Ah...you noticed my imprecise language....I'm the alternate DBA for this
system.  I don't normally work on RAC.  I'm talking about Node 1 kicking
Node 2 out of the cluster.

        You can use a zoned switch.  What is an "eviction" in your
terminology?

                We are having an argument with our CoLo facility over
the issue of a dedicated switch for our RAC interconnect.  We are saying
it's an Oracle requirement and Oracle does not support any other
configuration.  Of course, I can't find any Metalink source for that
requirement.   I can't think up any more wild combinations of search
terms that will bring me back any fewer than 10k docs.   Does anybody
have any reference for this "requirement?"   We are experiencing
periodic evictions from the cluster and wanted to eliminate network
issues from our considerations.
