Joe, do you know Mike Ault? He might well be the person to talk to about
this. I think he's been doing some work in this area.

Joe,
I would be very interested in hearing how you go with this. Could you
feedback any information you get on RAC/linux back to the list please.
Thanks greatly.
Cheers,

I can't see why not, with a few caveats.
First, AS is effectively redhat 7.2 with a different kernel and a couple of

Nope this is just a large experiment, so we're going to try hacking it
together with the least amount spent as possible.
We're toying with openssi for our clustering, who knows how this will
end up :)
thanks for the input.

Oracle 9.2.0.2 RAC on RedHat 7.2 is "OK", but 7.2 has no support for CFS or
AIO (As I remember - it has been a while. I switched to AS 2.1, still on
raw devices, months ago.). It was in many respects the least problematic
combination, but is, of course, not officially supported.

I've just finished a test implementation for a paper I'm presenting at IOUG

Basically, I did an implementation on two Pentium II boxes running RedHat

the shared storage pieces. Since I was doing this on really
The NBD is a very interesting thing. Thanks for sharing that.

I'm a bitter, old, twisted man. And I feel like it when I read this thread.
Here's why.
A lot of good people are celebrating the fact that Oracle RAC can run on
a two-node Intel cluster with Linux on top. Very cost-efficient, they say.
Well, here's my small calculation:
1. Two 4-cpu Intel boxe
I believe it's meant for personal use:
1. two 1-cpu intel box: $1000
2. Linux: $0.50
3. Oracle RAC for free.

Uncle Larry is probably thinking, "Since you're saving so much money on the O/S and the hardware you have more to spend on Oracle so don't complain."
I'm actually hoping open source PostgreSQL/MySQL start to compete and force Oracle to low
There is a product on the market that dramatically
reduces the cost of RAc to almost nothing. Its
called:
LF ver 1.0
where LF = "license fraud". Of course, to get it, you
will need to send me a license fee for LF, plus
ongoing maintenance costs.

This is probably more realistic than many of us realize.
Linux and open source in general is seriously threatening MS.
PostGreSQL has been around for awhile, but mySql has much
more momentum than PGS ever had. I look for it to seriously
threaten Oracle in the future.
Maybe not at the high end,

hi,
When you want to apply patch for your db on linux, for example, 9202, it need the
hangcheck module. and this module need the redhat advanced server kernel, so if you do
your rac with rh8, Can you still apply the patch?
And it is beyond the support of oracle support, when you run into bug,
Dave,
Of course, upgrading the kernel on older versions is
not always a non-trivial exercise.
