Hello Bryan, I'd like to be a RAC guy ... ;-) ... but, to get there I have the strong urge to do some testing and education first. So I need a cheap testing environment and not some highly sophisticated solution with 2 or more machines and some sort of SAN/NAS device in the background. What I'm looking for is a simple how-to document such as metalink note no. 241114.1, which is for a RAC setup on a single node using 9.2.0.3.

The guides on this site should help with the OS part of the installation. I do not care about single node installations, I'm only a RAC guy;) Bryan http://www.perftuning.com -----Original Message----- From: Mladen Gogala [mailto:gogala@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 9:20 AM To: bthomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Markus.Kuehn@xxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: 10gR2 RAC on single SLES9 node On 04/05/2006 08:54:19 AM, Bryan Thomas wrote: > Markus, > > I've installed 10gR2 on SLES 9. > > Here is a link to some guides I used. > > http://ftp.novell.com/partners/oracle/docs/ > > > Bryan > He was asking about RAC, not a trivial single node installation. Instructions how to create a split personality disorder on a single PC are on Dizwell site, writen by Amit Poddar: http://www.dizwell.com/oracle/articles/rac10glin.htm The article itself is rather old, as it refers to 2.4 linux kernels but can still be used. Of course, having PC large enough for ASM and 2 instances is more expensive then having 2 normal machines and a shared storage (not AmberWire, it's soooo sloooow). -- Mladen Gogala http://www.mgogala.com Die LBS Baden-Württemberg verwendet aktuelle Virenschutzprogramme.
