Installing Oracle9i binaries

Review the procedure to install the Oracle9i R2 software in an SF Oracle RAC environment.

Follow the Oracle Universal Installer wizard instructions and complete the installation. Refer to Oracle documentation for specific information on how to install Oracle.

See Sample output for Oracle9i RAC installation

 To install Oracle9i

1. After you set the Oracle9i environment variables, the SF Oracle RAC configuration program launches the Oracle installer.

   When the Oracle installer prompts you to run the /tmp/orainstRoot.sh script, make sure the script exists on each node before proceeding.

2. If the /tmp/orainstRoot.sh script does not exist on each node, copy it from the first node to each of the other cluster nodes.
3. Run the /tmp/orainstRoot.sh script on each node.
4. If the Cluster Node Selection dialog box does not appear, refer to the troubleshooting information.

   See Missing dialog box during installation of Oracle9i release 2

5. When the Cluster Node Selection dialog box appears, select all nodes for installation.
6. In the Installation Types dialog box, select the Software Only installation option.
7. When the installer prompts you to designate the location for the Oracle SRVM component, do one of the following:
   • If you created CFS for SRVM, enter the name of the file that is located on the CFS. For example:

     /orasrv/ora_srvm

   • If you created raw volume for SRVM, enter the location of the raw volume. For example,

     /dev/vx/rdsk/orasrvdg/orasrvvol

     See Preparing to configure the Oracle Server Management (SRVM) component

8. When the installer prompts to specify the JDK home directory, enter the location of the jre binary. For example:

   /opt/java1.3/jre

   The location for other versions of the binary may be different.

9. Review the output as the SF Oracle RAC configuration program links the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle.
10. When you complete installing Oracle9i R2 software, proceed to perform the post-installation tasks.
