OLVM is the replacement product for now defunct OVM. I am not sure how
many people have bought it since the fate of OVM doesn't really instill
confidence. I used both VMWare and VirtualBox to create RAC and the only
difference is in creating a shared disk. OLVM is probably another KVM
based virtualization product and can create a shared disk. If it can
not, and I very much doubt that, you can create 3 machines and use one
as a NFSv4 server. You can also use Illumos, the artist formerly known
as OpenSolaris, as a NFSv4 server. Illumos has an excellent
implementation of zfs and you can add drives to an existing file system
or extend devices in a very easy way. You can learn about Illumos here:
https://illumos.org
You can setup Illumos in VirtualBox to use it as a NFS server. Oracle
RAC supports that NFS configuration. Of course, Oracle doesn't support
Illumos.
