This is fourth and last post for installing Oracle RAC<\/span> Database on single machine using VMWare<\/span> virtual machines.<\/p>\n

In this part we will install oracle clusterware<\/span> and rac<\/span> database<\/p>\n

Copy Oracle RAC<\/span> and Oracle Database Software to RAC<\/span>1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Create a directory software in $HOME and copy clusterware<\/span> and database zip files downloaded<\/p>\n

unzip 10201_clusterware<\/span>_linux<\/span>32.zip
\nunzip 10201_database_linux<\/span>32.zip<\/p>\n

This will create directory clusterware<\/span> (for clusterware<\/span> software) and database (for database software)<\/p>\n

Verify all prereq<\/span>. for clusterware<\/span> installation <\/strong>
\n————————————————————<\/strong><\/p>\n

cd<\/span> \/home\/oracle\/softwar<\/span>\/clusterware<\/span>\/cluvfy<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure
\n–Second Machine\/Node RAC<\/span>2 is up
\n— You have configured and changes hostname<\/span> and network IP<\/span> of RAC<\/span>2
\n— RAC<\/span>1 can ping RAC<\/span>2 and vice versa<\/span>
\n— User equivalency is set for user oracle on RAC<\/span>1 and RAC<\/span>2
\n— You can connect to rac<\/span>2 from rac<\/span>1 as user oracle without prompting password and vice versa<\/span><\/p>\n

.\/runcluvfy<\/span>.sh stage \u2013pre<\/span> crsinst<\/span> \u2013n rac<\/span>1,rac<\/span>2<\/p>\n

Make sure Node reachable<\/span> and User Equivalency is met, rest other checks (related memory) can be ignored<\/p>\n

Once RAC1 and RAC2 can ping each other and oracle user can connect to other machine’s oracle user without prompting password then start clusterware installation from user oracle.<\/p>\n

Change directory to location where you have unzipped clusterware software and start clusterware installation by running runInstaller<\/p>\n

.\/runInstaller<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Ignore memory related prereq<\/span>.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Add second node rac<\/span>2<\/strong> by clicking on Add<\/strong> link<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Change subnet<\/span><\/strong> as per your network configuration as you did while configuring network card.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Make one public and another private (Private interconnect for clusterware<\/span>)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Specify ocr<\/span> location like \/apps\/oracle\/oradata<\/span>\/ocr<\/span> (or as per your naming convention)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Specify voting disk location like \/apps\/oracle\/oradata<\/span>\/votingdisk<\/span> (or as per your naming convention)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Click on Install to install clusterware<\/span>.<\/p>\n

After clusterware<\/span> installation, Install Database<\/p>\n

Install RAC<\/span> Database<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go to location where you unzipped database disks<\/p>\n

.\/runInstaller<\/span> \u2013ignoreSysPrereqs<\/span><\/strong> (this is required as our memory is less (below 900MB) required, if your machine spec is higher you can ignore using ignoreSysPrereqs<\/span>)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

Specify database oracle_home (make this different from clusterware<\/span> oracle_home installed in previous step)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a> Enter database name of your choice<\/a><\/p>\n

Select ASM<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Ignore any warnings and click on OK<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Define location of ASM<\/span> as \/dev<\/span>\/raw\/raw3 and make redundancy as external<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Click on Install<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why number of voting disks should always be odd number only ?<\/p>\n

How to troubleshoot RAC<\/span> database and clusterware<\/span> issue ?<\/p>\n
