I'm trying to setup the following under SuSE 8.1

Box1 ----/
shared scsi-subsytem
Box2 ----/

A better representation is at http://ocpdba.net/oracle9i_rac/files/Oracle9iRAC.png

I'm using Adaptec 2940 Ultra Wide Cards for the setup.

On Box1 the SCSI Card ID is set to 0
On Box2 the SCSI Card ID is set to 7

The drives in the shared scsi-box will use id's 1 through 6

I have gone past the aic7xxx.o problem (thanks Dan Am)

Questions:
=======
1) Has anyone done this successfully?
2) Are there any gotchas when doing this?
3) How do you power up this setup? I guess the SCSI disks first then Box1, then Box2?
4) Is there a howto on this out there?
5) Any advice in this endeavour is most welcome

many thanks
