Oracle RAC Test on VMWare Linux + openfiler SAN/NAS storage

For people who don't want to spend much money on SAN storage just for the purpose of testing Oracle RAC feature.
One of the option you can do is installing VMWare on your computer and set up 2 Linux virtual servers on it. You will also need another virtual server to set up as openfiler to act as SAN storage. The hardware requirement you need to have are 3 GB of memory, 50 GB of hard disk (excluding your host OS space).
For more information on how to do this you can drop in to http://www.oracledba.ca/ there are step by step + image guide for you.
