I've said it before on this list and I'll say it again: If you want to try this out to see if/how RAC will work for you, spend the extra $300 on two Adaptec SCSI controllers and a SCSI drive. This will much closer emulate a production installation and you won't have to deal with firewire issues. Look at: http://www.bradmark.com/site/products/pdfs/9irac_config.pdf for the instructions. Ours was about $1100 because we went with Adaptec 29160LP controllers and a better HD. HTH! GL!

Just got an inquiry to setup a 10g db cluster and I have no idea where to being with. Actually, I think I'll start with Mr. Pucshitz site, but any BTDT would be very much appreciated. -- mohammed -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
