HP at version 10 and better is yet another SYSVR4 system. From a users or
programmers point of view it is very generic. Service Guard is HP fault
tolerant solution where two boxes share disk and if one node fails the other
can take over. It is fairly complex and requires a good UNIX sysadmin.
Oracle runs well in this environment.

maximum performance. One word of caution is that, if u use Mc Servicegaurd
then u shud go for OPS. Which works for only on RAW partitions.
Administration will not be a easy job. Instead go for AutoRAID box which HP
has got. It converts itself bet RAID5 and RAID1/0.
