No you don't need HMC to create a HACMP cluster.
A HMC is used to configure & manager logical partitions ( Splitting one server into two or more). Some of the generation of IBM boxes need HMC even if you only want one partition.
What are you hoping to acceive by using HACMP?
I would suggest you look at GPFS (Global File Parallel System)

Hello mrn,
many thanks for your answer. We are running a little oracle database on the server and we use it as the fileserver in parallel. Performance is not the problem (even with the H80)but we should not have service interuptions longer then 1 to 2 hours.

Stefan

In that case look at Oracle RAC & GPFS

A few links for you
This setup would allow you to use both servers at the same time (Using same data) and should one fail the other will keep running.
Using HACMP one server becomes a hot standby. (But from my experience takes a lot of management.)
