Oracle Database 10g Release 2 With Real Application Clusters Installation With SUSE Enterprise Linux 10 and NetApp Storage

This technical report covers the installation of NetApp storage in a Network File System (NFS) environment for SUSE 10 Enterprise Linux. The servers are running SUSE10, 32-bit operating system. The database is Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Real Application Clusters (Oracle10gR2 RAC) with Oracle Cluster Ready Services (Oracle CRS). This is now a certified configuration and therefore the components presented in this paper must be used in the same combination to gain support from all parties involved. The only exception to this is the application of certain patches, as defined and required by all the vendors in this configuration. This paper also covers the patches and recommendations for running Oracle10gR2 RAC on NetApp storage in an NFS environment.
