RE: Moving from single instance to RAC

Hi  

Are you staying on AIX or moving to Linux From Jarrods survey you will be in a minority group of sites running RAC and it makes sense not to use high costs subsystems like AIX servers to be your RAC hosts.  

Why are you moving to RAC, what problem is it you are trying to solve  

You need to test and test and test some more before going live and load test your application or it may get very messy after you go live  

Without knowing the application of if its an inhouse application then its difficult to say much  

You need to consider if you need multiple sets of clusters for your site  

You have to use RMAN      

Cheers  

Peter
