HI Chris, thanks for your repply. I was reading the Lon's notes, I have seem that he uses a active-passive conf, without gfs. I installed a mysql cluster, but, I used gfs. If I use and active-passive conf, I believe that I shouldn't use gfs. Anyone could explain me how to configure a cluster without gfs?. Thanks.! <div class="gmail_quote">2011/4/19 Jankowski, Chris <<a href="mailto:Chris.Jankowski@hp.com">Chris.Jankowski@hp.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div>Marcelo, The paper you mentioned is now 6 years old. Quite a bit has changed in RHEL CS and Oracle DB since. If you need RAC and you are doing this for a living, I recommend that you invest in these two books: For Oracle 11g (published in 2010):<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Oracle-Database-11g-Linux/dp/1430229586/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1303262530&sr=1-1" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Oracle-Database-11g-Linux/dp/1430229586/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1303262530&sr=1-1</a> For Oracle 10g (published in 2006): <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Oracle-Database-11g-Linux/dp/1430229586/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1303262530&sr=1-1" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Oracle-Database-11g-Linux/dp/1430229586/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1303262530&sr=1-1</a> Each has 800+ pages of very solid information. However, as always with books, they are obsolete the day they are published. Oracle 11g R2 RAC is covered in the first book in one chapter only.

The RH docs have an example of how to do an oracle cold-failover cluster for oracle. If you want active-active then you will require RAC.
