Who will install and support the ClusterWare ? SunCluster, VeritasCluster and Fujitsu PrimeCluster are options for clustering Solaris servers. I don't think SunCluster is supported on Fujitsu and PrimeCluster on Sun. As for VeritasCluster, yes, it is available on both Sun and Fujitsu servers. But who [ie which of your vendors] would install and support it ? Furthermore, the 9iRAC certification is on SunCluster and Veritas on Sun boxes and PrimeCluster and Veritas on Fujitsu boxes but Oracle Support might not be comfortable with a "mix". My site does have Oracle 8.1.7 {non-OPS} + Sun + SunCluster + HitachiStorage in one environment and Oracle 9.2.0. {non-RAC} + Fujitsu + VeritasCluster + EMCStorage in another environment.
