Preparing the Oracle Solaris Cluster Nodes
Preparing the Oracle Solaris Cluster nodes modifies the configuration of the operating system to enable Support for Oracle RAC to run on Oracle Solaris Cluster nodes. Preparing the Oracle Solaris Cluster nodes and disks involves the following tasks:
-
Bypassing the NIS name service
-
Creating the database administrator (DBA) group and the DBA user accounts
-
Configuring shared memory for the Support for Oracle RAC software
 | Caution - Perform these tasks on all nodes where Support for Oracle RAC can run. If you do not perform these tasks on all nodes, the Oracle Database installation is incomplete. An incomplete Oracle installation causes Support for Oracle RAC to fail during startup. |
To enable the Support for Oracle RAC to run in a zone cluster, you need to perform the following additional tasks:
-
Configuring shared memory for Support for Oracle RAC software in a zone cluster
-
Setting necessary privileges for Support for Oracle RAC software in a zone cluster
-
Configuring logical hostname resources for Support for Oracle RAC software in a zone cluster
