Important

The following steps have to be performed only on Node 1.

Do not execute any commands on Node 2.

Configure Passwordless SSH Setup

Login with grid user and execute the following steps to configure Passwordless SSH setup.

cd $GRID_HOME/deinstall/

For Oracle User

./sshUserSetup.sh -user oracle -hosts "MUMDCNODE1 MUMDCNODE2" -noPromptPassphrase -confirm -advanced

For Grid User

./sshUserSetup.sh -user grid -hosts "MUMDCNODE1 MUMDCNODE2" -noPromptPassphrase -confirm -advanced

Pre-check for RAC Setup

We use this Cluvfy command to check that our cluster is ready for the Grid install.

export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OL8

As Grid User

$GRID_HOME/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n MUMDCNODE1,MUMDCNODE2 -verbose

As Grid User

$GRID_HOME/runcluvfy.sh comp clocksync -n all -verbose

If you encounter the below error during the Cluster Verificaion, then reboot both Nodes and perform the Cluster Verfication once again.

ERROR:
PRVG-10467 : The default Oracle Inventory group could not be determined.

Bug

CVU may report package "compat-libcap1-1.10" as a requirement in OL8 and OL9 which is incorrect. This is only needed in OL7 .

Install GRID Infrastructure

Login with grid user and execute the following command.

Apply patch 6880880 to the Oracle GI home to upgrade the Opatch utility

Apply RU Patch

$GRID_HOME/gridSetup.sh -applyRU /u01/patch/36582629

The Grid Infrastructure GUI Installer will begin.

Step 1

Select "Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a New Cluster"

Step 2

Select "Configure an Oracle Standalone Cluster"

Step 3

Give your Cluster a Name. In our case we will name it: MUMBAI-CLUSTER
SCAN Name: RAC-SCAN
SCAN Port: 1521

Step 4

Click on Add and Add the Second Node to the list..
- Public Hostname: MUMDCNODE2.HOMELAB.COM.
- Virtual Hostname: MUMDCNODE2-vip.HOMELAB.COM
- Virtual Hostname: MUMDCNODE2-vip.HOMELAB.COM
- Click Next to Proceed onto the next step.

Step 5

Select ASM & Private for interface ens192 as it will be used for the ASM Disk Drives and the Private Subnet.

Step 6

Select Use Oracle Flex ASM for the Storage.

Step 7

Select No for the Configure Grid Ingfrastructure Management Repository and Click Next.

Step 8

Give the Disk Group a name, In our case we named it OCR.
Select External for the ASM Disks Redundancy.
Change the ASM Disk Discovery Path.

ASM Disk Discovery Path

Change the ASM Disk Discovery Path to the following:

/dev/oracleasm/disks*

Step 9

Select Use same passwords for these accounts and specify a Password and proceed to the Next step.

Step 10

Select Do not use Intellident Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and proceed to the Next step.

Step 11

Leave the Register with Enterprise Manager (EM) Cloud Control unchecked and proceed to the Next step.

Step 12

select asmadmin for Oracle ASM Administrator (OSASM) Group.
Select asmdba for Oracle ASM DBA(OSDBA for ASM) Group.
Select asmoper for Oracle ASM Operator (OSOPER for ASM) Group.

Step 13

Cross check the Oracle Base Directory and proceed to the next step.

Step 14

Cross check the Oracle Inventory Directory and proceed to the next step.

Step 15

Leave the Automatically run Configuration scripts unchecked as we want full control of the Installation Process. We will execute the scripts manually as root user.

Step 16.1

Prerequsite Checks will be performed.

Step 16.2

Check the Ignore All box and click Next to Proceed to the next step.

Step 17

Verify the Configuration, Save the response file if required for future reference and proceed to the Next step.

Step 18.1

The Installation of Grid Infrastructure will start.

Step 18.2

When the Execute Configuration Scripts prompt appears, Open a new Terminal window as root user and execute both the scripts one at a time on Node1.
After the scripts have been executed on Node1 successfully. Execute it on Node2.
Once both the scripts have been executed successfully, click on OK.

CRS Status

You can simultaneously check the status of the Cluster in a new tab with grid user.

watch crsctl stat res -t -init

watch crsctl status resource -t

CRS LOG Location

$GRID_BASE/diag/crs/dcnode1/crs/trace/alert.log

You can now proceed to Database Creation
