DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 8/13/10 - FOR PROOF ONLY

Run the following script to install the Dell PowerEdge system Component

drivers:

$> ./10-install-Dell-rpms.sh

NOTE: This script installs the supported Dell Dynamic Kernel Module Support

(dkms) drivers located in the /dell-oracle-deployment/rpms folder. The dkms

driver installation requires the presence of the kernel devel RPM in order to

build the modules. This script attempts to automatically download and install

the kernel-devel package from the operating system channel. If the kernel-

devel package is not found on the operating system channel, then you may

have to manually install the kernel-devel package before you install the Dell

dkms drivers through this script.

NOTE: When the kernel is upgraded in a system where the DKMS driver is

installed, after the kernel upgrade, certain DKMS drivers do not rebuild for the

new kernel and get installed as a weak module. By default, the built-in

modules have precedence over the weak modules. Hence the weak DKMS

driver does not get loaded.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use the DKMS driver if it's version is

higher than the module version of the updated kernel. This script also creates

depmod configuration files in the /etc/depmod.d/ folder that will override the

updated kernel's modules for certain DKMS modules. If you wish to use the

updated kernel's modules instead, delete the <module.conf> files created by

this script from the /etc/depmod.d/ folder and run the 'depmod -a' command

to load the native modules.

Run the following script to install the Oracle asm and/or ocfs2 RPMs:

$> ./20-install-oracle-rpms.sh

NOTE: This script installs the Oracle asm RPMs. If the operating system on

your system is OEL, then this script downloads and installs the oracle asm

RPMs from the ULN channel. If the operating system on your system is RHEL,

then this script installs the oracle asm RPMs from the /dell-oracle-

deployment/rpms directory.

Run the following script to setup the ownership and permissions for the

Oracle clusterware and Database installation directories:

$> ./30-oracle-crs-base-permissions.sh

Follow the on screen instructions and continue to set up the permissions.

The Dell|Oracle installation logs can be found in the /dell-oracle-

deployment/logs folder.
