Network configuration setup for Oracle RAC using sgerac

[Sudheerkumar Kakkat]

We are testing 10gRAC installation on HP-UX PA-RISC using SGeRAC.We had already configured mc/sg and packages for RAC.But we have only 2 network adaptors in each server.During VIP configuration on CRS installation we have encounter some erros for network interface.Could you Please help us to configure network setup for rac implementation using 2 adaptors

Hi,

When you have only two interfaces card by server the only problem that you will find is that you won't have a lan failover.
To configure LAN with this two NICs is simply:
1. one lan for client connection, in this interface you will have a stationary ip address + VIP IP address -> normally a floating ip that SGeRAC will handle
2. one lan for oracle CacheFusion

Please check this document:
"Architecture Considerations and Best Practices for Architecting an Oracle 10g R2 RAC Solution with Serviceguard and SGeRAC, November 2006" which is located in the Whitepapers section of this webpage:

It discusses network requirements for 10gR2 with SGeRAC.
