For rac, you are going to need several separate shared disks between the two servers.

You need at least 1 OCR and 1 Voting disk.... no bigger than 100M each. Best practice is to have 2 OCR and 3 Voting, but this is a test environment so that is a bit of overkill. Then you will at least need 1 shared disk for data. My suggestion is to use ASM over ocfs. ASM is far better and most big RAC environments that I have worked on use it.

As much as I love Gentoo, RedHat seems to work best with Oracle. You might want to look at CentOs as the OS to run.

There are pretty comprehensive guides to running Oracle on RedHat here

ORACLE-BASE - Linux and Oracle

That might help you get started.

NAME
cm - cluster monitor for high availability clusters Remarks Cluster operations require the installation of the optional Serviceguard or Serviceguard Extension for RAC software, which is not included in the standard HP-UX operating system. DESCRIPTION
Serviceguard and Serviceguard Extension for RAC are high availability products which provide an environment such that after a failure of a node, services (applications) can be up and running again on another node within a very short amount of time. In addition, Serviceguard Extension for RAC is the enabling software for the Real Application Clusters (RAC). Working with the basic Serviceguard product, Service- guard Extension for Faster Failover allows configuration of clusters for optimized failover. Commands The following set of commands is used to configure a high availability cluster: cmquerycl(1M) cmmakepkg(1M) cmcheckconf(1M) cmapplyconf(1M) The following commands are used to run or halt a cluster: cmruncl(1M) cmhaltcl(1M) cmrunnode(1M) cmhaltnode(1M) cmviewcl(1M) Once a cluster is formed, the following commands are provided for manual operation on high availability packages: cmrunpkg(1M) cmhaltpkg(1M) cmmodpkg(1M) The following commands are used within a package control script to control the services and networks configured for a package: cmrunserv(1M) cmhaltserv(1M) cmmodnet(1M) A command is provided to aid in migrating from a SwitchOver/UX configuration to a Serviceguard cluster: cmmigrate(1M) This command is not applicable with Serviceguard Extension for RAC.
