- 24. Why Solaris Cluster for Oracle RAC? • Allows consolidation of Oracle RAC and other applications into a single High Availability framework • Faster failover and recovery with Solaris Cluster heartbeats in kernel • Eliminates single point of failure for Voting and OCR disks with redundancy • Solaris Cluster leverages Oracle RAC advanced capabilities > CRS integration > ASM support • Shared file system storage for Oracle binaries for better
- 25. Highlights • I/O Fencing and quorum prevents CRS and CacheFusion traffic data corruption • All interconnect links are used with automatic failover built-in > Upto 6 links supported • CacheFusion traffic is striped over private interconnects resulting in higher throughput and lower latency for clients
