This entry is part 6 of 10 in the series 11gR2 RAC on x86 64bit Solaris 10

11gR2 RAC on x86 64bit Solaris 10

This section describes various steps in configuring the Operating System.
Once you have booted your server, and logged in as root, perform the following tasks

Configure network interfaces and hosts file

  • Configuring /etc/hosts file

    • Make the following entries in your /etc/hosts file. Since I am not using DNS, I am using a SCAN entry in the /etc/hosts file. This is not the recommended method but is used her for demonstration purposes.

#Public IP
192.168.1.200   rac-node-01     rac-node-01.localdomain             loghost
192.168.1.201   rac-node-02     rac-node-02.localdomain             loghost
 
#Private IP
10.10.10.1      rac-node-01-priv.localdomain
10.10.10.2      rac-node-02-priv.localdomain
 
#Virtual IP
192.168.1.202   rac-node-01-vip.localdomain
192.168.1.203   rac-node-02-vip.localdomain
 
#SCAN IP
192.168.1.221   rac-node.localdomain    rac-scan
  • Configure the network interfaces

    • By default, since the network interface was added later (after OS installation) to the Virtual machine, the only interfaces “plumbed” or attached to the system will be the loopback adapter and the first network card added before OS installation.

        ether 0:c:29:76:93:7e

    Plumb the private network interface as follows

# ifconfig -a

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
        ether 0:c:29:76:93:88
#

    You can see that no address is alloted to the e1000g1 network interface. We will now assign an IP address for the private interface (refer to the /etc/hosts for the relevant entry) as follows.

    # ifconfig e1000g1 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up
# ifconfig e1000g1
e1000g1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 5
        inet 10.10.10.1 netmask ff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
        ether 0:c:29:76:93:88

    We will not configure an IP for (VIP). This will be configured during CRS setup by Oracle Installer, the VIP address will bind to the public interface.

  • Make changes permanent

    • These changes will not be permanent (across reboots). Perform the following tasks to make the changes persistent

Configure Disks for ASM, Binary and Staging area

  • Create disks for CRS Home, Oracle Home and Stage are for Installation disk

    To do this, you need to first format the 8GB disks and create file systems for those disks and mount them.

    Run the format command to get the list of disks and choose the disk.
    We are choosing disk 10, 11, 12 since these are the disks which are 8GB disks for CRS, Oracle Home and Staging area. The size can be arrived at using the prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t??d0s0 command

    Follow all the steps carefully as described below

Create base disks for ACFS

All the disks (of 1GB and 2GB size) have to be formatted and initialized as follows so that they are detected during installation of CRS

From the format command, we have got the list of the disks as follows

Configure users, groups and permissions

Though with 11gr2, best practices suggest that you create separate DBA and OPERATOR groups for ASM too, we are going to create just one user for both oracle and crs, with dba as the primary group

# groupadd -g 1000 oinstall
# groupadd -g 1001 dba
# useradd -u 100 -g oinstall -G dba -d /export/home/oracle -s /usr/bin/ksh oracle

Now that the user and groups are added, we can change the ownership of the following partitions as follows

  • Configure swap space

    • At this stage, you can shutdown the host and from vmware console add a new disk of 3 GB , to be used for swap.

    Once added, you can configure the swap space using this disk as follows
