Shared Storage

Post by tad_cs »

Hi all,

In the new version, is it possible create shared storage for VMs?

I didnt found a solution for this case to VBox.

I need to simulate Oracle RAC.

Thank you!!!!

Storage can be just about anything and is not a question for VBox percee. If you want more info then give more info.

Hi vbox4me2,

Well, We have 2 guests OS (Linux CentOS - Red Hat) and these guests must access (read and write) at same type a shared virtual disk. This virtual hard disk could be our shared storage.

So, I don't know how to create these shared virtual disks visible and transparent for the mentioned guests.

Thank you!!!!
