I managed to get this concept working w/ VMWare 4.5.2 (512MB VM), FC2 and 9iRAC w/ 2 instances on one node. Of course, if I can do it in VMWare, it can be done natively (obliviously ;) It was painful, but it's doable! (I still have the proof!) __Unfortunately__, I've since lost my notes (D'OH!!!) but I can assure you it is doable. I did this project this past summer, and those brain cells have since been hit by "grey hair syndrome" ;)

I did have success following the dizwell instructions on Windoze, but once I restarted the system, the RAC config wouldn't function properly again. Hence the FC2 config ;) Big thing you have to get done is the shared datafiles (RAC config files) and to get Oracle's clustering stuff to run. Once you beat these, the rest (if I recall) was a snap -- given some RAC experience, of course. ;)

Concur -- Google IS your friend for this (Google Groups in particular), as is MetaLink, AskTom, etc...
