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.
HTH
Aman....

    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:

    Is there anyway I can simulate a rac environment in my pc . Is it possible using Vmware or any other means ?

    My host OS is Windows-7. This docs. says your Host should be Centos OS and in which you will install VMware and Client tools also. In this way u can clone another Rac2 machine.
    But I have Oracle VM Vistual Box installed on Windows-7. Another is VMware Player installed on Windows-7.

  • 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.

  • Cisco ISE installation on VMware Workstation ?

    I am trying to install Cisco ISE image through Vmaware Workstation , but after starting VM getting redhat console but not the same console required for setup of actual ISE . Would like to know whether VMware workstation supported for ISE installation as all the cisco docs specifies the image to be mounted on ESX server, then login to client to run setup.. Please help...

    Cisco "Officially" supports VMWare's ESXi/vSphere platform.  Yes, ISE works in VMWare Workstation, but is not tested on every hardware platform available, therefore, not supported.  The the case mentioned above,
    I've started installing ISE 1.2 (redhat linux 5 64 bit)  , looking at the posts above.. on VMware workstation 9..
    1stly I gave 6gb ram ( my laptop has 6 gb ram & 290gb free space ) and started the installation process..
    then  after the starting stage of checking the requirements of my laptop  started and the formatting of the disk began , my lap became very slow  & it got hanged there..all my pc processes moved like snails..!! got  frustated..
    then I restarted my lap and this time I gave 4gb ram .. and it worked fine from then on..
    can  anyone tell me , if this has to do anthing with the physical memory we  give over there in the ise installtion process..does it actually use the  entire ram we mention over there..??
    Niklas
    All possible System RAM was allocated to the ISE VM, and the ISE VM used ALL of the RAM leaving none for the host OS, thereby slowing the machine to a crawl.  Once this Virtual RAM was sized to the ISE minimum of 4GB (leaving 2GB dedicated to the host OS), the machine worked correctly.  Yes, the ISE VM will happily use ALL the RAM allocated to it.
    This is also the reason that Virtual Box and other "Desktop" class virtualization environments cannot be supported across the board.  Nearly every machine hosting VMWare Workstation, Virtual Box, etc... has a different chipset, video card, HD controller, and on, and on...
    The best thing to do for your situation is to try to install it.  If it works, document your EXACT system configuration and the EXACT virtual configuration so that you may look back to it for future installs.  You can also use this information to "tweak" the virtual settings until you get a combination that works for you.  This will help to document the configurations that do not work on YOUR desktop environment.

  • 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.

  • NIS on solaris9- vmware workstation-

    Hi Admins,
    I just have a doubt on NIS that, is it possible to run NIS on vmware workstation running more than 1 solaris instances.
    i.e. can we setup one solaris instance as master and others as slaves...??
    I have vista on my laptop. I am concern about the domain name it will ask while doing setup...
    I am using dhcp on all solaris 10 instances..
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    I have never tried to install XI on VMware Workstation, but I did on VMware Server.
    We had a Database Load Problem, too. Finally we found out that it is important that the Server Name is written in small letters.
    VMware Templates always change it to capital letters, so you have to make some changes in the registry.
    We run quite a lot XI Test Servers on VMware.

    Hi, I've been reading these forums since switched from slackware and gentoo to arch about 4 years ago. This is the first time I've been unable to fix a problem from searching here or the wiki
    I'm having trouble installing vmware workstation.
    So I recompiled the kernel and nvidia linking it to the .0-ARCH.

  • Creating a thin client network in VMWare Workstation

    I have recently been informed that many our customers have a thin client network in place using Microsoft RDP, Terminal Services / Remote Desktop Services.
    What I would like to do is create a virtual thin client network using Server 2008 | Server 2008 R2 | Server 2012. What I am not certain of is how to emulate the "desktop" environments for the clients and how to configure VMWare to work with this type of network.
    Is this possible?
    I admit that I have never configured a TS before, so hopefully someone here has done this before and can provide some pointers.
    I have been searching Google for information but so far have come up short. Perhaps my search criteria is wrong.
    I have VMWare Workstation 10 and access to MSDN for a number of ISOs.
    Thank you.

Well, nobody is perfect, so maybe you can post the complete config for review? Maybe you used xenbr1 when you should be using xenbr0, or something like that.

  • Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

    Dear Team,
    Thanks in advance. 
    I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
    This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.'' 
    i have tried changing the initial install option of OS  to ''other''. But still its the same.
    Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key. 
    if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

    I have the same problem here.
    With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
    Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message:  ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
    license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
    BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
    Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.

  • Has anyone ever ran Logic using VMWare Workstation on a Windows PC?

    Has anyone ever emulated Mac OS X and used Logic on their x86 Microsoft Windows systems? I was thinking about doing this to use some synths and stuff with some Windows designed software. I'm not sure if it is possible to use both operating systems at the same time with VMWare Workstation operating system emulator. Help me out guys. Has anyone ever done it? Can it be done?

    VMWare Workstation will not run the client version of Mac OS X in emulation, and likely won't run Mac OS X Server either.
