How to Install Oracle Database Software

Before You Begin

Ensure that Oracle Grid Infrastructure is installed. See Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure Software.

1. Become superuser on a cluster member.
2. If you plan to install Oracle Database software on a cluster file system, start the Oracle Solaris Cluster software and become the owner of the device group.

   If you plan to install Oracle Database software at another location, omit this step.

   For more information about installation locations, see Preparing the Oracle Solaris Cluster Nodes and Disks.

3. Install Oracle Database software.

   Before you start the Oracle Database installation, ensure that the system resources required for Oracle Database are configured. Log in as oracle to ensure ownership of the entire directory before you perform this step. See the appropriate Oracle Database installation and configuration guides for instructions about how to install Oracle Database software.

   Tip  -  You can use Oracle Solaris Resource Management (SRM) to ensure that the kernel parameters are set to at least the minimum values that Oracle Database software requires. For more information about setting the Oracle Database kernel parameters, see How to Set the Oracle Database Kernel Parameters. After the system resources are configured for Oracle Database, you can start the installation itself.
