Configuring DNS SERVERS (OPTIONAL)
dns>#rpm -qa | grep cache
#rpm -qa | grep bind
#cd /var/named/chroot/var/named
named>#ls for*
#ls rev*
#cd
#service named start
#service named stop
#service named start
#service named restart
#dig dns.oracle.com (for checking dns is properly working)
#cd /var/named/chroot/var/named
#cat for
2. Configuration to be done on RAC servers
rac1>#hostname
#vi /etc/resolv.conf
name server 192.168.233.224
:wq
#ssh 192.168.233.224
rac2>#vi /etc/resolv.conf
name server 192.168.233.224
:wq
rac1> nslookup cluster-scan (where ns is name server)
#lslookup rac2
#nslookup dns.oracle.com
—————————————————————————————————-
step 1: (Node 1) step 2: (Node 2)
#cat /etc/passwd (or) cat /etc/shadow Same as Step 1
#userdel -r oracle
#cat /etc/group
#groupdel oinstall
#groupdel dba
step 3: (Node 1)
#groupadd -g 501 oinstall
#groupadd -g 502 dba
#groupadd -g 503 oper
#groupadd -g 504 asmadmin
#groupadd -g 506 asmdba
#groupadd -g 507 asmoper
#useradd -u 501 -g oinstall -G asmadmin,asmdba,asmoper grid step 4 (Node 2)
#passwd grid same as step 3
#useradd -u 502 -g oinstall -G dba,asmdba oracle
#passwd oracle
#id grid
#id oracle
step 5:(Node 1)
Creating directory structures for grid home,dbhome,oracle base
and oracle inventory
#mkdir -p /u01/app/grid
#chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/app/grid
#chmod -R /u01/app/grid
#mkdir -p /u01/product/11.2.0/grid_home
#chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/product/11.2.0/grid_home
#chmod -R 775 /u01/product/11.2.0/grid_home
Note:grid home should not be under grid base
#mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
#chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
#chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
#mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home
#chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home
#chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home
Creating directory for inventory
#mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory
#chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory
#chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oraInventory step 6:(Node 2)
same as step 5
step 7: (Node 1)
configuring kernel parameters
note:if os is redhat we need to configure the kernel parameters
as oracle installation document and if os is OEL by default
KERNEL parameters are set
#cat /etc/sysctl.conf | more
configuring shell limits
#vi /etc/security/limits.conf
grid soft nproc 2047
grid hard nproc 16384
grid soft nofile 1024
grid hard nofile 65536
:wq
#cd /etc/security
#scp limits.conf rac2:/etc/security/limits.conf
#cd
#vi /etc/profile
if [ $USER = “oracle” ] || [ $USER = “grid” ]; then
if [ $SHELL = ” /bin/ksh” ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
umask 022
fi
:wq!
#cd /etc
#scp profile rac2:/etc/profile
step 8: (Node 1)
configuring /etc/hosts
rac1>vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.233.224 dns dns.oracle.com
***PUBLIC IPS***
192.168.233.40 rac1 rac1.oracle.com
192.168.233.41 rac2 rac2.oracle.com
***PRIVATE IPS***
192.168.233.50 rac1-priv
192.168.233.51 rac2-priv
***VIRTUAL IPS***
192.168.233.60 rac1-vip
192.168.233.61 rac2-vip
***SCAN IPS***
192.168.233.101 cluster-scan
192.168.233.102 cluster-scan
192.168.233.102 cluster-scan
#cd /etc/
#scp hosts rac2:/etc/hosts
step 9: (Node 1)
creating the required no. of partitions in the shared storage for asm diskgroups
#fdisk -l
#fdisk /dev/sdb

# partprobe #partprobe (Node 2)
Note: if you are implementing ASM using asmlib
interface,incase of redhat linux we need to download
asm rpm’s based on kernel version
Note: Incase of OEL all asm rpm’s are installed by default
except asmlib which needs to be installed manually
rac1>rpm -qa | grep oracle
#uname -r
#cd /opt
opt># rpm -ivh oracleasmlib*
#scp -r oracleasmlib* rac2:/opt step 10: (Node 2)
rac2>rpm -qa | grep oracle
#cd /opt
opt> # ls
#rpm -ivh oracleasmlib*
step 11: (Node 1)
Install cvu (cluster verification utility)
disk rpm from the media
#cd /opt
opt> # ls
#cd grid/
#ls
#cd rpm
#ls
#rpm -ivh cvuqdisk….rpm
#scp cvuqdisk…rpm rac2:/opt step 12:( Node 2)
rac1> # cd /opt
opt> # rpm -ivh cvuqdisk*
step 13: (Node 1)
configuring asmlib
rac1>#oracleasm configure
#oracleasm configure -i

rac2> #oracleasm configure -i

#oracleasm createdisk VOL3 /dev/sdb7
#oracleasm scandisks

Note:cluster verification utility fails its ok ( its a bug)
Note:If root.sh fails on 2nd node as error ASM failed root.crs.pl failed
solution:on all nodes modify
step 1: # vi /etc/sysconfig/oracleasm
ORACLEASM_SCANORDER=”dm”
ORACLEASM_SCANEXCLUDE=”sd”
step 2: Restart asmlib on all nodes except 1st nodes
#/etc/init.d/oracleasm restart
step 3: Deconfigure root.sh (except 1st node)
$grid_home/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -verbose -deconfig -force
