The NBD is a very interesting thing. Thanks for sharing that. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 12:19 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
I've just finished a test implementation for a paper I'm presenting at IOUG this spring. Basically, I did an implementation on two Pentium II boxes running RedHat 7.2. It's not too tough to install, but the real problem is figuring out the shared storage pieces. Since I was doing this on really low-end hardware, I wound up doing the shared storage using NBD's over TCP/IP, which got around the issues. The two docs that help best are the Implementing RAC on Linux doc on Metalink and a document on using NBD's for RAC that can be found at http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kripac/orac-nbd/. I haven't finished my paper yet, but when it's done I'd be happy to forward it along to you. If you are going to try this out in a 7.2 environment, drop me an email, and I'll be happy to share the experiences I had. --Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian J.

Now to the oracle stuff, We're having new requirements by multiple clients to ask about RAC(not necessarily on linux), so a couple of us thought, we'd try to implement it on a few linux servers, as an experiment to see how its done, etc. I'd really not purchase RH advanced Server 2.1 and just try it on rh 8.0, is this even possible?, I've got like no experience on the clustering side of operating systems. I've searched the OTN, oracle and RH sites to not much luck. Anyone tried this on non RH AS 2.1 and just used regular RH 8.0 and if so are you willing to share the good/bad and otherwise of your luck with it? If there is something I missed in the docs on what I need to do to make it happen, point me that way and I'll be glad to read up on it. thanks, joe -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Joe Testa INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
