no reason why not, the different elements you mention don't really know anything about each other. If a normal ext3 filesystem works from a SAN, them an LV must do too etc... are you having problems?

thank u for reply,

no i am not facing any issue.since i am project deployment guy normally we will not create "/" and "/boot" as lvm in oracle environment.But in case if free space is required to the "/" we cannot increase right.?.so this is the question just popped up in mind.

/boot is the only thing that lives otside of LVM. I've plenty of servers with local LVM / partitions.
