[Oracle RAC 12.1 Installation on Oracle Linux 6.7 (ISCSI + ASM)]: Checking cluster configuration before RAC installation

Server: rac1


It may be better to download the latest version of “Oracle Cluster Verification Utility” from the Oracle website

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clustering/downloads/cvu-download-homepage-099973.html


Install the testing package on both cluster nodes.

# cd /tmp/oracle/12.1/database/rpm
# rpm -Uvh cvuqdisk-1.0.9-1.rpm

# scp ./cvuqdisk-1.0.9-1.rpm root@rac2:/tmp/
# ssh rac2 rpm -Uvh /tmp/cvuqdisk-1.0.9-1.rpm



# su - oracle12
$ cd /tmp/oracle/12.1/grid



$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -r 12.1

If errors occurred, you can get a log with a more detailed report of the issues:

$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -r 12.1  -verbose > /tmp/log.log


Got an error:

***
Pre-check for cluster services setup was successful.

Since I am working with virtual machines, I think I should save (create a snapshot).
