OS Prerequisites – All Nodes


Connect to both RAC nodes via putty and execute all the below commands on both nodes.


Check if your machine is able to speak to internet. You can ping yahoo.com. Then install below package to perform all oracle installation pre-requisites



yum -y install oracle-rdbms*

Install ASM packages


yum -y install oracleasm*
yum -y install kmod-oracleasm

Change password for oracle user


passwd oracle

Disable firewall


/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop
service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off
echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

Create directories to install grid and oracle software


mkdir -p /u01/app/11.2.0/grid mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 chmod -R 775 /u01/

mkdir -p /u02
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u02

Download Oracle 11.2.0.4 gird and database binaries. Copy it to /u02 location (Only on Node 1)

Setup Public & Private Network


We have below public and private network configuration for our RAC setup:

Also, below are the Virtual IP and Scan IP details:

Depending upon your environment, change IP addresses and put below under /etc/hosts file on both oraracn1 and oraracn2 nodes


On both nodes:
==============
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

# Public Network	- (eth0)
192.168.0.101	oraracn1.oraclegenesis.com	oraracn1
192.168.0.102	oraracn2.oraclegenesis.com	oraracn2

# Private Interconnect - (eth1)
10.10.10.101	oraracn1-priv.oraclegenesis.com	oraracn1-priv
10.10.10.102	oraracn2-priv.oraclegenesis.com	oraracn2-priv

# Public Virtual	IP (VIP) addresses - (eth0:1)	
192.168.0.105	oraracn1-vip.oraclegenesis.com	oraracn1-vip
192.168.0.106	oraracn2-vip.oraclegenesis.com	oraracn2-vip

# Single Client Access Name (SCAN)	
192.168.0.110	orarac-scan.oraclegenesis.com	orarac-scan

Test the network configuration


On oraracn1:	
============	
# ping oraracn1          --> use Ctrl+C to exit from ping
# ping oraracn2	
# ping oraracn1-priv	
# ping oraracn2-priv	

On oraracn2:	
============	
# ping oraracn1          --> use Ctrl+C to exit from ping
# ping oraracn2	
# ping oraracn1-priv	
# ping oraracn2-priv
Note: You cannot ping VIP and SCAN IP. Those IPs can only be used by an application and are not ping-able!

Configure Shared Storage


At this stage, shutdown both the virtual machines. We will allocate shared disks to RAC nodes. Open oraracn1 virtual machine settings and select storage. Click on Adds Hard Disk button under SATA controller

Choose Create new disk

Choose VDI and click Next

Select Fixed size and click Next

Allocate 100 GB of shared storage to your RAC setup

This will take some time to add shared disk to Node 1

Once disk is added, you can see the disk under Node 1 settings > storage

Now our goal is to make newly added disk on node 1 shared with node 2. For this, go to File > Virtual Media Manager

Select your shared disk > right click > choose Modify

Change the property from Normal to Shareable and click on OK

Now we are ready to share the disk with Node 2. Open oraracn2 settings > Storage > Adds hard disk icon

Do not create a new disk, Choose existing disk

Locate your shared disk at OS level. It must mostly be stored under your Node 1 location

The disk must now be shared with node 2 as well. You will see the RAC Shared Storage below

Create Shared Partitions


Now that we have 100 GB of shared storage, we need to create three partitions for the main three ASM disk groups

Create three partitions under the newly added 100 GB shared disk via node 1


On Node 1:
==========
fdisk /dev/sdb
n
p
1
<enter>
+10G

============ Frist partition is created, create second one ============

n
p
1
<enter>
+45G

============ Second partition is created, create third one =============

n
p
1
<enter>
+45G

======= All partitions are created, now save the partition table ==========

w	 this command will save the partition table

Configure ASM & ASM Disks


As we have created 3 partitions, we must allocate each partition to single ASM disks, which will then be allocated to ASM Disk groups

Configure ASM on both nodes


On Node 1 as root user:
=======================
/usr/sbin/oracleasm configure -i

Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y

On Node 2 as root user:
=======================
/usr/sbin/oracleasm configure -i

Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y

Load oracle-asm kernel module on both nodes. This command Creates the /etc/sysconfig/oracleasm configuration file, creates the /dev/oracleasm mount point and mounts the ASMLib driver file system


On Node 1 as root user:
=======================
/usr/sbin/oracleasm init


On Node 2 as root user:
=======================
/usr/sbin/oracleasm init

Create ASM disks – Any one Node


On Node 1 as root user:
=======================
oracleasm createdisk CRS1 /dev/sdb5
oracleasm createdisk DATA1 /dev/sdb6
oracleasm createdisk FRA1 /dev/sdb7

Run below commands on both nodes to scan and list ASM disks


oracleasm scandisks
oracleasm listdisks


Oracle Grid Installation


Oracle grid software is the one which binds multiple independent servers into a cluster. You can configure ASM only when Oracle grid is installed because ASM is bundled with Oracle Grid Software.


