Re: Oracle RAC for scalability or High Availability only

>Yeah, I know it's a pain to migrate to another server vs. simply adding another node.

For me this has usually been a matter of getting the new server up and fully tested, including scripting the huge import. Actual implementation is then a matter of pushing a few buttons on a Friday, and having someone push out some client changes. A couple of times I've been able to do it as a simple restore. Application upgrades are usually much more work.

I understand RAC's have had some issues with rolling upgrades, but that seems to be going away as a problem.
