Best practice for creating reliable mounts from SAN Storage - Redhat cluster

Latest response

I am working on a two-node Redhat cluster implementation which will host Oracle Databases. SAN team has presented LUNs to the two nodes and DBA is requesting the following.

Node1
/u101
/u102
/u103
/u104

TOTAL: Use the Pure Storage Volume provided by the storage team that is for Node1 at the requested size of 400 GB

Node2
/u201
/u202
/u203
/u204

TOTAL: Use the Pure Storage Volume provided by the storage team that is for Node2 at the requested size of 200 GB

My plan is to create a normal LVM setup on each box from the respective LUN and then create different mount points from the VG which can be managed as resources in Redhat Cluster. I have been reading on GFS2 and curious if that will be more reliable for hosting Oracle data as it will be a shared storage between two hosts?
