There are some VMware resources for this:

From a vSphere perspective, make sure you follow the best practices. From a vSAN perspective, you will need Object Space Reservation (OSR) to 100% for those VMDK that "shared". Stripe width may come into play, but that depends on how you Oracle RAC servers are configured. Ideally you want to spread the data among many vmdks. this will spread out the objects, rather than having to tweak Stripe width.
