Section H (Create Oracle User and Group)
Step 1 Create Oracle Users and Group (in all Nodes)
Log in as a root and execute:
# groupadd oinstall
# groupadd dba
# mkdir -p /export/home/oracle
# useradd -d /export/home/oracle -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# chown oracle:dba /export/home/oracle
# passwd oracle
New Password:
Re-enter new Password:
passwd: password successfully changed for oracle
Section: G (Prepare Disk for OCR, Voting and ASM Storage)
1. Run below mention command on first node
$devfsadm
2. Log on to RAC1 node and complete bellow mention procedure.
Here we will create following partition:
c0d1s0 for OCR Disk
c0d1s1 for Voting Disk
c0s1s3 form ASM Disk
c0s1s4 from ASM Disk
c0s1s5 from ASM Disk
3. Complete bellow mention steps for creating partition
$format
4. Set ownership of Disk (Note: This will be done after creating Oracle user and dba group)
Default owner is root:sys needs to be changed to oracle:dba .We need to set oracle:dba ( here oracle is a Oracle owner and dba is a group) ownership of the disk.
Check ownership of Disk. Execute following command for all slice as a root user.
Example:
$ ls -lhL /dev/rdsk/c0d1s0
crw-r----- 1 root sys 118, 64 Feb 16 02:10 /dev/rdsk/c0d1s0
$ chown oracle:dba /dev/rdsk/c0d1s0
Section H (Configure SSH)
Step 1 Create .SSH, and Create RSA Keys on Each Node
Log in as an Oracle/CRS user and execute bellow steps
$ mkdir ~/.ssh
$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh
$ cd .ssh
$ /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa
At the prompts:
Accept the default location for the key file (press Enter).
Enter and confirm a pass phrase unique for this installation user.
Step 2 Add All Keys to a Common authorized_keys File
On the primary node (RAC1), change directories to the .ssh directory. Then, add the RSA key to the authorized_keys file.
$ cd .ssh
$ cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
$ ls
In the .ssh directory, you should see the id_rsa.pub keys that you have created, and the file authorized_keys.
Step 3 Copy authorized_key file to all cluster node (RAC2)
$ scp authorized_keys RAC2:/export/home/oracle/.ssh/
The authenticity of host 'rac2 (192.168.0.222)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is c0:1f:20:34:54:b2:cd:9f:42:f2:d6:25:36:2f:3e:db.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'rac2,192.168.0.222' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Password:
authorized_keys 100% |*****************************| 221 00:00
Step 4 Log in on second node (RAC2) and Add the RSA keys for the second node (RAC2) to the authorized_keys file:
$cd .ssh
$cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
Step 5 Copy authorized_key file to all cluster node (RAC2)
$ scp authorized_keys RAC1:/export/home/oracle/.ssh/
Step 6 Enabling SSH User Equivalency on Cluster Member Nodes. On the system where you want to run OUI, log in as the ORACLE/CRS user and execute:
$ ssh RAC1 date
$ ssh RAC2 date
$ ssh RAC1-PRIV date
$ ssh RAC2-PRIV date
Section I (Configure DNS Client)
(Optional Steps)
DNS Server IP : 192.168.157.10
Domain Name : indiandba.com
1. Prepare a list of domains to search and the IP addresses of the DNS name servers on your network.
$ svccfg -s network/dns/client
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/search = astring: ("domain1" "domain2")
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = net_address: (address1 address2)
domain* refers to domain names such as example.com, sales.my-example.com, and so on. address* are IP addresses of your DNS servers.
svc:/network/dns/client> select network/dns/client:default
svc:/network/dns/client:default> refresh
svc:/network/dns/client:default> validate
2. Specify the name service switch to use DNS.
svc:/network/dns/client:default> select name-service/switch
svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/host = astring: "files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> select system/name-service/switch:default
svc:/system/name-service/switch:default> refresh
svc:/system/name-service/switch:default> validate
svc:/system/name-service/switch:default> quit
3. Start the services that are needed to run the DNS client
$ svcadm enable dns/client
$ svcadm enable name-service/switch
Validate /etc/resolv.conf
Solaris & Scripting: Configure DNS in Solaris 11 (solaris-scripting-judi.blogspot.com)
Section C (Specify default gateway)
specifying the default gateway to some dummy ip address (same subnet) in both virtual machines.
$ vi /etc/defaultrouter and add the IPADDRESS of your router.
EXAMPLE:
vi /etc/defaultrouter
192.168.157.100
reboot to test. or netstat -r (This will show the current routing table)
Another Example: route add destination gateway
Example:
netstat –r (This will now show your 'new' default gateway).
