RAC setup at home

569820Apr 25 2010 — edited Jul 28 2010

Hi,

I have been using Oracle 9i and 10g for several years and have worked extensively in all DBA tasks for single instance databases. But I have never worked with Oracle RAC. I have read a lot of RAC details on internet, but it seems it is not possible to setup an experimental RAC setup at home, because we need a shared disk storage.

I have 2 PCs (1 laptop, 1 desktop) at home, both have Windows XP SP2, and Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) installed. I have now bought a separate 500 GB extenal USB hard disk, now my question is: Can I use the 2 computers and the external HDD to set up a RAC installation at home? if yes, can somebody please give me some overview of the steps involved for this?

An early reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
