Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.4 Installation Screenshots
This page shows the installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.4 which I performed as part of the Oracle Linux 6.7 with Oracle 11.2.0.4 RAC installation cookbook.
First of all we need to run the installer, making sure to unset any Oracle environment variables which might interfere with the installation process (to be honest I should also check the PATH environment variable here but I happen to know it’s not got any Oracle stuff in it):
[oracle@dbserver01 ~]$ unset ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH [oracle@dbserver01 ~]$ Install/11204/grid/runInstaller Starting Oracle Universal Installer... Checking Temp space: must be greater than 120 MB. Actual 44626 MB Passed Checking swap space: must be greater than 150 MB. Actual 4095 MB Passed Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 16777216 Passed Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2016-04-07_02-55-10PM. Please wait ...
Having run the installer, we start by skipping the software updates:
We then choose the option to Install and Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster:
At the Specify Cluster Configuration screen we add the SCAN Name of dbscan.local and then click on the Add button to add the second node:
This brings up the Add Cluster Node Information box, in which we can add dbserver02.local with its virtual IP address of dbserver02-vip.local:
Clicking OK takes us back to the Specify Cluster Configuration screen again. If not already configured, it’s time to setup the SSH connectivity. Clicking on the SSH Connectivity button brings up the option to add the OS Password for the oracle user, after which we click Setup:
Once SSH has been configured we can move to the next screen, which allows us to Specify Install Locations. The Oracle Base location defaults to /u01/app/oracle but I’ve had to override the Software Location to /u01/app/11.2.0/grid. I’ve also chosen a password for the SYSASM user and set the OSASM group to be dba:
Next we need to configure the ASM disk devices. My initial ASM diskgroup defaults to DATA but I need to set the Redundancy to EXTERNAL because I’m using an All Flash Array which has built in redundancy. None of the devices I’ve allocated will initially show up because I need to modify the ASM_DISKSTRING parameter. I do this by clicking on the Change Discovery Path button:
I configured my LUNs with names such as /dev/mapper/oradata* and /dev/mapper/orareco* so I’ll set the Disk Discovery Path value to /dev/mapper/ora* and click OK to return to the previous screen:
Now I can see my devices in the Add Disks box. I’ll select all eight of the oradata* devices to place into the +DATA diskgroup, leaving behind the two orareco* devices for use later on when I configure the +RECO diskgroup:
The Perform Prerequisite Checks screen complains that I don’t have enough swap space. However, I disagree – so I’m going to override it by clicking on the Ignore All checkbox and then clicking Next:
Now we’re good to go. Here’s the Summary screen, on which I will click the Install button:
After some time the installer asks me to Execute Configuration Scripts on both nodes as the root user:
So first I’ll run the orainstRoot.sh script on each of my servers in turn, starting with dbserver01:
[root@dbserver01 ~]# sh /u01/app/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh Changing permissions of /u01/app/oraInventory. Adding read,write permissions for group. Removing read,write,execute permissions for world. Changing groupname of /u01/app/oraInventory to oinstall. The execution of the script is complete.
The output from dbserver02 is identical so I won’t repeat it here.
Now I’ll run the root.sh script on dbserver01:
[root@dbserver01 ~]# sh /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/root.sh
Performing root user operation for Oracle 11g

You can see that, as part of the execution of this script on dbserver01, an ASM instance was created, the diskgroup DATA was created and then the OCR and voting disk elements of Grid Infrastructure were created.
Now to run the root.sh script on dbserver02. The output will be shorter because the cluster entities already exist – the second node merely needs to join the cluster:
[root@dbserver02 ~]# sh /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/root.sh

Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster ... succeeded
On completion of this script for both servers I return to the Execute Configuration Scripts box and click OK. After a while I see the final screen telling me that the installation was a success:
My cluster is now active. I can check this by setting my environment to the corresponding ASM instance and then running the crsctl command:
[oracle@dbserver01 ~]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? +ASM1

Finally, I can use the ASMCMD utility to check that my diskgroup and underlying disks are all present and correct:
