1.hardware spec:
HP ML110 G3 server
Configure spec:
CPU:  Intel 3.0G

2. architecture
                                 windows 2003 standard version
                                                      

                                                 VM 5.5
                                Windows2003----Windows2003

                                                 ASM
Note: all disks locate at VM station are allocated now include the OS partition. Setup one OS, then copy it to other folder, then added it to the VM.
          Add disk to VM with 5.0,12,12,12,12, five disks, and then config the VM configure files: like:
[#
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# SHARED DISK SECTION - (BEGIN)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# -  The goal in meeting the hardware requirements is to have a
#    shared storage for the two nodes. The way to achieve this in
#    VMware is the creation of a NEW SCSI BUS. It has to be of
#    type "virtual" and we must have the disk.locking = "false"
#    option.
# -  Just dataCacheMaxSize = "0" should be sufficient with the
#    diskLib.* parameters, although I include all parameters for
#    documentation purposes.
# -  maxUnsyncedWrites should matter for sparse disks only, and
#    I certainly do not recommend using sparse disks for
#    clustering.
# -  dataCacheMaxSize=0 should disable cache size completely, so
#    other three dataCache options should do nothing (no harm,
#    but nothing good either).
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
#

diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096"
diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0"

disk.locking = "false"

# ----------------------------------------------------------------
#   Create one HBA
# ----------------------------------------------------------------

scsi1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual"
scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"

# ----------------------------------------------------------------
#   Create virtual SCSI disks on single HBA
# ----------------------------------------------------------------

scsi1:0.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:0.fileName = "M:\My Virtual Machines\Workstation 5.0\vmlinux1\Disk1.vmdk"
scsi1:0.redo = ""
scsi1:0.mode = "independent-persistent"
scsi1:0.deviceType = "disk"

scsi1:1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:1.fileName = "M:\My Virtual Machines\Workstation 5.0\vmlinux1\Disk2.vmdk"
scsi1:1.redo = ""
scsi1:1.mode = "independent-persistent"
scsi1:1.deviceType = "disk"

scsi1:2.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:2.fileName = "M:\My Virtual Machines\Workstation 5.0\vmlinux1\Disk3.vmdk"
scsi1:2.redo = ""
scsi1:2.mode = "independent-persistent"

And you should noted that :
1.        delete it from the installed VM machine OS, check the configure files : *.vmx
2.         add the configure above into the config files.
3.        When you rerun the VM machine ,will show a error messages, and you should see the disk that you add in the VM machine are all show at the bottom of the status bar.
3. Prepare the OS to support the RAC.
First: if you OS isn’t on a network with DNS, then you should configure the HOST file manually, The hosts files under the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and added all the hosts setting to you files:
10.6.213.210        rac1
10.6.213.211        rac2
10.6.213.212        rac
10.6.213.213        viprac1
10.6.213.214        viprac2
192.168.1.1        irac1
192.168.1.2        irac2
Note: racX is the public interface of the system, vipracX is visual interface of the system, iracX is private interface of the system.
And you should check the ping with all the OS, should ping success except the vipracX.
4. Important one is prepare the vote disk and CRS disk, and one should be more than 20M, and the other should be more than 100M, and these disk should choose the extension type and then create logical disk without format and not assign the diver letter to it.
5.  Configure the automount at these nodes that should share the disks. Under the cmd line run the command: diskpart—automount enable, after do this ,should restart these nodes to check the share disks is run well and not be assign the disk letter to it.  
6. Install CRS software, fellow the step by the guide.
    a.Cluster setting: cluster name :  public node and private node:
example:
            cluster name:  CRS
            public node: rac1 rac2
            private node: irac1 irac2
     b. setting the interface type:
            10.6.213.0  be public
            192.168.1.X be private
     c. choose not format the disk.
     d. choose the 100M to OCR disk
         choose the 20M to vote disk.
     e. continue install will be OK.
7. Install the Oracle 10G with RAC.
      a. prepare the ASM disk.
          Run the command under the $crs_home\bin\asmtoolg,
          Add the disk to it to create a asm disk group.
      b. Run the 10G install
      c. choose the install type: install to two nodes.
      d. choose database file storage option:  choose ASM
      e.  choose the autobackup and recovery, then choose the ASM option.
      f.  then continue the install .
      g.  setup the VIP configure , choose the  rac1—viprac1 rac2—viprac2.
      h, then should be all ok.
Learning RAC management will be continue…………
