Dear All,

My company is about to purchase two HP L3000 Class Servers (2 CPUS each) configured in a Primary and Redundant server configuration with a FC60 Disk Array connected to both Servers through Fibre Channel. The version of Oracle will be Oracle 8 Enterprise Edition.

The HP Representative says the configuration can support Load Balancing by installing additional software ("Workload Manager" and "HP Process Resource Manager") on both Servers. However, he was quick to point out that Load Balancing will only work if Application running on the server supports it.

The Oracle Website suggests that it is possible but "Oracle Parallel Server" would need installing.

What the Oracle site doesn't say is whether Oracle Parellel Server is supported on HP UNIX Server. It just say Major Unix Versions.

So my question, can anyone advise me whether a HP L-Class cluster will work with Parallel Server?

Thanks in advance for any info,

Leon Hall
