Configure multipathing for RAC VMs in virtualbox

flying_penguinJun 14 2015 — edited Jun 15 2015

OS version: Oracle Linux 6.5

Grid Infrastructure (RAC Clusterware) version: 11.2.0.4

I am setting up a 2-node RAC in my Laptop using VirtualBox. I am using Virtual Box's shared disk feauture.

I am not planning to use ASMLib .

The disk device names should be consistent across reboots.

For example, the disk with WWID 36006016008903100aa4202dc2f9de311 may be named /dev/sdb now. But, it may be named /dev/sdc after a reboot.

So, if my understanding is correct, even if you are using ASMLib, you will stillneed multipathing.

I gather that the contents of /etc/multipath.conf is vendor specific. But, in Virtualbox's case, what should the contents be ?

Does anyone have a sample of /etc/multipath.conf used in virtualbox ?
