Ranko,
I could give an iSCSI a try. If you use OpenSuse10 (at leastR2), there is an
iSCSI target deamon in the distribution.
You can configure this machine as iSCSI box. Then on at least two other
servers (or VMWares) install oracle RAC +
OCFS2.
I personally haven't used this setup, but a colleague if mine has tested it and
it works. Anyway, this configuration is
for education only.
If you are brave enough and have much spare time you cane give XEN (v.3)
technology a try ;)

P.S. What is the problem is FireWire ? The combination Oxford911 chipset +
Maxtor HDD worked perfectly for me ..
