Unable to access shared folder in Oracle Linux 6 VM from Windows 10 host

Hello ,

I’m currently working on building my personal RAC environment for which when I try to access shared folder that I have shared through my Virtualbox manager from host maching Windows 10 it shows there is no such device when I tried to mount the directory

Done as below:

logged in as oracle user and turned root through terminal

mkdir /media/oracle_sw

mount -t vboxsf oracle_sw /media/oracle_sw

which shows no such device

I also have installed VBox utils ,headers and devel packages at the time of VM build.

working with RAC creation as per the below URL:

Thanks in advance.
