We are a big AIX, Solaris shop ! After some meetings with the Oracle Sales guys, our managers have decided to move some of our RAC DBs to Oracle Linux.
Our Linux Admins (RHEL ) never configured machines for RAC before. They have only configured machines for App Servers before.
For the shared LUNs meant for ASM Diskgroups they have asked me how I want to have the LUNs to be ? Physical Volume, Logical Volume .. etc. They spoke about things like pvcreate, vgcreate.. etc.
Any idea how should the storage LUNs have to be presented to Linux RAC Nodes ?
