Re: MC/Serviceguard vs Sun Clusters

Stay with HP Serviceguard! From experience, I rank HA solutions in this order:

1. HP serviceguard - easy and it works.
2. IBM HACMP - do it the way IBM wants it and it works.
3. Sun Cluster - get a high paid consultant to set it up and have them come back to change it :) Better yet, go with Veritas Trusted Cluster.

Just my $.02. I know some Sun ppl on this list will disagree, but if they worked in a HP env maybe not :)

Hi...
 I am looking for inputs from anybody who has experience in both MC/Serviceguard (MC/S) as well as Sun cluster implementation. If a DBA/SA team has lots of experience in implementing MC/Serviceguard clusters on HP and trying to move to SunClusters for HA solution ...

1. What are the common things between MC/S and and Sun clusters (ex: about 5 minute fail-over time, fixed IP address, 2 or more nodes in a cluster, disk sharing etc..)
2. Any differences between these... What are the things to watch out for (assuming the team already knows in and out of MC/Serviceguard)

Thank you in advance...
Rama
