RE: MC/Serviceguard vs Sun Clusters

I'll second this. I worked with Sun a few years ago at another place. Here, we're an HP shop with 2 OPS clusters (2 node and 4 node). We finally moved our straggler Compaq cluster to HP a couple of months ago.   

I'll caveat by saying that we do have a couple of well seasoned SAs and DBAs so it's all been pretty easy to setup and we've found it to be very reliable.

Beware of the lollipop of mediocrity.
One lick and you'll suck forever.
