Hi,
The Sun Cluster Express release has already shipped a new feature called Zone Clusters. This is a Virtual Cluster where the virtual node is a zone. A major reason for developing this feature was to provide the ability to run Oracle RAC in zones. Oracle RAC requires a cluster environment, in other words Oracle RAC requires multiple machines. The Zone Cluster satisfies the needs of Oracle RAC. We have successfully run RAC 9i, 10g, & 11g on the same hardware at the same time in different zone clusters. The Sun Cluster Marketing organization always announces new features. As an engineer I cannot formally announce new support. However, I would be happy to provide more information for you, and can even demonstrate this feature in actual operation for interested people. The next product release of Sun Cluster will be SC3.2 update 2 early in 2009. I am most optimistic about supporting RAC with Zone Clusters soon. If anybody wants more detailed information, please contact me. Regards, Ellard ... >> 8. What databases are supported today for Solaris containers?
