Oracle 11g RAC on HP C3000 blade with Bl460c servers using SB40c as storage
Oracle RAC,
Oracle 11g,
Oracle 10g,
HP StorageWorks SB40c,
ProLiant BL460c Blade Server,
HP BladeSystem c3000,
Oracle on Linux
Has anyone built a oracle 11g or 10g RAC on HP Blade C3000. A typical setup could be 4 X Bl460c blade servers using 4 X SB40c storage blade ( giving 24 X 146 GB SAS drives ). Both the blade servers and storage will fit in the same blade enclosure. OS could be oracle enterprise Linux The advantages would be.
- shared stored on the blade enclosure meaning no need for SAN or NAS.
- shared stored on the blade enclosure meaning no need for HBAs
- no need for private LAN as servers will internally communicate via backplane.
The question is has anyone build this and if so what was the experience?
