Using Reliable Datagram Sockets Over InfiniBand for Oracle Database 10g Clusters
By Zafar Mahmood, Anthony Fernandez, Gunnar K. Gunnarson
Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) Over InfiniBand can provide a horizontally scalable, high-performance alternative to traditional vertical scaling for enterprises using Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). This article discusses the advantages of using RDS Over InfiniBand to build scalable, high-performance Oracle RAC clusters with cost-effective, industry-standard Dell and QLogic components.

toby.henderson Oracle 11g implementation 1 Dec 8 2008, 11:03 AM EST by toby.henderson

Hi all

We are about to implement Oracle 11g on a couple of PE2950's and an MD1000. One 2950+MD1000 for production, and the other 2950 for warm standby (Data Guard).

I have 2 internal 146Gb disks (SAS 15k rpm) in the production box and 8 x 146Gb disks in the MD1000, connected via a Perc 6/e card. I am mirroring the internal disks and configuring the MD1000 disks as RAID 10. I also have 2 separate mirrored 73Gb disks in the MD1000 for redo as I've been advised to keep it separate.

Please can someone advise me on what considerations I should make for the following settings when configuring the RAID 10.

- Stripe element size
- Read policy
- Write policy

Our database isn't that large (around 100gb) and we aren't using ASM.

Anything I forgot?!

Many thanks
Toby

ferrism Oracle CRS failure 2 Feb 12 2008, 3:22 AM EST by bahadirk

We are running a QA Oracle RAC on Red hat in two Dell 2950s. One the the clusters randomly reboots. In checking the messages file, I get:

Jan 8 20:47:00 quebecC2 logger: Oracle CSSD failure 134.
Jan 8 20:47:00 quebecC2 logger: Oracle CRS failure. Rebooting for cluster integrity.

The system comes backup fine and there is no interruption of service. But this is a bit disquieting. We are also running a production version with the same configuration of RAC and there has not been any trouble.

I called Dell just to see if there was a hardware issue and they said everything looked fine.

Any information regarding this problem would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
