Previous:\u00a0<\/strong>Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure<\/a><\/p>\n

You can start database installation from <stage>\/database directory as follows. Make sure to use database owner user oracle.<\/p>\n

[oracle@dbhost1 ~]$ cd \/mnt\/hgfs\/Setup\/database\/<\/strong><\/p>\n

[oracle@dbhost1 database]$ .\/runInstaller<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deselect the checkbox and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Yes<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “Skip software updates<\/strong>” and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “Create and configure a database<\/strong>“. We can also install database software and later create database using DBCA. But here we will choose to create database as well. Click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “Server class<\/strong>” and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “Oracle Real Application Clusters database installation” and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “Admin managed” and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Make sure to select both nodes. Click “SSH connectivity<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Test<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This confirms that passwordless ssh is setup between both nodes with oracle user. Click OK<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “Advanced install<\/strong>” and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “Enterprise Edition<\/strong>” and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select Oracle base as above and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “General purpose” and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter Global database name as “rac12c.paramlabs.com” or whichever desired name and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select appropriate total memory to be assigned. Click on “Character sets<\/strong>” tab<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “Unicode<\/strong>” and click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select “File system” and enter value as “\/u01\/oradata”. Click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note: Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Express is always installed and configured by default irrespective of whether you register Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since we do not have 12c Cloud control yet, we have kept it unchecked. If you have one then provide details here and click Next
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since this is only for testing, we are deselecting recovery. If required then check this. Click Next
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are entering same password for all users here to keep everything simple. Click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click Yes<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select appropriate groups but here we are using only “dba<\/strong>” group. Click Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The error for SCAN is since we are not using DNS. We can manually make sure that SCAN is reachable from both nodes.<\/p>\n

It will prompt us to execute above script as root user on both nodes manually.<\/p>\n

This concludes 12c RAC database installation. A lot of new posts will come soon where we will discuss the new features, tips and tricks of 12c. Also a new set of trainings will be introduced for 12c as we explore 12c in more details.<\/p>\n

Happy learning !<\/p>\n
