Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware Installation Guide for HP-UX

Preparing to Install Oracle Clusterware with OUI
User Existence Check or User-Group Relationship Check Failed
Cause: The administrative privileges for users and groups required for
installation are missing or incorrect.
Action: Use the id command on each node to confirm that the oracle user is
created with the correct group membership. Ensure that you have created the
required groups, and create or modify the user account on affected nodes to
establish required group membership.
6.2 Preparing to Install Oracle Clusterware with OUI
Before you install Oracle Clusterware with Oracle Universal Installer (OUI), use the
following checklist to ensure that you have all the information you will need during
installation, and to ensure that you have completed all tasks that must be done before
starting to install Oracle Clusterware. Mark the box for each task as you complete it,
and write down the information needed, so that you can provide it during installation.
❏ Shut Down Running Oracle Processes
If you are installing Oracle Clusterware on a node that already has a
single-instance Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1) installation, then stop the
existing ASM instances. After Oracle Clusterware is installed, start up the ASM
instances again. When you restart the single-instance Oracle database, the ASM
instances use the Cluster Synchronization Services (CSSD) Daemon from Oracle
Clusterware instead of the CSSDdaemon for the single-instance Oracle database.
You can upgrade some or all nodes of an existing Cluster Ready Services
installation. For example, if you have a six-node cluster, then you can upgrade two
nodes each in three upgrading sessions.Base the number of nodes that you
upgrade in each session on the load the remaining nodes can handle. This is called
a "rolling upgrade."
If a Global Services Daemon (GSD) from Oracle9i Release 9.2 or earlier is running,
then stop it before installing Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1) Oracle
Clusterware by running the following command:
$ Oracle_home/bin/gsdctl stop
6-4 Oracle Clusterware Installation Guide
See Also: "Creating Standard Configuration Operating System
Groups and Users" in Chapter 3 for instructions about how to create
required groups, and how to configure the oracle user
where Oracle_home is the Oracle Database home that is running the GSD.
Caution: If you have an existing Oracle9i release 2 (9.2) Oracle
Cluster Manager (Oracle CM) installation, then do not shut down the
Oracle CM service. Shutting down the Oracle CM service prevents the
Oracle Clusterware 11g release 1 (11.1) software from detecting the
Oracle9i release 2 nodelist, and causes failure of the Oracle
Clusterware installation.
Note: If you receive a warning to stop all Oracle services after
starting OUI, then run the command
Oracle_home/bin/localconfig delete
where Oracle_home is the home that is running CSS.
