Oracle RAC 10.2.0.5 Install For redhat 5.8 (use raw device)

Oracle RAC 10.2.0.5 Install For redhat 5.8 (use raw device)

Because the customer's database needs to be patched, similar test environments are installed. You must first install Oracle RAC 10.2.0.1 and then upgrade it to 10.2.0.5. Because I have many articles about installation, this article only describes the key steps and the bug installation errors.

Note: I have tested it in RedHat 6.3 and cannot install it. It is mainly because it fails to pass the root. sh script. Changing to redhat 5.8 does not cause this problem.

Steps:
1. Firewall and selinux
2. kernel parameter
3. source limit
4. create user and group
5. Establish trust relationships
6. Install the dependency package
7. Configure user environment variables and passwords
8. Create a bare Device
9. Configure the ing File
10. Install grid
11. Upgrade grid
12. Configure vipca
13. Install database
14. Upgrade database
15. Create a rac Database

Because 10G does not have 11g built-in tools to easily connect to the channel, it is quite troublesome, but here I am still directly using the 11g software to decompress it and use its tools to automatically establish trust relationships.
Install the dependency package:
Yum install-y libXau * libxcb * libX11 * libXext * libICE * libuuid * libSM * libXt * libXi * libXtst * libXp * glibc-devel * libaio * compat-stdc + + * libXpm * libXp-devel * libXpm-devel * compat-libstdc ++ * gcc-4.4.6 * gcc-c ++ *

Create a bare device:
I am using a Virtual Box to create several disks. I would like to remind you that you need to set the attribute disk to share. Otherwise, an error will be reported. As mentioned in the previous article

There is no problem with installing the grid software, mainly when running the root. sh script.
The error "Failed to upgrade Oracle Cluster Registry configuration" may occur. The cause of this error is a bug which is explicitly stated in document 466673.1. So download
Patch 4679769
Decompress the patch and then:
Cp./4679769/clsfmt. bin/u01/app/crs/bin/clsfmt. bin
Overwrite it

Then test:
/U01/app/crs/bin/clsfmt. bin ocr/dev/raw/raw1
Clsfmt: successfully initialized file/dev/raw/raw1

Note that when you run the root. sh script again
Dd if =/dev/zero of =/dev/raw/raw1 bs = 1024 k count = 1000
Dd if =/dev/zero of =/dev/raw/raw2 bs = 1024 k count = 1000
Dd if =/dev/zero of =/dev/raw/raw3 bs = 1024 k count = 1000
Dd if =/dev/zero of =/dev/raw/raw4 bs = 1024 k count = 1000
Dd if =/dev/zero of =/dev/raw/raw5 bs = 1024 k count = 1000

Upgrade grid, you need to download: Both p8202632_10205_Linux-x86-64.zip grid and database Upgrade package here
Just step by step as prompted.
