Palooka,

Please note 'cheap' is usually a synonym for 'stupid'.

What HACMP has to offer has nothing to do with RAC, and it should not be used as RAC replacement.
Basically HACMP is shared nothing technology and RAC is shared everything technology.
Actually in 10g, using RAC, you don't even *need* HACMP anymore.
