Re: Oracle 10G RAC - crashes under load - consumes free mem
It makes sense that you need a Gb interconnect.
I was closely involved with early Oracle RAC work, albeit on Tru64 fro Digital/Compaq. We used a dedicated interface called "Memory Channel" (Reflective Memory) for micro-second measured latency and high bandwith. Great technical solution, but too expensive requireing dedicated hardware. At the some time our competition (in those days) at HP using HPUX were using hyperfabric (or what is that name again) and everyone was considering Infiniband
To consider an 100 mb lan as a viable alternative seems like a strech to me and I am surprised Oracle support/consulting let you go that route.
You see, the RAC interconnect is NOT just a 'I'm alive' heartbeat kind of thing. It is very active, with two flavors of activity:
- Many short lock messages
- Fewer large database page block ships (cache fusion!)
The lock essages would readily saturate 100mb/sec in packets/sec well before the mb/sec limit is reached.
The block shipping will push the MB/sec limits.
In the final days of Tru64 they even considered a hybrid: MC for locks, GB for data.
Hope this helps some,

Maybe this consultant was sure about puting redologs in RAID5...
Just a tought, :)

Re: Oracle 10G RAC - crashes under load - consumes free mem
I also had problems with Oracle RAC (on TRU64 cluster with Memory Channel interconnect).
Even cluster interconnect was best type, it was not the only problem.
After some time I saw that the main problem were applications. RAC is not good for all types of applications. It is good for many "short connections", not for applications causing large number of locks.
I spent a lot of time for OS tuning and DBA spent lots of time for database tuning.
But only application tuning did some good.
Once also had a test TRU64 cluster with RAC, but with gigabit ethernet cluster interconnect. Performance was much worse than with Memory Channel (latency problem).
From my experiance, gigabit ethernet is minimum for cluster interconnect.
As Hein said, it not just hardbeat.
