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" provides a general overview of zone clusters.
•"Oracle RAC in zone clusters" describes how zone clusters work with Oracle RAC.
•"Example: Zone clusters hosting Oracle RAC" steps through an example configuring Oracle RAC on a zone cluster.
•"Oracle RAC configurations" provides details on the various Oracle RAC configurations supported on zone clusters.

Dr. Ellard Roush is the Technical Lead for the Solaris Cluster Infrastructure Group. He is the architect for the zone clusters project. This is just one of many projects that have ranged across many areas, including: membership, upgrade technology, and cluster file systems. He earned the PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an MS in Computer Science from Stanford University.
Gia-Khanh Nguyen is the architect for the Solaris Cluster Database solutions. He contributed to the product requirement and design specifications for the support of Oracle RAC in the zone cluster project and made demonstrations of the features. He earned an MS in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the Engineering School for Informatics, Electronics and Automation, France.
