are two choices for the underlying cluster server: Sun Cluster 3.0 and Veritas
AC for RAC. If you decide to use Sun Cluster, you still need to buy
Veritas Volume Manager with the cluster option, since Sun doesn't
Lizz,
Here are a couple of things you will need if you want
to implement RAC on Solaris 9 with Veritas DBE/AC 3.5.
Veritas only certifies Storage arrays that support
SCSI-III persistent reservations so that leaves
XIOtech out as the storage array using Veritas DBE/AC
3.5.
If you use Solaris 9
Matt, Actually the Oracle note is correct and
Veritas's note is incorrect. Veritas is aware of that
the note you mention is incorrect. I believe the
problem is the 4 nodes where not supported until
Veritas released Maintenance Pack 1 (MP1) last
December. Veritas has also indicated to me that they
Veritas only certifies Storage arrays that support
SCSI-III persistent reservations so that leaves
XIOtech out as the storage array using Veritas DBE/AC
3.5.
Well, you just killed her budget!
