About creating a starter database

The optional procedures to create a starter database describe methods for creating a starter database on shared storage.

Use you own tools or refer to the guidelines below on using the Oracle dbca (Database Creation Assistant) tool to create a database on shared raw VxVM volumes or shared VxFS file systems.

If you installed the Oracle binary on shared storage (CFS), Symantec recommends using a different file system for the Oracle datafiles. The Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC configuration wizard does not support the use of a single file system for the binary and the datafiles.
