Hello Mladen, thanks for the clarification ... I will use the docs from the dizwell site because the Novell docs pointed to by Bryan are indeed for multi-machine SAN/NAS configurations. As for the hardware, I will use a PC with 2 processors, 2 GB RAM and 200 GB HD. This should be sufficient.

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.
