I've just started working on the rac 10g lab(at my house). I've cleaned all of the oracle 9i stuff off, will let everyone know what happens(soon as i can get some more time to work on it, currently spending my free time studying to upgrade my ham radio license).

The "Cluster" files need to be on shared disk system that is physically connected to the instance servers - is this the case? Yes. Oracle RAC is so called "shared disk system" (in contrast to share-nothing systems), which means that it uses disks shared by two computers. Access to the disk is synchronized by DLM (= Distributed Lock Manager), which is a part of oracle RAC. Also, on Linux, oracle delivers the OS mechanism for two nodes to communicate over the private Ethernet connection.
If so, can someone recommend a scaleable bit of hardware (preferable Dell) that I can use with 2+ nodes to support the database files of the RAC.
He is a distinguished member of this group and he used to have a good web page at http://www.oracle-dba.com, but there is not much there these days.
I dunno about the exact HW specification, but Joe Testa once wrote that he was working on RAC.
If not, can someone please enlighten me. I specialized in enlightenment.
