I meant iFS of course, not iAS! Regards, Patrice Boivin Systems Analyst (Oracle Certified DBA)

They did a demonstration cluster with OPS with the clustered servers sitting on a table. I asked a pointed question to one of the presenters re. iAS, whether it uses less memory than it used to when it first came out. It took him a while to answer, finally he just said that it uses less memory server-side, but it still uses a lot. He didn't mention how much.

The seminar was hosted by Oracle/Compaq. Compaq RAC allows multiple CPU's to mount and use/share the same datafiles in a true RAC configuration. The drives including the os drive are on a SAN and shared by the CPU's so knowledge is shared. It was pointed out the new Linux RAC can only share a RAW device and not a datafile. I don't know if this is true as I have not tried it yet. The speaker at the seminar said that with other OS's a RAC is like a High Availability (HA) option, one CPU is doing nothing until the first one fails or you only run different applications and datafiles on one CPU and other applications and datafiles on the second CPU. if one fails you have to mount the datafiles and switch applications to the active CPU. To use a true RAC you have to use Compaq and I think the market share of the OS's are not True64, so there are probably not a lot of users of RAC.
