I've read a couple of the books available on RAC: - Oracle9i RAC by Madhu Tumma and Mike Ault is decent, I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5. Good multi-platform coverage and decent coverage of the internals. The book suffers from poor layout/editing. The graphics look like they're photocopied and the text material seems a bit unstructured and is poorly indexed. The tuning chapter is also weak. - Oracle Real Application Clusters by Murali Vallath has a lot of generic Oracle DBA material and can might appear as an Oracle overview with RAC chapters added. I sent my copy back to Amazon. For some reason a this title have gotten a lot of good reviews on Amazon.
I've by far found Metalink the best source for RAC documentation.
