Beats me. We're meeting with Oracle next week to learn more about CRS.
Guess we'll find out then.

Thanks for the reply. I got that same pitch about CRS or whatever they
call it. Not sure I'm confident on that just yet but it seems to replace
HACMP!

So Oracle RAC supports JFS and RAW or just RAW?

What we're being told by our IBM partner is that for a small cluster (2
or 3 servers) GPFS is overkill. HACMP will do fine because all you
really need is the ability to use enhanced concurrent volume groups -
which HACMP provides.

The question we're still trying to get an answer for is whether you
still need HACMP for Oracle 10g since 10g comes with the new CRS
feature.

Anybody care to comment in the pros and cons of using GPFS as opposed to
RAW for HACMP 5.1 and Oracle RAC?
