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 ;-) Regards, Freek D'Hooge Uptime Oracle Database Administrator email: freek.dhooge@xxxxxxxxx tel +32(0)3 451 23 82 http://www.uptime.be disclaimer: www.uptime.be/disclaimer -- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Niall Litchfield Sent: dinsdag 27 juli 2010 11:45 To: ORACLE-L 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 -- Niall Litchfield Oracle DBA http://www.orawin.info -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
