Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Re: SUN vs. HP
HI..
can someone please tell me a 'bit more'
about HP does it follow the 'basic tenets' of UNIX
or is it a 'freak deviant' version of UNIX (like AIX!!!)..
For starters what is service guard please? is it a cluster software? or RAID software to handle disk boxes?
How 'different' is HP unix from Solaris? (both from a DBA's point of view and sys admin's point of view)!
Thanks
I have been working with Oracle under HP, I find HP server with high fault toulerence and reliable. If we tune the OS and DB then we can get maximum performance. One word of caution is that, if u use Mc Servicegaurd then u shud go for OPS. Which works for only on RAW partitions. Administration will not be a easy job. Instead go for AutoRAID box which HP has got. It converts itself bet RAID5 and RAID1/0.
My recomendation will be for RAID10, where u have disk mirroring,stripping and protection for Data and better performance.
I have not worked with SUN. But i have heard that the native code,compilation and testing of oracle is in the SUN OS.
But HP is also a good OS.
H/w is slightly costlier in HP.
