What are the requirements for Oracle RAC / Grid 11g, 12c installation

What is Cluster, requirements to build cluster database.

Oracle clusterware enables one or more than servers into single unit and communicate each other. Oracle cluster manages the resources such as server names, VIP’s, private IP’s, Public IP’s, scan IP’s, databases, listeners, instances, services and so on, and these resources doesn’t allow to modify. For example resources names like as ora.host_name.resource_name.

Hardware requirements for the Oracle RAC
Hardware components (Servers) of the clusterware is similar. However, a server is part of the cluster requires second network to communicate each other, this second network is called as the interconnect. This interconnect network is a private network using a switch that only the nodes in the cluster can access.
Note: Oracle doesn’t support using cross cables as clusterware interconnects.
1.       At least two network interfaces to the public network.
2.       At least two network interfaces to the private interconnect network.

 Storage requirements for the Oracle Clusterware / Grid infrastructure:
The clusterware servers required common shared storage (cluster-aware storage) mounted in all servers. Oracle clusterware supports NFS, iSCSI, DAS, NAS and SAN storage's.

Oracle RAC/Grid Components:
OCR
Voting Disk
OLR

Networking Configurations:
Scan IP’s
Public IP’s
Private IP’s
Virtual IP’s
