Understanding the PeopleSoft Installation on Oracle RAC

An Oracle RAC configuration is a multi-Oracle instance environment that uses cluster software to communicate between different Oracle instances and cluster members.

You must use the manual database creation procedure, described in the PeopleTools installation guide if you are installing on an Oracle RAC database. The manual procedure gives you the ability to specify multiple mounting points for raw devices, edit database setup scripts, and edit Data Mover scripts.

See PeopleSoft 9.2 Application Installation for Oracle: "Creating a Database Manually on Windows".

You can take advantage of Transparent Application Continuity (TAC) to hide planned database maintenance, unplanned outages, and local rebalances of the database, ensuring that your applications are continuously available. TAC is supported for PeopleSoft RAC databases on Oracle Base Database Service or Exadata Cloud Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and on-premises RAC databases.
