Hi
Need some help from Oracle RAC people who created the test environment on Linux
using Oracle Virtual Box.
Here is my configuration
1. Installed OEL 6 update 4 on Dell Server with software on Logical volume as
well as using /dev/sda1
2. Also have /dev/sdb sdc sdd sde available where /dev/sdb1 is mounted as
/oravm1
3. Installed Virtual Box 4.2
4. While creating VM, i am stuck at the Storage screen as I select create new
virtual disk on /oravm1 but when viewing the partition layout, I am seeing it
is installing root filesystem and /home kind of using same where I installed
the initial server software like in Step 1. It look like if I proceed, it will
wipe the original Server Linux and at reboot will be in OS state
SO question is
1 How to use /oravm1 to take selected 30G for OS software as well as layout or
create partition on /dev/sdc or so. I am not able to see anything except
/dev/sda while I am on partition layout screen and press the create button
Please help so that I can complete the setup. I earlier worked using Virtual
Bob on Windows and has not face this issue. First time using Virtual box on
linux and stuck.
Please feel free to send email if I am not clear at any point or need some more
information or even screenshot for easy reference
TIA
Sanjay
