Veritas Storage foundation for Oracle RAC and Oracle RAC set up
Hi Team,
COuld you please help to understand the below points,
a) Difference between Storage foundation for Oracle RAC and Oracle RAC set up.
how we can define customers which one is the best for the production environment for their Business.
b) What is SFCFSHA > Is it a active active cluster setup?
PLease help to understand the concept.
Oracle RAC is an Oracle database application which runs multiple db instances against one database simultaneously utilising CPU power on multiple machines.
Veritas Storage Foundation for RAC has a lot of features in it to improve application (RAC) manageability, resource monitoring and control, load balance over inter-node network connections and high availability for NICs used for private network, IO fencing, dmp multipathing and IO load balance, file system snapshot, cluster file systems, db/web application HA etc.
So my reconnendation is whenever possible, install both Oracele RAC and Storage Foundation for RAC.with sufficient memory and high performance sub-disk systems etc.
Technically Oracle RAC is a must for database application and Storage Foundation for RAC is recommended.
Regards,
Frank
