Database Software

I have been setting up RAC environments in VirtualBox and VMWare in my local machine and in our test server. I have done the following setup:

1. RAC 10g on RHEL 5.4 (VMWare / VBox)
2. RAC 11g on RHEL 5.4 (VBox)
3. RAC 11g on Windows Server 2008 (VBox)

Now, our management wants me to setup a 2-node RAC in real world. Cost is not an issue here as this will be financed by a big private group.
I am excited to do the project as I am really enthusiastic in database clustering. Of course, there is a little nervous feeling since this is
my first time doing it in real world (as the best RAC expert started from his first deployment :) ).

I am going to build RAC 11.2.0.1.0 in Windows Server 2008

I would like to seek advise on:

- the best practices, what are the things that I have to consider?
- any straight forward real world deployment guide or technical papers that can serve as my reference
- any issues that I might encounter
- any help and feedback

I know I can be successful in this first time project if ill seek advise to the experts.

I hope you can help me and I will be glad to read and review your contributions.

Thanks a lot.....
