The CIO at the company I work is all excited about the redundancy, |
2 |
high-availability, and economics of running Oracle RAC on inexpensive |
3 |
Linux nodes (Instead of monolithic Oracle on our expensive IBM pSeries |
4 |
and AIX beef) Oracle has their own "Enterprise" distro (or they condone |
5 |
RHEL or SLES). All of those distros make me want to run away and |
6 |
hide :) |

Before you go into telling me about having a neck to strangle when |
9 |
things go wrong, I understand that. I understand that Gentoo isn't an |
10 |
accountable "Enterprise" Linux. But I can fix library problems with |
11 |
Gentoo. I can also optimize things with Gentoo. I'm sure I don't have |
12 |
to preach about Gentoo's virtues here. Suffice it to say, I would very |
13 |
much rather use gentoo than those evil RPM-based distros. |

15 |
Is anyone here running Oracle Grid/RAC on Gentoo? I haven't been able |
16 |
to find anything on the web about it. I've only found the "HOWTO |
17 |
Install Oracle 10g", sans RAC. Are several hoops to jump through? Has |
18 |
anyone has written ebuilds for the supporting cluster management tools |
19 |
that Oracle Enterprise Linux has? Are there any resources on the web |
20 |
that you know about for Gentoo and RAC? |
