Shared storage in terms of multiple vm's accessing the same storage or multiple ESX hosts using the same storage? For vm, you need to use this guide: https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/vi3_35_25_u1_mscs.pdf

Dear kjb007

thanks for your answer, can you please refer some document related to shared storage with multiple ESX hosts.

Oracle RAC is not supported in ESX's VM.

Anyway you can try to make it work following the same instructions to build a MSCS on ESX:

Dear Friends

I want to use the shared storage on Linux based operating system, so please refer to guides which refer for linux based shared storage clusters.

Thanks in advance

The microsoft cluster guide presents how to setup the shared storage. Instead of the microsoft cluster setup, you can substitute your own clustering, but the disk and storage configuration from the vmware virtual machine perspective would be the same as for Microsoft cluster.
