Re: Historic interest-which cluster software did you use in 9i RAC?

For AIX I have seen HACMP with 9iRAC. In Sun Veritas Cluster mostly. HP-UX Serviceguard.

I still see customers using third party clustering software in 10g because they need CFS, many database uses utl_file and some sites dont allow NFS for this purpose. Also some customers need some staging area for external tables and relies on CFS as well.

Thanks
