What are the conditions kept in mind while connecting the Oracle RAC with the network?

- Oracle uses the UDP over the GigE to interconnect to the cluster and the servers. It makes use of crossover cables to interconnect the database.

- It supports more than one servers connected through LAN connection and shared a pool of storage.

- Oracle Clusterware supports the more than one node in the cluster and it supports the node to be running more than one different operating systems.

- All the servers should support the same architecture and have the same detail information as well. This way the servers need to be in synchronization with each other.

- The servers need to run on a particular node and communicate with other servers that are running on several other nodes.
