General
rule:
The
Oracle
Database
is
cerCed
on
OS-level,
not
on
hardware-level.
General
rule:
Storage
that
represents
itself
as
block
storage
to
the
OS
does
not
require
cerCcaCon.
Is
Oracle

They

Support
for
Oracle
RAC
is
layered
and
does
consider
hardware
to
some
degree
A
system
is
only
supported
for
Oracle
RAC,
if
all
layers
are
supported.
Example:
In
a
given
system,
in
which
the
Oracle
Database
is
supported,
but
which
fails
to
meet
network
or
storage
requirements
for
Oracle
RAC,
cannot
be
supported
for
Oracle
RAC.
This
means,
a
system
that
is
supported
for
Oracle
RAC
is
always
supported
for
the
Oracle
DB.

Support
for
Oracle
RAC
is
layered
and
does
consider
virtualizaCon
technologies
A
system
is
only
supported
for
Oracle
RAC,
if
all
layers
are
supported.
There
is
no
implied
cerCcaCon
for
Oracle
RAC
on
virtualizaCon
soluCons.
Example:
A
conguraCon
that
is
cerCed
by
all
measures
on
a
bare
metal
system
is
not
automaCcally
cerCed
in
a
virtualized
environment.
A
posiCve
list
entry
is
needed.

for
RAC.
