Before You Begin
You must prepare DNS before installing SuperCluster M6-32. Installation and the initial configuration cannot proceed until these tasks are finished.
Note - DNS is not configured on SuperCluster M6-32 until after initial configuration.
SuperCluster System Site Checklist
Oracle SuperCluster M6-32 Configuration Worksheet
You must register all public addresses, SCAN addresses, and VIP addresses in DNS prior to installation.
Note - The configuration worksheets document defines the SCAN as a single name with three IP addresses on the client access network.
Reverse resolution must be forward confirmed (forward-confirmed reverse DNS), such that both the forward and reverse DNS entries match each other.
The SCAN name to the three SCAN addresses must be configured in DNS for round-trip resolution.
