1. Yes, you can use nodes from different OEM vendors for RAC.
2. You will for sure need a private network or interconnect between the nodes for maintaining the heart-beat.

Hello,

 

I have been asked to setup a test environment for RAC. However, I don't know so much about hardware.  

 

My questions may appear dumb, please take no offence, I'm a beginning DBA and I really want to know.

 

1. Can I use 2 nodes of different makes (one IBM and one Compaq), but using same Oracle and OS versions (9.2.0.4 & Linux respectively)?

2. Can I set RAC up, using only the public network?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Regards

Chinedu
