RAC vs physical Cluster question
So, we are running into various issues with our app servers not being able to support TAF on RAC. One way we've (slightly) mitigated the problem is by pointing app servers to individual instances instead of the database service.
The question I keep coming up with though is -- would we still have the same problem if the database was placed on a hardware cluster? Also, is that even a supported configuration for the database? Seems to me that the hardware cluster would act like a single instance database and therefore you wouldn't have the issue with TAF that you have in RAC.
Am I completely off in my logic?
...and is Oracle even supported on a physical cluster (such as Redhat Cluster)?
Any thoughts or comments would be great!
