vmware workstation 9 rac vmx file setting . oifcfg

here I create scsi1:0 scsi1:1 scsc1:2 scsc1:3 scsc1:4 scsc1:5 disk on vmware workstation 9 and modified the vmx for both nodes by adding the following lines : the locking and sharedbus are the key for the shared disk when creating oracle crs service.

scsi1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"

scsi1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"

scsi1.sharedBus = "VIRTUAL"

disk.locking = "FALSE"

diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096"
diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0"

cluster error handing: very easy

./oifcfg geif

./oifcfg setif -global eth0/192.168.1.0:public

./oifcfg setif -global eth1/192.168.0.0:cluster_interconnect

/LD_ASSUME and comment out the section for vipca and srvctl file
