Hi All,
>> My understanding is that we can install all prerequisites and configure
ASMLib to make it ready for CRS installation ? Yury is that correct ?
Yes this is what I thought about. Install OS and configure as much as we
can (is reasonable) based on RACAttack 12c
instructions<https://www.google.dk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikibooks.org%2Fwiki%2FRAC_Attack_-_Oracle_Cluster_Database_at_Home%2FRAC_Attack_12c&ei=_vPcUvnBKfLc4QSxtIGABA&usg=AFQjCNFHcPjFBDdwOuhzvmQYUDfcfyy9qA&bvm=bv.59568121,d.bGE>
.
This would allow participants to safe setup time. How much we would like to
pre-configure is in our hands. As far as I see now there are several
possible levels.
-a- configure First host only to the point right before cloning to the
second host
# This way we simplify the distribution. We just need one VDI file to be
distributed.
-b- configure two nodes
# 2 files to distribute
-c- configure two nodes and create shared storage drives
# 2 + 4 files to distribute.
PS
-- Logistic shouldn't be a problem as we can provide the files over USB
sticks (GNU licence allows it).
-- As of now RACAttack doesn't have ASMLib included. However nothing
stopping us from creating an additional option :)
