Hi.
Judging by what was being said at OOW, I think many of the existing Oracle
systems will move across quite quickly. It's not a difficult change for an
exisitng OEL/RHEL 5.5 system. Stuff on older RHEL versions will be more
problematic.
It was suggested that product certification will take place against the
Oracle Kernel prior to the RHEL kernel, since it is their intention that we
should all be using the Oracle Kernel anyway. Not sure if it will actually
work out that way.
Regarding Solaris, well it becoming a primary development platform (along
with Linux and Windows) just means the versions will come out quicker for
Solaris (allegedly) than they currently do because they won't have to wait
to be ported from the completed Linux version. As you say, it doesn't
necessarily mean support will have a Solaris box available to test.
Regarding Solaris on Exadata and Exalogic. Not sure what the demand for this
will be. Either way you are getting Intel kit, so I guess it depends on how
deeply in love with Solaris you are. :)
Cheers
Tim...
