Installing the Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure software

This section provides instructions for installing Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure using the SF Oracle RAC installer. The SF Oracle RAC installer prompts for information required to invoke the Oracle Universal Installer and launches it. The responses provided to the SF Oracle RAC installer are pre-filled in the Oracle Universal Installer wizard. When you step through the installation, review or change these installation values in the Oracle Universal Installer.

Note:

Before you begin the installation, verify that the nodes in the cluster are connected with network links using similar network devices. For example, if you use bge0 as a public link on one node in the cluster, all other nodes in the cluster must also use bge0 as the public link. Similarly, if you use bge1 as a private link on one node in the cluster, all other nodes in the cluster must also use bge1 as the private link.

Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure software is installed on each node in the CRS_HOME or GRID_HOME location, depending on the version of Oracle RAC you install.

Note:

If you want to install Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure on VxFS or CFS, make sure that you created the appropriate storage before proceeding with the installation.
