Configure Shared Storage for the Oracle RAC Database

Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster and configure shared storage for Oracle RAC files before creating an Oracle RAC database using Oracle DBCA.

Storage administration tasks require the SYSASM system privileges, which are granted to members of the OSASM operating system group. This group may not be the same as the OSDBA group, whose members are granted the SYSDBA system privileges.

See Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide for your platform for more information about shared storage configuration requirements.
