Dear Friends, I am trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on two node ( running on rhel 5 update 5) with Netapp san. I have read few documents available but I have following doubts; * *according to documents I need to install clusterware, ASM before installing database software. I see in ORACLE technetwork we have 1. Oracle database (in two parts)* *2. Oracle 11g R2 grid which contains clusterware and asm etc..* ** *So my doubt is arethese two softwares alone I need to install for 11g R2 RAC. or we have clusterware, asm and other required stuff seperatly. I am confused with the name GRID*. * What is vmware.. Is it mandatory for oracle RAC installation. In many places I see " Oracle RAC installation using vmware" ??? what is it? Please suggest. which are all softwares need to be installed for oracle 11g. Thanks in advance.
