Hi
For AIX I have seen HACMP with 9iRAC. In Sun Veritas Cluster mostly. HP-UX
Serviceguard.
I still see customers using third party clustering software in 10g because
they need CFS, many database uses utl_file and some sites dont allow NFS for
this purpose. Also some customers need some staging area for external tables
and relies on CFS as well.
Thanks
