About installing SF Oracle RAC

You can install SF Oracle RAC on clusters of up to 16 nodes.

The product installer has improved ability to recover from failed installations. A recovery file is created if an installation fails due to a failed network connection. This file enables the install program to resume from the point where the installation failed.

Note:

The installation requires passwordless communication between systems for installing SF Oracle RAC. Make sure that SSH or RSH is set up for passwordless communication. By default, the Veritas installation programs use SSH for remote communication. If SSH is not set up, the installer automatically uses RSH.

By default, the installer generates a response file that you can reuse or customize for silent installations on other systems. If you need to suspend the installation, make sure that you select the option Exit the installer to create the response file before exiting the installation.

Note:

If you enter q to quit the installation, the installer does not create a response file.
