Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: RAC on VMWARE
Robert, I haven't a clue about what you're seeing but, using Vincent Chan's
cookbook and Oracle's linux distribution, I was able to successfully create
a two-node 10gR2 RAC cluster in VMWARE on Windows. If you haven't taken a
look at what Vincent wrote up, it might be useful in your troubleshooting.
Vincent's write-up is here:
