Installing the Oracle RAC database software

Before you start the installation of Oracle database, make sure that Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure is up and running. Symantec recommends you to install the Oracle database locally on each node.

Note:

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

See Creating Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure and Oracle database home directories manually.

Install the software using one of the following methods:

SF Oracle RAC installer
