I'm in the middle of a Grid Control installation on a cold-failover-cluster. Just wanted to rant... this is a major pain. If anyone has any tips or suggestions (problems you ran into and the solutions) then I'd love to hear... maybe it could save me a headache or two. As if I haven't head enough already. Sheesh. FYI... it's on AIX (HACMP for failover), Data Guard for database failover, storage on ASM. Basically doing a stripped-down version of Oracle's MAA white paper on Grid Control (no RAC or clustered AS). A few of my headaches were not Oracle's fault (the SA's and network guys here had a few duuh moments) but doing GC on an AIX CFC has not been smooth by any means. -- Jeremy Schneider Chicago, IL http://www.ardentperf.com/category/technical
