| Can anyone give me any pointers how to cluster 2 PCs installed with Oracle 9i? Does Oracle 9i support clustering? Do I need a special OS to support it? I can go with either Windows 2K,Win2003 or Linux If Linux any particular flavor (RH, Mandrake etc) which one would recommend(assuming it's possible). Also how little RAM can I use? I currently have 2 400 MHz 128MB PCs that I want to cluster oracle. This is not for production. It's only for developing for about 8 developers and that is all. When the need increases, I'll increase the cluster if possible or go w/bigger machines. At the moment I must use the low end machines to get things started to prove I can cluster, assuming I can. Any ideas about clustering? I would appreciate any thoughts on the subject. Thanks Steve |

Oracle does support clustering, I currently can't remember the name of the Mickeysoft product you need. In your case I would safely forget about even trying to get such a measly configuration into clustering. In your case even 1 standalone machine with only 128 Mb Ram should show abysmal performance, not talking about 8 developers connection. You'll need 512M Ram minimum on both of these machines, better still 1G. -- Sybrand Bakker, Senior Oracle DBA |
