ServiceGuard and Oracle RAC compatibility

Rui Vilao — Mon, 06 Feb 2006 12:50:58 GMT

Greetings,

We are planning to install an Oracle 10gR2 RAC on HP Proliant servers (with Opteron dual-core processors) under RHEL 4.0.

We need to provide HA access to via SSH to an Oracle directory where oracle jobs will write some output file.

We are now planning to use ServiceGuard for Linux in oracle to provide a

Is it possible to ServiceGuard and Oracle RAC on the same node? Are there any compatibility issue?

Any help/suggestion is highly appreciated.

TIA.

Kind Regards,

Rui Vilao.

AFAIK, you can run Oracle RAC and Serviceguard on the same node, but IMHO should exist more elegant solution - I mean without Serviceguard.

Shalom,

Oracle RAC is also certified with Red Hat Clustering and GFS.

GFS lets you have two systems have simultaneous read/write access to the same file on the same filesystem.

This is an ability that SG for Linux does not have.

Oracle RAC and SG are a certified combination and should work correctly if normal installation and configuration procedures are used.

Note that if you used clustering on RH 3, things are very different with RH 4 clustering.
