Hello list,
We are currently on Xe SP23_Q1, on windows 2003 servers (1 oracle database server, version 10.2.0.3, 3 entreprise servers, and 2 jas servers - with websphere 6 -), and we're about to change.
We want to upgrade to Oracle 11g 64bits, using RAC option.
Our first choice was to stay on wintel platform, and to install Oracle RAC on windows 2008R2 server.
Unfortunately :
Oracle 11g R2 with RAC option doesn't work on Windows 2008 (there has been a known issue for 6 months without any solution so far), and 11g R1 with RAC option is not stable enough (it works, but there are issues during stop/restart process, and it ofen needs to manually try several times).
So we have the options :
- install RAC on Windows 2003 64 bits, but windows 2k3 is not supported anymore (by microsoft, and as a consequence is not in JDE MTR anymore)
- Install RAC on the Oracle Linux. But it's not supported as it's not in MTR.
According to you, what would be the best option ?
Does anyone use, or already install or saw some Oracle/linux database with Xe ? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot folks.
Regards,
