Very interesting, I really appreciated the “live demo”, something that cannot be got from the documentation, obviously. Thanks!

This was a very good way to explain a complex subject. Short and sweet. That’s about all I can fit into a busy schedule. Keep them coming!

@hrishy: re under the hood of Oracle clusterware – yes most probably. I’ll probably do it in small bits to fit into content limitation so it would be more like a series just like with VIP’s.

Very effective presentation. I’ve been working with RAC for several years and did not quite understand VIP. Now I feel much more confident.

[...] The first videocast was quite popular — it has more than 300 views in couple weeks and considering no Hollywood stars were starring in that video and there were no nude scenes, I think it’s fair to say that this format was very much welcomed by the audience. [...]

Nice presentation, thanks Alex.

I didn’t realize that when a vip failed over it wasn’t actually recognized by the listener. Interesting…

Looking forward to the next video.

Alex,

I have tested that issue on two RAC’s
10.2.0.3 on Windows and 10.2.0.4 on Linux.
On Windows I had to set a LOCAL_LISTENER to avoid return a pure hostname in case of LB. In 10.2.0.4 on Linux it is working with LOCAL_LISTENER set to empty string.

Maybe it is platform depended – Windows is a little bit strange machine in case of resolving back IP into name and vice versa.

regards,
Marcin
