Re: Re: SUN vs. HP

2001-03-24 Thread Allan Nelson

HP at version 10 and better is yet another SYSVR4 system.  From a users or
programmers point of view it is very generic.  Service Guard is HP fault
tolerant solution where two boxes share disk and if one node fails the other
can take over.  It is fairly complex and requires a good UNIX sysadmin.
Oracle runs well in this environment.

 HI..
 can someone please tell me a 'bit more'
 about HP does it follow the 'basic tenets' of UNIX
 or is it a 'freak deviant' version of UNIX (like AIX!!!)..

  For starters what is service guard please?
  is it a cluster software? or RAID software to handle
  disk boxes?


  How 'different' is HP unix from Solaris?

RE: SUN vs. HP

2001-03-20 Thread Kimberly Smith

I have no experience with the Sun cluster but I do have
experience with the HP ServiceGuard as its what we run
here.  We have even had it fail.  We do have a Sun server
here with a database on it and although I like the server
and have no complaints I am much happier with HP.  There
are just little things that drive me crazy on the Sun side.

If you have any specific questions on the HP side though
them out.  If I don't know the answer the sys. admin. team
is in the cube beside me.

I do know that they are happy with support from both companies,
which is very important.

Re: SUN vs. HP

2001-03-20 Thread Gene Sais

Check the numbers again, especially the software.  Having done the same study 1.5 yrs 
ago, HP was a little more expensive in the HW but much cheaper in SW.  Reason being 
Sun uses Veritas Trusted Cluster (expensive $100k) for HA and HP uses MCServiceguard.  
I've worked 5 yrs w/ Sun and 1.5 yrs w/ HP equipment.  They were both good, but if I 
had to choose, HP gave you many more tools whereas w/ Sun you buy everything.  

My last flavor of unix to conquer is IBM AIX.  They do it differently also.  For that 
matter, so did DEC OSF/1, now Compaq Tru64 unix (hard to say compaq unix). 

Just my $.02.

and reliable. If we tune the OS and DB then we can get maximum performance. One word 
of caution is that, if u use Mc Servicegaurd then u shud go for OPS. Which works for 
only on RAW partitions. Administration will not be a easy job. Instead go for AutoRAID 
box which HP has got. It converts itself bet RAID5 and RAID1/0.

My recomendation will be for RAID10, where u have disk mirroring,stripping and 
protection for Data and better performance.

I have not worked with SUN. But i have heard that the native code,compilation and 
testing of oracle is in the SUN OS.

But HP is also a good OS.

H/w is slightly costlier in HP.

Hi,

we are currently in the process of evaluating a high availiability cluster 
for our production database. The final two solutions are:

SunCluster 2x420R 2Gig 2x450Mhz 
Storage 100Gig

Hewlett Packard MC ServiceGuard
2xL-Class 2x440Mhz 2Gig 
Storage VA 7100 100Gig

Based on our criterias (scalability, performance, TCO, price, reliability, 
support, in house experience  ...) it looks like a dead race...

Any suggestions or thoughts would be help full 

cheers alex
