Please see the PRIMECLUSTER Installation Guide for details on the supported
models and general configuration information.
An ORACLE 10g RAC
installation is supported on PRIMECLUSTER CF 4.1A20 or higher. See CF 4.1A20
release notes and CF 4.1A30 release notes for details on the supported models
and configuration.
The following
software products or software components are required for the use of
SMAWrac_10g:

This section is divided into two parts:
3.4.1 Describes the way Oracle 10g had to be installed prior to Oracle version 10.1.0.4 (without SMAWrac). It is also the first step for the recommended way to install Oracle 10g RAC on PRIMECLUSTER.
3.4.2 Lists the necessary steps to move from an Oracle 10g RAC installation as described in 3.4.1 to an installation with SMAWrac. If you had a prior Oracle 10g/PRIMECLUSTER installation follow these steps to integrate Oracle RAC 10g with SMAWrac for 10g.
3.4.3 Gives a brief overview of necessary steps to install Oracle 10g R2 (Oracle Release 10.2.0.1 or higher) on PRIMECLUSTER.
This description assumes that you have PRIMECLUSTER
already installed and configured on all the systems that should be part of the
Oracle 10g DB cluster.
Before you install the CRS (Cluster Ready Services),
please make sure that the library libskgxn2.so does not exist in the /opt/ORCLcluster/lib directories. This can be the case, if an
older Oracle RAC version has been installed before. If it exists please simply
move this library to libskgxn9.so.
After you started the Oracle Universal Installer as described in the Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation and Configuration Guide, you need to complete some generic information on the Cluster Configuration page. At this point of the CRS installation you will be asked to enter public and private node names of the systems that are part of this 10g RAC cluster. Use the host names that were assigned to CIP (FSC Cluster IP) as private host names.
For example if you configured a cluster with the nodes sys1 and sys2 you probably used sys1RMS and sys2RMS as private nodenames. The /etc/hosts then shows the following entries:
192.168.1.1
sys1RMS sys1rms
192.168.1.2
sys2RMS sys2rms
Also, use the cluster name you choose for PRIMECLUSTER as
Oracle clustername.
On the Specify Network Interface Usage page the OUI asks to assign the public
and private networks. In this step you choose the CIP (Cluster IP) network for
your private network addresses.
In our example the OUI will list a network 192.168.1.0. Choose this network
as the private network.
Now follow the steps described in the Oracle RAC Installation and Configuration Guide to configure the Cluster Registry device and the Voting Disk. It is recommended to use mirrored devices for both whenever possible.
Also check the additional notes in the next chapter.
Note: An earlier
version of this document described, how the CLSCFG_MISCNT parameter should be
altered when installing Oracle 10g RAC on PRIMECLUSTER. These steps are now
with availability of the SMAWrac for 10g obsolete.
Make sure 10.1.0.4 Oracle patchset with the Oracle patches (P4334900_10104_SOLARIS64 and p4450598_10104_SOLARIS64) or a higher Oracle version is installed. Install SMAWrac for 10g after you installed the required SMAWcf, SMAWpas patches (as listed in Chapter 3.3).
Shutdown Oracle
Shutdown CRS via /etc/init.d/init.crs stop
Remove libskgxn2.so in $ORA_CRS_HOME/lib.
Create a link libskgxn2.so to /opt/ORCLcluster/lib/libskgxn2.so in $ORA_CRS_HOME/lib
Edit root.sh on each node. There is a variable VNDR_CLUSTER in here that needs to be set to "true". So set this to true. This step is necessary to use the Oracle scripts for adding new nodes later.
Also (if necessary, because the CLSCFG_MISCNT has been manipulated before):
remove the line CLSCFG_MISCNT="-misscount
180" and remove $CLSCFG_MISCNT at the end of line 572
Start up a single node. In 10.1.0.4 you should be able to use /etc/init.d/init.crs start
Invoke "crsctl unset css
misscount", if you've overridden this to another
value before (as described in Chapter
3.4.2).
Restart CRS on this node.
Start CRS on all the remaining nodes.
Additional notes:
Please check if the correct interconnect is registered in the Oracle Cluster Registry:
You can use “oifcfg getif”
for this. For the cluster interconnect it should look
like this (example):
cip0
192.168.1.0 global cluster_interconnect.
To get all the interfaces listed:
oifcfg iflist
To add a cluster_interconnect
interconnect (example):
oifcfg setif -global
cip0/192.168.1.0:cluster_interconnect
To remove a cluster_interconnect
use (example):
oifcfg delif -global
cip0/192.168.8.0
This description assumes that you have PRIMECLUSTER including
SMAWrac for 10g installed and configured on all the systems that should be part
of the Oracle 10g DB cluster.
After you started the Oracle Universal Installer as described in the Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation and Configuration Guide 10g Release 2, you need to complete some generic information on the Cluster Configuration page. At this point of the CRS installation you will be asked to enter public and private node names of the systems that are part of this 10g RAC cluster. Use the host names that were assigned to CIP (FSC Cluster IP) as private host names.
For example if you configured a cluster with the nodes sys1 and sys2 you probably used sys1RMS and sys2RMS as private nodenames. The /etc/hosts then shows the following entries:
192.168.1.1
sys1RMS sys1rms
192.168.1.2
sys2RMS sys2rms
Also, use the cluster name you choose for PRIMECLUSTER as
Oracle clustername.
On the Specify Network Interface Usage page the OUI asks to assign the public
and private networks. In this step you choose the CIP (Cluster IP) network for
your private network addresses.
In our example the OUI will list a network 192.168.1.0. Choose this network
as the private network.
Now follow the steps described in the Oracle RAC Installation and Configuration Guide to configure the Cluster Registry device and the Voting Disk. It is recommended to use mirrored devices for both whenever possible.
Note: In Oracle 10g R2 the OUI optionally allows the use of a cluster configuration file to support the installation. This file has the following format: First line contains the clustername following that there is a line reserved for each system in the cluster. Each line should contain the system name, the private nodename, and the virtual IP address as required by VIPCA. Each item on a line is separated by a space.
For example:
CLUSTERNAME
sys1 sys1RMS sys1-v
sys2 sys2RMS sys2-v
You will be asked for the location of the cluster configuration file on the “Specify Cluster Configuration” screen of OUI.
