So... there I was, happily minding my business when my boss decided it was
time I got something interesting. We are upgrading all the DBs to 11.2.0.2,
so he gave me the task of setting up the DEV cluster (of course, we migrate
DEV first, then QA and finally Prod... which is sensible).
Problem: I've never installed an 11.2 RAC! I did install an 11.1 back when
11.1.0.6 was released, but I never even applied 11.1.0.7 to it.
So, I say to myself (what a wonderful world!) "I know! I'll crate a VM (on
my vmware server) and install an 11.2 RAC there... that's smart! that way
I'll go into the dev installation knowing what I need"
on I go to attempt to download first the Oracle Enterprise Linux. Of course,
it's not on edelivery... it on edelivery.oracle.com/linux... and I had to
get there (the first time) from OTN.
Then I start downloading it (using firefox) and dTA fails with "server
error" normal download results in a 0kb file... so I fire up chrome (still
better than IE) and get the same... I star IE and get the same... so now I'm
wondering... does this happen with every media pack? I'm downloading the
RDBMS software from Metalink, since it's an out of place patch and I need to
install 11.2.0.2 still... I don't have a linux to install on...
I might end up downloading CentOS... well played oracle... well played...
Alan.-
