Oracle RAC install on hpux

[Simeon Harwood]

Afternoon all, I'm going to atempt an Oracle 9i RAC install on HPUX.
I've done this on Linux using Veritas cluster, and done it OK, but now it's time to try it on Service guard and hpux

Hpux 11i
Serviceguard 11.16
extension for RAC 11.16
Enterprise cluster master tool kit 2.10

Does anyone have any good install notes to follow?

Ta,
Sime.

1) Get the serviceguard working properly with a packageless cluster. Then at least you should be able to know SG is right before you start modifying the configuration for RAC.

Thanks Stephen.
I had a look at the doc specifiaclly for RAC, and I already had that one.
I've had one go at installing it already and got and error message when trying to use dbca to create a database, and there was no mention of this in the doc. I've had a look and didn't find much to help me out.

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ ls gs*
gsd gsd.sh gsdctl
$ ./gsdctl start
Failed to start GSD on local node
$

I did find one other thread on the ITRC, but I tried that and it still didn't work.
