Anybody have idea on it?
I tried to set the disk as raw format, and retried the setup process, but still can't get through.
Caveat: I know nothing in particular about Oracle RAC, but... Assuming that RAC uses something like SCSI reservations in order to share the disk, I would guess it doesn't like the disk being on the IDE bus.

We wan't to setup two Oracle instance and make RAC work on them. Both VM are setup based on libvirt + KVM, we use a lvm lun which formated in qcow2 format and set the shareable properties in the disk driver like this:
<disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/> <source dev='/dev/81035c32-d2e4-4aaf-82fa-3e76ae587586/ca18f6a5-7c98-46ea-b562-9424e68a52f3'/> <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> <shareable/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </disk>
But when we use it as shared data disk like we use iscsi/FC disk for shared data disk, the disk can't be recognized as a share disk, and RAC can't be setup in the environment.
Any body can give me some guild on this?
I am wondering shareable in the libvirt config really makes the disk shareable?
How can I setup the RAC environment in this situable?
I found that vmware and vbox can do this according to a blog post, I am wondering if kvm has this ability to make a disk really shareable.
