49.0. "Oracle/VAX Reference Sites" by BIRGP1::BLOOMFIELD (Pen is Mightier than the Pencil!) Fri Nov 27 1987 11:31

	Can anyone supply info on some good Oracle/VAX reference sites who would
be willing to talk to a prospective customer? (Range of users from 30 to 50+)
We would be particularly interested in anyone using Oracle in a VAX Cluster or
LAVC environment. It doesn't have to be in the UK.
(Any applications considered but Insurance market preferred)

Regards,
	Peter

49.1No After Image JournalingMGOS01::SITTETue Dec 01 1987 11:348

    Be careful to use ORACLE on a VAX Cluster. They are not able to
    do After Image Journaling in a Cluster. How would you recover ???

49.2VNASWS::GEROLDOne life down, eight to goTue Dec 01 1987 16:136
I just talked to an VMS-Oracle specialist and he told me that they
'recomend' using disk-shadowing in a cluster and no AI.

Isn't that fun ?

    disk-shadowing does not provide the entire 'recovery' features given
    by AIJ....AIJ can deal with 'logical errors' as a result of hardware
    or software errors where shadowing will only provide disk failure
    recovery.

49.4Good Luck!AUNTB::BOOTHA career of MISunderstandingTue Dec 15 1987 14:537
      Oracle generally discourages their customers from using VAXcluster
    systems with the product. They have very little in-house expertise
    on the VAXcluster technology. Consequently, support is minimal as
    well. The product is not designed to be optimum in a VAXcluster
    configuration.
      Try to alter your customer's decision if you can.
