Hi there, It is definitely possible to implement RAC on Oracle VM. It serves me really well in my test lab-I don't use any of the GUI tools they provide, I'm more a man of the command line. If you fancy something modern have a look at opensuse or SLES 11, which use a kernel > 2.6.18 which is now three years old. You might want to check my blog (URL is in the signature) for more information about xen based virtualisation.

To: "oracle_l" <Oracle-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi,lists We want to implement Oracle RAC in Oracle VM for testing purpose and maybe product ... I found from Oracle official site, we can download "Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) 11g Release 1 (x86 32-bit and 64-bit)" Oracle VM template, which means 11gR1 RAC is certified with Oracle VM, am I right? The question is, How about 11gR2? Is there anyone has implemented 11gR2 RAC in Oracle VM? BTW: What is the strategy for Oracle VM and Sun VirtualBox? If we want to choose a virtualization solution, which one is better? Any idea will be very appreciated. -- Kamus <kamusis@xxxxxxxxx> Visit my blog for more : http://www.dbform.com Join ACOUG: http://www.acoug.org -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
