Oracle 12cR1 12.1.0.1 2-node RAC on CentOS 6.4 on VMware Workstation 9 – Part I
Time Required: 60 minutes
Class Materials:
- 60GB of free disk
- An operational VMware Workstation 9 or later install
- CentOS 6.4 64-bit ISO install media
To create our Oracle 12c RAC database on VMware Workstation 9, we first need to create a Linux VM.
Oracle 12c will eventually be released for a multitude of platforms, but the initial release only support Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86 and Oracle Linux 6.4.
I don’t own a SPARC machine, so instead I am going to install Oracle 12c RAC on CentOS 6.4.
Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.3 2-node RAC on Windows 2008 on VMware Workstation 9 – Intro
A while back I put together a very detailed ten step process to create a simple two-node RAC on VMware Workstation using Red Hat Linux 5.5.
There were already many blog posts on creating RAC systems, including some using VMware, but partly because I felt that none of them were detailed for someone not already an expert in Linux, and partly because I wanted to learn for myself, I created my own.
