Take a class, read a book, install it on a test system, test your application.
When you think you're done testing your application, test it some more. If
the app is that important, it's worth testing thoroughly.
Honestly (and not just because I am a consultant), you should seriously
consider hiring some consulting help for the initial implementation and
testing. Unless you've worked with RAC and Linux and large databases quite a
bit, building a system so that it meets your stated requirements will be very
difficult.
The other piece of advice I'd give you is to build your cluster on a supported
Linux platform. Red Hat Linux 9 is the free version that Oracle does not
support for any product. If you're building RAC, then you've already spent a
pretty significant amount of money on Oracle software, so you should be
willing to spend another $1000 to get Red Hat Enterprise Linux for your
cluster.
