Oracle Grid Infrastructure Install

Basic Grid Infrastructure Install (without GNS and IPMI)

• Shutdown all Oracle Processes running on all nodes (not necessary if performing the install on new servers)

• Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by running setup.exe as the Local Administrator user fromthe Clusterware (db directory if using the DVD Media) directory on the 11g Release 2(11.2.0.1) installation media.

• If using the DVD installation media (from edelivery.oracle.com) the first screen to appear will be the Select a Product to Install screen. Choose Oracle Clusterware 11g and click next to continue. If theOTN media is used the RDBMS/ASM and Clusterware are separate downloads and the first screen tobe displayed will be the Welcome screen .

•  On the Select Installation Option Screen, choose Install and Configure Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster and click Next to continue.

 On the Select Installation Type screen, choose Advanced Installation and click Next to continue.

 Choose the appropriate language on the Select Product Languages screen and click Next to
continue.

On the Grid Plug and Play Information screen perform the following:

• Enter the desired Cluster Name, this name should be unique for the enterprise and CAN NOT
  be changed post installation.
• Enter the SCAN Name for the cluster. The SCAN Name must be a DNS entry resolving to 3
  IP addresses. The SCAN Name MUST NOT be in the hosts file.
• Enter the port number for the SCAN Listener, this port defaults to 1521.
• Uncheck the Configure GNS checkbox.
• Click Next to continue.

 Add all of the cluster nodes hostnames and Virtual IP hostnames on the Cluster Node Information
Screen. By default the OUI only knows about the local node, additional nodes can be added using the
Add button.

On the Specify Network Interface Usage screen, make sure that the public and private interfaces are
properly specified. Make the appropriate corrections on this screen and click Next to continue.
NOTE: The public and private interface names MUST be consistent across the cluster, so if Public is public and Private is private, the same MUST be true on all of the other nodes in the cluster.

 Choose Automatic Storage Management (ASM) on the Storage Option Information screen and
click Next to create the ASM diskgroup for Grid Infrastructure.

 On the Create ASM Disk Group screen perform the following:

• Enter the Disk Group Name that will store the OCR and Voting Disks
• Choose  for the Redundancy level.
• Select the disks that were previously designated for the OCR and Voting Disks.

NOTE
If no Candidate disks are available the disks have not yet been stamped for use by ASM. To stamp the disks review the instructions in the Storage Prerequisites section of this document and click the Stamp Disks button on this screen.
Click Next to continue.

Enter the appropriate passwords for the SYS and ASMSNMP users of ASM on the Specify ASM
Passwords screen and click Next to continue.

On the Failure Isolation Support screen choose Do not use Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI) and click Next to continue.

Specify the location for Oracle Base (e.g. d:\app\oracle) and the Grid Infrastructure Installation (e.g.
d:\OraGrid) on the Specify Installation Location screen. Click Next to allow the OUI to perform
the prerequisite checks on the target nodes.
NOTE
Continuing with failed prerequisites may result in a failed installation; therefore it is recommended that failed prerequisite checks be resolved before continuing.

After the prerequisite checks have successfully completed, review the summary of the pending installation and click Finish to install and configure Grid Infrastructure.

On the Finish screen click Close to exit the OUI.

Once the installation has completed, check the status of the CRS resources as follows:
NOTE
All resources should report as online with the exception of GSD and OC4J? . GSD will only be online if Grid Infrastructure is managing a 9i database and OC4J? is reserved for use in a future release. Though these resources are offline it is NOT supported to remove them.
