hi,
I am trying to setup a RAC database with two DELL 6650 and a disk array, with two eth card each node, one for public network and the other for heart beating message and sga data transfer. I have two questions:
1. For oracle ceritified combinations, there should be 2 gigabytes

network card and one fiber channel switch , which is used to transfer sga data between instances. In my case, i do not have more than 2 nodes, so i directly interconnect the two nodes with general network line, is it ok to let it work with the cache fusion?

2. I am using redhat advanced server, and i am not familier with this

product. In my default installation, there is no LVM manager. I read several document talking about install RAC on linux, all using LVM manager. So, shall i use logical volumn manager, or directly use raw partitions?

Thanks for your advice.
Good luck.
