Run the Oracle RAC Installer

To proceed through the Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) installer screen workflow, run the installer, and answer questions as prompted.

1. Run the installer with the following command:

   $ /u01/app/oracle/product/19c/dbhome_1/runInstaller -applyRU /software/stage/34130714

   If you are planning to deploy Oracle Database 19.28, then ensure that you update the RU (Release Update) value in the -applyRU parameter to 37957391. Also, to deploy an Oracle Database 19c (19.28) release update home for Oracle RAC on Podman, you require the additional one-off patch number 34436514. For example:

   As oracle user, unzip the one-off patch:

   cd /software/stage
   unzip -q p34436514_1928000DBRU_Generic.zip

   Apply the GI RU 19.28 and the one-off patch to the RDBMS HOME:

   /u01/app/oracle/product/19c/dbhome_1/runInstaller -applyRU /software/stage/37957391/ -applyOneOffs /software/stage/34436514
