Storage Foundation for Oracle® RAC 7.4.1 Configuration and Upgrade Guide - Solaris

To configure static IP addresses for HAIP using the SF Oracle RAC script-based installer

1. From the SF Oracle RAC menu, enter 3 to select the option Oracle Network Configuration.

   1) Create Oracle Users and Groups
   2) Create Storage for OCR and Voting disk
   3) Oracle Network Configuration
   4) Exit SF Oracle RAC Configuration
   b) Back to previous menu
   Choose option: [1-4,b,q] (1) 3

2. Enter 1 to select the option Configure private IP addresses (For HAIP Configuration) - For Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later.

   1) Configure private IP addresses (For HAIP Configuration) 
   - For Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later
   2) Configure private IP addresses (PrivNIC Configuration) 
   - For Oracle RAC prior to 11.2.0.2
   3) Configure private IP addresses (MultiPrivNIC Configuration) 
   - For Oracle RAC prior to 11.2.0.2
   4) Exit SF Oracle RAC Configuration
   b) Back to previous menu
   Choose option: 1-3,b,q (1) 1

   The installer discovers available LLT links.

3. Enter y to add the IP addresses to the /etc/hosts file.

   Do you want the Installer to add IP addresses in /etc/hosts
   file? [y,n,q] (y)

   Enter n if you choose to add the IP addresses to the file manually and provide the following information:

   Enter the IP for net1 on sys1: [b] 192.168.12.1
   Enter the IP for net2 on sys1: [b] 192.168.13.1
   Enter the IP for net1 on sys2: [b] 192.168.12.2
   Enter the IP for net2 on sys2: [b] 192.168.13.2

   Go to step 5.

4. Perform this step only if you enabled the installer to add the IP address to the /etc/hosts file in the previous step. Provide the private IP address and the private node name for the IP address that must be added to the file.

   Note:

   All IP addresses must be in the same subnet, failing which Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure will not be able to communicate properly across the nodes. If the private IP address entries are already present in the /etc/hosts file on one of nodes in the cluster, the installer does not update the file with the specified IP addresses on any of the nodes in the cluster. Only those IP addresses that are not already present in the file on any node are added.

   Enter the IP for net1 on sys1: [b] 192.168.12.1
   Enter Hostname alias for the above IP address: [b] sys1-haip1
   Enter the private IP for net2 on sys1: [b] 192.168.13.1
   Enter Hostname alias for the above IP address: [b] sys1-haip2
   Enter the IP for net1 on sys2: [b] 192.168.12.2
   Enter Hostname alias for the above IP address: [b] sys2-haip1
   Enter the private IP for net2 on sys2: [b] 192.168.13.2
   Enter Hostname alias for the above IP address: [b] sys2-haip2

5. Enter the netmask information for the private network:

   Enter the Netmask for private network: [b] (255.255.255.0)

   The SF Oracle RAC installer now displays the configuration information.

6. Enter y to review and confirm the configuration information. The installer updates the/etc/hosts file (if you chose an installer-based update).
7. If you chose to add the IP address information to the /etc/hosts file manually, proceed to update the file as described in the following procedure.
