Group,

Tru64 was made for RAC.
If you have the choice: Go Tru64 
(just ignore the fact the platform will be decommissioned,
some orgs still run openvms, that was clustering...)

Linux will run RAC, but it will help if 
you bring the T64 methods to Linux when setting it up:
- choose a CFS.
- install your sw only once (and an passive backup, mountable in case of
trouble or patches/upgrades).

(Kevin, the floor is yours again...)

Aren't the key features of Tru64 (trucluster, advfs) being ported 
to HP-UX, so there is some hope that the success I have had with 
Tru64 will show up in HP-UX.  

That's if we stay with Unix as opposed to moving to Linux.

9iRAC on Tru64 is a breeze.  And Tru64 is True Cluster File System.

I couldn't agree more, after the pains of an initial install (i.e. steep
learning curve), 
I was able to create/re-create a test environment in 1-2 days.  That
included moving hardware around,
setting up the SAN, installing the O/S, patching it, installing 9.2.0.1
rac, then patching that to 9.2.0.4, and
finally copy a database from my production system to the new test
platform.

At least it has a decent kernel now coming with it (and probably soon

Pls let me know on your success installing it, I'll probably start
experimenting with the 64bit version on couple of Itanium boxes (connected
