Does anyone have any experience installing Oracle 10g RAC on filers, both binaries and dbf files? I've searched NOW and found nothing specific on 10g which makes me wonder if RedHat/Oracle10g/NetApp is a certified configuration.

What flavor of RH/DOT are you using?

Sandy, et. al;
I happened to do some research on this very question today. There's a lot of smoke and mirrors to it yet.
To get any benefit out of 10g you need: - a 64 bit CPU (AMD Opteron or Intel Itanium) - 64 bit Linux (SuSE is the only one I know of yet) - 4GB RAM minimum
Refer to: http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/win64_ readme.htm http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-997619.html http://www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions/faq.htm http://www.intel.com/design/itanium2/
The NetApp doesn't care what the bits are, whether 32 or 64 bit.
What's your motivation for going 10g?

RedHat, too, for both Opteron-64 and Intel's EM64T Xeon thingy.
- 4GB RAM minimum
note that the Intel EM64T can't DMA above 4G, due to chipset limits. may hinder your IO performance a bit.

Similar to another response to this post, the compelling reason for 10g really isn't the 64-bit-ness. In fact, there isn't even 10g for Opteron Linux yet, though there is 9i for Opteron Linux. The compelling reasons for 10g are:
-Low two-node introductory RAC pricing -Much easier performance tuning -Much improved RMAN implementation -A variety of handy-dandy tools that weren't around in 9i
On the flip side, 10g RAC is much more unstable than its 9i counterpart. So, its probably not a good idea, though it has nothing to do with 32-bit vs. 64-bit.
Thanks, Matt
