RE: Oracle on VMS?

Have you checked out RAC on VMS?  Since the RAC's clustering technology
was born in VMS, the docs (from memory, 9i) had no prerequisite setup
for a VMS cluster.  Not that I'm advocating RAC, but that little tidbit
was interesting, given the setup needed on Linux for RAC.

The last I used Oracle on VMS was 8.0.5 on VMS 7.2.  I hope Oracle's at
least using OFA on VMS now.  The directory structure of an Oracle
install on VMS was way different from Linux/HPUX/Solaris back then.

Tom,

Actually, the argument is being made by the data center people because a
major back-end system already runs on VMS.  We currently run Oracle on
Windows and want to move to RAC, which to me means Linux; the data
center would prefer that we not introduce another OS.  I agree about
stability, and the OS expertise exists in the data center, but I think
the availability and support issues will carry the day.  BTW, Oracle10g
is still not available for VMS.

Thanks for your 2 cents!

Paul
