Paul, there should be no 'Solaris Cluster' required and is not planned - just the RAC environment running on Solaris or Linux - both are possible. I haven't done the xing between the 'supported RAC HW' matrix and the 'what OS supports SAS shared storage equivalent to SANs' - but i hope that OpenSolaris XX have all nasty SAS stuff supported, isn't it ?
