Thanks for your help in advance

Hi,
I am not sure "shared disks" works with every VMWare Workstation version.
Also CentOS is not a supported OS for Oracle RAC.
I personally would advice taking Oracle Linux (which is also free) and use Virtual Box, because I know shared disks works in there flawlessly:

However if you do have an exact question, on what is unclear, maybe other can help you further.

RAC setup on VMware Workstation is possible?

Hi,
Is it possible to create a RAC setup on VMware workstation(VMware-workstation-6.5.1-126130) or VMware server is mandatory for such a setup.
My planned RAC setup will as show below.
OS:Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-i386
Oracle clusterware:10201_clusterware_linux32
Oracle Database:10201_database_linux32
I am planning to store OCR and Voting disks on shared RAW devices and database files on ASM.
Thank You and Regards...

Yes its possible to install it over workstation. There is as such o difference in both the products except that server is free but workstation is paid. Otherwise, both are virual machine softwares.

Oracle 10g RAC on 2 VMware Windows 2003 images corrupts image

It happened twice on each of the 2 VMware workstation 5 on which I am trying to set up an Oracle 10g R2 RAC. After installing CRS and rebooting machine I lost access to the Network Connections and the Disk Management. Basically I have to create a new image. Before I start a third time I would appreciate advice or feedback from other users.
Also Configuration Assistants failed to install.
Thanks

Check out my articles at http://dbasupport.com on 10g R2 RAC Clusterware setup. I was able to do that on my vmware BUT I hope to have the very irritating ASM scenario done before my 4th Article.

11gr2 rac installation on vmware runinstaller not able to visible all nodes

Hello,
Recently I have installed two nodes 11gr2 rac on vmware workstation 6 with OEL 5.4. CRS installation work fine. But after that when I do olsnodes, it's shows only one node. Also, when I try to install oracle database binary, in node selection tab, it's shows only respective nodes and not shows all nodes.

Installation of 11gr2 Grid was successfull or not?
Try to check the status of High Availability service daemon by typing the following command:
./crsctl check cluster. (on all nodes)
The output should look like this:
CRS-4537: Cluster Ready Services is online
CRS-4529: Cluster Synchronization Services is online
CRS-4533: Event Manager is online

How can I quit a setup during installation

How can I quit a setup during installation?
The program I am trying to quit is 'CANON_IJ'

Restart or force restart the computer, if it refuses to restart, i.e. repeat the steps already shown by Noble Seven. If it stubborn, and does not restart— well, in dispair of solutions, press power button for 6 seconds until mac shuts down. Wait one minute and press power button again, you will be able to eject the disk now.
This is not a recommended solution, try to calmly quit all activities, including by forcing mac to quit them. If you succeed in logging out, you will be able to restart it normally.

What does choosing interface as public or private during rac install mean?

What does choosing interface as public or private during rac install mean? You see the option on the OUI screen in the step after adding nodes on which you need the install.

Public: Is the interfacce where the connection to the db is done (user, application server etc).
Private: Used for communication between the nodes in the cluster and is done by the instances. No one should be able to connect via this interface.

Issues with Arch 2009.02 in VMware Workstation [SOLVED]

I installed Arch Linux 2009.02 i686 as a guest in VMware Workstation 6.5.1, my host is Vista x64. The installation of Arch itself and Xorg wasn't a problem although from this point I've had several issues.
I was unable to 'startx' or 'xinit' without getting crashes, however adding hal to the daemons fixed that problem - some wiki entries state to add dbus, but dbus is already started. A lot of content on the wiki is outdated, telling users to use hwd; I did install hwd separately (from sourceforge) although it gave me hundreds? of errors related to PCI and eventually failure to parse some x configuration binary in /usr/bin.
Multimedia Issues
I then installed xfce4 and gstreamer-plugins. All video and audio play back too quickly, i.e. it seems to play the streams as fast as they can decode. This also happens with flash content such as youtube after I'd installed the appropriate programs. Thinking this may be a timing issue, I editted the vmware config file on my Windows host although it did not help; the timing in the VM seemed to be correct anyway.
Display Issues
When I run 'startxfce4' from a terminal, Xfce will start as 800x600 - if I go to change this resolution all options show 0Hz as the refresh rate and many options my monitor cannot display are shown even though I have VMware set to allow a maximum size of 1680x1050. I was unable to generate a 'good' xorg.conf file using 'X -configure' and as mentioned earlier, hwd would not work for me. I installed xf86-video-vmware and xf86-video-vesa as well as both open-vm-tools and normal vmware-tools (not at the same time or together) but can't seem to sort this issue. vmware-tools was able to generate a valid xorg.conf file but it only included a handful of 4:3 resolutions and some of these still showed 0hz. For some strange reason 'startx' and 'xinit' now do not work having failed to find /dev/fb0.
VMware Tools
When I did try to install vmware-tools, it had many difficulties trying to build the modules - mostly regarding to not recognising __FREEBSD__, I cannot remember the complete error. I also tried to build open-vm-tools but that gave an error about not being able to find libproc even though I had procps installed. Stopping open-vm-tools on shutdown also always fails and occurs twice.
I'm going to try reinstalling now that I know a little more about what I did to get things working but if anyone could give me a hand it'd be much appreciated.

