Clustering on a C7000 Blade chassis

[chuckk281]

David needed some Oracle RAC help:

*******************

Does anybody have any documentation on setting up an Oracle RAC cluster on a C7000 chassis using BL460c G6 Blades? If not an Oracle RAC cluster any cluster would help as we’re very interested in how the cluster interconnects will be configured.

This environment will be non production and both nodes will be on the same C7000 chassis.

Environment contains:

2 x BL460c G6 Blades (within same chassis)

HP VC Flex-10 Enet Module in bay 1 and bay 2

HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module in bay 3 and bay 4

SAN storage from HP XP storage array (don’t have model detail)

RHEL 5 update 7

Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1

Veritas Cluster server 5.1

Oracle 11g

I assume we’ll take advantage of the internal stacking link between the Flex 10 modules for the heartbeat traffic. Is this just a matter of creating the VNET with no uplinks?
