This Document explains the installation of Oracle service on

Windows Cluster

This basic infrastructure is setup for running Oracle DB services on top of


Windows Server 2008 R2 cluster, that includes two Physical nodes running
Windows 2008 R2(Enterprise using ISCSI as storage solution.

This document outlines the step by step process to install Oracle11G


Standard Edition on Windows Server 2008R2 failover Cluster.

Start with Oracle 11G Configuration

Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled before starting the Oracle 11G installation.

A).NET framework 3.5 SP1 must be installed on all the Nodes.

B).Shared Disks for Oracle Data files. Disks must not be


compressed (Figure 1). These drives are also visible in the Failover Cluster
Management Console (Figure 2). There should be different drives for each
Clustered Instance.

Note: Oracle 11G support one disk for both Data & Archive files.
However, each instance must have a separate disk.
Quorum, ROOT & Data Drives.

C).No Antivirus software should be installed on the Nodes.


D).Add exceptions to firewall configuration settings for the Oracle 11G port (1521),
File and Printer Sharing (TCP 139/445 and UDP 137/138) and
Remote Procedure Call (TCP port 135).
E).Remote Registry Service must be running.
F).The installing account must be a local administrator to the Nodes.
F).The Oracle Service account should be from the same domain as the nodes.
G).Identify the network connections for Heartbeat, Backup & Production.
H).Copy the Oracle media to the local disks of the nodes.

POST INSTALLATION TASKS

1. Creating listener on node 2, using NETCA utility


2. Copy Listener.ora, tnsnames.ora , password and spfileiifcldb.ora file from node 1 to node.
3. Creating Oracle database service same as in node 1 as follow: oradim -new -srvc OracleService
CLDB -startmode M -usrpwd sysdb -pfile
C:\app\oracluadmin\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\database\INITCLDB -timeout 60
4. Putting database in Archive log mode.
5. Important Database Info:

ORACLE_SID= cldb
ORACLE_BASE = C:\app\oracluadmin
ORACLE_HOME = C:\app\oracluadmin\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1
Database file location: D:\APP\ORACLUADMIN\ORADATA\CLDB
Archive file location: D:\app\oracluadmin\oradata\archive
Control file location: D:\APP\ORACLUADMIN\ORADATA\CLDB\CONTROL01.CTL,
