Re: What is the minium hardware for a clusters system

Hi!

I think you cannot connect two controllers (servers) to a simple SCSI disk you have to have external controller in disk array for that.

If you want RAC for testing and playing aroung only, you could go with:

1. firewire controllers and external firewire disks (on linux)
2. use one of the servers (or additional server) for networked disk storage using NBD (network block device, again on unixes)
3. start several RAC instances in one server

Tanel.
