[Linux-cluster] No storage cluster configuration

[Celso K. Webber]

Hello all,

Does anyone from Red Hat would tell me if Red Hat supports a no external 
storage environment when using RH Cluster Suite and DRDB for replicating 
data beetween cluster nodes?

When customers come to us arguing that IBM is offering SuSE Cluster 
solutions without the need of an external storage, we usually tell them 
to go on if they don't value their data. IBM on its turn tells that DRDB 
is stable enough for production, even when using Oracle database on top 
of it.

We have lost some projects because of this "magical solution" of using 
DRDB instead of an external storage, but we are still against deploying 
production cluster solutions using DRDB or similar solutions.

So, if we are certain that a DRDB (or similar solution) is supported by 
Red Hat when used in conjunction with RH Cluster Suite, maybe we could 
compete with those IBM + Novell SuSE solutions.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Celso.
