Re: rac network question

Michael,

I see a huge problem and very likely a support issue as well. Basically what 
he's saying is that the host will have a *single* logical network interface. 
That *single* interface will need to serve as the private and public interface 
and that's where Oracle Support may have some major problems. 

If these blades only support 2 NICs (and you have no opportunities to expand 
them), then I'd elect to leave the redundancy aside and take a NIC failure as a 
whole node failure. Since the only other choice is to combine public and 
private networks over a single logical interface, removing redundancy so you 
have 2 separate logical/physical interfaces would be a favorable choice.

Our SA’s are just setting up some HP blades for
us for a rac and he sent me this below. Just wondering if anyone on the list
sees a problem.


 


“Also, since the c class blades have only 2
physical nics, we are going to trunk multiple vlans through the same bonded
interface.  Makes for a slightly weird setup; you may want to check it out
and play with it before this goes live.”