Configure NTP – All Nodes


On Node 1 and Node 2:
=====================
#	yum install ntp
#	service ntpd start
#	chkconfig ntpd on

# vi /etc/sysconfig/ntpd	-> Open file delete all and put below line

OPTIONS="-x -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g"

#	service ntpd stop
#	ntpdate 1.tw.pool.ntp.org
#	service ntpd start

Now its good time to clean-up the YUM repository to release some space from the disk


On both nodes as root user:
===========================
# yum clean all

Set Bash Profile


Setup oracle user bash profile on node 1


#	su - oracle
#	vi .bash_profile

#	Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=oraracn1; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=RAC; export ORACLE_UNQNAME

alias grid_env='. /home/oracle/grid_env'
alias db_env='. /home/oracle/db_env'

Create a file to set grid variables on node 1. This file will set grid environmental variables making it easy to switch between DB home and grid home.


# vi /home/oracle/grid_env

ORACLE_SID=+ASM1; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=$GRID_HOME; export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$BASE_PATH; export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPAT H

Create below file to set database environmental variables on Node 1


# vi /home/oracle/db_env

ORACLE_SID=RAC1; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=$DB_HOME; export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$BASE_PATH; export PATH

alias grid_env='. /home/oracle/grid_env'
alias db_env='. /home/oracle/db_env'

Create a file to set grid variables on node 2. This file will set grid environmental variables making it easy to switch between DB home and grid home.


# vi /home/oracle/grid_env

ORACLE_SID=+ASM2; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=$GRID_HOME; export ORACLE_HOME

CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPAT H

At this stage, exit as oracle user and the open another terminal with new session OR switch to root user and then back to oracle user. This will make the new environmental variables in effect.


Now it’s time to test our environment variables and check if they are working fine or not. As oracle user, execute below commands on both nodes to check if environmental variables are set properly


Node	1:
-------
su –	oracle
# . grid_env	     --To set grid env variables
# env |grep ORA
ORACLE_UNQNAME=RAC
ORACLE_SID=+ASM1
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=oraracn1
ORACLE_TERM=xterm
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid

# . db_env	     --To set DB env variables
# env |grep ORA
ORACLE_UNQNAME=RAC
ORACLE_SID=RAC1
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=oraracn1
ORACLE_TERM=xterm
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1




Node	2:		
-------		
su –	oracle		
# . grid_env	     --To set grid env variables	
# env |grep ORA
ORACLE_UNQNAME=RAC
ORACLE_SID=+ASM2
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=oraracn2
ORACLE_TERM=xterm
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid

# . db_env	     --To set DB env variables
# env |grep ORA
ORACLE_UNQNAME=RAC
ORACLE_SID=RAC2
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=oraracn2
ORACLE_TERM=xterm
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1

Configure SSH Between Nodes


Configure SSH connectivity between the nodes as oracle user. There are two methods to setup SSH connectivity between the nodes is: Manual method and automatic method. The manual method is very long and you might encounter errors while doing it. The easy way is the automatic method via script provided by oracle.


As you have already copied the grid and database software files under /u02, unzip the grid software file. This will create a new folder name grid under /u02. Oracle provides automatic ssh setup script


On node 1 as oracle user:
=========================
cd /u02
unzip <grid_software_file_name>

cd grid/sshsetup

./sshUserSetup.sh -user oracle -hosts "oraracn1 oraracn2" -noPromptPassphrase -confir m -advanced

Run cluvfy utility


Oracle provide a pre-installation utility which is called as Cluster Verification Utility (CLUVFY). This utility performs cluster verification before, during and after install of grid software. Let us run CLUVFY utility to check cluster before installation of grid


# /u01/softwares/grid
# ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n oraracn1,oraracn2 -fixup -verbose

Below is the sample output:



[oracle@oraracn1 grid]$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n oraracn1,oraracn2 -fixup -verbose
