Just checked with our SA and I'd have to ask who your getting Red Hat from?  We 
get Red Hat AS for $800 per server.  The upside with Red Hat is that you don't 
need any other software to do a RAC install.

Subject: Linux SUSE for RAC SE? caveats?


Mgmt is buying a  Linux 10g SE Oracle license that comes with RAC - to save $$

The project needs 9.2.0.4 RAC, which I will have to install on SUSE Linux v8 (E 
or S) boxes - 2 boxes per cluster, 1 cluster, each box has 2  Pentium IV 2.4ghz 
CPUs.

I am trying to figure out if we need any Linux clustering component, ie at the 
OS level,  and what are the problems with installing 9.2.0.4 RAC SE on SUSE 
Linux.
I've been told that Red Hat is more expensive ($1500) than SUSE ($300) Linux 
and that's why we're not getting it!

Recently there was a discussion on the list about dbs on Linux but not about 
the RAC (SE) option. There was one post mentioning good results with  Red Hat 3 
and RAC but no  details on EE or SE (see below)

Thanks,

oracle 9.2.0.4 on redhat 3 should be ok, as I have a friend's site running
9204 rac on redhat 3 with heavy load, system has been up stable for nearly 1
month. They will soon expand to 4 node rac.
