Re: Oracle Parallel Server and Replication

Manish

Answers to your questions:

1. 8.0.5 is certified with Solaris 2.7. The latest patch available is 8.0.5.1.
2. On Unix, yes. The problem is the OS can't share files on cooked partitions, only raw. OPS itself doesn't need raw, as evidenced by the fact it runs on cooked file systems on VMS.
3. All shared files for the database should be on raw as a result of the Unix file sharing limitation. Archived files don't need to be.
