Hello We are running into some major walls trying to configure and use AIX 5.3 and Informix v10 with HACMP clustering and Informix HDR. AIX looks to be very behind the times, as does the clustering piece. This is for an intended migration of the main "cash cow" application. Does anyone run their "important stuff" on AIX ? I have been researching and most of what I see is people using AIX from years back or they only use AIX for smaller apps that they don't have great concerns being down. Comments, Suggestions, Rants or Raves? Thanks much.

Been running IDS 9.4 on AIX 5.3 for 11 months. O/S has been non-stop apart from a maintenance level upgrade and a physical rack re-location. IDS has been non-stop for the last 124 days and has only had a couple of minor config changes in the past 11 months. Runs a 24 x 7 application with 700 plus sessions with no problems. Admittedly no HACMP or partitions but we are using ER on a significant volume of data. This is basically the only app in the company and it does everything for us !! Touch wood I have no issues and no reason to doubt it will still be running like this in 3 years time !!

Personally, I think AIX tin is very good. I can't comment on HACMP, other than that I've never met anyone who used ANY clustering software (HACMP, Sun, Veritas, Compaq) who didn't prefer HDR. -- Bye now, Obnoxio "... no bill is required as no value was provided." -- Christine Normile -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.
