I'm setting up a test RAC environment with the following.
WMware Server 2.0
Host OS Windows 7
Guest OS OEL 5.4
Oracle ASMLib
I have been able to do the initial install of the clusterware software on the 2 nodes. My issue appears on reboot. The ASM disks that I created using oracleasm command disappear. As long as I don't reboot I'm fine.
Below is my latest configuration on the vmware side. Any thoughts out there on how to get this to work?
