First ran 9.2.0.8 RAC on Solaris, clusterware was Veritas VCS.  When we moved 
to 10g, we moved to Linux and Oracle Clusterware only.

Subject: Historic interest-which cluster software did you use in 9i RAC?

Dear listers,

my first contact with RAC was with Oracle 10.1.0.3. It had all the bells 
and whistles for deployment out of the box already, especially since my 
platform of choice was Linux. There simply was no need to look for third 
party clusterware or clustered file systems that I possibly couldn't get 
my hands on anyway.

I participated in some serious load testing carried out in Montpellier, 
but purely from a database point of view-if memory serves me right then 
the infrastructure was p-Series AIX 5.3 with HACMP and GPFS... Not that 
I have seen it though :(

So here's my question-how did you deploy RAC (don't care about the 
platform) in the 9i days? Which software did you use to provide all the 
services we take for granted with Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure?

Or even more interestingly-who out there is still using additional 
cluster software for RAC? And which additional benefit do you get that 
your platform doesn't provide?

Thanks all in advance for sharing!

Martin
