Reasons for 2 or 3 node RAC as a minimum RAC reference architecture

edited Mar 6, 2013 9:20AM in Database - RAC/Scalability (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered
 Hi gents,
That's a question around every Oracle RAC installations we have deployed on production environments: Why three nodes are better than two, as a meaning of "minimum standard configuration of Oracle RAC". Is there any real technical reason? Or we are talking only of minimizing risks having 2 nodes running at least when the third node fails?

Thanks,

Howdy, Stranger!
