Re: 10g RAC without vendor clusterware

Hi all,

I have ASM running in the RAC mode, that means no need
to restart anything.
I have two RAC databases (one ASM and one normal).
What a nightmare :)

Did not have enough time to play with ASM in RAC mode.

Anyway ASM is good for the start.
It is going to be improved in 10g R2.

I suppose many ASM bad behaviours will be fixed and
the API/GUI for ASM will be much better.

Regards,
Zoran
