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 -- Ahbaid Gaffoor Database Administrator - Oracle Certified Professional ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrk:972-404-8100x14 Cell:469-323-9420 Pgr:214-248-6322 ICQ:67367930 Pager email: pageahbaid@placemark.com/2142486322@airmessage.net
