Oracle 10G RAC on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition

Just like the previous one, this one is done as well. Now all I have to do is to upload the step by step print screens on to my gallery. I promise also to put it all on PDF so you all can down load it from my document section on my site.

I am also working on...

• RHEL 3 Oracle 10g RAC
  
• RHEL 4 Oracle 10g RAC
• SLES 9 Oracle 10g RAC

I think slowly we'll move on to working our way up to the Oracle 10g RAC as the product is here for quite sometime now.

Then we'll try all kinds of scenarios like migrating a 9i single instance to a 9i RAC (or better yet 10g RAC), expand nodes. But most important stuff will be to start running load testing and management tools like

• Benchmark Factory Quest
• I've applied for a beta testing and contribute on Spotlight on RAC 1.0
• And that unofficial tool called swingbench.

So lot's of fun things to come.

Oracle 9i RAC on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition

I'm busy setting up the Oracle 9iR2 RAC on Windows 2003 Ent. Edition. (Patience children, we'll do the Redhat and SuSe as well in the coming days). Well I got kind of tired playing around in all kinds of technologies and would want to get back to *my* Oracle :-).

Will edit(this post tomorrow) on the details.

So what will we be needing?

• VMWare Workstation 5.0
• CFS/RAC/Oracle 9iR2 for Windows
• Some free time
• A Computer with min 1G RAM (would be great if it were 2G)
• Beer/Soda

Ok the deal is simple, like a real cluster ought to be. We'll have two instances (well you can go on a create more if you like) but let's just start with the two first.

and lot's more...

So hang tight! We're gonna start cooking soon...
