>> unskilled DBAs How about unskilled developers writing code ...? :-) Robert -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 5/25/2004 7:39 AM Subject: Re: with all this talk about RAC... Bill: From my experience most of the RAC related issues comes with unskilled DBAs managing the databases with their experimental minds. I have implemeted RAC in more than 20+ sites in various platforms and different hardwares and no one (so-far) has complained against RAC. Needless to say for many of them the data/availability is the oxygen for their business (Most of them are Telecom and banking customers). Now coming to the original question, I would recommend Linux Clusters against Sun clusters. You may also want to use the OCFS (it is stable now on Linux) and have a shared oracle home. IMHO RAC is stable and proven.
