Oracle 9205 RAC
RHEL3ES
We have; 2.4.21-4.ELsmp and want/need to upgrade to 2.4.21-15; "15".
OK Metalink says;
Requirements for Installing Oracle 9iR2 on RHEL3
...
* Linux kernel version would be 2.4.21-4.EL
But no mention of "maximum" (minimum is implied).
I have looked in my own notes/docs, more on Metalink and further on OTN, but
nothing on "maximum kernel for Oracle 9iR2".
(I do not have the original installation guide...looking for it now).
Also I run OCFS and appears under the current OCFS version we max out on/for
kernel "2.4.21-15"...so we will not go higher (right now).
Finally, what makes the "Hugmem kernel" different than "SMP kernel" and should
I care?
Only ever run "Uniprocessor" and "SMP" kernels.
Thanks,

<OTN COMPLAINT>
Anyone notice how OTN is full off 10g help/docs but seems to have left all 9i
DBA's in the cold!
Would be nice to be able to reference without upgrading.
