This section provides an architecture overview and the steps to follow in setting up a 3-node Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) database using the Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager on a two-layer PowerFlex setup. This is provided only as an example to illustrate how PowerFlex can enable a business to run an Oracle Linux KVM environment with Oracle RAC. The sizing of the ASM disk groups and the database are completely arbitrary. Best practices are included, however, and apply to any deployment of this type in production.
