Installing Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure using the Oracle Universal Installer
This section provides instructions for installing the Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure software using the Oracle Universal Installer. The software is installed on each node in the Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure home directory.
To install Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure using the Oracle Universal Installer
- Log in as the Oracle grid user. On the first node, set the DISPLAY variable.
For Bourne Shell (bash), type:
$ DISPLAY=10.20.12.150:0.0;export DISPLAY
where 10.20.12.150 is the IP address of X server where you want to export the display for the installer.
For C Shell (csh or tcsh), type:
$ setenv DISPLAY 10.20.12.150:0.0
where 10.20.12.150 is the IP address of X server where you want to export the display for the installer.
- Start the Oracle Universal Installer on the first node.
- Enter the required information when prompted by the Oracle Universal Installer.
See Required installation information for Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure.
- Review the configuration summary presented by the Oracle Universal Installer. The Oracle Universal Installer begins the Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure installation.
Note:
For Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 and later versions: If you want to save the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation configuration into a response file for future installations, click the Save Response File option on the Summary page of the Oracle Universal Installer.
- At the end of the Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure installation, run the following configuration scripts as the root user from each node in the cluster, in the listed order:
orainstRoot.sh (located in the oraInventory directory)
Ensure that the script exists on each node before proceeding.
root.sh (located in the CRS_HOME or GRID_HOME directory, depending on your Oracle RAC version)
Note:
For Oracle 12c or later installations, you may skip this step if you selected the option Automatically run configuration scripts.
- Return to the Oracle Universal Installer window and click OK to continue. The Oracle Universal Installer informs you that the Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure installation was successful. The Oracle Clusterware/Grid Infrastructure daemons are started on the node.
