actually, in o8 we kind of integrated the lock manager in the database,
eg as an oracle process, which pretty much already was the case for AIX
anyways because as far as I know aix did not have a fault tolerant
lockmanager, but on other systems oracle used the OS lockmanager. now in
8 they changed this, to be less vendor dependant.. or so was the idea...
but we still need something like a nodecomponent, which is from the
vendor, so like 75% is now integrated but the node monitor is still used
on OS / vendor level.. if this makes any sense. I am not aix expert but
hacmp is used to check the heartbeat of the nodes right ? if that is the
case I assume you will need it for o8 as well.
