Continentalclusters is a Hewlett-Packard high availability solution that
provides disaster tolerant clustering with no distance limitation. Version
A.05.00 of Continentalclusters, which contains enhancements and defect
fixes, is being released with the following product numbers:
• T2346BA license, media and documentation for HP-UX 11i v1 and
HP-UX 11i v2 (also known as HP-UX 11i v2 September 2004 update)
Version A.05.00 of Continentalclusters requires the HP-UX 11i v1 or
HP-UX 11i v2 operating systems. Continentalclusters version A.04.00 or
later will not automatically include the separately purchased products

Since Continentalclusters configurations may be complex to configure
and maintain, it is strongly recommended that you use
Hewlett-Packard’s high availability consulting services to ensure a
smooth installation and rollout. Please contact your HP representative to
inquire about high availability consulting. In addition, you should work
with your HP representative to ensure that you have the latest firmware
revisions for disk drives, disk controllers, LAN controllers, and other
hardware.
Starting with version A.04.00, Continentalclusters recovery supports
Oracle 9i RAC instances. Table 1-1 shows the Oracle RAC support
