Supported Ethernet Interconnects for
Compaq Parallel Database Clusters
using Oracle Parallel Server
Abstract:
This Technical Guide reviews the supported Ethernet client LAN and
cluster interconnect options for the Compaq Parallel Database
Clusters for Oracle Parallel Server
.
Both redundant and non-
redundant configurations are discussed. Hardware and software
requirements along with
limitations are detailed. The recommended
cluster interconnect architecture is a fully redundant, and therefore
highly available configuration.
