Oracle released a paper on how to build your own Oracle RAC Cluster on Oracle Enterprise Linux and ISCSI. The guide will help you to build your own RAC cluster for under US$2600. I however states that this is only for a testing environment and not for a production environment. The paper will go over most basic points of your hardware environment and storage solutions.On the storage part there are some notes that go “against” the use of a standard NAS/NFS and tend to go more for a Direct NFS Client approach, Direct NFS Clients will integrate NFS directly to Oracle and by doing this Oracle will be able to control and fine-tune the I/O path between the Oracle software and the NFS server resulting in significant performance gains. In the example however will be worked with a ISCSI solution.
For the rest it will guide you step by step installing all the nodes and setting up networking and other environment parts. A great guide when you like to start with RAC in a test environment.
