Installing Oracle 11g R1 Database RAC 27
27 Perform the following steps on each node :
a Determine the database instance that exists on that node by typing:
srvctl status database -d <database name>
b Type the following commands to add the ORACLE_SID environment
variable entry in the
oracle user profile:
echo "export ORACLE_SID=racdbx" >>
/home/oracle/.bash_profile
source /home/oracle/.bash_profile
where racdbx is the database instance identifier assigned to the node.
This example assumes that
racdb is the global database name that you
defined in DBCA.
28 On one node , type:
srvctl status database -d dbname
where dbname is the global identifier name that you defined for
the database in DBCA.
If the database instances are running, confirmation is displayed
on the screen.
If the database instances are
not running, type:
srvctl start database -d dbname
where dbname is the global identifier name that you defined for
the database in DBCA.
