RE: RAC recomended books

I'd also recommend the book TruCluster Server Handbook co-authored by Jim Lola.  Doesn't cover RAC, but goes into a lot of detail on the Tru64 clustering side.  Jim really knows his stuff - I worked with him last year installing RAC at the company he works for in South San Francisco, and the Tru64 knowledge there is just outstanding.  Very close relationship with Digital / Compaq / HP / whatever the next company is.  Pete "Controlling developers is like herding cats."

Besides from that The O'Reilly Oracle Parallel Processing book is quite OK, but it repeats a lot of the info in the manuals. There happens to be a book called: Tru64 Unix Oracle9i CLuster quick reference (Digital Press) written by Tim Donar. It does a good job on the Tru64 specifics: Advfs, LSM and SAN part. Check out James Morle's Scaling Oracle8i: although 8i, it also contains good OPS info applicable to 9i too. Also Steve Adam's Oracle Internals has a very good (very 'dense', hard to read: it reads like there's enough info to fill a book crammed in 1 chapter..) part on OPS (7-8), but a lot is still very applicable.   Again: don't miss the manuals..   regards, Mario    -----Original Message----- From: Vladimir Barac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: donderdag 20 februari 2003 15:04 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RAC recomended books What books are "recomended reading" for RAC?   Especially Tru64 based RAC?   Beside paper books, are there any good web pages (beside metalink, of course) that are dealing with RAC?   Thanks, Vladimir Barac
