Don't assume you will be able to run this on a small PC or laptop. Following on from the last point, the RAC node VMs will each need at least 6G of RAM, but you will see I used 10G for each, and it was still slow.As you can imagine, this requires a significant amount of disk space, CPU and memory. The finished system includes the host operating system, three guest operating systems, two sets of Oracle Grid Infrastructure (Clusterware + ASM) and two Database instances all on a single machine.I will be describing the contents of the Vagrant builds, so there will be links to the actual scripts on GitHub, rather than repeating them here.īefore you launch into this installation, here are a few things to consider.
#VAGRANT UPGRADE MANUAL#
In previous releases I gave walk through of a manual installation, but this doesn't really make sense as you shouldn't be installing anything this way anymore, so instead I'm discussing a silent installation. In addition, it allows you to set up shared virtual disks, overcoming the obstacle of expensive shared storage. Using VirtualBox you can run multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) on a single server, allowing you to run both RAC nodes on a single machine. A cheaper alternative is to use virtualization to fake the shared storage. In a production environment, shared storage is often provided by a SAN or high-end NAS device, but both of these options are very expensive when all you want to do is get some experience installing and using RAC. One of the biggest obstacles preventing people from setting up test RAC environments is the requirement for shared storage. If you are comfortable with VirtualBox, Vagrant and RAC you might want to jump straight to the GitHub repository and use the basic instructions here.
