Oracle 11.2.0.3 supported on Solaris 11??
DizwellFeb 25 2013 — edited Feb 27 2013I raised an SR 3 weeks ago, asking whether Enterprise Edition with RAC and Partitioning version 11.2.0.3 was supported on Solaris 11.1.
The conversation went like this:
ME: Is 11.2.0.3.0 Enterprise Edition RAC with partitioning supported on Solaris Sparc 11.1?
THEM: Please let us know whether you need Certification Information for Standalone(Single Instance) or RAC.
ME: I did specify in my original request. It's 11.2.0.3. Enterprise Edition **RAC**. With partitioning.
THEM: "Oracle Real Application Clusters 11.2.0.3.0 is *NOT* certified on Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit) 11.1"
ME: OK. But could you please provide me with the link to this, so I can read it for myself?
THEM: I just checked the Certification link which is available on the "My Oracle Support".
ME: Right, as I suspected. Solaris 11.1 isn't even mentioned on the Certification tab in MOS, so from that absence of evidence, you've merely assumed that the database isn't supported on that platform. It's an assumption I'm perfectly capable of making for myself. But given we pay a lot of money for proper support, how about giving me a serious, detailed and specific answer.
THEM: I 'll check with the certification team for details.
And shortly after that:
THEM: 11.2.0.3 Single Instance and RAC are supported on Solaris 11.1.
The certification team (whoever they are) went on to say "Applications certified on Solaris 11 is supported on Solaris 11 updates (Solaris 11.1+)".
My problem is that within the same SR, one Oracle employee has said "not supported", another quotes the 'certification team' as saying 'supported'. After 19 days of asking, I'm still basically left guessing which one is telling it like it actually is.
Anyone heard anything different, either way?
