RE: 10g RAC with Veritas SF

Folks

Need to do a NEW Test Setup of a 2 node Veritas SFRAC 5 on Solaris 10, Oracle 10gR2

Some basic Qs.

From the Robustness perspective, Which is Advisable:-

• ORACLE_HOME(s) On Shared or Local Disks?
• CRS_HOME(s) On Shared or Local Disks?

Any related Setup Docs, Links?

Thanks indeed

Alex,

The problem that you will probably face is integration between two

clusterware. CRS will still work behind the scenes and still can make

a decision before VCS does it or CRS might "think" that something is

wrong with the cluster while VCS will be just fine.

Another area to watch is VIP configuration and stupid dependencies in

10g. Even though 10g Release 2 lifted some limitations.

Anyway, those might not be relevant to you unless you environment is

complex and has really stringent HA requirements.

Also SF5 is quite new and I'm not sure Oracle has already been

certified on it (I remember it took a while even on SF4).

Another problem area I observed is of political matters - seems that

Oracle considers Veritas (now Symantec) as direct competitor in

cluster and storage management areas. On one site I experienced quite

a pressure from Oracle to make people step away from Veritas line of

products.

I would be interested to know how is your experience with this configuration.

Cheers,

Alex
