Installing Oracle on the secondary site

Make sure you have Oracle pre-configured and installed and configured on the secondary site.

 To pre-configure for Oracle

1. Pre-configure Oracle.
   • For Oracle 10g:

     See Preparing to Install Oracle 10g RAC

   • For Oracle9i:

     See Preparing to Install Oracle9i RAC

2. Install Oracle on the secondary site.
   • Use the same name for the database disk group and the database volume on the secondary site as the one on the primary site.
   • Set the same capacity for the database disk group and the database volume on the secondary site as the one on the primary site.
   • Do not create a database on the secondary site. The disk group will contain the database replicated from the primary site.
   • For Oracle9i:

     See Installing Oracle9i RAC

   • For Oracle 10g:

     See Installing Oracle 10g RAC

3. On the secondary site, set up the disk group and volumes for the Oracle database, but do not create a database. It will be replicated from the primary site.
4. Make sure that the database disk group and database volume on the secondary site have the same name and size as that on the primary site.
