9616.0. "Can you use DRD and DLM without going to OPS?" by MAIL1::GHAHRAMANI () Thu Apr 24 1997 18:28

    
    I have a customer who is considering going to TruCluster memory channel
    config from ASE.  Although it is an Oracle application, they do not
    plan to move to OPS for quite some time.
    
    They want to know if they can do the following:
    
    1. use DRD and DLM with memory channel without the OPS software.
    2. If they want to do ftp and TCP communications, will memory channel
    help speed communication?
    
    Is there alot of software development involved in getting the above to
    work without OPS.
    
    Forough

Yes they can...do they plan to code to the DLM apis?

The can use MC as a network interconnect between the nodes.

#1 is hard to understand what they want to do... so it is also hard
to comment on how easy or hard it might be.

#2 is easy.

    Eric,
    
    Thanks for the information.  I need to get more information from the
    customer regarding whether if they plan to code to the DLM APIs or not.
