Re: Question about RAC

Sorry I should have stated clearer.

Say we have server srv1 and srv2 a database called RAC in the shared storage and a instance rac1 in srv1 and rac2 in srv2, that is the usual implementation I have seen.

The customer wants this:

database RAC and CAR in shared storage

instance rac1 and car1 in srv1
instance rac2 and car2 in srv2

Obviously rac1 and rac2 forms RAC and car1 and car2 forms CAR. Not very logical in my opinion, seems like others think so.

TIA Alex
