Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Sun cluster vs Veritas cluster
Steve,
Thanks for your input, I had previously used HP
Service Guard on HP-UX platform, it worked for us. I am now on Sun platform and
looking at HA solution using either Sun or Veritas clustering solution, I also
heard that the older version of Sun clustering is not very sophisticated
compared to other clustering solution, are you using 2.x or the latest 3.0, from
what I read on Sun web site, v3.0 seems to do a lot more than the old version,
any comments from the list?? The other things I need to check is rather OPS is
supported with Veritas Cluster on Sun platform, anyone know??
KC

Veritas cluster
I
have used both and somewhat prefer VCS. In both systems, we've had
problems where the cluster was in an unknown state and any action to change
the state was risky to all the services in the cluster. This is rare
for both products.

before they'd support the implementation. Don't know if you're subject
to this too, but VCS has no such rule. The tests were interesting, but
we could conduct the tests without their involvement.

better bet since it's not as tied to the hardware vendor, and is more likely
to be common across Unixes, if you're in a site where you've got more than
one Unix vendor's stuff to support, like I am.

We
are in the process of migrating from Sun cluster to VCS,
fyi.

cluster
List,
Just wondering if anyone on the list who
had experience on both Sun clustering and Veritas clustering software
share their experience on both products, strength and weakness or any
comparison??
