If you want to Configure VirtualBox Version 5.0.20 Machine for 2 Node RAC & Install Linux 6.4 on both node follow the below link.




Step 1: Make Sure your both Server should be shutdown then Select your machine "11g_node01" and click on "Setting" option to add addition disks for ASM Disk. 


Step 2: Setting dialog box will popup, Select "Storage" option and In General choose "Controller:SATA" option, and click on + sing at right side.



Step 3: "VirtualBox - Question" dialog box will popup, Click on "Create New Disk".


Step 4: Same popup window will show different option "Hard disk file typechoose "VDI (Virtualbox disk Image)" option and click on "Next".


Step 5: Same popup window will show different option "Storage on physical hard diskchoose "Fixed Size" option and click on "Next".



 Step 6: Same popup window will show different option "File location and size" click on  "folder icon".



Step 8: Select directory "11g_Shared" to save disks for ASM.



Step 9:  In my case I have saved in "11g_shared" directory as the name of "ASM_11g_RAC_disk01".


Step 10:  I have took "06.00 GB" for one disk and click on "Create"


Step 11:  Fixed disk creation in-progress for ASM.


Step 12:  Like Step 2 to Step 11 you have to create more disks for FRA, OCR & Voting disk. I have created total "6 disk" as below showed in Storage option. My disks name are "ASM_11g_RAC_disk01 (6 GB)", "ASM_11g_RAC_disk02 (6 GB) ", "ASM_11g_RAC_FRA01 (12 GB)", "ASM_11g_RAC_vote_OCR01 (2 GB)", "ASM_11g_RAC_vote_OCR02 (2 GB) ", "ASM_11g_RAC_vote_OCR03 (2 GB)".


Step 12:  Now make all created disk Shareable so Click on "File" of VirtualBox and select "Virtual Media Manager


Step 13:  Now Select 1 by 1 all disk which you have created and click on "Modify"


Step 13:  Now one dialog box will open "Modify Medium Attributes", click on "Shareable" and click on "OK", Do for all the disk 1 by 1 whatever disk you want to make shareable. 



Step 14:  Now try to attach these disks in node-2, so select node "11g_node02" and click on "Settings". 


Step 15: Setting dialog box will popup, Select "Storage" option and In General choose "Controller:SATA" option, and click on + sing at right side.


Step 16: "VirtualBox - Question" dialog box will popup, This time you have to Click on "Choose existing disk".


Step 17: Add 1 by 1 all existing disks in node-2 which you have created for ASM, Voting and OCR disks.


Step 18: Now you can see in below image I have added all disks in node-2







Happy Sharing and Learning :)
