May I ask why you are using all the partitions from the same server for RAC? What if the server goes down for some reason; it will take all your RAC nodes down with it.

	Hi all
	
	I carried out first of four 10g RAC R2 with Veritas SFRAC

installation today.         

        There were some network configuration problems which still need to be issued, I am not sure if this normal configuration under Solaris 10?         

        The server is a Primepower 2500 with 8 partitions where 4 RAC will be configured.         

        The 8 partitions had these names         

	server1
	server2


	...

	server8
	
	there is an internal network between these partitions with these

IPs         

	192.168.0.1
	192.168.0.2


	...

	192.168.0.8
	
	And public IP with corrsponding entries in /etc/hosts
	
	10.1.100.1 server1_pub 
	10.1.100.2 server2_pub


	...

	10.1.100.8 server8_pub
	
	I was not aware that when you ping server1 it goes to the

internal IP, 192.168.0.1, during CRS installation, in the screen where you choose Public IP, Private IP And Virtual IP OUI chose server1 hostname for the public IP interface which was wrong, it has to use server1_pub AFAIK         

        I wonder, does RAC need primary histname for CRS? An alias would not work?         

        The installation guide states that CRS need primary hostname when NOT used with Third Party Clusterware but since there is Veritas in the middle I am not sure if this network configuration is "NORMAL" or something out of order?                  

        Thanks

			Hi
			
			I have to perform a Oracle 10.2.0.2 RAC

Installation on Sun Solaris 10, Veritas Storage Foundation for RAC v5.0 will be used and will be installed by some Veritas guy.                         

                        I havent got previous experience with Veritas SF + RAC combination, in 10g I have used only Oracle Clusterware. I wonder how different will this be? What should I tell the Veritas guy about the cluster configurations I need? At Metalink there is no document about 10g, there is one when 9i was released which I am reading it right now.                         

                        TiA!
