RE: Urgent Fail Safe Question

Huh? Jared, did your search reveal that OFS is available for platforms other then Windows?

The white papers and doc that I read stated Windows only because it's tied into Microsoft Cluster Server. IMHO, I think the Oracle folks took a look at MS Cluster Server and realized that it wouldn't be that hard to setup Oracle in MS Cluster Server. IMHO2, if you knew enough about MS Cluster Server you could probably setup Oracle in the cluster without OFS. But OFS makes it so much easier.

I thought so too. A search on MetaLink shows Fail Safe for several platforms.
