Oracle 12c 2 Nodes sandbox RAC environment on your laptop!

2013.06.29, v1.02

Yury Velikanov

Short Introduction

As result of following this Step by Step Guide you will get the following products up and running on your laptop:

- 2 Nodes Oracle 12c RAC with 3 IPs SCAN infrastructure

o Working even with no network connection ( e.g. airplane, public transport, in a tent ;)

- Oracle Linux Server 6.4

- Oracle Virtual Box 4.2.14

You should have a laptop with:

- Modern CPU (most of laptops produced after 2011 should be ok)

- 8 GB of RAM

- 40G of free space disk space

o 9GB - Software Staging

o 29GB – 2 VMs + ASM disks

- Windows 64 bit

o think you may use any other platform but you will need to find a solution for local DNS implementation on your platform (feel free to re-post this guide adding your platform specifics)

o I think that you may run into memory related issues if you try to use Windows 32 bit

I have used the following two articles from ’s web site as a basis for this guide. I would appreciate if you keep this reference if you reuse this document for your blog posts or other articles:

Introduction

My main goal is to let you get an Oracle 12c RAC sandbox environment up and running on your laptop in a minimal possible time.

I am sure that Oracle will release VM templates, other great community contributors will publish their own guides on how to ... etc. However if you follow the steps below you will install Oracle 12c RAC database going through main installation steps. If you interested in exploring a particular installation option you are free to deviate from the instruction and share your experience with others. At the time new release and patches will come out you may want to apply a patch or adjust this guide to new release. Please return a favour and publish your work sharing your great discovery with the rest of the community.

Before you start

Software Components

Please note that the process that I describe should work even if you use other (presumably newer) software versions. You may need to adjust the process depending on software component you are going to use or available at the time you implement the configuration.

· Windows 7 64 bit

· Pre-installed Oracle VirtualBox 4.2.12 (it pretty much next, next, next, ready)

o

o 4.2.14 r86644

· Pre-installed DualServer 6.94 (Local Windows DNS Server for SCAN)

o

o See “DualServer configuration” appendix for how to configure it for the needs of this implementation.

o You will need to adjust a Windows Firewall as described in the appendix bellow to make it working

· Download Oracle software from eDelivery web site

o Oracle Linux 6.4

§ E11882_01.zip => unzip => V37084-01.iso

§

o Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Database 12c (12.1.0.1)

§ V38501-01_1of2.zip

§ V38501-01_2of2.zip

§ V38500-01_1of2.zip

§ V38500-01_2of2.zip

§

Network configuration

I have used the following network setup. Feel free to adjust to your needs:

n Public IPs 10.154.137.0/24

o internal network only

o visible and available to your laptop only even if it isn’t connected to any network

n Interconnect 10.154.138.0/24

o private IPs available from RAC nodes only

n SCAN

o Name => scan-f1.yuryffun.com

o IPs => 10.154.137.115/116/117

n Internet access from RAC nodes (e.g. access to Oracle public yum)

o Just run "ifup eth2" (NAT interface) while connected to an internet

Change log

Remove 70-persistent-net.rules on second node

2013.06.29 Yury: Based on comments on my blog post from r12dba added the following step to the "Create second node => Adjust network setup" section.

mv /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ~/

Implementation process

Main steps

1. Setup VBOX

2. Create one node

3. Create shared ASM devices

4. Clone node

5. Install Grid Infrastructure

6. Install Database Software

7. Create Database

8. Enjoy and experiment

Virtual Machine Setup

If you didn’t do it yet the installation part is straight forward. Just download the latest version from and install (Next, Next, Next ...)

Cleaning up asm devices

Just in case you would like to repeat unsuccessful install you may want to clean ASM devices as Oracle will not allow you to use existing devices.

dd if=/dev/zero bs=8k count=1280 of=/dev/asm-disk1

dd if=/dev/zero bs=8k count=1280 of=/dev/asm-disk2

dd if=/dev/zero bs=8k count=1280 of=/dev/asm-disk3

dd if=/dev/zero bs=8k count=1280 of=/dev/asm-disk4
