[HPADM] Shared appl_top without cluster

Hi List,



We have a request from customer to configure Oracle shared appl_top in
their environment for their application tier. The details are as below



Customer configuration:



1) BL860c blades with HP-UX 11i V3.

2) EVA6400 storage

3) Oracle E-Biz suite release 12



Request:



1) Customer wants to use oracle shared appl_top for the application
tier servers, wherein same storage LUN should be mounted on all
application servers as filesystems. One of the filesystem is read-write.
How can this be achieved. Customer does not have HP cluster solution.





We have already referred to documents relating to Oracle e-business
suite and HP here:

http://h71019.www7.hp.com/ActiveAnswers/cache/388361-0-0-0-121.html#50



Especially the white paper "Sharing the application tier file system in
Oracle E-Business Suite R12 on HP-UX running on HP Integrity servers"
which talks specifically about a ServiceGuard environment.



We have also referred the metalink Document 384248.1 Sharing The
Application Tier File System in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.



However customer is unwilling to pay any further for purchasing
Serviceguard and CFS. Have you encountered such scenario? What have you
people done in such case?



a) What are the possible solutions for this request without
additional cost?

b) Can NFS be used as a workaround? If so, does any of you have a
document to configure NFS in such a case?

c) The oracle metalink document talks about NFS but does not outline
exactly how it can be done.



With regards,
