The Dell Database Solutions Engineering team recently completed a reference paper describing the process to deploy Oracle 10g RAC database on Dell EqualLogic PS5000XV iSCSI storage.

Abstract

Using the knowledge gained through joint development, testing and support with Oracle®, this Dell Reference Configuration documents “best practices” that can help speed Oracle solution implementation and help simplify operations, improve performance and availability.
