At a somewhat recent Oracle get together they said they were working with HP and Red Hat to get a shared filesystem developed so that RAC could run without raw devices. Compaq's TRU64 already had it. Wonder where HP thought they'd get theirs? Dick Goulet ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Author: Brian McGraw Date: 6/12/2002 6:48 AM That's interesting. At the 2001 IOUG, I seem to remember someone from Compaq touting how the TRU64 platform was chosen by Oracle for the initial development of RAC, and was supposedly the premiere platform for RAC - including getting away from raw file systems.

Dick Goulet Mandatory Oracle Plug: Another successful migration from TurboImage (YUCK) to Oracle included. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- --------------- ** Popular HP Server Bid Farewell Hewlett-Packard is enticing owners of its once-popular, now-doomed e3000 servers to buy HP-UX or Linux systems. The most likely migration path will be to HP 9000 servers running HP-UX, although buyers could also move to Intel-based ProLiant servers. HP is using a number of migration programs, including one that provides e3000 customers with "loaner" HP 9000s until they can make a full transition. It's also doing free migration assessments through HP Services and software and hardware trade-in rebates. HP's approach to retiring products will be closely watched, especially as it reconciles its product line with that of the newly acquired Compaq. Gartner analyst Paul McGuckin says this process "might help them see what works and what doesn't when they phase out [Compaq] Tru64" Unix machines. Virginia International Terminals is taking HP up on its offers. VIT manages Virginia's shipping ports, using four e3000 servers to track 1 million containers annually along the state's shoreline. When HP said it was discontinuing the e3000, "it sent a shockwave through our organization," says Clark Farabaugh, VIT's assistant IT director. VIT took advantage of HP's loaner program to begin migrating its container-management apps to HP-UX, scuttle its old e3000 Turbo Image database, and adopt the more Web-friendly Oracle 9i. - Larry Greenemeier For more, read: Analyst: HP Cut Chip Orders From Intel By 50% http://update.informationweek.com/cgi-bin4/flo?y=eHe60BdFGA0V20Bd720AD Fiorina: HP To Achieve Cost Cuts Ahead Of Schedule http://update.informationweek.com/cgi-bin4/flo?y=eHe60BdFGA0V20Bdnc0Av -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: INET: dgoulet@vicr.com Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
