Recommended Post-Installation Tasks
|
Note: This chapter only describes basic configurations. Refer to the Oracle Database 10g Administrator䴜s Guide for UNIX Systems and the product administration and tuning guides for more detailed configuration and tuning information. |
You must perform the following tasks after completing your installation:
Refer to the OracleMetaLink Web site for required patches for your installation. To download required patches:
Use a Web browser to view the OracleMetaLink Web site:
http://metalink.oracle.com
Log in to OracleMetaLink.
|
Note: If you are not an OracleMetaLink registered user, then click Register for MetaLink! and register. |
On the main OracleMetaLink page click Patches.
On the Select a Patch Search Area page click New MetaLink Patch Search.
On the Simple Search page click Advanced.
On the Advanced Search page click the search icon next to the Product or Product Family field.
In the Search and Select: Product Family window enter RDBMS Server in the For field and click Go.
Select RDBMS Server under the Results heading and click Select.
RDBMS Server appears in the Product or Product Family field and the current release appears in the Release field.
Select your platform from the list in the Platform field and click Go.
Any available patches appear under the Results heading.
Click the number of the patch that you want to download.
On the Patch Set page, click View README and read the page that appears. The README page contains information about the patch set and how to apply the patches to your installation.
Return to the Patch Set page, click Download, and save the file on your system.
Use the unzip utility provided with Oracle Database 10g to uncompress the Oracle patches that you downloaded from OracleMetaLink. The unzip utility is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
Many Oracle products and options must be configured before you use them for the first time. Before using individual Oracle Database 10g database products or options, refer to the manual in the product documentation library which is available on the documentation CD-ROM or on the OTN Web site.
Oracle recommends that you perform the following tasks after completing an installation:
Oracle recommends that you back up the root.sh script after you complete an installation. If you install other products in the same Oracle home directory, then the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) updates the contents of the existing root.sh script during the installation. If you require information contained in the original root.sh script, then you can recover it from the root.sh file copy.
For information about setting up additional optional user accounts, refer to the Oracle Database 10g Administrator䴜s Guide for UNIX Systems.
Run the following command to verify the Enterprise Manager configuration in your newly installed Real Application Clusters environment:
srvctl config database -d db_name
SRVCTL displays the name of the node and the instance for the node. The following example shows a node named db1-server running an instance named db1 with a listener named LISTENER_NODE1. Execute the following command:
srvctl config database -d db
The output should be similar to:
db1-server db1 /private/system/db db2-server db2 /private/system/db
When you complete these procedures, you are ready to perform the initial configuration tasks described in Part IV.
