I am sure it does not NEED to be run from the CD. I am certain I have never run it from the CD ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of VIVEK_SHARMA Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 7:33 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: SOLVED ...........RE: "cluvfy" setup for RAC Pre-installation setup Checks for 10gR2 ......... Issue Resolved. Solution - Before Oracle Clusterware installation, CVU needs to be Run directly from the Oracle CD. For the 10gR2 Software CD with On Solaris 10 $ cd /oradvd2/clusterware/cluvfy $ runcluvfy.sh -help USAGE: cluvfy [ -help ] cluvfy stage { -list | -help } cluvfy stage {-pre|-post} <stage-name> <stage-specific options> [-verbose] cluvfy comp { -list | -help } cluvfy comp <component-name> <component-specific options> [-verbose] Note: The script runcluvfy.sh contains temporary variable definitions which enable it to be run before installing Oracle Clusterware or Oracle Database. After you install Oracle Clusterware, use the command cluvfy to check prerequisites and perform other system readiness checks. Note: You must have the utility unzip installed and configured with a path command for runcluvfy.sh to run.

Need to press Ctrl C to get control back. Running $ truss cluvfy gives Output running indefinitely. NOTE - $ORACLE_HOME is a NON-RAC Oracle 10gR2 installation on Solaris 10. Qs 1 Is using cluvfy obtained from a NON-RAC Oracle installation OK or should it be Copied directly from the CD? Qs 2 Does cluvfy need to be run as root user , Oracle user or any dba (unix) group user? Qs 3 Any Other ideas?
