Private Interconnects on Windows
Mar 24 2008, 6:33 PM EDT
I have a question regarding establishing multiple private interconnects on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. I have found document after document stating "Oracle RAC still requires a minimum of 2 networks cards per node, 1 for the publicinterface and one for the cluster interconnect." but I cannot find one that shows how to setup multiple private interconnects. I did find that on a UNIX or Linux a platform, multiple private interconnects are possible. I(See Chapter 3 of the Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2).) Is there a way to set up and administer 1 public interconnect and 2 or more private interconnects in a RAC environment? Any help would be appreciated. Do you find this valuable? |

Hi,the correct way to do this is to team (or bond) adapters 2 and 3 to create a new adapter. You then provide this new adapter as the private interface when installing Oracle Clusterware. MS Windows does not provide teaming/bonding as part of the OS. The NIC/motherbord vendors (Intel, DELL, HP, Broadcom, etc.) all have their own solution for providing this. So you install and configure that teaming software before you install Oracle Clusterware. Do you find this valuable? |
