I have zero experience with 10g RAC, but a I was talking to another DBA =
who was looking in the same thing.
He believed that with a 3rd party clusterware, you would HAVE TO use =
Oracle storage manager - ASM? which is *new* software/process AND you =
don't get all of the other benefits that a modern Cluster Manager =
would/might provide. You would/might loose NIC/IP failover, filesystem =
failover, etc...all things the Oracle can live without but you =
applications may not?
Take all of this with a grain of salt...and share what you find out.

Subject: 10g RAC without vendor clusterware
Hi all,
does anyone have experience running 10g RAC on Solaris without Sun
Cluster or other clustersoftware ?
I'd like to know about your experiences because we're in the process of
deciding what to support for the application we make. Up till now we
were running mostly 9.2 RAC on Sun Cluster 3.0 on Sun HW. For a new
application we were asked to support both Sun and Fujitsu hardware.
Since Sun Cluster is not supported on Fujitsu hardware, we''ll have to
go for another solution.
Since we don't want to support too much different setups, we'll have to
drop Sun Cluster. That leaves us with Primecluster and Veritas cluster.
Undoubtedly both products will have their own strenghts and drawbacks.
But, since our options are open, we might as well consider running 10g
RAC and forget about other clusterware, maybe even about other volume
managers.
That's why I would like to hear about your experiences, is somebody
running this in production ?
Thanks in advance !
