RE: Windows clustering???

Now you've got me going, Rich.

After 15 years of VMS we're being forced to use UNIX (HP-UX 11i) just because
the application we want to use doesn't run on VMS.
(Developers needed to re-write the app for VMS. Marketing needed so the
developers will be paid
 and the company will be profitable.)

It's taking me a little while to become accustomed to CaSe SenSiTIvitY.
(VMS's revenge on case sensitivity? Font-size *and* font-set sensitivity!)

Clustering is just something we've taken for granted. We do run Oracle on VMS (since 1999) and have not had the up-time mentioned in that INQ article.

Keeping the cluster up is a lot easier than keeping an instance up!

I'm guessing they're not running Oracle on this VMS cluster. I really liked the part about "the most difficult part was explaining to managers why it was unnecessary to shut systems down, even during the physical relocation."

Imagine if DEC had any marketing...
