On each node , create or modify the /etc/hosts.equiv file by listing all of your
public IP addresses or host names. For example, if you have one public
hostname, one virtual IP address, and one virtual hostname for each node,
add the following lines:
<public hostname node1> oracle
<public hostname node2> oracle
<virtual IP or hostname node1> oracle
<virtual IP or hostname node2> oracle
11 Log in as oracle , connect to each node to verify that the remote shell (rsh)
command is working by typing:
rsh <public hostname nodex>
where x is the node number.
Verifying Storage Configuration
The following sections describe how to create and adjust the disk partitions for fibre
channel, direct-attached SAS, or iSCSI storage.
Creating Disk Partitions on your Storage
While configuring the clusters, create partitions on your fibre channel, direct-
attached SAS, or iSCSI storage system. To create the partitions, all the nodes must
be able to detect the external storage devices.
NOTE: The procedure in this section describes how to deploy Oracle for Direct-
attached SAS Storage as well as Fibre-Channel Storage. For illustration purposes,
Fibre-Channel Storage nomenclature has been used. If Direct-attached SAS or iSCSI
Storage (MD3000/MD3000i) is used, please use the following reference table to
translate fibre-channel nomenclature to MD3000/MD3000i nomenclature.
