Oracle 11g data guard on vmware

Hello,

I'm not all that familiar with Oracle databases. My DBA team is currently planning on configuring data guard for our 11g environment. Currently it is a single VM using VMDKs stored on iSCSI LUNs. I didn't set up the VM so I don't know why it is the way it is.

My Googling has not been productive, so does anyone have/know of any get instructions for 1. how you would normally set up an 11g VM and 2. how do you configure your VMware environment to support data guard.

Thanks!
