Installing the VCS agent for Oracle software
The agent binaries for Cluster Server agent for Oracle are part of VRTSvcsea RPM. The VRTSvcsea RPM is already installed if you chose to install all RPMs or recommended RPMs during VCS installation. You must manually install the VRTSvcsea RPM if you installed minimal RPMs 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 Linux 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.
- Insert the software disc into a drive that is connected to the node.
The software automatically mounts the disc as /mnt/cdrom.
- If the disc does not automatically mount, then you must mount the disc manually. For example:
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
- Install the agent software.
# cd /mnt/cdrom/dist_x86_64/rpms
where dist is the supported Linux distribution.
# rpm -i VRTSvcsea-9.0.0000_supportedDistro.x86_64.rpm
The VRTSvcsea RPM includes the agent binaries for Oracle, Netlsnr, ASMInst, and ASMDG agents. The RPM also installs the VCS agents for DB2 and Sybase.
- Repeat step 1 through step 5 on each node that will become part of the Oracle service group.
