The firewire disk setup is very well explained here:
should have the conf up and running within a couple of days.
I need a six pin to six pin cable though:

Oracle RAC instructor... They offered a class in Florida a few weeks =
back, I
hear they had that set up with two PCs (I assume Dells) and external =
disks
but I don't have any more info.
Sounds like a great way to learn the product.
The type of drive you use is important for the firewire setup, I read somewhere that not all drives can be recognized.
Patrice.

recommendations?
recently I also test firewire hard disk with AS 2.1
and 3.0. I still have problem to make it work. I
follow documents on=20
http://www.puschitz.com/ and still can NOT make
firewire hard disk recognize by redhat. I did discuss
with ORACLE RAC instructor and he told me use SCSI
external disk instead of Firewire. He said SCSI disk
far more stable than IDE (firewire). he said "ORACLE
LINUX/RAC" course also use SCSI disk wirh United LINUX
(will change to redhat AS3.0 soon).
My problem are:
Can you tell me how cah you make 2.4.21-20 work without use ORACLE driver?
Thanks.
