hi all, we're still in the evaluation stage of whether to go with Ocfs2 or Red Hat's GFS cluster operating systems for Oracle 10gR2 on RHEL4. the documentation for Ocfs2 is very, very minimal (is there anything more available than just the user's guide and the faq on the http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/ page?), so i'm a little fuzzy on the possible configurations for it. we're currently running a 2-node Oracle 9.2.0.7 RAC cluster on a tru64 OS and are wanting to move to a RHEL 2-node cluster RAC environment.
so my question is - does Ocfs2 allow for a 2-node cluster, since we would like to stick with that number of nodes? if one of the nodes dies, will the other node be able to detect this and keep running stand-alone until the dead node reboots, etc.? also, does Ocfs2 require a 3rd machine to administer the nodes, or can the 2 nodes each be used to administer the entire cluster? sorry, i have VERY little experience with cluster operating systems, so i apologize in advance for the newbie language used to ask the above questions! please let me know if you need further info or if what i'm asking makes no sense! also thanks for any input you have!
