A customer asked this question about Oracle Linux support. When Oracle Linux installed on OracleVM, on an ODA: is this support per VM, or per physical server (in this case the ODA-node). Could be quite a difference in paying and getting support.

My RAC project with Openfiler, part II – grid infrastructure and database

by admin | Jan 24, 2011 | Database, RAC

This is the second post of my little project of building my own RAC on my Windows7-desktop (64-bits, 8GB RAM), using 3 VM’s (VM-workstation , 7.1.3 build-324285) :

2 VM’s for two RAC-nodes, based on OEL 5.5, 11.2.0.2 for infra, and database.
1 VM as my own SAN, based on Openfiler 2.3 (free), for ASM.

My goal: just a little bit hands-on experience with Openfiler, and do some testing with RAC 11gr2, and especially 11.2.0.2. Maybe it’s helpful for somebody else, so I’ll post my experiences. Steps I’m gonna perform.

– The first post handled the following:

1. Planning my installation

2. Create a VM with OpenFiler

3. Configure Openfiler

– The second post (this post):

4. Create a VM as node rac1 and configure ASM

5. Create a VM as node rac2

6. Install Oracle RAC Infrastructure

7. Install Oracle RAC software

8. Install Oracle RAC database
