From the displayed list of products to install, choose Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC.

   The installer displays the copyright message and specifies the directory where the running logs are created.

3. Set up the systems so that commands between systems execute without prompting for passwords or confirmations.

   Would you like the installer to setup ssh or rsh communication 
   automatically between the systems?
   Superuser passwords for the systems will be asked. [y,n,q] (y)
   Enter the superuser password for system sys1:
   
        1)  Setup ssh between the systems
        2)  Setup rsh between the systems
        b)  Back to previous menu
   Select the communication method [1-2,b,q,?] (1)

4. If you had quit the installer in the process of an active installation, the installer discovers that installer process and provides the option of resuming the installation or starting a new installation. Provide a suitable response.

   The installer has discovered an existing installer process. 
   The process exited while performing installation of SF Oracle RAC 
   on sys1. 
   Do you want to resume this process? [y,n,q,?] (y) n

5. Enter y to agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA).
6. Select the type of installation - Minimal, Recommended, All. Each option displays the disk space that is required for installation.

   Symantec recommends you to choose the option Install all packages.

   2)  Install recommended packages
   3)  Install all packages
   4)  Display packages to be installed for each option
   Select the packages to be installed on all systems?

   2) Enable keyless licensing and complete 
   system licensing later
   How would you like to license the systems? [1-2,q]

   • Enter 1 if you have a valid license key. When prompted, enter the license key.

     Enter a SF Oracle RAC license key: 
     XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-X

     Do you wish to enter additional licenses? [y,n,q,b] (n)

   • Enter 2 to enable keyless licensing.

     Note:

     The keyless license option enables you to install SF Oracle RAC without entering a key. However, you must still acquire a valid license to install and use SF Oracle RAC. Keyless licensing requires that you manage the systems with a Management Server.
