Installing Binary Files and Configuration Files on a Shared File System
Overriding Networking Defaults for Oracle Grid Infrastructure
For detailed instructions for installing Oracle RAC, see your Oracle RAC documentation.
To simplify the maintenance of your Oracle Database installation, you can install the Oracle Database binary files and configuration files on a shared file system. The following shared file systems are supported:
The StorageTek QFS shared file system
The PxFS-based cluster file system
The Oracle ACFS file system
A file system on a qualified NAS device
If you are installing the Oracle Database binary files and Oracle configuration files on a shared file system, specify the absolute paths to the file system when the Oracle Database installation tool requests this information. Do not use a symbolic link whose target is the shared file system.
To install Oracle Database binary files and configuration files on a local file system, follow the usual procedures as described in your Oracle Database documentation.
By default, the network interfaces panel of the Universal Installer shows all interfaces as private. If you are installing Oracle RAC for use with Oracle Solaris Cluster software, override these defaults as follows:
Ensure that clprivnet0 is the only private interface.
Set the public network interfaces to public.
Ensure that all other interfaces are not used. These interfaces represent the underlying network interfaces for the cluster interconnects.
