Installing Oracle binaries on the first node of the cluster
Install a version of Oracle that the Cluster Server agent for Oracle supports.
Note:
If you want to use Oracle ASM feature, do not disable the Cluster Synchronization Services.
To install Oracle 10g for VCS
- Insert the Oracle CD.
- Set the DISPLAY variable, mount the CD drive, and run the Oracle installer as Oracle User.
# /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
- Read the Welcome screen and click Next.
- If you perform the Oracle installation for the first time, the Inventory Location dialog box is displayed. Specify the location of your base directory and click OK. Do one of the following:
If you plan the $ORACLE_HOME to be on local disks in your installation, specify a location on the local disk.
If you plan the $ORACLE_HOME to be on shared disks in your installation, specify a location on the shared disk.
- In the File Locations dialog box, enter or select a name and a path for the Oracle Home and click Next.
- In the Installation Types dialog box, select your installation type and click Next.
- In the Select Database Configuration dialog box, select the Do not create a starter database option and click Next.
- In the Summary dialog box, review your selections. Click Back to make changes. Otherwise click Install.
- During the installation, the Oracle installer displays a message asking you to run the script $ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh. Run the script and click Continue to return to the Oracle installer.
- Click Next after the installation is complete.
- In the End of Installation dialog box, click Exit.
- Disable the Oracle clustering daemon.
If you want to use ASM, skip this step and proceed to configuring the Oracle ASM.
- Proceed to configure the database on shared disks.
