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 lan0 as a public link on one node in the cluster, all other nodes in the cluster must also use lan0 as the public link. Similarly, if you use lan1 as a private link on one node in the cluster, all other nodes in the cluster must also use lan1 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.

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

Note:

If you want to pass any arguments to the Oracle Universal Installer, then set up the OUI_ARGS environment variable. You must perform this step before you start the SF Oracle RAC script-based installer.

Refer to the Oracle documentation for details on the arguments that you can pass to the Oracle Universal Installer.

For example: # export OUI_ARGS=-ignoreSysPrereqs
