Yeah, I know it's a daft idea, but if anyone's going to learn what RAC can do for them, they're going to need to be able to knock one up on their single home PC to get familiar with the concepts.

VMWare is looking pretty damned sexy at the moment (yeah, I know I live a sheltered life).

But has anyone knocked up a VMWare-based RAC on a Windows 2000 box? I currently have 4 virtual machines on the one PC, running 9iR2 quite fine, and the course notes on Advanced Replication and Standby Databases with Data Guard are coming on a treat. But now for the biggie: how the hell do you go about clustering virtual machines?!

Any tips, greatfully received.
