In this blog post, we are going to install Oracle 11.2.0.3 64-bit on CentOS 6.3 using VMware Workstation 8. Given that Oracle no longer offers ASMLib for non Oracle branded Linux, we are going to use UDEV rules to manage the disk presentation to ASM.
In my 10-part post on installing Oracle RAC on VMware Workstation I deliberately used an excessive number of screen shots to guide readers through the process. This time I am going to assume you are already comfortable with the Oracle GUI installers, and will skip over excess details to condense this down into a single blog post.
