Re: oracle parallel server & NCR DLM

Get a copy of NCR's internal HACMP and Informix report, it'll give you how this can be achieved using NCR's sofwtare Paul Watson WF Software Ltd Tel: +44 1436 674729 Fax: +44 1436 678729 www.wfsoftware.com/informix # If you broke it, hide the evidence >>> <amgad@starnet.com.eg> 11/11/99 11:35AM >>> Dear Colleagues, I have been asked this question and I wish that someone can help me to answer it. There are two NCR machines that are sharing a RAID and grouped togather as a cluster. Each of the two machines will have a DBMS running on it. The two DBMSs will work at the same time, but during any faluires, one of the them (the surviving one) will carry both loads. The person who asked me this question said that this can be accomplished in Oracle using Oracle parallel server,and NCR DLM (Distributed Lock Manager). Is there an Informix eqivalent? Is XPS is a valid choice here? I know that XPS does not support data replication? Can XPS work on servers that are not MPP (Massive Parallel Processors) machines. What other Informix solution we might look into. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Amgad Al-Sisi Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
