I am using Windows 2000 Professional on VMware gsx 3.2.0. <BR/> <BR/>To create raw devices I followed the same procedure as you had given for creating Raw devices for ASM during RAC installation. After creation, I made them RAW through Disk Managment. I rebooted the system. (In Windows 2000, so automount is enabled by default) <BR/> <BR/>The Oracle software is installed in c:\ The ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME has correct paths.<BR/>When I run the dbca, I choose the option Raw devices for storage type. As I continue with the installation, it fails during "Raw device Validation Check" for pfile and again for control file. <BR/> <BR/>It is taking the Path: {ORACLE_BASE}/oradata/{DB_UNIQUE_NAME}/<BR/>I tried to change the path to: \Device\Harddisk9\Partition1\<BR/>But still it is giving the same error.<BR/> <BR/>1. I would like to know if the way I'm creating Raw device is correct? <BR/>2. Does the Raw device mean the same as for ASM?<BR/>3. How should I install the database using Raw devices option?<BR/> <BR/>Please reply as soon as possible.<BR/><BR/>Thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17416692.post-1141405207933284522006-03-03T18:00:00.000+01:002006-03-03T18:00:00.000+01:00Hi Raji,When I was installing RAC, initially I had...Hi Raji,<BR/><BR/>When I was installing RAC, initially I had faced with the same problem i.e., "Error in creating directory Q:\csdata\crs"<BR/><BR/>In the "Specify Disk Configuration" window, if I tried to change the drive letter (i.e., to Q:, R:, S: as in the sample given by Tarry) other than the default drive letter that is assigned, I used to get this error.

First when I start the workstation, I get a message "Clustering is not supported for VMWare Workstation. This setting will be ignored" I suppose that says it all, but just to go forward with the 10GR2 RAC install, it will confirm the previous message with an Oracle install error "Error in creating directory Q:\csdata\crs" and I am locked her. Do you have any suggestions to go forward.<BR/>Alwyse thanks for your help.<BR/><BR/>RajiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17416692.post-1139425006967837192006-02-08T19:56:00.000+01:002006-02-08T19:56:00.000+01:00That is great news.

The "blue screen" of death could also be an issue with VMware and Windows installation. <BR/><BR/>What version is it 2003 standard or enterprize?<BR/><BR/>By the way, did you try getting the free VMware Server? It's the free GSX version?

Thanks a lot for all the help and guidance. <BR/><BR/>When I was installing Database, suddenly the node from which I was installing crashed i.e., I got a blue system crash error. But the error said that the system has crashed because of some newly installed hardware or software, and to remove it. It said that if it was the first time, then I could restart. <BR/><BR/>I restarted and it was working fine. The database was also installed properly and I was able to continue with the other installations. <BR/><BR/>Do you know why I got the error? I got the same error on the same node twice while installing Database and DBCA. Both the times I restarted and it worked fine. Is it going to cause any problem?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17416692.post-1139409238735228972006-02-08T15:33:00.000+01:002006-02-08T15:33:00.000+01:00I'm not sure if the mem limit is 512Mb, Aamer but ...I'm not sure if the mem limit is 512Mb, Aamer but it's a lot below the acceptable level. <BR/><BR/>The OUI will giev you warnings of low mem. <BR/><BR/>Can you try to install it on a machine with some more capacity? Also since the VMware Server (a free version of GSX server) has been set free. Can you try it?
