Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Windows 2000 Cluster on oracle
Saying Windows is unstable shows no lack of understanding. It is a fact.
At least a fact for me. I try to keep my Win2000 as stable as possible, but
since the kernel now contains fun things like *video* (not in the original
plans for this "New Technology"), I must reboot at least once a week or face
the possibility of system failure (video flakes, Windohs Exploder explodes
and/or memory leaks, etc. -- sans BSOD). I reluctantly run some Oracle
products on this machine for now. We are in the process of moving OMS and
Names to a Linux box for stability.
And the "baggage of WindowsNT" as you put it must be carried forward at least until Windohs2000 stops being "built using NT technology", whatever the hell that means.

We have had an excellent experience with our Windows2000 clusters. Since
moving to a clustered environment
on our Test, Beta and Production systems over 18 months ago we have had 0 (
Zero ) outages due to
Windows. in fact I have yet to see a BSOD on over 20 database servers since
going to Windows2000.
Saying Windows is unstable shows a lack of understanding of what Windows2000
is today. Carrying the
baggage of WindowsNT forward is a disservice.
I say go for it. In fact we will be moving to 9i RAC by the end of this year
and we are planning
on using Windows as our Oracle platform.
