Hi I am reading the OTN articles at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/asm/pdf/asm%20r2%20new%20features.pdf and found the following point which is not clear to me. In Oracle Database 10g Release 2, Oracle clusterware does not require Oracle RAC clicense. Oracle clusterware is available with ASM and single Instance Oracle Database 10g allowing support for a shared, clustered pool of storage for single instance Oracle database. Many single instance Databases can leverage ASM and Oracle clusterware to economically consolidate multiple islands of databases into a single clustered pool of storage managed by ASM. This feature allows custoemers to optimize their storage utilization by eliminating waster over-provisioned storage and save money by reducing their overall footprints of database storage I didn't got the point here as is that mean I can install Oracle clusterware. Actually I have one Veritas cluster environment where I have two database server in Active Passive mode with Shared Storage. I am looking on some hint as if Veritas Cluster environment can be changed with such solution. Tx Sanjay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
