11gR2 SCAN config with F5 load balancer
mikea64Jan 10 2011 — edited Apr 26 2011We are getting ready to set up our first RAC 2-node configuration. The hardware had already been purchased before deciding to go with 11gR2. Therefore, we have an F5 load balancer. The question is...can we use the IP address of the F5 in the /etc/hosts file as the SCAN IP address? Would this get us around the need to have a DNS configured SCAN host name?
Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
Mike
