Installing the agent software

You can install the Veritas Cluster Server agent for Oracle from the product disc. You must install the Oracle enterprise agent on all nodes that will host the Oracle service group.

To install the agent on a Linux node

  1. Log in as superuser.

  2. Insert the software disc into a drive that is connected to the node.

    The software automatically mounts the disc as /mnt/cdrom.

  3. If the disc does not automatically mount, then you must mount the disc manually. For example:

    # mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

  4. Install the agent software.

    RHEL4 or RHEL5 (i686, x86_64)

    OEL4 or OEL5 (i686, x86_64)

    		 

    # cd /mnt/cdrom/dist_arch\
/cluster_server_agents/oracle_agent/rpms

    where dist is rhel4 or rhel5 and arch is i686 or x86_64.

    # rpm -i VRTSvcsor-5.0.30.00-MP3_dist.i686.rpm
# rpm -i \
VRTScsocw-5.0.30.00-MP3_GENERIC.noarch.rpm

    where dist is RHEL4 or RHEL5.

    SLES9 or SLES10 (i586, x86_64)

    		 

    # cd /mnt/cdrom/dist_arch\
/cluster_server_agents/oracle_agent/rpms

    where dist is sles9 or sles10 and arch is i586 or x86_64.

    # rpm -i VRTSvcsor-5.0.30.00-MP3_dist.i586.rpm
# rpm -i \
VRTScsocw-5.0.30.00-MP3_GENERIC.noarch.rpm

    where dist is SLES9 or SLES10.

    These commands install the following RPMs:

    • VRTSvcsor, the agent binaries for Oracle, Netlsnr, ASMInst, and ASMDG agents

    • VRTScsocw, the agent configuration wizard

  5. Repeat step 1 through step 4 on each node that will become part of the Oracle service group.
