Oracle 9.0.1 RAC on HPUX11.11 MCSG

[Siva Prasad]

I am trying to install oracle 9.0.1 on a HPUX 11.11 MC service guard. In the installation wizard i got the option to choose all other nodes to install apart from the node on which i am installing. But in is not getting installed on the second node. It is only installing on the first node. Did i miss any step in installation? Do i need to do any other setting?

Hi,
I am not DBA or Oracle consultant!
Did you set the .rhosts properly in all the RAC nodes?
Basically when you start installation and select the nodes, it will copy (distribute) the banaries to all the nodes using rcp.
Also verify the group/users are created for Oracle owner in all the servers. These users and groups should have same uid/gid in all systems!

Hi Siva

If the cluster is setup properly and latest patches have been applied, please refer to Oracle Metalink site for assitance.

In the old days, we used to do the following:
1. Set up the shared disks on one node in the server.
2. Change the hostname on the server to the floating IP address hostname.
3. Install the Oracle software and database on the shared disks on the "package hostname".
4. change the hostnames back to what they should be.

Then the Oracle install has put the correct (floating IP address/hostname) in all of the places that it should and the package can fail over to theh other node...
