Configuring the Storage Using ASM
To configure your cluster using ASM, perform the following steps on all nodes:
1
Log in as root .
2 Type the following commands to change and identify the names of the raw character devices:
mv /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/raw/ASM1
mv /dev/raw/raw5 /dev/raw/ASM2
3
Type the following commands to set user oracle ownership of the Datafile disk and Flashback
Recovery disk:
chown oracle.dba /dev/raw/ASM1
chown oracle.dba /dev/raw/ASM2
4
For a Fibre Channel cluster, on the first node, create one partition on each of the other two external
storage devices with
fdisk :
a Ty p e fdisk /dev/emcpowerx and create a primary partition for the entire device.
Ty p e
h for help within the fdisk utility.
b Ty p e cat /proc/partitions to verify that the new partition exists.
If you do not observe the new partition, type:
sfdisk -R /dev/<device name>
5 Edit the /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices file and add the following lines for a Fibre Channel cluster:
/dev/raw/ASM1 /dev/emcpowerb1
/dev/raw/ASM2 /dev/emcpowerc1
6
Ty p e service rawdevices restart to restart the Raw Devices Service.
Installing Oracle RAC 10g
This section describes the steps required to install Oracle RAC 10g version 10.1.0.3, which involves
installing CRS and installing the Oracle Database 10g software. Dell recommends that you create a seed
database to verify that the cluster works correctly before you deploy it in a production environment.
Installing CRS
1 Log in as root .
2 Ty p e startx to start the X Window System.
3 Open a terminal window and type:
xhost +
4
Mount the Oracle Cluster Ready Services CD.
