Creating a starter database for Oracle 10g

Create the database in a shared raw volume or a cluster file system. Before you begin, review these prerequisites:

• CRS daemons must be running.

  To verify the status of CRS, type:

  # $CRS_HOME/bin/crs_stat

• All private IP addresses on each node must be up.

  Use the ping command to verify that all private IP addresses on each node are up.

Depending on where you want to create the starter database, review one of the procedures:

• Creating Oracle 10g database on raw volumes
• Creating Oracle 10g database on CFS

Refer to the Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions on how to install the Oracle 10g database. You can create the database in a shared raw volume or in a cluster file system. The following paragraphs describe creating volumes for the database tablespaces or creating a file system for the database.
