RAC on Multiple VMware Nodes
VMware GSX/ESX Server permits the sharing of plain disks with multiple virtual machines running on the same host, provided the disk in question is a SCSI disk.
This approach is very powerful but complex. You can create very complex environments – multiple NICs, switches, disks etc.
Now there are a number of nodes although virtual
Disadvantages
![Page 14: In RAC We Trust ORACLE - From Dream To Production Plamen Zyumbyulev,, Let someone k n o w ” BGOUG – Gabrovo 22.04.2005](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e0d5503460f94af6b0c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
RAC and Network Block Device
This solution allows you to build scalable and high available database system only with common Intel PCs connected into Ethernet network.
In this solution, a standard shared disk subsystem is replaced by a native Linux technology - Network Block Device (NBD) that maps remote files to local block devices (e.g. /dev/nb0) via TCP/IP network. One computer (not necessarily Linux machine) serves as data storage for all cluster nodes (Linux machines) instead of expensive disk array.
![Page 15: In RAC We Trust ORACLE - From Dream To Production Plamen Zyumbyulev,, Let someone k n o w ” BGOUG – Gabrovo 22.04.2005](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e0d5503460f94af6b0c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RAC and Network Block Device (cont’d)
With this thing compiled into the kernel, Linux can use a remote server as one of its block devices. Every time the client computer wants to read /dev/nd0, it will send a request to the server via TCP, which will reply with the data requested.
The remote resource doesn't need to be a whole disk or even a partition. It can be a file.

Now block devices are configured and it is possible to access remote data. Oracle Real application clusters need raw access to shared disk subsystem so mapping raw devices to block devices is needed. This could by done with standard raw command.

cluster_interconnects parameterIt provides Oracle with information about additional cluster interconnects available for use and can be used to load balance the interconnect traffic to different physical interconnects thus increasing interconnect bandwith.
When you set CLUSTER_INTERCONNECTS in cluster configurations, the interconnect high availability features are not available. In other words, an interconnect failure that is normally unnoticeable would instead cause an Oracle cluster failure as Oracle still attempts to access the network interface which has gone down.

Implementing RAC in production
Smooth transition from single instance to RAC
Change ORACLE_HOME
Relinking the RAC Option ON/OFF CLUSTER_DATABASE = TRUE/FALSE Start/Stop the second instance
Start gradual movement of clients from one instance to another

Relinking the RAC Option
1. Login as the Oracle software owner and shutdown all database instances on all nodes in the cluster.
2. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
3. make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on (rac_off)
If this step did not fail with fatal errors then proceed to step 4.
4. make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle
