Installing Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC on the new system

Read the pre-installation instructions in this guide before proceeding.

 To install Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC without configuration

1. Log in as root on one of the systems for installation.
2. Install the Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC software as described in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of this guide, but run the product installation script instead of the generic installer script. Enter the following command from the top-level directory of the mounted disc:

   # ./installsfrac -installonly [-rsh]

   The -installonly option is required to perform the installation without configuring the software. The -rsh option is required if you are using the remote shell (RSH) rather than the secure shell (SSH) to install the software simultaneously on several systems.

   ---

     Note   If remote shell (RSH) or secure shell (SSH) is configured correctly, you can run this command on a single node to install the software on all nodes in the cluster.

   ---

3. After the initial system checks are complete, press Return to start the requirements checks.
4. Enter the licenses when prompted.
5. After the requirements checks are complete, press Return to start installing the packages. If you are installing multiple nodes, you have the option of installing them simultaneously. You will be prompted after the installation is complete.
6. When installation is complete, note the locations of the summary, log, and response files indicated by the installer.

   ---

     Note   Ignore the message advising that you must run installsfrac -configure. When adding a node to a cluster running Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC, you must manually configure the system using the following procedure.
