Supported Ethernet Interconnects for

Compaq Parallel Database Clusters

using Oracle Parallel Server

Abstract:

This Technical Guide reviews the supported Ethernet client LAN and

cluster interconnect options for the Compaq Parallel Database

Clusters for Oracle Parallel Server. Both redundant and non-

redundant configurations are discussed. Hardware and software

requirements along with limitations are detailed. The recommended

cluster interconnect architecture is a fully redundant, and therefore

highly available configuration.
