I spent the Bank Holiday weekend playing with 10g RAC on Linux. I don’t have a FireWire disk, and I didn’t want to destroy my NAS, so I decided to user VMware Server to fake it. That process resulted in this:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) RAC Installation On CentOS 4 Using VMware Server
It’s got about 100 screen shots, so it’s a bit on the large side 🙂
I’ve been using RAC (9i and 10g) on Tru64 for a few years, but until this weekend I had never installed it on any other operating system. Suffice to say, the process is almost identical.
I suppose I should repeat the exercise on Windows 2003, but I’m not sure I can be bothered. Windows is such a drag 🙂
Cheers
