QUESTION POSED ON: 29 November 2004
I would like to know what is the cheapest way to implement RAC for testing purposes. I have a Dell laptop that runs Red Hat Linux 9 with Oracle 9.2. I am interested implementing RAC and testing it myself. I have undergone training in Oracle RAC last year. I am thinking about how to implement it with the minimum hardware expense. Can you recommend or suggest how to go about it with least expensive method in mind? If you already implemented it, can you give me some guidance? Thank you for your help.
