Quick Start Manual

22 Installing and Configuring

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 will attempt 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.

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 and ocfs2 RPMs. If the operating

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

oracle asm and ocfs2 RPMs from the ULN channel. If the operating system on

your system is RHEL, then this script installs the oracle asm and ocfs2 RPMs

from the /dell-oracle-deployment/rpms directory.

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

deployment/logs folder.
