Yes. My reference could have been clearer and I was responding to the OP's handle which indicates HP/UX RAC rather than Solaris which is what I expect you are using. You can use Veritas with 10g but I can't imagine why anyone would want to spend the extra money to repurchase functinality.

In 9i we had the 'Cluster Manager' which has evolved into CRS.
