Oracle 12c RAC Installation on oracle solaris 11.1 on Vmware

This is a very detailed post for configuring Oracle 12c RAC  on Solaris 11.1 X86-64bit Operating system. It consists of more than 100 screen shots. There are many bloggers who demonstrated  all new 12c RAC installation  on Linux and windows. This demonstration is on oracle solaris 11.1 (X86-64Bit)

This configuration is deployed on 2 Oracle Solaris 11.1  virtual machines hosting on vmware server 2.0 and I have used windows 2003 as DNS Server for resolving scan-name.

Listed below software's are used for building 12 RAC:

1) VMware Server 2.0 Installed on windows 7
2) Oracle Solaris 11.1 text Installer
3) Oracle Solaris package repository Images
4) Oracle 12c Grid Infrastructure for Solairs-X86-64bit
5) Oracle 12c Database for Solairs-X86-64bit

I will perform this Installation in four parts:

Part1:-    Creation  of virtual machines
Part2:-    Installation of Oracle Solaris 11.1 operating including GI pre-reuisites
Part3:-    Installation of 12c Grid Infrastructure software
Part4:-    Installation and creation of 12c RAC Database


12c RAC Deployment Server  Architecture:







Part1:- Creation  of virtual machines

- Login to vmware server console and create new virtual machine:




















=> Created directory solshare in"Standard" - datastore to create share able disks.








=> Similarly create 3 others disks:

gdisk2          : SCSCI1:1 => 2GB
datadisk1     : SCSCI1:2 => 5GB
datadisk2     : SCSCI1:3 => 5GB

gdiks1, gdisk2 => OCR and Voting disk
datadisk1, datadisk2 => Database





=> Add additional NW adapter for Private Interconnect




- Complete virtual machine configuration. use solaris-11 text media  for OS installation and power on virtual machine.



Part2:-    Installation of Oracle Solaris 11.1 operating including GI pre-reuisites

Please follow the steps as listed to complete OS Installation:










- Select default Install solaris



- Select local disk


- Select all default partition




- Provide host name


- Select manual for configuring network configuration


- configure nte0 (Public NW)


- 192.168.1.91 is the address of DNS Server and default router. If your dont have any DNS Server then you can skip entry for router


- provide Server address for DNS and domain name









- Select Required time zone


- Provide password for root and another user account





- verify the configuration before proceeding with Install option




- reboot it after completion of installation



- Solaris text installer will run in only command line mode. To enable GUI mode we need to Install some additional packages. So listed below steps are for configuring IPS (new feature in solaris 11) for Installation of additional packages. IPS uses same concept of YUM



SOL_11_1_REPO_FULL is the full media of both image files for repository. Here I am using local disk without network for configuring repository.

If required more understanding for IPS please refer my another post:

http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2013/03/configuration-of-ips-on-oracle-solaris11.html




- IPS is configured on local disk and we can Install OS packages as required.



- This package will enable GUI


- This package is required to run oracle Installer
- After successful Installation of both of these packages reboot machine and you will find GUI enabled






Now Install vmware tools:

The installation of VMware Tools 7.7.6 build-203138 for Solaris completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by

The configuration of VMware Tools 7.7.6 build-203138 for Solaris for this
running kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.

You will need to either manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user or log out and log
back in to this desktop session to obtain the following features: guest
resolution fit, drag and drop, and file and text copy/paste.  vmware-user is
configured to automatically start at a graphical login, but that won't take
effect until the next login.

The installed vmxnet driver will be used for all vlance and vmxnet network
devices on this system.  Existing vlance devices will transition from the pcn
driver to the vmxnet driver on the next reconfiguration reboot.  You will need
to verify your network settings accordingly.

If you have configured a pcn interface, the corresponding files are now renamed
to use the vmxnet device name to ensure the interface will be brought up
properly upon reboot.  For example, the following commands were performed:
  # mv /etc/hostname.pcn0 /etc/hostname.vmxnet0
  # mv /etc/hostname6.pcn0 /etc/hostname6.vmxnet0
  # mv /etc/dhcp.pcn0 /etc/dhcp.vmxnet0
and will cause the Solaris Service Management Facility to bring up the first
vmxnetX interface using the configuration of your current pcnX interface.

Enjoy,

- Clone virtual machine for RAC 

  • create folder solrac2
  • copy all files of solrac1 to folder solrac2
  • rename file solrac1.vmx to solrac2.vmx
  • chnage displayName to solrac2
- Add virtual machine to Inventory:



-  Power ON virtual machine





- Change Hostname and IP addresses:



- Changed hotsname from solrac1 to solarc2




- Changed IP address of both interfaces for solrac2


 - Verify /etc/hosts file




- Make sure shared devices are visible with proper privileges



- Make sure that Public and private networks are repsonding to each other and they are able to resolve scan name. "scan-solrac" has been configured on windows DNS Server.

- If you don't have DNS Server then you can keep one single entry in /etc/hosts file. configuring scan in hosts file is not recommended by oracle.



- Entries added in Windows DNS Server:



- Make sure that Display variable is working properly




Part3:-    Installation of 12c Grid Infrastructure software

Insert iso image of 12c Grid Infrastructure software for solarisX86-64Bit

Start Installer











- Add entry for second node which is going to be a part of cluster
- Provide scan-name as "scan-solrac"



- Provide "grid" user password and run setup SSH




- Setup of ssh completed successfully.



- Provide location of ORACLE_BASE
- Select Cluster Registry Storage  Type - Oracle Automatic Storage management





- Provide Disk Group Name as GIRD  for OCR and Voting Disk.
- select first 2 disks (2GB) with external redundancy




It seems to be a bug. Though provided password was correct Installer was not accepting it. This is the new option introduced in 12c. It will be really helpful if it could run scripts on its own.


- deselect that option




- Click on Fix & check Again option, it will prompt you to run fixup script


- Error details


- Run fixup script



- again running pre-requisite checks




- Reboot node2 (solrac2) and check again, it should be successfull









- Running orainstRoot.sh and root.sh scripts on  both nodes as mentioned

Hello, great job putting this together.

I'm working through the same installation and have an issue and was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction. My problem is with the "Changing device permissions" section. When I run the "ls -lrt" commands, the disks that were created (2/2/5/5GBs) are not displaying. Not sure where I went wrong. When I created the 4 disks with VMware it went smooth. I run the "sudo format" and see the 4 new disks too. But they do not show up when I run the "ls -lrt" command.

I found my issue with the post I made earlier, I was not running the label command at the end of the format process, as a result my setting were not be persisted.

I'm dealing with a different issue now that I've been stuck on. The section in your post labeled: "Edit parameters in file listed only in blue colour". My vmx file doesn't have the parameters that you put in blue font. I'm thinking it's due to me having the most current version of VMware Workstation 10, and maybe they've changed something. I have a 2 node RAC, both nodes have the two shared 5GB drives configured to for their use. My problem, is when I start the 2nd Node of the RAC, it says that the two 5GB drives are locked, cause the first rac node already has a lock on it. Any ideas on how\why I can get these shared?

Okay, last post for me, I didn't realize that the parameters in blue font were new params, I added the new params on both VMs, and then was able to start both Solaris VMs within my 2 node RAC while each were using the same 5GB data disks. Thank you for your work on this post once again.
