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

Steps

1. Load the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM 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.

   # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_Oracle_RAC_FRAMEWORK_3.1/Solaris_N/Packages

   N is the version number of the Solaris OS that you are using. For example, if you are using Solaris 10, N is 10.

4. On each cluster node that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters, start the pkgadd utility.

   • If you are using Solaris 10, type the following command:

     # pkgadd -G -d .

   • If you are using Solaris 8 or Solaris 9, type the following command:

     # pkgadd -d .

5. Change the current working directory to the directory that contains the packages that the combination of storage management schemes requires.

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

     # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_Oracle_RAC_SVM_3.1/Solaris_N/Packages

     N is the version number of the Solaris OS that you are using. For example, if you are using Solaris 10, N is 10.

   • If you are using VxVM with the cluster feature, run the following command:

     # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_Oracle_RAC_CVM_3.1/Solaris_N/Packages

     N is the version number of the Solaris OS that you are using. For example, if you are using Solaris 10, N is 10.

   • If you are using hardware RAID, Sun StorEdge QFS, Network Appliance NAS devices, or ASM without a volume manager, run the following command:

     # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_Oracle_RAC_HWRAID_3.1/Solaris_N/Packages

     N is the version number of the Solaris OS that you are using. For example, if you are using Solaris 10, N is 10.

6. On each cluster node that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters, start the pkgadd utility.

   • If you are using Solaris 10, type the following command:

     # pkgadd -G -d .

   • If you are using Solaris 8 or Solaris 9, type the following command:

     # pkgadd -d .
