[Ocfs2-users] mixed environment / why is setting up an oracle cluster on windows so hard?

[Saar Maoz]

Nicola,

I missed the fact that you are using Windows XP. That's not a server 
edition, so I wouldn't be surprised if you run into strange issues while 
attemping a RAC install on it.  Oracle and specifically RAC goes through a 
lot of effort to certify products against Enterprise/Server releases of 
the OS's. Try Windows 2000, 2003, etc. as per the RAC requirements.

Regarding mixed OS's in the same cluster, that is not supported and will 
not work.

Enjoy,

Saar.
