RE: Hardware for RAC?

Yes, you can use nodes from different OEM vendors for RAC. You will for sure need a private network or interconnect between the nodes for maintaining the heart-beat.   HTH Chandra         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ikediugwu, Chinedu SITI-ITPSIE Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 7:00 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Hardware for RAC?   Hello,   I have been asked to setup a test environment for RAC. However, I don't know so much about hardware.     My questions may appear dumb, please take no offence, I'm a beginning DBA and I really want to know.   1. Can I use 2 nodes of different makes (one IBM and one Compaq), but using same Oracle and OS versions (9.2.0.4 & Linux respectively)? 2. Can I set RAC up, using only the public network?   Thanks in advance   Regards Chinedu
