环境

一台笔记本电脑，Windows操作系统，安装了VirtualBox，Vagrant，Github。
笔记本内存至少16G。使用外置硬盘，最终实际消耗112GB。

目标

两节点RAC。操作系统Oracle Linux 7，数据库版本支持12.2，18从和19c。本例测试的是19c。
实例名为ORCLCDB，带一个可插拔数据库orclpdb1。

克隆项目

git clone https://github.com/oracle/vagrant-boxes.git

进入vagrant-boxes\OracleRAC目录。其中的README.md有详细的操作过程。

拷贝安装介质

需要下载对应版本的数据库和GI介质并拷贝到ORCL_software目录下。19.3版本介质约6GB。

cd vagrant-boxes/OracleRAC/ORCL_software
cp LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip .
cp LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip .

修改配置

默认的RAC节点配置为8GB，由于笔记本只有16G内存，因此把单节点内存配置改为6G，在config/vagrant.yml文件中修改：

node1:
  vm_name: node1
  mem_size: 6144
  cpus: 2
  public_ip:  192.168.56.101
  vip_ip:     192.168.56.103
  private_ip: 192.168.200.101
  u01_disk: ./node1_u01.vdi

node2:
  vm_name: node2
  mem_size: 6144
  cpus: 2
  public_ip:  192.168.56.102
  vip_ip:     192.168.56.104
  private_ip: 192.168.200.102
  u01_disk: ./node2_u01.vdi

如果内存小于6G，vagrant up会报如下错误：

ERROR: vm1_mem_size option can not be less then 6 Gb
config/vagrant.yml, mem_size: 6144

启动安装

启动命令如下：

vagrant up

安装非常顺利，总共耗时2小时29分：

可以看到无论是安装，还是运行，资源都是和紧张的，这是由于笔记本内存不足导致的，如有可能，可以在公有云上进行此实验：

整个安装过程实际创建了两个虚机，本例为ol7-193-node1和ol7-193-node2。VirtualBox很贴心，还为这两个虚机建立一个分组：ol7-193-gi:

安装日志较长，以下截取了一部分：

这里停了很久，因为需要准备RAC节点磁盘和共享存储。
然后到第1个节点：

空间占用

基本的操作系统位于VirtualBox默认目录下，两个节点（虚机）合计占用空间4.2G。
此外，Vagrant为每个节点又各挂接一块100G磁盘，实际各占用空间15G。另外还有4块20GASM共享磁盘，实际占用80G。这几块磁盘位于Vagantfile所在目录，如下图所示：

所以本实验实际占用空间=4.2+15*2+80=114.2GB。

验证

使用vagrant ssh或vagrant putty（需安装插件，vagrant plugin install vagrant-multi-putty）可以登录数据库主机。我用后者，界面更一致和美观。
以下为进入主机后的操作

[vagrant@oracle-19c-vagrant ~]$ sudo -s
[root@oracle-19c-vagrant vagrant]# su - oracle
