Configuring Storage and Networking for Oracle RAC 10g
This section provides information and procedures for setting up a Fibre Channel cluster running a
seed database:
• Configuring the public and private networks
• Securing your system
• Verifying the storage configuration
• Configuring shared storage for Cluster Ready Services (CRS) and Oracle Database
Oracle RAC 10g is a complex database configuration that requires an ordered list of procedures. To
configure networks and storage in a minimal amount of time, perform the following procedures in order.
Configuring the Public and Private Networks
This section presents steps to configure the public and private cluster networks.
NOTE: Each node requires a unique public and private internet protocol (IP) address and an additional public
IP address to serve as the virtual IP address for the client connections and connection failover. The virtual
IP address must belong to the same subnet as the public IP. All public IP addresses, including the virtual IP address,
should be registered with Domain Naming Service and routable.
Depending on the number of NIC ports available, configure the interfaces as shown in Table 1-6.
Table 1-6. NIC Port Assignments
NIC Port Three Ports Available Four Ports available
1 Public IP and virtual IP Public IP
2 Private IP (bonded) Private IP (bonded)
3 Private IP (bonded) Private IP (bonded)
4 NA Virtual IP
