Installing Oracle 10g RAC Binaries
The following sample steps for a SGeRAC cluster for Oracle 10g. Refer to the Oracle
documentation for Oracle installation details.
Installing RAC Binaries on a Local File System
Logon as a “oracle” user:
$ export ORACLE BASE=/mnt/app/oracle
$ export DISPLAY={display}:0.0
$ cd <10g RAC installation disk directory>
$ ./runInstaller
Use following guidelines when installing on a local file system:
1. In this example, the path to ORACLE_HOME is on a local file system
/mnt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
2. Select installation for database software only.
3. When prompted, run root.sh on each node.
Installing RAC Binaries on Cluster File System
Logon as a “oracle” user:
$ export ORACLE BASE=/cfs/mnt1/oracle
$ export DISPLAY={display}:0.0
$ cd <10g RAC installation disk directory>
$ ./runInstaller
Use following guidelines when installing on a local file system:
1. In this example, the path to ORACLE_HOME is locate on a CFS directory
/cfs/mnt1/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
2. Select installation for database software only.
3. When prompted, run root.sh on each node.
Creating a RAC Demo Database
This section demonstrates the steps for creating a demo database with datafiles on raw
volumes with SLVM or CVM, or with Cluster File System (on HP-UX releases that
support them; see “About Veritas CFS and CVM from Symantec” (page 25)).
Creating a RAC Demo Database on SLVM or CVM
Export environment variables for “oracle” user:
export ORACLE_BASE=/mnt/app/oracle
export \ DBCA_RAW_CONFIG=/mnt/app/oracle/oradata/ver10/ver10_raw.conf
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1
