Step 47: I also like to create scripts to read them and see how and
why things are installed a particular way, although DBCA should be your
friend.
Step 48: OK
Step 49: Script Creation
Step 50: OK
Step 51: Start setup.
Step 52: If you are curious like me, you can check them on both nodes.
Step 53: you're curious like me, you can check them on both nodes
Step 54: Almost done. (Well it took me several hours to get all that
installed, so like I said you do not need to install all of that!)
Step 55: This is all fine; click OK. You can however unlock all
accounts you need by clicking on "Password Management."
Step 56: After this screen and voila! Your RAC installation is
complete!
Step 57: Now stop your Virtual Machines and BACKUP your whole VM +
Disks to some safe place where no one can destroy it!
Conclusion:
This was yet another project that involved a lot of work
and preparation. Remember to backup your scenario when it is fully working. I
had a situation when I could not prepare the Virtual Machines with shared array
on a faster computer! Moving it to a computer with some simpler but faster
disks made my installation work successfully. I have laid a lot of emphasis on
Print Screens for the sheer purpose of demonstrating that it really works! With
VMware you have created a fully workable RAC, which we will continue to test with
srvctl command line, Web Interface (Oracle's own home grown and now
leaner beast called OEM), in our next article.
