Is it mandatory to have VIP in RAC environment
Hello Community Members,
I am relatively new to RAC world. As I am trying to set up RAC in VM environment to gain some experience in RAC, I have 2 questions:
1. Is it mandatory to have VIPs in RAC environment? Conceptually, it does not seem to be mandatory. But I still want to clear whether so is the case or not.
2. Is the entry of VIP in DNS a must - ours is a massive company and our IT team may not agree for this small request? Am I likely to face any issue if I make an entry only in /etc/hosts file?
