Here is the field inquiry. Customer like to run its RAC over NFS/VNX, Version of Oracle they have is 10g standard Edition, it is said 10g SE RAC is not supported to run over NFS.
As the statement, third party clusterware is not supported, AND customers must use Automatic Storage Management to manage all data, I would speak with them to upgrade to EE or change to VNX block solution.

The ASM requirement is mentioned in a number of placesbut most clearly in the Oracle Software investment guide
Oracle Database Standard Edition only can be licensed on servers that
have a maximum capacity of 4 sockets. Effective with the release of 10g, the Oracle
Database Standard Edition product includes the Real Applications Clusters database
Edition versions prior to 10g. Customers who obtain Oracle's Software Updates
License & Support for the Standard Edition Database can upgrade to the 10g version of
the product for the supported licenses. Also, customers must use Oracle Cluster
Ready Services as the clusterware; third party clusterware is not supported, AND
customers must use Automatic Storage Management to manage all data.
