Hi,
I have not 8.1.7 running; 8.1.6.3 instead. On AIX our biggest problem was getting the right version of HACMP installed, which should be HACMP/ES >= 4.3.1. Make the oracle software owner member of a group common to the HACMP software owner and all works fine. In metalink you can find a few good articles about the HACMP setup.

I never used ops for scalability so my setups are with a primary instance and a reduntant instance for failover. With RAC scalability issues should be solved. When load balancing is needed MTS could be a good method to get it when using remote service registration.

Ronald.
