Setting up a new DU box

We're putting in a new administrative system here and the OS choice seems
to be coming in at DU. I've got a couple of questions for the list on
this one.

1. Should I use ADVFS for the the file systems? (All of them?)

2. The box is coming with 18 rz29b's and a swxcr with 32M of cache. On my
vms box, I partition the raid sets down to smaller "partitions" using the
RAID Software to accomplish this. Can ADVFS do this "partitioning" for me
or do I run LSM on top of the raid sets.

3. I plan on running enhanced security on this box. Any gotchas on this?

4. Any other overall comments on setting DU up in a true client/server
environment?

5. This will be a big time Oracle box. Comments/gotcha's on setting it
up?

Jim

ps - the box in question is a dual processor 4000 w/512M. Software to be
run is, as I said above Oracle and SCT's Banner product.
