About installing Oracle9i RAC

After completing the Oracle9i pre-installation tasks, proceed to install Oracle9i software. Symantec recommends you to install Oracle binaries locally on each node. Make sure to review the Oracle installation manuals.

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.
