Difference between SCAN and VIP in RAC ??

Mohanad AwadOct 23 2013 — edited Oct 24 2013

Hello ,


  1- Can you help me to understand SCAN IP's which use by ORACLE-BASE VMware installion :

Http://Www.Oracle-Base.Com/Articles/11g/Oracle-Db-11gr2-Rac-Installation-On-Oel5-Using-Virtualbox.Php#Create_Shared_Disks

  It dose not clear for me why they use three different IP's

----------------------------------------

  If you are not using DNS, the "/etc/hosts" file must contain the following information.


  127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

  # Public

  192.168.0.101 ol5-112-rac1.localdomain ol5-112-rac1

  192.168.0.102 ol5-112-rac2.localdomain ol5-112-rac2

  # Private

  192.168.1.101 ol5-112-rac1-priv.localdomain ol5-112-rac1-priv

  192.168.1.102 ol5-112-rac2-priv.localdomain ol5-112-rac2-priv

  # Virtual

  192.168.0.103 ol5-112-rac1-vip.localdomain ol5-112-rac1-vip

  192.168.0.104 ol5-112-rac2-vip.localdomain ol5-112-rac2-vip

  # SCAN

  192.168.0.105 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan

  192.168.0.106 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan

  192.168.0.107 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan

----------------------------------------

  * My Q Is Round-Robin DNS Is Between Vip So Why They Use Different Ip Than Vip ? and must i put scan ip on /etc/hosts ?

  2- Can I Install Oracle 11g.R2 Rac Without Using Scan Ip , If I Did Not Have DNS . I Just Put One Scan_Ip On /Etc/Hosts. So It Will Work Without Issue ?

  And It Will Work As 11G.R1?

  - i test to install oracle rac on vmware with one ip scan and it work without using Round-Robin DNS and without any configuration for scan ip . i just put it on /etc/hosts

  3- Can anyone how to configure scan IP as Round-Robin DNS ?

  Thanks.
