We did the same thing after being Oracle's playground in a critical HA
environment. This
was a RAC cluster on Win2000 (bugs, hangs, split-brains you name it we had
it)
For cold fail-overs - we use AIX/HACMP a lot - but my favorite is Tru64
cluster - the fail-overs
are very fast because of the clustered filesystem (out of the box - no
oracle crap). Personaly, it's
the only platform I would run RAC on again. We still have Tru64 with 8i OPS
running - never gives a kick...
