About installing Oracle 10g RAC

After completing the Oracle 10g pre-installation tasks, proceed to install Oracle 10g software locally on each node. SF Oracle RAC supports Oracle 10.1.0.2 or greater. Make sure to review the Oracle installation manuals.

See Sample output for Oracle 10g RAC installation

When you install Oracle, do not create a database or install a pre-created database. For example, when you choose to use the Enterprise Edition or the Standard Edition displayed by the Oracle installer, select the Software only option to install the binaries without creating a database. If you choose Custom installation, do not create a database when prompted. Create the database after installing Oracle and relinking the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle.

You can also upgrade to Oracle 10g from Oracle9i. Refer to the Oracle documentation or access the Oracle Technology Network for specific information.
