This does feel to me like going back in time now.
Like Mark Bobak first ran 9i RAC (9.2.0.3) on Solaris with Veritas
Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC. Moving to 10.1 and having 2
cluseterware managers running was the biggest pain imaginable. Was
glad to ditch the veritas and have a single stack when I did a solaris
-> linux migration (moving to 10.2 at the same time).
Though veritas did work and was pretty robust, by 10.1 it was just
getting in the way.
Could not imagine running RAC with 3rd party clusterware now. 10gR2
clusterware has proved to be very stable in my environment. We will
soon see if the massive changes in 11gR2 clusterware prove as equally
stable.
