synonyms REGULAR, NORMAL, TYPICAL, NATURAL mean being of the sort or kind that is expected as usual, ordinary, or average.

I think you have confused yourself. First you said less than 5 nodes. Perhaps math is not a strong point for you, but 4 is less than 5.

If your experience is with 4 node clusters (yes I have seen a bunch of them), then you just corrected yourself.

Pending other statistics or information from oracle, from what I know and see the vast majority of rac installations are 2 or 4 node installs. Received on Thu Apr 21 2005 - 19:21:57 CDT
