For anyone interested, this is exactly how I got 2-Node RAC running under VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Pro - Using an OpenFiler SAN vmware image.

Yes, I tried it once in VMware workstation, and it kept on telling me clustering was not supported. Which meant it would not let you share one drive between two workstations.You can do it in vmware workstation if you set up a 3rd workstation as the NAS server. Like I said, I set it up in vmware workstation using 2 OEL workstations, and 1 openfiler workstation. Its not too hard, and gives you a much better feel for what a production RAC installtion is like.On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 8:37 AM, dave <david.best@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 9:05 AM, Andrew Kerber <andrew.kerber@xxxxxxxxx > wrote: > Yes, those instructions are for vmware server, not vmware workstation.> Thats why I asked. Sorry didn't notice that.. Pretty sure workstation doesn't support shared disks.. at least the version I used at the time I tested RAC didn't. -- Andrew W.
