Step-By-Step CookBook Installation of RAC 10gR2 on IBM xSeries Windows 2003
628913Aug 28 2008 — edited Sep 9 2008Dear All,
We would like to install Oracle RAC 10g R2 on Windows 2003 64-Bit O.S, our server boxes (4-Nodes) are IBM xSeries (Intel Based) 336 & 346, with SAN storage.
I tried to go through Oracle documentation that describes the installation steps, but as you know, it is more like generic documentation.
I am looking for a Step-By-Step COOKBOOK that is specific for this particular hardware and software configuration (IBM xSeries, SAN, Windows 2003, RAC 10g R2) that describes the required steps. I came across some great Cookbooks that describes the RAC setup on HP Unix which was designed by the HP-Oracle competency center.
Also, I have another concern if you can help me on this; In our company, we purchased the above mentioned hardware since 1.5 years back, my question is: How we can verify if this hardware combination is certified with Oracle RAC 10g ? Is it the responsibility of the hardware vendor to verify this kind of certification? or it is Oracle issue?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards.
