I finally got round to trying an NFS installation of 11gR2 RAC.
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 RAC On Linux Using NFS
No real surprises here. It all seems a little simpler when using NFS, but it was cronically slow on my crappy kit.

A couple of new articles have crept out recently. The first is me pretending to understand DNS.
DNS Configuration for the SCAN used with Oracle RAC Database 11g Release 2
I used this configuration in place of the “/etc/hosts” in my VMware RAC installation and it worked great.
The second is a brief romp through edition-based redefinition.
Edition Based [...]
I’ve taken my first tentative steps into 11gR2 RAC and it was a big surprise.
Oracle 11g Release 2 RAC On Linux Using VMware Server 2
11gR2 RAC feels very different to 11gR1 RAC. I can imagine quite a few people wanting to upgrade from 11gR1 thinking it will be trivial and getting a rude awakening…
The Grid [...]
I mentioned in a previous post I had taken the plunge and upgraded to VMware Server 2 on my laptop. Now I’ve also upgraded my main machine at home and it seems to be working fine. Probably the most complicated thing I run at home is a virtual RAC, so I wrote a new article [...]
It looks like those possible VMware ESX articles I mentioned yesterday are now on the VIOPS site.
10g RAC on RHEL4 using ESX Server and NFS
11g RAC on RHEL5 using ESX Server and NFS
If you’re interested in the enterprise VMware kit it’s worth taking a look at the site. New stuff is being added all [...]
I guess you would have to be in a coma to not notice that Oracle 11g is now out for Windows 32-bit.
To celebrate this release I’ve done an 11g RAC on Windows 2003 article, which is an update of my 10g RAC on Windows 2003 article. With both installations, if you get the networking stuff [...]

I think I’m finally getting myself back on track. It’s been an unusual few weeks though.
I spent quite some time complaining that I couldn’t think of anything to write about and hoping 11g would inspire me. Since the release of 11g and the inevitable installation articles, I’ve felt rather lethargic again. Getting into a new [...]
As a follow-on from my 10g RAC on NFS article, I thought it would be nice to have an 11g RAC on NFS article. The process is very similar, with a couple of exceptions:
The Virtual IP Configuration Assistant (vipca) runs in silent mode without any problems now. Under 10g, you had to use a “real” [...]
I’ve mentioned it before, but I really like Kevin Closson’s blog. For some time he’s been evangelizing about Oracle RAC over NFS, so I thought I would give it a go to see what it’s all about and here is the result.
Oracle 10g RAC On Linux Using NFS
I was only using two machines, and I [...]
I spent the Bank Holiday weekend playing with 10g RAC on Linux. I don’t have a FireWire disk, and I didn’t want to destroy my NAS, so I decided to user VMware Server to fake it. That process resulted in this:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) RAC Installation On CentOS 4 Using VMware Server
It’s got [...]
