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 18)).
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=$ORACLE_BASE/product/<oracle version>/db_1
export ORA_CRS_HOME=/mnt/app/crs/oracle/product/<oracle version>/crs
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
SHLIB_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib32
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH SHLIB_PATH
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jre:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib
export CLASSPATH
export DISPLAY={display}:0.0
