While I suspect you're not installing on VMWare, Tim Hall's recipe for installing RAC on Win2k3 may help (just ignore the VMWare parts): http://oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnWindows2003UsingVMware.php. Other than the installation guide (which is actually quite good), I don't know of any other guides. As a side note (not really a question to you, but to the world at large), why does it always seem that Windows environments are the only places where I encounter Xiotech storage arrays? Weird. Hope that helps, a little.
