Greetings, In an attempt to get our RAC installations under control I am going to speak to management here and request that a RAC consultant be brought in to assist in proper configuration/setup and maintenance. If anyone can provide me references for a RAC consultant I would appreciate it. Preferably someone who can walk on water. Thanks.
