Oracle Database Creation

The Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) can now be used to fully configure Real Application Clusters (RAC) environment. In order to use this new feature there are various prerequisites that must be met:

• Shared disk subsystem must in place whose details we have covered extensively in previous chapter. RAW partitions or Oracle Cluster File System or a certified CFS provided by your system vendor must be installed and configured. If planning to use the ASM, ASM resources (disk devices) should be available.
   

• Oracle Cluster Ready Services must be installed and configured (this encompasses what were formally Oracle Cluster Manager (oracm) and the global services daemon (GSD). In addition to GSD, the CRS starts the EVMD, CSSD, and CRSD daemons.
   

• The Oracle Database 10g software must be installed, as we described in the previous section.
