[Ocfs2-users] RAC Shared Home Installation

[SCOTT, Gavin]

For anyone who encounters a similar problem, the answer seems to be associated with note 270048.1, which deals with 9.2.0.5 using the 10g OUI.

The problem was that the inventory.xml file did not contain both nodes in the oracle 10g home, however it did contain both for the CRS home. This meant that both nodes were seen when the CRS home was selected for a 10g install (which of course you can't do), but when the 10g home was selected only 1 node was visible.
 
Updating the inventory.xml file by hand (while probably not recommended, note 270048.1 shows another method) solved the problem and allowed an install into a shared home. Configuration files were successfully transferred to both nodes automatically.

Subject: [Ocfs2-users] RAC Shared Home Installation



Hi, 

I've installed OCFS2 & CRS successfully on 2 RHES 4 nodes and now wish to install RAC into a shared home. 

The Node Selection page on the OUI only displays node1 and goes through the installation without any reference to node2. Is this correct or should both nodes in the cluster be detected and displayed?

There seems to be bit of a shortage of information on how to install to a shared Oracle home: are there any specific steps for a shared Oracle home, such as manually propagating files to node2, or should it all happen automatically?

Thanks in advance, 
Gavin Scott
