>>Most of Our servers are Compaq clustered servers, all of our foxpro stuff is there, and AFAIK, there are no major issues, and we started running on them like 3 or 4 years ago.
I do not think You'll have problems using RAID 5, but We used RAID 01, I think.
By the way, what I think the problem is that when the server goes down, and because Foxpro is not cluster-aware, running programs will lose network connectivity for a while (some seconds), enough to make foxpro running applications crash, so is not that useful in that aspect.
Summarizing, although you will not have any problems running on the clustered server, much of it's benefits are lost, if you are planning to use the server just for foxpro applications.
