Hi Gopal,

<Quote>

Please be noted, when there is a problem with Installation/Node evictions you may not be able to raise an SR with Oracle or file a bug unless you can reproduce the same behaviour with the absence of SFRAC. <Unquote>

Your statement above is applicable only for Veritas clusterware (Non UDP) or *ANY* clusterware (based on UDP) other than Oracle Clusterware?

Thanks and Regards

Sriram Kumar
