Installing Oracle10g Database Soware
While installing Oracle10g database soware, you have the opon of creang a Starter Database. In this example, creaon of the
Starter Database will be delayed, in order to explain the technique of creang a database at any me outside of the soware
installaon roune. Use the following procedure to perform a soware-only install:
1. Insert the Oracle Database10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2) CD-ROM. Either the autorun.exe will execute automacally, or you
must navigate to the autorun.exe le and execute it manually.
2. On the “Welcome” page, click “Next”.
3. In the “File Locaons” page, the “”Source” eld automacally points to the products.xml le. In the “Target” eld, enter
the Oracle Home path (NOT the same as the CRS Home). Click “Next”.
4. In the “Selected Nodes” page, check that all cluster nodes are displayed. Click “Next”. The OUI validates that all nodes
may be reached via the network, that the Oracle Home is writable on all nodes, and also validates user equivalence. If there
is a problem, a warning message will be displayed. If so, check the log in OraInventory\logs\installAconsdate_me.log
5. In the “Specify Hardware Installaon Mode” page, choose “Cluster Informaon Mode”. The OUI validates that all nodes
may be reached via the network, that the Oracle Home is writable on all nodes, and also validates user equivalence. If
there is a problem, a warning message will be displayed. If so, check the log in
system_drive:\Program Files\Oracle\Invento ry\logs\installAconsdate_me.log
6. On the “Install Type” page, select “Enterprise Edion”. Click “Next”.
7. The “Prerequisite Check” page veries that OS requirements are met and sets the Oracle Base directory. Click “Next”.
8. In the “Create a Starter Database” page, choose “Do not create a starter database”. Click “Next”.
9. In the “Summary” page, click “Install”. The OUI installs soware on the local node, then on the remote nodes. You
must run the VIP Conguraon Assistant aer the install is completed. vipca.bat is located in the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
directory and must be executed aer the install completes.
10. In the “VIPCA Welcome” page, review the displayed informaon, and then click “Next”.
11. On the “Public Network Interfaces” page, choose the NICs that you want to use for Virtual IP Addresses for the cluster.
Click “Next”.
12. On the “IP Address” page, enter an unused IP address for each node in the cluster. Click “Next”.
13. In the “Summary” page, review the displayed informaon and click “Finish”. A progress dialog appears while the VIPCA
congures the virtual IP addresses, starts the GSD, and starts the Oracle Nocaon Service Node Applicaons. When the
conguraon completes, click “OK”.
14. In the “Conguraon Results” page, review the informaon, and click “Exit” to leave the VIPCA.
Creang an Oracle Database
The Database Creaon Assistant makes it easy to create a cluster-enabled database. The database installed by DBCA is commonly
referred to as a “seed” database. The seed database may be used for tesng or for a “starter” database with the default parameters.
However, by using custom installaon opons, it is possible to build a robust database that is capable of supporng producon. This
document will outline the steps to create a custom database.
