Nicola,
I think the key is to get a hold of a good install guide. At times the
general Oracle install guides cover many options and so for an initial RAC
install it might be hard/confusing. Try this guide for 10g, hosted on
this website:
http://www.microsoft-oracle.com/oracledb/Pages/Whitepapers.aspx
Direct link to PDF is:

Not sure if you are a Windows or Linux user or both.. but I've met a few
Windows users that found the Linux world confusing and vice versa.. In
any event, hope this guide will get your install going, and if you have
any Oracle RAC Windows install issues you might try the OTN RAC forum at:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=140
This ocfs2-users mailing list is for the open source Linux implementation
of OCFS2..
Good luck,
Saar.

Subject: [Ocfs2-users] mixed environment / why is setting up an oracle cluster
on windows so hard?
hello everybody
I successfully installed a *very* small two node cluster with a shared volume
on linux (both debian, one x86, one ARM [laugh not: NSLU2 :)]).
before that, I tried to install the "clusterware" package on my windows xp
box and it constantly complained about the three different ip addresses it
wanted to see, then I got so frustrated with numerous manual hosts-file
changes, loopback adapter installations, and finally the installer not
letting me do interface orderings myself (my "private" adapter became always
the main node name etc.) that I eventually just quit trying.
why is installation on linux so easy and almost works out of the box, while
setting up the same thing on windows is massive PITA?
and, if I eventually would manage to install clusterware on windows - would
it play nicely with the linux boxes in a "mixed" cluster?
btw, I glanced through the archives of the last months (since there seems to
be no searchable archive), but did not find any posts about this rather open
question.
thanks & regards
nicola
