I installed 10g rac on Enterprise linux and vmware. I used 1 local node and 1 virtual node. Before I read this artical, I was stuck with disk sharing. Here you gave nice tricks for doing it. Thanks, Anup Great job!!!

They are very helpful. I have managed to create the two VM-s and they are able to communicate among themselves. But I am not able to see the outside world (internet) from within the VM-s. Can you tell me what I might be missing? I tried both the bridged and NAT. The former does not allow the host computer to connect to the VM but the latter does. But with the NAT, I cannot connect to the host or the internet from within the VM-s. Thanks. Anand First of all thank you for creating these instructions. They are very helpful.

You are indeed right. Seperating the ASM and Oracle Homes in a production environment is recommended. I wanted to save disk space hence the reason for using only one home!

Thanks for your valuable feedback. You are indeed right. Seperating the ASM and Oracle Homes in a production environment is recommended. I wanted to save disk space hence the reason for using only one home!

Only thing is "missing here" is to install ASM in a separate Oracle home.It is for High Availability and maintenace. That's mean after installing Oracle Database Software do one more install ORACLE_HOME=:/u01/app/oracle/products/11.1.0/asm directory. Choose option Configure ASM. Thanks.
