Hi Robert, why my centOS automatic install? please help me

[askrobert]

@CrashTamagochi Go back one step and re-try. If your issue is not resolved then please provide more explanation.

Hi Robert. I tried Rac installation but there is vipca problem. Default gateway is not pingable due to that ivipca fails. How to resolve this problem ,

As alternate solution I boot up third virtual machine as default gateway but it slows down the performance.

i tried to make suggested modification to racgvip script but it doesn't work.

I will wait for your post....

@navchd081

You must have missed step.

Did you do any backup during install? If so I suggest, you go back few step and re-run those steps.

Regards,

Robert

Oracle Database needs at least 1.5GB of RAM. You could install with 1.5GB RAM then reduce to 1GB. It will run but wont be usable or at least thats what I think.

Just try it and see.

Hi Robert! It would be so helpful for me if u pls tell me the latest version i can download for vmware to install oracle 11g and implement standby and RAC etc.

[askrobert]

@ranbir11 I don't believe version of VMware would stop you from achieving your goals. Think of VMware like hardware. It will allow you to install different OS. You should first consider the OS, then see if that version of VMware supports that OS.

HI Robert,Tremendous job done by you,you have shared very -2 clear and nice oracle rac installation .I did go through to all your videos and successfully set up the rac.Thanks you very much.

[navchd081]

What need to re-run again?? I faced so many problems while installing . Some I would like to share with you.

1. While installation virtual machine immediately disappears ,& when I check frm vmware server console its status is POWERED OFF. May be its due to limited RAM . I have 3GB RAM.

2. After installation when i use dbca to create database & if I choose "Custom Database" template then after 88% progress rac1 immediately disappers & status is powered off. Is this a bug?

Please suggest.

Hi Robert,

I appreciate your interest 4 helping others.

I implemented everything each & every step that you have described in videos but I would like to explain the configuration that I have.

default gateway is not pingable because there is no machine in the network that have ip 192.168.0.1

I have to use dhcp for HOST machine to use internet broadband. May be in your configuration 192.168.0.1 is Host machine IP. Because how an address can be reached if its not assigned to anybody? Plz sugest
