Installing the VCS agent for Oracle software

The agent binaries for Cluster Server agent for Oracle are part of VRTSvcsea package. The VRTSvcsea package is already installed if you chose to install all packages or recommended packages during VCS installation. You must manually install the VRTSvcsea package if you installed minimal packages during VCS installation.

You can install the Cluster Server agent for Oracle from the product disc. You must install the Oracle enterprise agent on all nodes that will host the Oracle service group.

To install the agent on a Solaris SPARC node

Log in as superuser.
Make sure that the agent is not already installed. Navigate to /opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin and list the contents of the directory.
If the command returns the VCS agents for Oracle, you can skip this procedure.
Create a temporary directory for installation:
```
# mkdir /tmp/install
```
Insert the disc into a drive connected to your node:
- If you are running Solaris volume-management software, the software automatically mounts the disc as /cdrom/cdrom0. Type the following command to go to the location:
```
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0
```
- If you are not running Solaris volume-management software, you must mount the disc manually. For example:
```
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
```
  Where, in this example, /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 is the default for the CD drive.After the disc is mounted, go to the location where the package files are present:
```
# cd /cdrom
```
Install the package from the pkgs directory:
```
# pkgadd -d VRTSvcsea.pkg
```
The VRTSvcsea package includes the agent binaries for Oracle, Netlsnr, ASMInst, and ASMDG agents. The package also installs the VCS agents for DB2 and Sybase.
