Bill What I am referring is Metalink Doc 316583.1. where VIP uses calls to determine if IP address is valid or not and take IP address like 192.168.* or 10.10.*. as non-routable. and hence VIPCA is not invoked when we execute root.sh on first node. Anyway it is not error except that we have to run Vipca manually Tx Sanjay William Wagman <wjwagman@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Sanjay, You mention a bug due to IP addresses.

My concern is to get information about the Bonding and multipathing. I am searching for some information on Google and I appreciate if you have any link and advice on this setup.

Run vipca. Also, be sure and run cluvfy -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sanjay Mishra Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 11:03 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Oracle RAC private Interconnect It is recommended to use two Gigabit Switches for RAC Node Interconnect communication to provide Redundancy and performance. Is there any setup required on beside configuring two interface like eth1 and eth2 and then specifying them in RAC cluster installation PRIVATE Interconnect screen. I am just trying to understand that how the failover or redundancy is achieved if I unplug one of the Cable on one Node. Is it been configured by RAC clusterware or I had to tell something to sysadmin. Also how performance is achieved in using two Switches. I am currently having 10g RAC on sun SOlaris 10 with one Gigabit Switch for QA environment and planning for Production hardware requirements. Also If I use Oracle 10g ASM for Storage and RAW device for OCR and Voting Disk. I am using EMC with Two SAN switches and so 2HBA on each Node. Anybody has any doc for Multipathing with EMC. My concern is that both nodes see the RAW Device LUN as well as ASM luns as same and two HBA should provide the high availability when I will remove one of the HBA Thanks Sanjay --------------------------------- Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any attached files are confidential.
