[nylug-talk] Creating a Oracle cluster without using RAC and GFS

[Ezra Taylor]

Thanks Peter.  I'm not exactly sure.  I was told that a Cluster has to
be built without RAC and GFS.  I"m trying to guess what these guys
want.  To answer your question, we want failover.  Also, I'm not sure
how this can happen without RAC or GFS.  The dba's are going to deal
with OCFS I assume.  Again, that for your input.
