Hi All,
Need one small help.
We are setting RAC between two machines(Desktop PC connected wirth LAN ....have storage Local to them and no Shared storage..Only NFS).
We have shared the mount point by NFS.
We do not have any shared storage but we need to share the RAW files to setup the OCR and VOTING DISKS.
The problem is:
1. We need to keep the RAW devices for OCR and voting disk common to the machines (Desktop PC..both Linux OELU5). I am able to create the raw file systems but that is local to one machine. I am not able to understand how to share the raw devices between two machines.
2. Tried to use ISCSI utility but that did not work. (How_to_use_iSCSI_Targets_on_Linux)
Any help?
Scenario : One Machine has 500 GB Storage. Second machine has 80 GB Storage. Made private and public networks(Used two Network cards in LAN). All are communicating.
Problem : Need to make the storage 300GB (Out of 500 GB) of Machine 1 as shared storage. How can we do that? (Do we need any virtual software...ex .. vmware for that?)
Thanks in advance

Are you sure you can use NFS? I didn't think that was possible with 10g.
The only solution I can think of that might work would be to create partitions for vote disk, OCR, and ASM disks on your 500G disc, export them as an iSCSI target, and mount them on both machines with the iSCSI initiator. You'll probably have to download the iSCSI RPMs from sourceforge.
But the whole exercise is useless: it would never work in a production environment, and for education there is no point in using such out-of-date products.
