Folks



For an Upcoming High End Hybrid Benchmark SUN is advising using Solaris
10 Cluster in place of the Veritas Cluster but with the Veritas Shared
Cluster Filesystem (CFS).



How would this impact the following:-



*         Performance impact (Most important) - Would the FULL Veritas
SFRAC Product Setup PERFORM better than the Hybrid mix of SUN Cluster
with Veritas Shared CFS?

*         If SUN Cluster is to be considered can 2 PRIVATE Interconnects
be setup, as is possible when using Veritas SFRAC? This is to allow Load
Balancing between the Private interconnects.

*         If SUN Cluster is to be considered, Can LLT Protocol be used
instead of UDP? Is LLT Advisable?



*         Price impact -Would it cost Less to buy only the Veritas
Shared CFS module instead of the Full Veritas SFRAC ver 5? Since the
Customer is using SUN machines, SUN may give the SUN Cluster FREE.

*         Bugs fixes impact

*         Oracle Support impact
