Sun HA Monitoring and Oracle 9

    Here's a little background. We are currently running Oracle 8.1.6.0, 8.1.7.0, and 8.1.7.4 on a Sun cluster. We use HA monitoring for failover, in case there is a problem with any of the nodes. The version of HA is 2.2. We installed Oracle 9.2.0.1 on the cluster and created a new database using it. When the SA tried to start the HA monitoring, it wouldn't run. We ended up recreating the database in 8.1.7.4. When the SA contacted Sun, he was told that HA version 2.2 only supports up to Oracle 8.1.7. In order to monitor Oracle 9, we had to buy (not upgrade to) HA 3.0, which would require a rebuild of the entire cluster.

    Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what have you done to get around it? Let me know if I forgot any important piece of information.

Thank you.
