The best way I have found to understand RAC basics is to build a RAC on vmware or virtual box. And use iscsi to set up your shared disks, having to configure the drives from a storage server is much more realistic than just sharing the virtual disk files. You learn a lot by doing it yourself. For that matter, these days you can find some pretty cheap desktop class machines, install OEL, and build your own physical cluster. The biggest expense I had when building a physical cluster was the additional network cards and switches I purchased because I wanted to get it as close to a real implementation as I could while keeping the price less than $1000.
