About SF Oracle RAC support for Oracle RAC in a zone environment

This release supports the installation and configuration of two non-global zones in each global zone. The SF Oracle RAC cluster must comprise non-global zones from different global zones.

Note:

SF Oracle RAC does not support a cluster formed of non-global zones from the same global zone.

SF Oracle RAC and the necessary agents run in the global zone. Oracle RAC runs in the non-global zone. You must configure non-global zones with an exclusive-IP zone. The exclusive-IP zone does not share the network interface with global-zone.

Using SF Oracle RAC, you can start, stop, and monitor a non-global zone and provide high availability to Oracle RAC instances inside the non-global zone.
