Duncan,
I'm in the middle of planning/implementing a RAC on Solaris cluster. The plan is to:
- use Oracle cluster services instead of other clusterware, less finger pointing.
- ASM is mandatory with RAC, you don't have a choice.

Subject: Oracle 11g CRS, RAC and ASM on Solaris
DBAs,
I am currently reviewing options for Oracle 11 RAC on Solaris 10 and one of the proposals on the table is:
- Use CRS as the only clusterware on the box
- Use ASM for database (clustered) storage
- Use Veritas VxFS on VxVM for (non-clustered) filesystems.
Has anyone else had experience with a similar set-up? If not, what do you use for RAC on Solaris?
I have seen SFRAC for cluster and storage on Oracle 10, but it seemed to disolve into cross-department finger pointing as soon as there was an issue with the cluster, the network or the storage. (Also, I understand it's not certified for 11g yet.)
Your thoughts appreciated.
Duncan.
