    Hi managers

    I'm look towards the future, and it seems like that 9i RAC will be our
    next deployment of Oracle. We currently run 8 in HA, with Veritas Cluster,
     and we're very happy with it.

    Unfortunately, the supported configurations of hardware for 9i RAC seem
    very limited, especially when one looks at Solaris on Sparc. Our current
    configuration, for example, isn't supported. The 'official' Sun reference
    build for this consists of two 280Rs and a couple of A1000s. This is
    an inflexible solution (the storage can't be shared with other devices)
    and the Sun list for it is a ludicrous US$200,000.

    Is anyone here running Oracle 9i RAC on Suns? What clustering software
    and storage solution are you using? Is this a certified solution from
    either Sun, the storage or the cluster vendor?

    Thanks very

    Ahau K'in
