I have tryied change the disk bus to SCSI, add a SCSI controller whose model is virtio-scsi, still can't setup the RAC instance. I tried to use windows 2008 Failover Cluster feature to setup a a Failover Cluster instead, and I can't find any cluster disk to share between two nodes. So when Failover Cluster is setup, I can't add any Cluster disk to the Failover Cluster. Have I missed some thing?
