I guess Max and I are looking at doing something similar...
Our 8400 system shows…

Cesar,
What type of storage are you using for your database?
We have a StorageWorks RAID Array 7000 (18) 9.1 GB 10000 RPM Disks.
The current Data TS is mirrored and stripped across 3 drives. It is
about at 45% capacity. This seems to be optimal for our current DB
running under Oracle8. We have not changed the size since our last
upgrade in June 2000.

I guess the question is, if we upgrade the UNIX OS to Tru64 5.1b ..
Can we use the current hardware or do we have to upgrade the
processors, RAID, memory, controllers, etc?

Or for an OS, is MS Windows a solution on a Dell Server?
The reason we are thinking windows is that the target sites are
migrating their applications to Windows and would like to stay on
windows.
However, I have heard that MS Windows (Server / Advanced Server 2000)
is not the best OS platform to run Oracle on.
