Hello all,

I want to configure 2 node RAC according to the procedure:

1. Install GI software-only (first node)
2. Apply patch GI (first node)
3. Configure GI for Cluster
4. Install DB software only
5. Apply RDBMS patch

Please explain how to do it correctly?
I do not know how to properly perform these steps: 2, 3 and 5

Best regards

Welcome to the forum. Please read our OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

The instructions for your steps 2 and 5 are included with the patch. Have you read them yet? At completion of your step 1, you will be instructed to run a script that will launch the configuration wizards.

Which patch? Not all patches are created equal.

Cheers,
Brian

Hi there,

you have to install Software Only on both nodes and before executing (do not execute) root.sh and orainstRoot.sh, you have to install PSU.
Keep the GUI screen open telling you that you have to run both scripts.

Just stage your patch in a directory on all nodes (for example /datas/tmp/PSU/22191349).
Check that you have opatch in the correct version, if not download p6880880 for your env.

But as your cluster is not yet configured, you have to apply all patches with opatch instead of opatchauto.
$GRID_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply <staging_area> -oh $GRID_HOME -local
Once your patches are all installed on all nodes, you can execute root.sh and orainstRoot.sh on all nodes.

these steps completed, you can configure your cluster with $GRID_HOME/crs/config/config.sh.

And then you can install your DBMS software and apply patch.

Hope it helps
