Oracle RAC 11g

Road to Oracle RAC (as of 2014/11/7)


Way back in 2012 I was able to do this using Ubuntu 12.

It's time to do get back on track and practice once again Oracle RAC. I will try to document it in this blog.

Below is the simple structure of the whole system. It will be a two node Oracle RAC system.


Ubuntu 14.04
 -> LVM        (storage)
 -> NFS        (for shared installers)
 -> Apache/Http    (for yum DVD repo)
 -> SAN server    (iscsitarget)
 -> Xen
     -> Centos 5.6(32-bit)
       -> rac1
         -> SAN client    (iscsi-initiator-utils and multipath)
         -> Oracle 11g DB
         -> Oracle 11g GI
         -> ASM(on SAN)
         -> RAC
       -> rac2
         -> SAN client    (iscsi-initiator-utils and multipath)
         -> Oracle 11g DB
         -> Oracle 11g GI
         -> ASM(on SAN)
         -> RAC
