John,

 

You should be able to tune the SCSI = device queue depth; I’ve done this on HP-UX and Solaris systems, but haven’t had to under AIX yet.  I don’t have an AIX = system handy to verify this, but I’m 90% sure you can do it.  AIX = also supports async I/O where HP-UX doesn’t (not sure about Sun), which = is a big win in an Oracle environment.

Hello,

What are the major differences between AIX and Solaris regarding
operating system features?

We are planning a new machine purchase; currently we are on a Sun = machine
running Solaris, but IBM is making a strong proposal to management
(meaning significantly less cost), and we are wondering what would need = to be
changed. We use korn shell scripts extensively, and features such as
crontab, background processing, the sqlplus <<EOF ... EOF = construct (not
sure what this is called). I'm fairly sure these are standard in = most
flavors of unix, but I have never had contact with AIX. Does anyone = know
what features differ between the two OS's?

If we went with Solaris, we would go with Solaris 9 running Oracle = 9.2
on a Sun 4800.

Thanks for any responders.
