Sounds like a poor HA cluster implementation. In our environment, all the disks are in disk groups (which are known to all the hosts in the cluster). Only one host can have the diskgroup imported at one time. That's just basic hardware clustering 101. We also have EMC disk behind it all.

Stay with HP Serviceguard! From experience, I rank HA solutions in this order: 1. HP serviceguard - easy and it works. 2. IBM HACMP - do it the way IBM wants it and it works. 3. Sun Cluster - get a high paid consultant to set it up and have them come back to change it :) Better yet, go with

Actually, the heartbeat has been the biggest pain in the but of ServiceGuard. Its caused 99.99% of the failures. Granted once it was a failed network card. All in all though, I have been pretty happy with ServiceGuard. And ours is dedicated and protected:-) -Original Message- [EMAIL

Could you explain the file corruption in a little more detail? I cannot imagine how failover would cause file corruption, much less how a properly configured running Oracle instance can get 'absolutely destroyed'. Isn't that the purpose of having Oracle over say a nonlogged, singlethreaded,
