[rds-users] RDS support status

[Richard Frank]

RDS in OFED 1.2.5 is in the final stages of certification with Oracle 11g.

We expect this to complete shortly.

Once certified; RDS as a solution with RAC will be available from Oracle 
partners which have completed an additional validation test (OAST via 
OCE on 4 node cluster with RDS) for their respective platform.

We will post a note to this forum as partner solutions are validated.
