I have two physical servers with 8GB of RAM on one and 4GB of RAM on the other. I tried Oracle VM and Oracle Virtual Box both unsuccessful and a lot of times wasted. These two physical servers (not VMS) both have RHEL 5 with update 5 installed on them. I am a Senior Database Analyst and am in the process of getting my OCE (Oracle Certified Export) certification for Grid Infrastructure for Oracle 11g R2. I have plenty of spaces on both server and both servers has 2 NIC card each, one onboard, and the other on a PCI slot. I also have a personal PC , HP, that is with 3GB of RAM and 500GB of space and , of course , an on board NIC card for internet access and windows 7 home premium OS installed. Here is my question: Is it possible that I can install Openfiler software in this PC and have a 1 TB external USB hard drive hooked up to it and set it up as a Shared Storage device for my two servers to access it when I install Oracle 11gR2 RAC software on those two servers? Do I need one extra NIC card on each of my servers to communicate privately to this PC for Shared Storage access? Will this setup be technically feasible? I will really look forward to your technical advice. Please respond to me via email. I am also sending this to you via your email so that I could have in mailbox. Cheers, Kabbo Hello Simon,
