Is it possible to add both RAW and virtual disks to a virtual machine?
For a VM that will run an Oracle DB instance (SE2), I am thinking of using virtual disks for the OS and Oracle binaries, and RAW disks for the Oracle datafiles.
The RAW disks would be in RAID1, mirrored to a secondary storage array. A second VM on a second physical host would be able to mount the database from the secondary storage unit in case of failover.
This is not a cluster, but a failover scenario.
Thanks
