I am going to install the base software 9.2.0.1 with Real Application Cluster. Once it is installed then, I am going to apply patchset 3 9.2.0.4 on  top
of 9.2.0.1.

Creating Shared Config File:

You need to create the Shared Config File which contains the metadata for the Cluster nodes and services on the shared devices. So this file
must be accessible by all the nodes. I have used OCFS to store this file as well. If you are not using OCFS then, you need to create a raw partition
 of at least of 20MB size (e.g, /dev/sdb1 bound with /dev/raw/raw1) to store this file's contents.

[oracle@node1-pub oracle]$ cat > /u02/oradata/ocfs/SharedConfigFile
 
[oracle@node1-pub oracle]$ ls -l  /u02/oradata/ocfs/SharedConfigFile
-rw-r--r--    1 oracle   oinstall        0 Jan  1 12:48 /u02/oradata/ocfs/SharedConfigFile
[oracle@node1-pub oracle]$

Running OUI to Install 9.2.0.1 with RAC:

You MUST install this software from one node only.
I usually prefer to install the Oracle software without creating the starter database.

Start the runInstaller as oracle user from any one node When OUI displays the Welcome page, click Next

[oracle@node1-pub oracle]$ /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller

[root@node2-pub root]# xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[root@node2-pub root]# su - oracle
[oracle@node2-pub oracle]$ /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller

Follow These Steps:

Click Next;



Select all the nodes in the Cluster and Click Next. If you do not see other nodes then make sure that
Cluster Manager (oracm) is started on all the nodes that does not apprear in this screen. Start the
Cluster manager as shown in the previous step of Installing Clusterware software.



Click NEXT;



Select Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.1 from the Available products and click Next:



I selected the Custom Installation type because I wanted to Install Oracle Lable Security. You can leave
the default value of Enterprise Edition and Click Next.



Select / De-Select the product you want and Click Next. This screen will show up only if you have
selected Custom Installation type.



At this step, enter the fully qualified name of the Shared Config File that we created in the begining of
this task (/u02/oradata/ocfs/SharedConfigFile).



Leave default groups (dba, dba) as it is and click Next.



I have selected the first option and Click Next as this is an experimental Installation. For Porduction
installaion, I always prefer to go for the second option.



I selected No as I want to upgrade the current RDBMS of 9.2.0.1 to 9.2.0.4.



Click Install.



Enter the second CD media and Click OK.




Enter the third CD media and Click OK.



You will get the error of " Error in Invoking target install of make file
/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk". Click Ignore as It will be fixed by applying
patch 3119415.



Also, you will get the above error of " Error in Invoking target install of make file
/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk". This error will be fixed by applying 9.2.0.4 patchset 3.





Run the /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/root.sh script on all the nodes in the cluster. Open another window and
execute this script as root, After executing this script on all the nodes, Click OK. If you have not Installed the
ncurses4 package, then you will get error messages while you execute the root.sh.

You can see in th above window that the software is now being copied to all the nodes in the cluster.
"Finishing Remote Operations in nodes...."
After it finished the remote Operation, Configuration tools WIndow is opened. I do not prefer to configure
Enterprise Manager at this step. So follow the below series of steps to configure Management Tools.











NOTE: Please chenge the default port of LISTENER to any other that cannot be easily predictable.











Click Exit.
At this point, Please reboot all the nodes in the cluster,

[oracle@node1-pub oracle]$ ls
p2617419_10102_GENERIC.zip
[oracle@node1-pub oracle]$ unzip p2617419_10102_GENERIC.zip

  inflating: OPatch/docs/Users_G...
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
[oracle@node1-pub oracle]$  mv OPatch $ORACLE_HOME/

Upgrading 9.2.0.1 to 9.2.0.4:

Please install the 9.2.0.4 on all the nodes if you got the previous error (in RED) of crashing runInstaller.



Click Next



Click Next



Select Oracle 9iR2 Patch Set 3 9.2.0.4 and Click Next.



Click Install.



If you get this error message, Please make sure that no oracle process are running at this time. If you have not rebooted
nodes after you installed 9.2.0.1, then you may get this error messages as listener and some other oracle processes are
started by  OUI after it finishes configuring Management tools. Connect as oracle and stop the running listener by executing

lsnrctl stop <lisnener name>.
then Click Retry Button.



Click Ignore as it will be fixed by appling  patch 3119415.



Open the another window and run the mentioned script as root and then Click OK.



Click Exit:
