Installing Oracle RAC

This section provides information on how to install Oracle RAC for use with WebSphere Portal Express.

Before you begin:

• You should have completed reviewing the Planning for Oracle RAC section.
• Ensure the Oracle CRS (Cluster Ready Service) and Oracle RAC databases have been installed and configured on the primary and secondary nodes.
• Run the following commands on both RAC nodes to start global services daemon_(GSD), oracle listeners, and agents.

  • $ gsdctl start
  • $ lsnrctl start
  • $ agentctl start

You can use Oracle RAC as the database software for WebSphere Portal Express. You must install Oracle RAC separately and before performing WebSphere Portal Express database transfer.

Refer to Oracle product documentation for installation instructions.
