Subject: Re: Oracle RAC ON Linux vs AIX
Fuad,
with RAC 10gR2, there's no HACMP. And if you use ASM, no OCFS nor GPFS either,
so it gets down to the hardware cost, and above all, maintenance costs of the servers, plus administrators availability (i.e. your guys know better Linux than AIX, or the other way around, in many cases services around the servers cost, over some years more than the servers themselves)

I'm doing a feasibility study on Oracle RAC and wanted some comments from the folks using RAC.
Can someone give me the pros and cons of using RAC(10.2) on Linux vs AIX.
i know some of them include the free clustware with linux from oracle vs HACMP(paid) option on AIX. OCFS from Oracle vs GPFS on AIX.
Looking for more info like how is patching and support of Oracle on AIX vs Linux(preferable RH AS).
Any comments or experiences appreciated.
Fuad
