Using the SF Oracle RAC configuration program

The Oracle installation requires some preparation such as creating the Oracle user and group ID, creating disk groups, volumes, and mount points, and configuring private IP addresses for CRS. You can perform tasks in the configuration program sequentially at one time, or you can access the program for individual tasks later.

 To perform pre-installation tasks in the configuration menu

1. Launch the SF Oracle RAC configuration program. As root user on any one system, enter:

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # installsfrac -configure

   By default, the installsfrac program uses SSH for remote communication. However, to use RSH, specify the -rsh option with the installsfrac program.

   # ./installsfrac -rsh -configure

2. Enter the system names, separated by spaces.
3. From the configuration program menu, select Prepare to install Oracle. From this menu, you can choose to perform all installation tasks, or to perform specific tasks.
