To install the SF Oracle RAC software, you may use the Symantec common product installer with the -installonly
option or the installsfrac
script with -installonly
option.
The common product installer offers a high-level approach to installing multiple products along with Symantec Product Authentication Service, Veritas Cluster Management Console, and Veritas Central Management Server. Each of these products and features are covered in depth in their respective product guides.
The common product installer is the recommended method to license and install the product. The installer also enables you to configure the product, verify pre-installation requirements, and view the product's description. At most points during an installation, you can type b ("back") to return to a previous section of the installation procedure. The back feature of the installation scripts is context-sensitive, so it returns to the beginning of a grouped section of questions. If an installation procedure hangs, use Control-c to stop and exit the program. There is a short delay before the script exits.
The installsfrac
-installonly
script offers a more direct approach to specifically installing SF Oracle RAC. The script takes the user only through the installation of packages.
Note
If you have obtained a Veritas product from an electronic download site, the single product download files do not contain the installer
installation script, so you must use the product installation script to install the product. For example, if you download Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, use the installsfrac
script instead of the installer
script.
Note
Configuring the software with the installsfrac
-configure
script occurs after you install the product and run required system checks.
