Anyone knows?
Thank you

Look on http://www.oracle.com/technology/sup...ink/index.html

9iR2 and 10gR1 are already certified for Solaris 10 according to that (with
certain conditions).

This says that 10g EE certification for Sol10 on x64 is "planned for r2" -
does this mean that all features, esp. full grid support - that would be
ASM and RAC together if I manage to follow the discussions here
sufficiently so far, wouldn't it?

That would be great news for me because I had almost given up on
fighting Linux/Intel.

Once again: I'm a sysadmin and not a DBA, so please excuse me while I'm
getting used to the terminology.

--- that's the basic, purely Ora related part, I'd be grateful if you
also could find time for the rest ---

Reason for me asking: I'm feeling a heavy spin with this customer towards
RHEL, which won't get me out of work - I can manage RHEL too - but
rather I fear that it will put me into too much work:

Note before you read the rest: If you think that I am honest-to-god stupid
and wrong here (other than "lololol Solaris sux Linux rulez u n00b"),
please by any means tell me how and why, I want to sell good services to
my customers.

I don't want to start a holy war here, but my spam filter is good enough
that I can say that I think the Linux kernel and the software around it
is mostly of inferior quality to the Solaris system, and with Solaris
Release 10 it is slower (and, considering RHEL, more expensive) too.
What's better in GNU is available for Solaris anyway.

The main reason people want to run Linux/Intel servers IMO is that they
see that it runs on more (mostly crap) hardware that shouldn't be in
servers anyway.

So I want to show them that there is no real reason to go to RHEL on
crappo IA32 (worst case) or EM64T (the best case) hardware (the
rationalisations were "but Linux is free" and "but Oracle won't certify
RAC on Sol10/x64"), because I hate it when people I contract with shoot
themselves in the foot, even if it means more hours I can sell.

lg, Bernd

Well you might have started the war anyway ...

Most of us hanging out here have lots of experience on solaris and/or
hpux.

Oracle runs very nicely in these environments ... in general.

Linux does seem to be rolling ... but not anywhere close to me yet. It
is improving a lot and ibm and oracle and others are funding a lot of
work to improve it.

Oracle will continue to support oracle on solaris and that now means
all the different flavors including solaris on intel/amd. Oracle has
been pretty wishy washy on the intel/amd platform ... now you see it
now you don't.

Hopefully that will not change anymore ... time will tell.
