Installing Oracle 10g Binaries

 To install the Oracle 10g binaries

1. On the first node, launch the Oracle 10g runInstaller utility. With the Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition disc in the CD-ROM drive, enter:

   $ cd /cdrom/cdrom0

   $ ./runInstaller

2. As you run the installer, prepare the following information for the installation and configuration of the Oracle10g binaries component:
   • The destination of the installation (for example, $ORACLE_HOME), and the /oracle/VRT path for the Specify File Locations dialog box. This location is either on shared storage or an identical location on each of the local cluster nodes.
   • The names of the nodes (for example, galaxy and nebula) for the Specify Hardware Cluster Installation Mode dialog box.
   • The desired installation edition for the Select Installation Type dialog box.
3. In the Select Database Configuration dialog box, you can choose not to create a starter database by selecting Do not create a starter database. VERITAS recommends creating a database at a later point.
4. If you are installing Oracle 10gR1 as a base install, when you reach the Summary dialog box, click Install. When the installation ends, a Setup Privileges message appears. Do not click OK at this point; instead, apply the init.cssd.patch patch on each node:
   • Log in as root user.
   • Navigate to $CRS_HOME/css/admin.
   • Run the following command:

     # patch init.cssd. < /opt/VRTSvcs/rac/patch/init.cssd.patch

5. In the Summary dialog box, click Install. When the installation ends, a Setup Privileges message appears. Do not click OK; instead, first run the root.sh script on each node. For example:

   # cd $ORACLE_HOME

   # ./root.sh

6. Click OK on the Setup Privileges message.
