I saw an interesting post on Oracle Real Application Cluster Database at Kirk’S<\/span><\/span> Blog Who’s afraid of the big bad RAC<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Biggest challenge in learning \/ understanding RAC<\/span><\/span> is lack of hands on experience because of expensive hardware, network cards, interconnect and cluster file system. In this and coming posts I’ll cover step by step Oracle RAC<\/span><\/span> installation and configuration on single laptop\/desktop using VMWare<\/span><\/span> Server without investing anything extra on hardware (using two virtual machines, virtual network cards and virtual shared disk for Oracle RAC<\/span><\/span> database shared files system ).<\/p>\n

Here are broad level steps for configuring\/building<\/span> Oracle RAC<\/span><\/span> Database on laptop\/desktop machine (without investing any thing on hardware).<\/p>\n

— Install VMWare<\/span><\/span> Server<\/span> on your desktop or laptop
\n— Create a Virtual Linux Machine RAC<\/span><\/span>1
\n— Install Linux Operating on RAC<\/span><\/span>1
\n— Add virtual shared disk for voting disk, ocr<\/span><\/span> and ASM<\/span><\/span>
\n— Add virtual network card for private interconnect
\n— Configure network card and virtual shared disk
\n— Clone Virtual Machine from RAC<\/span><\/span>1 and RAC<\/span><\/span>2
\n— Configure User Equivalency and other Oracle RAC<\/span><\/span> prereqs<\/span><\/span>.
\n— Download and install Oracle RAC<\/span><\/span> Software (Clusterware<\/span><\/span>)
\n— Download and install RAC<\/span><\/span> Database software using ASM<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Download :<\/strong>
\nDownload following software required in building your own Oracle RAC<\/span> Database
\n— Download VMWare<\/span> Server Console<\/a>
\n— Download Red Hat Linux ES 3 <\/a>
\n— Download Oracle Database (10201_database_linux<\/span>32.zip) & Oracle Clusterware<\/span> (10201_clusterware<\/span>_linux<\/span>32.zip)<\/a><\/p>\n
