We have couple of Dells ranging from 2650 to 6650s running Linux + Oracle from
8i to 9i. Different disk configurations, but all disks are within the box itself
so far.

At this point I am looking into "proof of concept" for 9i RAC configuration.

I am thinking of the following:

Oracle 9i RAC + Dell 1650 (2 processor) + NFS storage (at this point just
another box with NFS, that will be replaced with NAS solution).

Anyone has expereince with low cost 9i RAC + Linux solutions?
