Installing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters Packages

If you did not install the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters packages during your initial Sun Cluster installation, perform this procedure to install the packages. Perform this procedure on all of the cluster nodes that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters. To complete this procedure, you need the Sun Java Enterprise System Accessory CD Volume 3.

The Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters packages are as follows:

• Packages for the RAC framework resource group

• Packages for the Oracle RAC server resource and Oracle RAC listener resource

Install the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters packages by using the pkgadd utility.

Because of the preparation that is required before installation, the scinstall(1M) utility does not support automatic installation of the packages for the RAC framework resource group.

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
