Re: [suse-oracle] SUSE Clustering, Oracle and SAP

no, linux clustering is included into the base version of SLES and can be 
added into any opensuse easily,. It dont require any licensing. Tbere are (I 
am not sure about suse) packaging which includes clustering etc but they are 
just _packaging_ (such as redhat cluster solution).
We use clusters in opensuse and centos all the time around (adding few rpm-s 
from separate crm / pacemaker project).
