ACDB1.DOLMEN.BE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac1.dolmen.be)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = racdb.dolmen.be)
(INSTANCE_NAME = racdb1)
)
)

RACDB2.DOLMEN.BE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac2.dolmen.be)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = racdb.dolmen.be)
(INSTANCE_NAME = racdb2)
)
)

RACDB.DOLMEN.BE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac2.dolmen.be)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac1.dolmen.be)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = racdb.dolmen.be)
)
)

RACDBF.DOLMEN.BE =

(enable = broken)
(CONNECT_DATA =

Shalom Mir,

There are SG changes in inetd.conf, primarily the -c option added in order to have proper network communication.

Very important to follow the pre install patching and instructions from ORacle precisely.

Thats a general oracle issue.

BTW, posting your email addresses to a site like this that google indexes makes it very easy for spammers to harvest your address.

I recommend posting to this thread and getting your email addresses edited out of the post.

Luk,
Thanks for the reply and document I don't know Dutch language. Please can you send the document in English with detail steps?

Shalom,
Thanks for the advice I will keep in my mind from next time.

I have done Oracle9i RAC on Solaris 9.0, but on HP-UX 11i 11.11, I have done only Oracle9i dedicated server installation. It will be great help if some one gives me details and complete document in English, how to install Oracle10g Release 2 RAC on HP-UX.

I used the documentation from Oracle's document page.

I hope it helps you out.

Here is the link for all of the versions.

You do not need Service Guard and SGE for RAC anylonger. Oracle released a software called CRS (cluster ready server) in 10g version. If you want to install 10g RAC, first of all install CRS on you servers and after that install your dtabase. there are some difference between traditional HP-UX RAC system with SG and the new Oracle CRS. For example CRS do not support NIC Failover.
For the purpose of shared storage, you can use RAW or newly Oracle storage system that is called ASM (automatic storage management). You cannot use SLVM with CRS, becuase you do not have SGE RAC anylonger.
