 Oracle SPARC processors have been a hallmark of enterprise computing for over two decades, powering mission-critical workloads with exceptional reliability, security, and performance. Designed specifically for Oracle software and engineered systems, SPARC-based servers have long been favored in industries like finance, telecommunications, and government for their rock-solid stability and predictable scalability. But as the IT landscape evolves rapidly—driven by cloud computing, open architectures, and x86 dominance—the future of SPARC hardware is a topic of growing interest and speculation. The Legacy Strengths of SPARC SPARC architecture brought numerous innovations: High throughput and scalability: Optimized for multithreaded database and middleware workloads. Advanced RAS features: Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability designed to minimize downtime. Tight hardware-software integration: Oracle’s engineered systems such as Exadata and SuperCluster leverage S...

This is a very detailed post for configuring Oracle 12c RAC  on Solaris 11.1 X86-64bit Operating system. It consists of more than 100 screen shots. There are many bloggers who demonstrated  all new 12c RAC installation  on Linux and windows. This demonstration is on oracle solaris 11.1 (X86-64Bit) This configuration is deployed on 2 Oracle Solaris 11.1  virtual machines hosting on vmware server 2.0 and I have used windows 2003 as DNS Server for resolving scan-name. Listed below software's are used for building 12 RAC: 1) VMware Server 2.0 Installed on windows 7 2) Oracle Solaris 11.1 text Installer 3) Oracle Solaris package repository Images 4) Oracle 12c Grid Infrastructure for Solairs-X86-64bit 5) Oracle 12c Database for Solairs-X86-64bit I will perform this Installation in four parts: Part1:-    Creation  of virtual machines Part2:-    Installation of Oracle Solaris 11.1 operating including GI pre-reuisites...
