Setting Up Linux With FireWire-Based Shared Storage for Oracle9i RAC

Overview If a person is all fired up about FireWire and wants to set up a two-node cluster for development and testing purposes for the Oracle RAC (Real Application Clusters) database on Linux, this paper will help the reader get started. The paper steps through the installation of the Oracle database and the use of the patched kernel for configuring Linux for FireWire as well as the installation and configuration of Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS) on a FireWire shared-storage device. Oracle RAC uses shared storage in conjunction with a multinode extension of a database to allow scalability and provide failover security.
