RE: Sun cluster vs Veritas cluster

I have
used both and somewhat prefer VCS.  In both systems, we've had problems where the cluster was in an unknown state and any action to change the state was risky to all the services in the cluster.  This is rare for both products.

Our
Sun support required for us to pay them to certify our stuff before they'd support the implementation.  Don't know if you're subject to this too, but VCS has no such rule.  The tests were interesting, but we could conduct the tests without their involvement.

We are
in the process of migrating from Sun cluster to VCS, fyi.

  List,
   
  Just wondering if anyone on the list who had   experience on both Sun clustering and Veritas clustering software share their   experience on both products, strength and weakness or any   comparison??
