Introduction
One of the biggest obstacles pre$enting people fro* setting up test RAC en$iron*ents is the re,uire*ent for shared storage. &n a production en$iron*ent/ shared storage is often pro$ided b) a #A. or high0end .A# de$ice/ but both of these options are $er) expensi$e "hen all )ou "ant to do is get so*e experience installing and using RAC. A cheaper alternati$e is to use a 1ire2ire dis% enclosure to allo" t"o *achines to access the sa*e dis%(s)/ but that still costs *one) and re,uires t"o ser$ers. A third option is to use !"are #er$er to fa%e the shared storage. 3sing !"are #er$er )ou can run *ultiple irtual !achines ( !s) on a single ser$er/ allo"ing )ou to run both RAC nodes on a single *achine. &n additon/ it allo"s )ou to set up shared $irtual dis%s/ o$erco*ing the obstacle of expensi$e shared storage. -efore )ou launch into this installation/ here are a fe" things to consider. The finished s)ste* includes the host operating s)ste*/ t"o guest operating s)ste*s/ t"o sets of Oracle Cluster"are/ t"o A#! instances and t"o 'atabase instances all on a single ser$er. As )ou can i*agine/ this re,uires a significant a*ount of dis% space/ C+3 and *e*or). & "as able to co*plete this installation on a 4.5( +entiu* 5 "ith 4( of *e*or)/ but it "as extre*el) slo". This procedure pro$ides a bare bones installation to get the RAC "or%ing. There is no redundanc) in the Cluster"are installation or the A#! installation. To add this/ si*pl) create double the a*ount of shared dis%s and select the 6.or*al6 redundanc) option "hen it is offered. Of course/ this "ill ta%e *ore dis% space. 'uring the $irtual dis% creation/ & al"a)s choose not to preallocate the dis% space. This *a%es $irtual dis% access slo"er during the installation/ but sa$es on "asted dis% space.

This is not/ and should not be considered/ a production0read) s)ste*. &t7s si*pl) to allo" )ou to get used to installing and using RAC.
