SPARC: Installing the UDLM

For detailed instructions for installing the UNIX Distributed Lock Manager (UDLM), see the Oracle RAC documentation.


Caution

Caution - Before you install the UDLM, ensure that you have created the DBA group and DBA user accounts. For more information, see How to Create the DBA Group and the DBA User Accounts.


SPARC: How to Install the UDLM

If your Oracle RAC release requires UDLM, you must install the UDLM software on the local disk of each node. To support Oracle RAC on a zone cluster node, install UDLM software on each zone cluster node.


Note - On Oracle RAC 11g release 2 or 12c only, to use native SKGXN instead of UDLM, do not install the UDLM software. Native SKGXN is automatically used if UDLM software is not installed in the cluster.


  1. Become superuser on a cluster node.
  2. Install the UDLM software.

    See the appropriate Oracle RAC installation documentation for instructions.


    Note - Ensure that you did not receive any error messages when you installed the UDLM packages. If an error occurred during package installation, correct the problem before you install the UDLM software.
