Configuring Networking and Storage for Oracle RAC 10g R2
This section provides information about setting up a Fibre Channel cluster and includes the following
procedures:
• Configuring the public and private networks.
• Verifying the storage configuration.
• Configuring the shared storage for Oracle Clusterware and the Oracle Database.
NOTE: Oracle RAC 10g R2 is a complex database configuration that requires an ordered list of procedures. To
configure networking and storage in a minimal amount of time, perform the following procedures in order.
Configuring the Public and Private 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 address. All public IP addresses, including the virtual
IP address, should be registered with the domain naming system (DNS). If a DNS server is not available, they have
to be registered in the hosts file on all cluster nodes.
Depending on the number of NIC ports available, configure the public and private 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 (NIC team) Private IP (NIC team)
3 Private IP (NIC team) Private IP (NIC team)
4 NA Virtual IP
