Niall,

I have done some investigations for a client who wants to change the domain 
name of the servers, and it seems to me that the Oracle (11gR2) is only using 
the short name in its configurations.
So no, I don't see any reason why not.

But we have not yet made the change, so I can't give you 100% guarantee
Also, the configuration was a normal RAC, not one of those fancy GNS setups  ;-)

Subject: 11GR2 RAC /etc/hosts

Can anyone think of a reason *not* to have the FQDN of a Linux 11GR2 host in 
it's /etc/hosts file. eg 
10.10.10.10 hostname.domain hostname 
instead of 
10.10.10.10 hostname
