    We are looking to move to Oracle 10g within the next 12 months and I
    had a few preliminary questions.

    Is Oracle 10g similiar to the Oracle parallel server of old? Basically
    we have hit a bottleneck in the SGA and have reached a point where
    simply throwing more hardware at the problem with not buy us much
    (except inflated support and software costs) So, is 10g still the same
    old 2 or more systems looking at the same physical disks with an SGA
    on each node? (thus I will be using raw disks for oracle storage?) If
    so, does Veritas support this with their Storage Foundation for Oracle
    product?

    We are now using Veritas DBE 3.5 and I know that only one system can
    have a disk group imported at any one time, so am I right by assuming
    DBE will not work for a 10g installation? I mainly only need vxfs
    capabilities so if I must use raw disk devices I no longer really need
    Veritas. All my storage is SAN attached and all systems in my
    enteprise can see all logical disks, so I don't need any volume
    management. (all RAID is done via hardware on the SAN itself)

    I'm due to go to oracle 10g training soon but I had some budget
    deadlines due this week and am trying to get a ballpark cost of
    hardware/software and support.

    Thx,
    rhugga
