Extend that question into the realm of 'grid' computing. RAC requires a
heterogeneous environment within the cluster. This means
that a RAC cluster is not really grid friendly. It is only able to 'shift'
processing requirements within itself and cannot take
advantage of that underutilized server sitting next to it in the data center. I
asked this question of an Oracle employee recently
and the response was that RAC does indeed fit into Oracle's grid strategy, but
there are not any plans to enable a homogenous RAC
system. Am I missing something?
