Well, last I knew, under HP 11.0, you had to unmount filesystems to extend
them. Or was it 10.0 ?
What they make up for in support "ease", they'll loose in performance.

Subject: AIX vs SUN - HP - Linux
Hi all;
Current Environment:
SP 9076 - 1 Frame, 7 Nodes
AIX 433 ML10
PSSP 32
IBM 3494 (w/ 2 3590 drives)
TSM 415 (soon to be 5x)
TDP/Oracle and RMAN
Oracle 816, 817, 9i
Apache ??
Netscape ??
And a whole slew of homemade Apps made in whatever product happened to be
hot that particular month.
I just received word this morning that management is now considering
moving OFF of AIX and onto either HP, SUN, or LINUX...and basically I need
to study the pro's/con's of each vendor for a meeting later this week. So
if anyone has any websites or personal experiences with any of these other
OS's I'd really appreciate any feedback.
For example how would you rate each vendor's ease of administration for
the oprating system and hardware, overall support, performance and
reliability, or anything else you could think of.
As for what is driving the "potential change", I guess the
DBA's/Developers are frusterated that AIX is considered a 5th tier
platform by Oracle (Sun being #1) and as they have so much invested in
Oracle...we need to evaluate other hardware. ;)
God I love this job!
Thanks for the feedback;
Theresa
