A RAC setup will need the following elements:
. External storage device to hold database files and present the
same LUNs to the RAC servers. This can be quite costly if you don't have a
SAN/NAS in place.
. Storage network - Fiber Channel for SAN or Ethernet for NFS/ISCSI.
. Public network for the servers to talk to users.
. Redundant interconnect network - if this network fails node will
crash themselves.
. Servers with the CPU and memory sizing you determine, public NICs,
interconnect NICs, HBAs if you're using SAN storage or storage NICs if your
using NFS/ISCSI.
Your hardware vendor could supply the pricing for these elements. The
pricing varies according to your companies' bargaining power.

Subject: RAC h/w basic costs
Hello All,
We are planning to move to RAC from single node database, as a start we want
to migrate to 2 node RAC and ASM. Management asked us to present basic
starting costs involved so that it helps in the decision making process. We
already have some servers in place, we might require SAN, HBAs and hardware
for constituting interconnect(NICs/Switches etc) . I am not sure where to
start, It would be great if anyone had similar experiences and can share
accross. We have evaluated Oracle licensing costs, am only looking for the
above said h/w costs. Below are details of our environment, I can provide
more details if required.
Database version: 11.2
Size: 500G
OS: RHEL 4
Servers: Dell servers with 2 Xeon Quad core CPUs.
Type: R12 ERP database
Thanks in advance,
Venkat.
