Bjoern and Maaz, after a couple of tries I've seen that, depending on your network connection, PEERDNS is set to yes or no. (my home wifi: yes by default, office lan w/o internet enabled: no by default) I've specified it initially in the book but it has been commented out, perhaps because of a different network configuration. I suppose that I'll revert it back again. I've also completed an installation today WITHOUT INTERNET CONNECTION, but using the DVD repo, I'll document it for sure, it can save a lot of time @ OOW. Just to track my times (and damn, it's 1:00 AM AGAIN): Lenovo T520, 8gb ram, all VDI drives on an external "My passport" Westenr Digital encrypted with bitkeeper on a Windows 7 also bitkeeped (worst case ever!!): From Vbox installation to persistent storage naming configuration: 52' (using OL64 DVD repo) Cluster creation: 22' GI install: 1h05' RAC Install: 50' DB Creation: 45' Total: 3h54' (I have partial timings if you're curious) Good night or morning depending on the location :-) Ludovico Caldara Consultant Infrastructure Managed Services trivadis AG Rue Marterey 5 CH-1005 Lausanne Phone +41-58 459 54 54 Fax +41-21-321 47 01 Mobile +41-79-909 72 75 ludovico.caldara@xxxxxxxxxxxx www.trivadis.com Le saviez-vous ?

One minor issue: the dhcp client running on eth2 kept overwriting my /etc/resolv.conf file. This was easily fixed by setting PEERDNS=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2 Did I miss that step somewhere or is this something special with my setup? cheers bjoern
