Setting Up Prerequisites

To use the Oracle RAC system with PeopleTools, the cluster environment must support the cluster file system. Before beginning the implementation, verify that your system satisfies the following requirements:

• Oracle data files and control files must be raw devices unless a cluster file system is supported by the cluster software.

• Each data file or control file is a single raw device that must be shareable to all cluster members.

• You must have installed Operating System Cluster Software.

• You must have installed the RAC version of the Oracle database.

• You must modify certain operating system parameters.

See Oracle® Real Application Clusters Installation and Configuration Guide for your Oracle version.
