Words fail me
I just stumbled across this fine example of the art of writing news articles when you clearly don’t understand the subject. The article has a date of 2 days ago on the front page, though curiously a September 2009 date on the article. The article purports to discuss the omotion feature of Oracle Rac One-Node. My highlights from the news article
While details from Oracle are sketchy, it’s a safe bet that Omotion performs instance relocation is a fashion similar to it’s predecessors, Savantis Systems with their DB-Switch invention
Which I can’t help but read as “I don’t know how this works, but there is another product that sounds similar” and
For example, Oracle Omotion likely allows relocation to any OS with the same Endian format, including AIX, Linux, Solaris, or HP/UX.
The internet is a dangerous place folks, be careful out there.
