Where I can find information about how to setup / install RAC on different platforms ?
There is a roadmap for implementing Real Application Clusters’ available at: A Smooth Transition to Real Application Clusters There are also Step-by-Step notes available for each platform available on the Metalink ‘Top Tech Docs’ for RAC: High Availability – Real Application Clusters Library Page Index Additional information can be found on OTN: http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/content.html –> ‘Oracle Real Application Clusters’ Is it possible to run RAC on logical partitions (i.e. LPARs) or virtual separate servers. Yes, it is possible. The E10K and other high end servers can be partitioned into domains of smaller sizes, each domain with its own CPU(s) and operating system. Each domain is effectively a virtual server. RAC can be run on cluster comprises of domains. The benefits of using this is similar to a regular cluster, any domain failure will have little effect on other domains. Besides, the management of the cluster may be easier since there is only one physical serve
