NFS is a supported storage option for Oracle and can be used for:
Note: Oracle Direct NFS (dNFS) does not support Oracle clusterware files (voting disks and OCR). Also, because dNFS does not support soft mounts, dNFS does not support quorum disks (quorum failure groups). For quorum disks, use an NFS soft mount. The quorum failure group feature can be used in an Oracle ASM disk group without requiring a hard mount for NFS storage. With hard mounts, ASM or the database might stop responding if the NFS server becomes unavailable.
Oracle ADVM, Oracle ACFS, and ASMFD are not supported with NFS. However, NFS disks can be used with Oracle ACFS NAS Maximum Availability Extension.
