However be warned that this is just for load balancing purposes and not for fail overs. If you are looking for a fail over at network card level, you may have to use appropriate OS bonding/teaming techniques and in your case IPMP is the way to go. -- Best Regards, K Gopalakrishnan Co-Author: Oracle Wait Interface, Oracle Press 2004 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/007222729X/ Author: Oracle Database 10g RAC Handbook, Oracle Press 2006 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/007146509X/
