Those RM600E are a common Oracle platform over here, I was
participating at some OPS8 testing on RM600E clusters for nearly
one year. Initially we had to adjust some kernel parameters and
create a new kernel (idbuild). Before doing so we encountered strange
Oracle crashes with heavy load. But then, for our max load tests
it seemed to be stable, we also received good support from Oracle.
If you need a big Oracle system, I think the RM600 is worth
consideration, especially as clustering for RM600 is established
quite well, no trouble with it. Also disk control (mirroring/
striping and combinations of it) are configurable in the OS
and working well. We were testing both with Soft RAID and external
RAID cabinets as well, for sure, the latter was faster but the
sooner (with up to 180 shared and mirrored vdisks) was not slow.
