Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: 10g RAC -- Multiple DB's and mixed OS
The outfit that I work for has done both many times. RAC on Winders is always a nightmare both during setup and then operationally. I'm familiar with a number of sites that have tried and given up on RAC/Windows. It's just too unmanageable, too unstable, too costly in terms of time. Any flavor *ix is better. Personally I don't really like RAC on Linux, but that wasn't part of the question.

and all the people that run it on windows successfully are just kidding themselves?

Dissimilar operating systems not allowed. Must be identical platforms.
If Linux is available as a choice, make both nodes Linux, you will be much happier, even if it's a completely MS shop!