After a lot of experimentation I've got a satisfactory installation although a few minor problems remain:
Adjustments required to correctly run Alsa+Xorg in Arch Linux 2009.02 using VMware Workstation
The current kernel does not play nicely with alsa, downgrade to kernel26-2.6.29.4-1:
wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/core/ … pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U kernel26-2.6.29.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Install/Upgrade dbus:
pacman -Sy dbus
Add hal (if it's not installed then make sure to do so) to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal)
The current open-vm-tools-modules is not compatible with the older kernel, instead use open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1:
wget http://www.schlunix.org/archlinux/commu … pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U open-vm-tools-modules-2009.04.23-1
The installation will prompt you with an error that /etc/modprobe.conf could not be found (as does the current version), add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
install pcnet32 /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install vmxnet; /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install pcnet 32 ; /bin/true;
You can now install open-vm-tools:
pacman -S open-vm-tools
To autoload open-vm-tools on start up you need to add it to your daemons located in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal open-vm-tools)
Add vmware-user to your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file if you desire (for seamless mouse and display switching), e.g. my xinitrc with xfce4 ends with:
vmware-user &
exec startxfce4
Install the following components: xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse:
(You will not be able to start x if you have installed xf86-video-fbdev and do not have a valid xorg.conf file, this is addressed later)
pacman -S xf86-video-vmware xf86-video-vesa xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-input-mouse
Lastly we need to edit/create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use our vmware drivers, this will enable automatic resolution switching and seamless mouse functionality:
(All of the following is necessary otherwise X will ignore our vmware drivers)
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "VMware Mouse"
Driver "vmmouse"
Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "VMware SVGA"
Driver "vmware"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "VMware Config"
InputDevice "VMware Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Issues
* open-vm-tools fails to stop during a shutdown or /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools stop/restart
* most screen resolutions show 0Hz (although everything works correctly) and adding VertRefresh to xorg.conf produces a major error
* playback of flash video produces a sound artefact when starting - although I think this may be to do with the decoder rather than system
I've marked this as solved although I welcome any suggestions regarding these minor issues. The open-vm-tools one I can probably sort out but it's too late now to look into tonight

VMware Workstation 5 & vmware-any-any added to AUR

As it became clear from comments added to the vmware-workstation 6 package in aur i was not the only archuser that wanted to stay with workstation 5 (license isssues) i decided to make an aur package of it.
I used the pkgbuilds for vmware-workstation by miklos, romashka & pizzapunk and adapted them.
During testing the package i found i needed the vm-any-any updates to make it run with the latest kernel (as expected) , so i've made an aur package for that also.
To avoid confusion with the vmware-workstation package i've named my package vmware-ws5 .

I managed to get the problem fixed by switching to vmware server 1.0.4. The I mounted the "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\solaris.iso" CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains one file, which I unzipped, and then extracted the single tar file. After reading the doc/INSTALL file I ran the setup script. I accepted all the defaults, and after the script completed things started working fine.

Can I install Oracle VM server on VMware Workstation 7 with linux?

I have installed VMware Workstation 7 on my laptop that already has windows 7 operating system.
Next I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 on my VMware Workstation 7.
Now am planing to setup a RAC environment.
What should be my next step? The documentation says I need to install VMware server.
Are VMware server and Oracle VM server the same?
can we replace one with other.
I am a newbie.. Please spare my questions.

hi,
your vm ware server is ok.. but you should install same o/s for RAC..
remove the linux and install windows and try RAC node in vmware..
or try install linux
