Set Up Oracle AI Database Free Primary Database

Before you configure Oracle AI Database Free True Cache, install and set up the Oracle AI Database Free primary database on the primary node.

To set up Oracle AI Database Free primary database:

  1. Install Oracle AI Database Free using RPM packages and then create and configure the primary database using the steps described in Installing Oracle AI Database Free Using RPM Packages.
  2. Ensure that a primary database is running on the primary node in archive logging (ARCHIVELOG) mode.

    The primary database must be in ARCHIVELOG mode to ship redo log files to the True Cache node.DBCA verifies that the primary database is in ARCHIVELOG mode.

    If the primary database is not in ARCHIVELOG mode, restart it in mount mode, run the ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG command, and open the primary database again.

    Note:

    Don't set LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_ n on the primary database. True Cache automatically configures these for the primary database.
