Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: 9i RAC or 10g RAC ?
I have not actually built out a RAC system, but keep in mind the
possible hidden costs...your 4x3 linux boxes will need to be tightly
coupled, both hardware and software, with fibre optic network
connections. Also be sure that your app supports the RAC environment.
Make sure you are "pure oracle" in your backup and recovery. Some third
party software, especially for systems backup and admin, will have
issues with RAC. Not that it can't be done, but that's still another
layer of complexity.

Subject: RE: 9i RAC or 10g RAC ?
Please advise if i am wrong, but I'm hoping that moving to RAC would = help improve performance because :=20
Our Solaris production box, which is 12 cpu 1200 mhz,24 gb ram is cpu = bound at peak working hours, and its lease ends in 3 months. Management does not want to spend money on a bigger Solaris box. So we = decided to purchase new linux boxes.
Since 12+ cpu linux boxes are very expensive, we have decided to go for
= 4cpu linux boxes featuring 2.2ghz Opteron cpu's on 9i or 10g rac, and
a = new san with faster disks.
rac is being used primarily because i want to link together these 3 or 4
= linux boxes. The combination of these factors, faster cpu's , faster
disks and bigger = ram should provide better performance, i hope ?
any advice is appreciated.=20
thanks & regards

I think it's:
When you have to go to RAC, everything gets a /lot/ more expensive--performance, availability, administration, licenses, ...everything--but it appears to beat having to go with a non-Oracle solution.

>From my experience, RAC performance is based on how well your
inter-connect can perform.=3D20
If it cannot handle the traffic then RAC performance will suffer.
Granted I had more then one database running on the servers, and the servers were older slower systems.
I remember somebody commenting on this list, if you want high performance, go single instance, if you want high availability, then go RAC. Darren

Better Performance is my main concern.=3D3D20
We intend to move our production database, which is currently 150 gig =
=3D =3D3D and is expected to grow to 500 gig in a year.
Business case for RAC is primarily $$ because Management wants to move =
=3D =3D3D all Solaris boxes to Redhat Linux. Our current Solaris box is
12cpu, and target is 3 or 4 4-cpu linux boxes =3D3D cluster running RAC.
That also would be our first step towards High Availability.
thanks & regards

What do you consider advantage? What is your business case for RAC? What do you plan to do with RAC? Stability of RAC on Linux is, from all that I hear, very good, for both versions.=3D3D20
