Step 1: Pre-requisites
Before Start my installation, the below recommanded Memory Configuration needed for you. In this
case onle you can smoothly install RAC .
If you’re plan to Install Two node RAC on your virtual machine, Each node want atleast minimum 2GB
RAM as per Oracle 11gR2 Installation recommand. So you need atelast minimum 6GB RAM for your
laptop. 4 GB for Virtual Machine, remaining for your windows .

RPM Packages
Now Restart the NODE 1 racnode1 machine and after restarted, partition your disks like below
ASMLIB Install
Manually clone the racnode1.vdi disk using the following commands on the host server.
Create the "racnode2" virtual machine in VirtualBox in the same way as you did for
"racnode1", with the exception of using an existing racnode2.vdi virtual hard drive.
Edit hosts
ssh configure
racnode1
racnode2
racnode2
11gR2 we would probably use the "runcluvfy.sh" utility in the clusterware root directory to check the
prerequisites have been met.
Check whether the created database on both node working properly or not.
