Virtualization technologies are a popular means to consolidate multiple applications onto a single system for better system utilization. Solaris™ Cluster provides Solaris Zone Clusters (also called Solaris Containers Clusters), which provide virtual clusters and support the consolidation of multiple cluster applications onto a single cluster. Specifically, this article describes how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) can be deployed on a zone cluster.
This paper addresses the following topics:
"Zone cluster overview" on page 1 provides a general overview of zone clusters.
"Oracle RAC in zone clusters" on page 4 describes how zone clusters work with Oracle RAC.
"Example: Zone clusters hosting Oracle RAC" on page 11 steps through an example configuring Oracle RAC on a zone cluster.
"Oracle RAC configurations" on page 30 provides details on the various Oracle RAC configurations supported on zone clusters.
