Table 1-2 Hardware and Software Review Checklist for Oracle RAC
Check | Task |
---|---|
Operating System General Requirements |
Prepare servers as described in Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide for your platform. |
Review Existing Oracle Installations and Upgrade Plans |
To install Oracle RAC 19c, you must have Oracle Grid Infrastructure (Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM) 19c installed on your cluster. The Oracle Clusterware version must be equal to or greater than the Oracle RAC version that you plan to install. For the most current updates and best practices about pre-upgrade, post-upgrade, compatibility, and interoperability discussions, refer to Support Note 1670757.1 on My Oracle Support.

Server Hardware on each node |
Use identical server hardware on each node, to simplify server maintenance. |
Time Zone Requirement |
Upgrade the Time Zone File and TSTZ Data: As part of an installation of Oracle Database 19c, time zone version files from 1 to 12 are installed in the following path: You can continue to use the current time zone version or upgrade to the latest version. Oracle recommends that you upgrade the server to the latest time zone version. See Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide for information about how to upgrade the time zone file and TSTZ data |
Use Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) | Before you start your installation, use Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) to ensure that your system is prepared for Oracle RAC installation. If any checks fail, then fix the errors reported. Contact your system or storage administrators to have them fix errors manually. CVU is available in the Grid home, in the bin directory.
