Thanks Sundar. As the Setup will be required for 20 people in the organization who might work in the group of 5 or so. So the environment will be rebuilt everytime. So friend i trying to check the NIC/HBA requirement mostly for RAC setup. I had never used VMWARE for such setup and so thought to check with the expert in the list. I good some idea on iscsi shared storage from yours and Alex comments. Crossover cables are not planned to be used in this setup to avoid any conflict. So any comments/link on good hardware specification which can be used to make the order easily. Thanks Sanjay ________________________________ From: sundar mahadevan <sundarmahadevan82_at_gmail.com> To: smishra_97_at_yahoo.com Cc: oracle-l_at_freelists.org Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 12:41:58 PM Subject: Re: Oracle Taining Hardware for 5+ people Hi Sanjay, I have 2 old pcs setup on my home RAC test environment. Both of them are 866 Mhz pentium 3 processors with 512 Mb RAM with two 10/100 Mbps PCI ETHERNET NICs. I use crossover cable between the nics for private interconnect. And for shared storage(a separate old hard disk) I use iscsi. My OS is OEL 5.3 Initially, I installed RAC with base version 9.2.0.4 and later patched it to 9.2.0.8 and then upgraded it to 10.1 With 512 MB RAM, thats the max I can go. 10.2 requires minimum of 1GB RAM. I'm the only user using the RAC, so you might have to plan the load for 5-10 users.
