Don Granaman£¬ I write to dell and they said: ////////////////////////////////////// We are working on a certified configuration of Oracle 9iRAC - Release 2 on RH Advanced Server on the 6650 platforms. This certified configuration will be available soon. I have cc'ed our Product Marketing Manager, Nicolas Pujol and Stan Nguyen, our Marketing Manager in Dell-Asia, so that they can provide you with more information. ////////////////////// I have another thread open in dbforums:http://dbforums.com/t432663.html, you can take a look there. Redhat Advanced Server seems to be a good choice, but it seems need seperate license, even if we do not buy the technical support, right?
>3) RAC on Dell/RedHat is headed for production "soon", but no production >experience yet. I'm still working out the basic cluster quirks - like why >softdog wants to reboot the nodes several times per week! (The most recent, >about 48 hours ago, was because nts hiccuped and the clocks on the two nodes >got about 1/2 hour out of synch.) We currently have a ops on Suse Linux cluster, and now it seems ok, we rebooted it after it run 60 days. In the beginning, it rebooted every one week also, after i distribute the work load to the two machine, it seems much more stable. Nice that we can communicate on the same configuratoin:) >Don Granaman >[OraSaurus] > >----- Original Message ----- >To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 9:28 AM > > > hi, dbas: >We plan to setup a new database on a Linux Cluster, using Oracle 9i RAC >release 2, with Dell PC Servers (4CPU, 4G memory), to store our online >history data and provide read only service and some other misc applications. >So, what i care is: >1.
