Oracle 12c RAC On your laptop Step by Step Implementation Guide 1.0

Oracle 12c 2 Nodes sandbox RAC environment on your laptop!
2013.06.28, v1.0
Yury Velikanov
Short Introduction
As result of following this Step by Step Guide you will get the following products up and running on your laptop:
- 2 Nodes Oracle 12c RAC with 3 IPs SCAN infrastructure
o Working even with no network connection (e.g. airplane, public transport, in a tent ;)
- Oracle Linux Server 6.4
- Oracle Virtual Box 4.2.14
You should have a laptop with:
- Modern CPU (most of laptops produced after 2011 should be ok)
- 8 GB of RAM
- 40G of free space disk space
o 9GB - Software Staging
o 29GB – 2 VMs + ASM disks
- Windows 64 bit
o I think you may use any other platform but you will need to find a solution for local DNS implementation on
your platform (feel free to re-post this guide adding your platform specifics)
o I think that you may run into memory related issues if you try to use Windows 32 bit
References
I have used the following two articles from Tim Hall’s web site www.oracle-base.com as a basis for this guide. I would
appreciate if you keep this reference if you reuse this document for your blog posts or other articles:

Introduction
My main goal is to let you get an Oracle 12c RAC sandbox environment up and running on your laptop in a minimal
possibletime.
I am sure that Oracle will release VM templates, other great community contributors will publish their own guides on
how to ... etc. However if you follow the steps below you will install Oracle 12c RAC database going through main
installation steps. If you interested in exploring a particular installation option you are free to deviate from the instruction
and share your experience with others. At the time new release and patches will come out you may want to apply a patch
or adjust this guide to new release. Please return a favour and publish your work sharing your great discovery with the rest
of the community.

Before you start
Software Components
Please note that the process that I describe should work even if you use other (presumably newer) software versions.
You may need to adjust the process depending on software componentyou are going to use or available at the time you
implement the configuration.
Windows 7 64 bit
Pre-installed Oracle VirtualBox4.2.12 (it pretty much next, next, next, ready)
o https://www.virtualbox.org/
o 4.2.14 r86644
Pre-installed DualServer6.94 (Local Windows DNS Server for SCAN)
o http://dhcp-dns-server.sourceforge.net/
o See “DualServer configuration” appendix for how to configure it for the needs of this implementation.
o You will need to adjust a Windows Firewall as described in the appendix bellow to make it working
Download Oracle softwarefrom eDelivery web site
o Oracle Linux 6.4
 E11882_01.zip =>unzip =>V37084-01.iso
 http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
o Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Database 11.2.0.3
 V38501-01_1of2.zip
 V38501-01_2of2.zip
 V38500-01_1of2.zip
 V38500-01_2of2.zip
 https://edelivery.oracle.com/
Network configuration
I have used the following network setup. Feel free to adjust to your needs:
 Public IPs 10.154.137.0/24
o internal network only
o visible and available to your laptop only even if it isn’t connected to any network
 Interconnect 10.154.138.0/24
o private IPs available from RAC nodes only
 SCAN
o Name =>scan-f1.yuryffun.com
o IPs =>10.154.137.115/116/117
 Internet access from RAC nodes (e.g. access to Oracle public yum)
o Just run "ifup eth2" (NAT interface) while connected to an internet

Implementation process
Main steps
1. Setup VBOX
2. Create one node
3. Create shared ASM devices
4. Clone node
5. Install Grid Infrastructure
6. Install Database Software
7. Create Database
8. Enjoy and experiment
Virtual Machine Setup
Setup VBOX
If you didn’t do it yet the installation part is straight forward. Just download the latest version from
https://www.virtualbox.org/ and install (Next, Next, Next ...)
