Can you more elaborate on this? I have here despite others also
combination of AIX 5.2, HACMP, RAC ORA 9.2.0.5 (across two nodes) + EMC
Symmetrix(PowerPath). We had problems with Oracle, AIX, combination of
both, but as far as I know there were no problems with EMC Symmetrix
because of its "problematic" RAC support. However, we're using raw
devices, so the only thing that we need from our storage is to provide
concurrent access to stored data from both nodes. Used PowerPath
drivers can do this with almost not problems. Maybe in the case of
using Clustered Filesystem is the situation different. Would be nice to
know about problems of others to be prepared for the worst. :-)
