Relinking the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle

After installing the Oracle base software or Oracle patches, use the configuration program to relink SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle.

 To relink the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle

1. Launch the installsfrac program. As root user on any one node in the cluster, enter:

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # installsfrac -configure

   By default, the installsfrac program uses ssh for remote communication. However, rsh can be used in instead of SSH by using the "-rsh" option with the installsfrac utility.

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # installsfrac -rsh -configure

2. Enter the system names on which you want to install Oracle9i software and navigate to the Install or relink Oracle menu.
3. Select the version of Oracle software (Oracle 10gR1 or Oracle 10gR2).
4. Select Install Oracle RDBMS server to install Oracle software.
5. In the Oracle user name screen, enter the Oracle UNIX user name when prompted. The installer checks for the user on all systems.
6. In the Oracle Group name screen, enter the name of the Oracle inventory group when prompted. The installer checks for the existence of this group on all systems.
7. In the Oracle base directory screen, specify the base of the Oracle directory structure for OFA compliant databases.
8. In the Database Home Directory screen, specify the location of $ORACLE_HOME.
9. In the Patch Level screen, specify the last two digits of the patch level of Oracle database software being installed or relinked. For example, enter 0.5 for 10.1.0.5; enter 0.2 for 10.2.0.2.
10. The installer utility prints the entered information for verification. Answer "y" if the information displayed is correct, answer "n" otherwise.

    For example:

    Oracle environment information verification

    Oracle Unix user: oracle

    Oracle Unix Group: dba

    Oracle Release: 10.2

    Patch Level: 0.2

    Oracle Base: /app/oracle

    Oracle Home: /app/oracle/orahome

    Is this information correct: [y,n,q] (y)

11. Installer now copies 5.0 SF Oracle RAC libraries to ORACLE_HOME and then relinks Oracle.
