Relinking the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle - using the installer

After installing the Oracle base software or Oracle patches, use the configuration program to relink SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle.

 To relink the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle

1. Launch the installsfrac program. As root user on any one node in the cluster, enter:

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # installsfrac -configure

   By default, the installsfrac program uses ssh for remote communication. However, rsh can be used in instead of SSH by using the "-rsh" option with the installsfrac utility.

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # installsfrac -rsh -configure

2. Enter the system names on which you want to install Oracle9i software and navigate to the Install or relink Oracle menu.
3. Select the version of Oracle software (Oracle 9iR2).
4. Select Relink Oracle to relink Oracle software.
5. In the Oracle user name screen, enter the Oracle UNIX user name when prompted. The installer checks for the user on all systems. For example, use "oracle."
6. In the Oracle Group name screen, enter the name of the Oracle inventory group when prompted. The installer checks for the existence of this group on all systems. For example, use "dba."
7. In the Oracle base directory screen, specify the base of the Oracle directory structure for OFA compliant databases. For example, use /app/oracle.
8. In the Database Home Directory screen, specify the location of $ORACLE_HOME. For example, /app/oracle/orahome.
9. The installer prints Oracle9i installation information for verification. Answer "y" if the information displayed is correct, answer "n" otherwise. For example:

   Oracle Unix User: oracle

   Oracle Unix Group: dba

   Oracle Release: 9.2

   Oracle Bits: 64

   Oracle Base: /app/oracle

   Oracle Home: /app/oracle/orahome

10. Press Enter. The installer now copies 5.0 SF Oracle RAC libraries to ORACLE_HOME and relinks Oracle.

    The installer reports its actions it performs them.
