Setting up an Oracle 11G R2 Real Application Cluster (RAC) using Single Client Access Name (scan IP)
<<Setup of OpenFiler(SAN) Setup of Node1>>
Setup of Oracle Linux Server
Start the setup by booting Enterprise-R5-U6-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso
Packets to be loaded (without loading sound, office, video, etc. tools)
| Desktop Environments | Gnome Desktop Environment |
| Applications | Editors Graphical Internet Text-based Internet |
| Development | Development Libraries Development Tools Legacy Software Development |
| Servers | Server Configuration Tools |
| Base System | Administration Tools Base Java Legacy Software Support System Tools X Window System |
It’s good practice to make sure that the setup was successfully completed and that all services are running before taking the necessary security precautions.
The more services/programs/processes that are running, the longer it can take to find the cause of any problems.
(Example: The firewall could be blocking client access to the database, looking for the cause this inaccessibility within Oracle’s own services would be a waste of time.)
(Approx 60Gb of disk space was used with this particular setup however it is recommended to reserve at least 150-200Gb for a production environment as 50-60Gb dump files can be created).
