Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle Real Application Clusters Guide for Solaris OS

How to Install Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters Packages

  1. Load the Sun Java Enterprise System Accessory CD Volume 3 into the CD-ROM drive.

  2. Become superuser.

  3. Change the current working directory to the directory that contains the packages for the RAC framework resource group.

    This directory depends on the version of the Solaris Operating System that you are using

    • If you are using Solaris 8, run the following command:


      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_Oracle_RAC/Solaris_8/Packages
      
    • If you are using Solaris 9, run the following command:


      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_Oracle_RAC/Solaris_9/Packages
      
  4. On each cluster node that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters, transfer the contents of the required software packages from the CD-ROM to the node.

    The required software packages depend on the storage management scheme that you are using for the Oracle Real Application Clusters database.

    • If you are using Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster, run the following command:


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWscmd
      
    • If you are using VxVM with the cluster feature, run the following command:


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWcvmr SUNWcvm
      
    • If you are using hardware RAID support, run the following command:


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWschwr
      
    • If you are using Sun StorEdge QFS shared file system with hardware RAID support, run the following command:


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWschwr
      
  5. Change the current working directory to the directory that contains the packages for the Oracle RAC server resource and Oracle RAC listener resource.

    This directory depends on the version of the Solaris Operating System that you are using.

    • If you are using Solaris 8, run the following command:


      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_HA_Oracle_3.1/Solaris_8/Packages
      
    • If you are using Solaris 9, run the following command:


      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_HA_Oracle_3.1/Solaris_9/Packages
      
  6. On each cluster node that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters, transfer the contents of the required software packages from the CD-ROM to the node.

    The required software packages depend on the locale that you require.

    • To install the C locale, run the following command:


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWscor
      
    • To install the Simplified Chinese locale, run the following command:


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWcscor
      
    • To install the Japanese locale, run the following command:


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWjscor
