Ever tried to look at the Oracle Install and Upgrade guide on Oracle Technet ?

Re: Hardware for Oracle Database

I will still go for a PA-RISC based HP-UX system:

2 x rp7410's (Fully Loaded...)

And for storage:
HDS Storage (aka HP XP 512/1024)

And for storage Management:

Veritas Database Edition or whatever product they now have that supports Oracle9i RAC.

Re: Hardware for Oracle Database

I would recommmend the latest Ultrium Tape drives for backup and recovery. We have Ultrium 230 external drives with 200 GB tape capacity. The 4xx series ultrium drives supposedly hold twice as much on a tape and cost around $5,000 per drive. These are SCSI LVD devices and you'll need that type of card in the box.

You might be able to get away with high end rp54x0 server technology, that depends on your transaction volume. Remember, Oracle licenses are $40,000 per CPU so you are probably better off with less CPU's that do more. rp74x0 series servers, 2 processor minimum, 8-16 GB of RAM.

If you can go all HP with your disk solution, you should get Tachyon PCI fiber cards, two of them so you can set up for failover.
