Yes. You'll need either Sun Cluster 3.0+, Veritas CFS, or something equivalent.  

The XIOTech shouldn't have a problem with it, given that it has available connections for you to use.  

Also, be sure to check the Sun's certification matrix to be absolutely sure that you are getting a hardware configuration that Sun will give you support on. I wouldn't take Oracle or XIOTech's word on it. get a yes/no answer directly from Sun.

Seems we are getting a killer deal for purchasing RAC with Oracle9i.  

We currently have purchased (2) SunFire 280 (Soalris) that will have a SAN connection to our Xiotech machine.  

My question is do we need to purchase a clustering file system solution to run RAC? ie. Veritas cluster filesystem? If so, what else may need to be purchased?  

Our Xiotech is shared with other applications, will this be a problem if implementing a RAC solution on it?    

Thanks in advance.
