Hi, Is 10.2.0.2 patch for linux publicly available? Didn't see it in metalink... Tanel. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pete Sharman To: smishra_97@xxxxxxxxx ; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Peter Ross Sharman Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 11:02 AM Subject: RE: Oracle 10g RAC installation As someone already said, what's wrong with the doc? I've had to install from scratch (literally, with 4 node clusters talking to each other but that's it) which entailed doing all the pre-install config (checking for packages and so on - cluvfy is your friend for this!), doing the 10.2.0.1 install, patching for a specific issue with using multipath devices, then upgrading both the CRS and DB kernels to 10.2.0.2, installing ASMLIB and creating a database, and even without any time constraints completed that in about half a day. Most of my time constraints have been from using VNC Viewer here in Oz to machines located in the US during the install. A week is plenty of time. Since you're using RH4, don't forget to change the permissions in /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions for the OCR/voting devices. Pete
