But... Can i do that just with centos install cd and 3ware drivers? Format
the volumes with 8TB/9TB/10TB without problems?

Using Oracle you are better of using "XFS" or "RAW" (raw meaning a drive
partitioned with no filesystem). RAW would be better performance wise also.
Or using RAW on a fast SAN network will work also. Hope that machine has
plenty of RAM!!!
