=============================================================================================
Add the following lines to the
/etc/sysctl.conf file on both the nodes are root user
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128

net.core.wmem_max=262144
And run the below command to effect the prameters on fly
/sbin/sysctl -p
STEP4
=============================================================================================
Add the following lines to the
/etc/security/limits.conf file on both the nodes as root user
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
STEP5
=============================================================================================
Add the following line to the /etc/pam.d/login file, if it does not already exist.
session required pam_limits.so
STEP6
=============================================================================================
Set the hangcheck kernel module parameters by adding the following line to the /etc/modprobe.conf file.on both the nodes.
options hangcheck-timer hangcheck_tick=30 hangcheck_margin=180
To load the module immediately, execute "modprobe -v hangcheck-timer".

configure user equivalence
run the below commands on both the nodes as oracle
[oracle@prod1 db]$ ssh-keygen -t rsa (overwrite:Y)
[oracle@prod1 db]$ ssh-keygen -t dsa (overwrite:Y)
Run the below command on only first node
[oracle@prod1 ~]$ cd .ssh
[oracle@prod1 .ssh]$ touch authorized_keys
[oracle@prod1 .ssh]$ cat /home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys[oracle@prod1 .ssh]$ cat /home/oracle/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys
ssh prod2 cat /home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys ( enter password:oracle when asked )
ssh prod2 cat /home/oracle/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys ( same )
[oracle@prod1 .ssh]$ scp authorized_keys
oracle@prod2:/home/oracle/.ssh/ ( enter password:oracle )
[oracle@prod1 .ssh]$ ( when u switch to prod2 from prod1 it should not ask for password )
[oracle@prod1 .ssh]$ exit ( back to prod1 )
=================================================================================
check with the below on both nodes
ssh prod1.technorack.com date
ssh prod1 date
ssh prod2.technorack.com date
ssh prod2 date
ssh prod1-priv.technorack.com date
ssh prod1-priv date
ssh prod2-priv.technorack.com date
ssh prod2-priv date
=========================
Time syncronization
1node can be ahead of 2nd server 5 mins.
to set the time with root use the below command
]#date -s "24 MAY 2010 17:15:50"
ssh prod1 date
ssh prod2 date
=====================================================
do this as root on both the nodes
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices file, adding the following lines.
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb1/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdb2
Restart the rawdevices service using the following command.
]# service rawdevices restart
]# chkconfig rawdevices on
]# ln -s /dev/raw/raw1 /ocr
]# ln -s /dev/raw/raw2 /votingdisk
Run the following commands and add them the /etc/rc.local file.
chown oracle:oinstall /dev/raw/raw1chown oracle:oinstall /dev/raw/raw2chmod 600 /dev/raw/raw1chmod 600 /dev/raw/raw2fdisk
ln -s /dev/raw/
==============================================================
/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure ( on both nodes )
only required if asm is used
This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM librarydriver. The following questions will determine whether the driver isloaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current valueswill be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting
without typing ananswer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: oinstall
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y

The shared disks are now configured.

know issues crs is getting hanged at adding demons for 90seconds after running root.sh script,then workaround used is (with root)
