First adjust system parameters of operating system on both node and create ASM Disks.

After, you can start to install of

Grid Infrastructure. You can create disk groups for DATA and FRA disk groups after install grid. Finally you can install
Oracle RAC database on Grid Infrastructure and ASM Disks. Divide the stages of installation four steps.

Configure Operating System.

1. Upgrade Packages

On each Node.

#yum upgrade
#yum install oracleasm-support

2. Selinux Permissive

On each node Change the setting of SELinux to permissive by editing the "/etc/selinux/config" file, making sure the
SELINUX flag is set as follows.

SELINUX=permissive

3. Firewall Close and Disable

On both node If you have the Linux firewall enabled, you will need to disable or configure it.

# systemctl stop firewalld

# systemctl disable firewalld
# systemctl disable firewalld.service
rm '/etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/firewalld.service'
rm '/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service'

4. Create Users

On each node. Group and user ids have to be the same.

#groupadd –g 501 oinstall

#groupadd –g 502 dba
#groupadd –g 503 oper
#groupadd –g 504 asmadmin
#groupadd –g 505 asmdba
#groupadd –g 506 asmoper
#useradd –u 502 –g oinstall –G dba,asmdba,oper oracle
#passwd oracle
#useradd –u 501 –g oinstall –G asmadmin,asmoper,asmdba grid
#passwd grid

5. Configure Bash Profile of Users.

Oracle user bash_profile on node 1

vi .bash_profile
# Oracle Settings
export TMP=/tmp
export TMPDIR=$TMP
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ractest12c01.sm.gov.tr
export ORACLE_UNQNAME=RACTEST

export CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
alias home=’cd /oracle/grid/12.2.0.1/grid_home’

6. Create Directories

mkdir -p /oracle/grid/12.2.0.1/grid_home
mkdir -p /oracle/grid/12.2.0.1/log
mkdir -p /oracle/gridbase/12.2.0.1/
mkdir -p /oracle/db/12.2.0.1/db_home
chown -R oracle.oinstall /oracle/
chown -R grid.oinstall /oracle/grid*
chmod -R 775 /oracle/

7. Configure ASM Disks

*Your disk name can be different from I used. I configured sdc, sdd,sde and sdf disks for asm on my test suite. These sd*
disks can be different on your system. On each node with root user.

#oracleasm configure -i

After finish configuration you can make init with below command.

oracleasm init
on node 1
Create partition.
fdisk /dev/sdc
fdisk /dev/sdd
fdisk /dev/sde
fdisk /dev/sdf
oracleasm createdisk DATA1 /dev/sdc1
oracleasm createdisk FRA1 /dev/sdd1
oracleasm createdisk GRID1 /dev/sde1
oracleasm createdisk GIMR1 /dev/sdf1
on each node for control
oracleasm scandisks
oracleasm listdisks

You have to see disks on each node with oracleasm listdisks command.

ll /dev/oracleasm/disks/

8. Chrony NTP Configuration

Chrony plugin came with Oracle Linux 7 version for ntp sync. You can write your ntp server information in
/etc/chrony.conf file. On each node

vi /etc/chrony.conf
server ntp.yourdomain
systemctl restart chronyd.service
systemctl enable chronyd.service

9. Configure Hosts File

On each node

You can write your domain name info instead of yourdomain text. Also, you can give IP addresses as your IP structure.
priv and public network subnet have to be different.

vi /etc/hosts

20.10.4.141 ractest12c01 ractest12c01.yourdomain

20.10.4.142 ractest12c02 ractest12c02.yourdomain
20.10.4.143 ractest12c01-vip ractest12c01-vip.yourdomain
20.10.4.144 ractest12c02-vip ractest12c02-vip.yourdomain
20.10.4.145 ractest12c-scan ractest12c-scan.yourdomain
20.10.4.146 ractest12c-scan ractest12c-scan.yourdomain
20.10.4.147 ractest12c-scan ractest12c-scan.yourdomain
165.5.10.1 ractest12c01-priv ractest12c01-priv.yourdomain
165.5.10.2 ractest12c02-priv ractest12c02-priv.yourdomain
 10. Preinstallation Package Intallation

On each node

yum install oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall

reboot the machine.

Second Step : Install Grid Infrastructure

Copy your the installation files to grid_home. It is recommended to copy grid zip file to grid home and change owner of
zip file, and unzip with grid user.

cp linuxx64_12201_grid_home.zip /oracle/grid/12.2.0.1/grid_home
chown grid.oinsall linuxx64_12201_grid_home.zip
su – grid
unzip linuxx64_12201_grid_home.zip

Display Config and Start Grid Installation

su -
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xhost +
su – grid
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xhost +
cd /$GRID_HOME/
./grid_Setup.sh
GIMR came with Oracle 12c version. Every Oracle Standalone Cluster and Oracle Domain Services Cluster
contains a Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR), or the Management Database (MGMTDB).

The Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR) is a multitenant database with a pluggable database
(PDB) for the GIMR of each cluster. The GIMR stores the following information about the cluster:

 Real time performance data the Cluster Health Monitor collects

 Fault, diagnosis, and metric data the Cluster Health Advisor collects
 Cluster-wide events about all resources that Oracle Clusterware collects
 CPU architecture data for Quality of Service Management (QoS)
 Metadata required for Rapid Home Provisioning

You have to give at least 40 GB size to GIMR data. I gave 100 GB this system and gave separate disk area for
GIMR db.
Fix & Check Again button creates fix scripts to resolve warnings. You have to run this scripts on both node to resolve
warnings.
Run this scripts on both node respectively. The run can be a bit long. Scripts passes 19 steps, one can see these
steps while running scripts. Now click OK, after run scripts on each node. If there is no error, then the below
screen would be seen.

To check the status please execute crs_stat -t and crsctl stat res -t commands with grid user.
Third Step : Create ASM Disk Group For DATA and FRA
Display Config and Start ASMCA

su –
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xhost +
su – grid
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xhost +
asmca
Fourth Step : Install Database
Unzip The Software

Step 1: Copie the software to your home directory or a specific location, and in my case under /home/oracle

Step 2: Uncompress the zipped software:

$ unzip linuxx64_12201_database.zip

Install The Software Only

Check the database software directory and execute runInstaller

$ cd /u02/stage
$ unzip linuxx64_12201_database.zip
$ cd database
$ ./runInstaller
$dbca
