Warning. It is not OFFICIAL document. It is not supported, verified or approved by any vendor (SuSe/Novell, Oracle, Network Appliances). Use it on your own risk.

 

Warning 2. Document describes Oracle 10.1.0.3 RAC cluster. This cluster version was not stable enough and must be updated to 10.1.0.4 after installation for production use. I recommend using 10.2 instead, especially for x86_64 platform. See link on the first page (above).

 

Scripts for 10R1 can be taken from: ../../SLES9-ORA10RAC-iSCSI-ASM.tgz, and for 10R2 from ../../SLES9-ORA10.2RAC-iSCSI-ASM.tgz
