Re: Cluster file systems versus raw devices in Oracle RAC

about the cost of RAC, you are right.
I was looking on that as no cost at all because that in large IT
companies you have a site license for oracle (get every thing you wish
from oracle) and the cost of oracle tools doesn't get in the cost
calculation...

Even with site licenses, the company still has to pay for it (and support!) Existing site license just makes the decision whether to go with Oracle or not a bit easier as there is no hassle aboout getting budget for licenses, just buy the server(s) and go.

...I think you are the only human on earth that managed to get RAC
included in site license cost.  Everyone else I've ever heard of has
had to "buy up".

Kevin is right, as much as I've seen none of the site licenses have had RAC included, most of my customers have even had to pay for partitioning extra (although discounted) price.

There probably is a handful of exceptions here, but those guys don't coun't (hundreds of) thousands anyway...

Tanel.
