A. The software requirements for the HA configurations include:
●
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 and Red Hat Cluster Suite
●
Cisco Prime Optical 9.8 including Oracle Active Data Guard (ADG)
Q. What are the options for Oracle licenses?
A. An Oracle license is embedded in the Cisco Prime Optical licenses. However, if you would like to access the
management SATA directly from the Oracle database, you must own and license the Oracle database. In this
case you can pay Oracle based on the number of CPUs installed in your system or based on the number of
named users. The Cisco Prime Optical 9.8 Installation Guide found at
the number of named users required. Full Oracle licensing is required for the primary Sun server; no additional
Oracle licenses are required for the secondary Sun server. An Oracle sales representative can offer the best
advice on exact licensing fees, based on your hardware configuration.
Q. Is Sun Cluster Server or Oracle Parallel Server part of the HA solution?
A. No. There are a variety of ways that HA can be deployed using a multitude of vendor software and hardware.
The goal is to provide customers with an architecture that has been tested using Cisco Prime Optical HA
Agent 3.0. Veritas was selected because it is a leading software HA solution integrator and uses best-in-class
Sun hardware and Oracle Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
