I'd vote for the middle option.  Veritas AC for RAC is hideously complex and there's about a million ways to be running on it even though the config is fundamentally broken.  It could also be the clustered file system, of course, since cluster file systems are Hard Problems (tm).

 

Thanks,

Matt

That point was not disclosed.  Personally, I vote for the later.

Thanks for the " rumor gossip" Dick,

 

Is this in reference to the Veritas clustered file systems technology? Or the Veritas Cluster Manager product? Or a file systems manager person?

 

Curiouser and curiouser...

Folks,

 

    While we're on Veritas's backs, I recently (like Tuesday night) heard from an Oracle employee (to remain nameless) that Orbitz will be issuing a retraction of their claim that their Oracle RAC implementation was the root cause of the outage they had.  Seems the true culprit is, guess who, as the file system manager.  It is supposedly also causing other problems with non Oracle stuff too.

The database backup is only export.

 

Once in a while they are supposed to be doing a cold

backup.

 

Finally found someone that said they can't use

the Oracle Veritas agent with Oracle 9.0.2 and

Failsafe and/or clustering. They have given them

a case number and are working on it. When he

brings up the Oracle agent it crashes...

 

Well, that's why we aren't getting any

backup... except the export and MAYBE a cold

backup once in a while.

 

Thanks list.
