Hi Listers, I am trying
to set up a two-node RAC on Windows 2000 Advanced Server on Proliant
DL 580 Servers. I am following the metalink document 178882.1 and Harrison B. Redhouse’s document DIY Multi-Node RAC on a single
Windows PC downloaded from www.oaktable.net.
I am having two separate nodes and hence there was no need to use VMvare to simulate two nodes as mentioned in Harrison B. Redhouse’s document.
I ran through all the steps as mentioned in both the documents. But when I am using DBCA to install cluster
database on the first node I am getting the following error when I click FINISH
button: The filepath S:\Oradata\CLUST\CWMLITE01.DBF is invalid. Please check the permissions. I have
stopped and restarted the GSD service. I
have also installed the Oracle 9.2.0.3 patch and created the listener
successfully. I am trying to install the cluster database through the command Dbca –datafiledestination S:\oradata. I am able
to see the shared disk from both the disk manager and Windows explorer. I am really
stuck up with this problem. Any pointers
as to what am I missing would be highly appreciated. Looking forward to hear from any of you soon. Thanks and
Regards, Ranganath |
