Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Linux SUSE for RAC SE? caveats?
Disk,
I think the $1500 price is for the 7X24 unlimited incidents support
and the $800 is for the 9X7 limited incidents support. We are starting
to request pricing for the servers and RedHat support and I chose ( I
really was asked this time) the $1500 option because of the unlimited
incidents support. I don't think we will need it but we have an mongrel
network and hardware and I did not want to be left out on a limb after 5
pm.

Just checked with our SA and I'd have to ask who your getting Red Hat
from? We get Red Hat AS for $800 per server. The upside with Red Hat
is that you don't need any other software to do a RAC install.

Subject: Linux SUSE for RAC SE? caveats?
Mgmt is buying a Linux 10g SE Oracle license that comes with RAC - to save $$
The project needs 9.2.0.4 RAC, which I will have to install on SUSE Linux v8 (E or S) boxes - 2 boxes per cluster, 1 cluster, each box has 2 Pentium IV 2.4ghz CPUs.
I am trying to figure out if we need any Linux clustering component, ie
at the OS level, and what are the problems with installing 9.2.0.4 RAC
SE on SUSE Linux.
I've been told that Red Hat is more expensive ($1500) than SUSE ($300)
Linux and that's why we're not getting it!
Recently there was a discussion on the list about dbs on Linux but not about the RAC (SE) option. There was one post mentioning good results with Red Hat 3 and RAC but no details on EE or SE (see below)
Thanks,

oracle 9.2.0.4 on redhat 3 should be ok, as I have a friend's site
running
9204 rac on redhat 3 with heavy load, system has been up stable for
nearly 1
month. They will soon expand to 4 node rac.
