This deck shows some typical installation options introduced with Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1). Later patch sets influenced the installation marginally.

4. Installation step 4: Grid Plug And Play Info
For more information on SCAN, see: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clustering/overview/scan-129069.pdf
Installation step 4.1: GNS configuration
This
installation
does not
use GNS.

5. Installation step 4.2: Pre-generated Names
Installation step 4.2: Validation of Input
5

6. Installation step 5: Cluster Node Information
Installation step 5.1: Automatic SSH Setup / Test
6

7. Installation step 5.2: SSH Setup Validation
Installation step 5.3: Add Nodes to Cluster
Note: OUI does not
ask for a private
node name.
7

8. Installation step 5.4: Validation of Input
Node names removed per Oracle policy
Installation step 6: Network Interface Usage
The private interconnect is determined
by the subnet and the interface –
names are not required.
8

9. Installation step 6.1: Validation
Installation step 7: OCR / Voting Disk Placement
Next step
No RAW device support in
OUI anymore – upgrades
support RAW devices.

10. Installation step 8: ASM Configuration
Installation step 8.1: ASM Discovery String
The ASM default discovery
string still points to
/dev/raw/raw* on Linux.
10

11. Installation step 8.2: Number of Disks Check
Placing OCR and Voting Disks in
ASM initiates a placement
algorithm, enforcing a minimum
number of disks (failure groups) in
the DG that is being created.
Installation step 8.3: Final ASM Configuration
11

12. Installation step 9: ASM Role Separation
Installation step 10: IPMI – New Fencing Option
IPMI allows fencing (shutting down a node)
using a remote access based on an additional
network connection. IPMI is optional and
requires hardware as well as software on each
node before it can be enabled.
For more information on IPMI, see: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clustering/overview/twp-rac11gr2-134105.pdf

15. Installation step 14: Integrated Prerequisite Checks
Installation step 14.1: Check Results and FixUp Scripts
15

16. Installation step 14.2: Using FixUp Scripts
Installation step 14.3: runfixup.sh – Output
There is only 1 fixup script regardless of the
number of items found, which “fixes it all” (only
items declared as “fixable”).

19. Installation step 16: Installation Progress
Installation step 16.1: Run root.sh on every node
Note the new parallelism option for root.sh

Software Only Installation – Step 1

22. Software Only Installation – Step 1
Note: Software Only Install distinguishes
between installation and configuration.
It only puts the binaries into place.
It needs to be run on every server that is
meant to be part of the cluster which is
configured after the installation.
Software Only step 2: Choose Language

23. Software Only step 3: OS Groups
Software Only step 3.1: All in one hand?

The oracle binary is currently linked with RAC disabled.
Please execute the following steps to relink oracle binary
with RAC enabled:
cd <crshome> Note: Software only install does not
link with “RAC_ON”.
setenv ORACLE_HOME pwd
cd rdbms/lib The RAC option must be linked into
make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ioracle
the home before root.sh can be run
to set up a cluster configuration.
