Sample Configuration with HP Serviceguard Extension for RAG and Oracle Real Application Clusters 11g release 2 using Cluster File System

Create the Oracle user home and modify the Oracle user to the new home directory on each node.

# mkdir /home/oracle

# chown oracle:oinstall /home/oracle

# usermod –d /home/oracle oracle

Change password on each node

# passwd oracle

Set up ssh without a password for the Oracle user on all nodes—alternatively, this can be done

during Oracle 11g R2 Clusterware installation using Oracle installer.

Note: In this sample configuration, a single user has been created to manage both the Grid

Infrastructure and the RAC database. If you want to create a separate Grid Infrastructure user, see

Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide 11gR2 for HP-UX:

Create symbolic links

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17211.pdf

This is required if Motif 2.1 Development Environment Package is not installed.

# ln -s /usr/lib/libX11.3 /usr/lib/libX11.sl

# ln -s /usr/lib/libXIE.2 /usr/lib/libXIE.sl

# ln -s /usr/lib/libXext.3 /usr/lib/libXext.sl

# ln -s /usr/lib/libXhp11.3 /usr/lib/Xhp11.sl

# ln -s /usr/lib/libXi.3 /usr/lib/libXi.sl

# ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.4 /usr/lib/libXm.sl

# ln -s /usr/lib/libXp.2 /usr/lib/libXp.sl

# ln -s /usr/lib/libXt.3 /usr/lib/libXt.sl

# ln -s /usr/lib/libXtst.2 /usr/lib/libXtst.sl

Create file system for Oracle directories

In the following samples,

/u01/app is a mounted file system for Oracle software. Assume that there is

a private disk (

disk21) with 18 GB storage capacity on all nodes. Create the local file system on each

node.

# umask 022

# pvcreate /dev/rdisk/disk21

# mkdir /dev/vg01

# mknod /dev/vg01/group c 64 0x010000

# vgcreate /dev/vg01 /dev/disk/disk21

# lvcreate –L 16000 /dev/vg01

# newfs –F vxfs /dev/vg01/rlvol1

# mkdir –p /u01/app

# mount /dev/vg01/lvol1 /u01/app

# chmod 775 /u01/app

# chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app
