QUESTION POSED ON: 22 June 2004
Is it possible to implement Oracle9i Real Application Clusters (RAC) on Red Hat Linux 8.0. -- and if so, what are the steps to install it? Any links would be appreciated.

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
You can find an article on TechNet for setting up RAC on Linux using Firewire ("Build your own RAC cluster on Linux and FireWire"). I haven't tried to configure RAC on RedHat 8.0 and I would presume that it's possible, but it certainly isn't supported. The article uses Fedora Core 1 (which is free), so maybe you should give that a try.

Some other great resources for setting up Oracle on Linux are Werner Puchitz's Linux page at www.puschitz.com and OTN's Linux Technology Center at otn.oracle.com/linux.
