Among the noticeable changes and new features 12c doesn't support storing clusterware files in block devices as such provisions must be made either to store in the shared file systems or in ASM. Even if upgrading ocr files must be moved to ASM before the upgrade.
12c supports IPv6 for public IP and VIP. However this post uses IPv4 for public and VIP.
12c has also introduced several new administrative privileges for job role separation for database related tasks in data guard, key management and backup.
1. The RHEL 6 version used for the setup is RHEL 6 - U4
# uname -r 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_642. Create OS groups and users needed for role separation. Oracle user will own database software and grid user will own the clusterware.
groupadd dba groupadd oinstall groupadd oper groupadd asmoper groupadd asmdba groupadd asmadmin groupadd backupdba groupadd dgdba groupadd kmdba useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper,asmdba,backupdba,dgdba,kmdba oracle useradd -g oinstall -G asmadmin,asmdba,asmoper,dba gridgrid user was made part of the dba group as per 1084186.1. (If this issue is still there on 12c was not tested).
3. Create user equivalence manually and do not wait for OUI to do this during the installation even though Oracle documentation says "You can configure SSH from the OUI interface during installation for the user account running the installation. The automatic configuration creates passwordless SSH connectivity between all cluster member nodes. Oracle recommends that you use the automatic procedure if possible.". Without this manual user equivalence none of the cluvfy commands will complete successfully.
4. Create directory structure for clusterware and Oracle base and set with relevant ownership and permission. For GI_HOME
mkdir -p /opt/app/12.1.0/grid chown -R grid:oinstall /opt/app chown grid:oinstall /opt chmod -R 775 /opt/app chmod 775 /optFor ORACLE_BASE
mkdir -p /opt/app/oracle chown oracle:oinstall /opt/app/oracle chmod 775 /opt/app/oracleAfter running the root.sh the ownership of these directories (for GI_HOME) will be changed to root. But before the installation it must be owned by grid with oinstall as group and both user and group must have read,write and execute permissions.
5. Verify pre-req package list is installed. Follow GI installation guide and metalink note Requirements for Installing Oracle Database 12.1 on RHEL6 or OL6 64-bit (x86-64) [ID 1529864.1] for list of rpms required. Starting with 11.2.0.2 and including 12c "the 32-bit packages are required only for 32-bit client installs". In this setup servers used had both 32-bit and 64-bit version were installed.
6.Set resource limit for both oracle and grid user in /etc/security/limits.conf file
oracle soft nproc 2047 oracle hard nproc 16384 oracle soft nofile 1024 oracle hard nofile 65536 oracle soft stack 10240 oracle hard stack 32768 grid soft nproc 2047 grid hard nproc 16384 grid soft nofile 1024 grid hard nofile 65536 grid soft stack 10240 grid hard stack 327687. Disable x11 forward for grid and oracle user by adding the following to each user's .ssh/config file
Host * ForwardX11 no8. Disable tty on .bashrc for both grid and oracle user
if [ -t 0 ]; then stty intr ^C fiand also set umask value in .bashrc for grid and oracle user
umask 0229. ASMLib is not used for this RAC setup. Instead block devices are used as ASM disk. Setup udev rules for block devices with following ownerships and permissions.
KERNEL=="sdb[1]", OWNER="grid", GROUP="asmadmin", MODE="660"If scsi_id command is used to find the UUID then the command listed on the GI install documentation fails on RHEL 6.
# /sbin/scsi_id -g -s /block/sdb/sdb1 /sbin/scsi_id: invalid option -- 's'-s is not a supported option on RHEL 6. Instead use the following
/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/sdbFurther more Oracle documentation mentions with external redundancy a minimum of 1 disk of 700MB size is sufficient to store both OCR and vote disk when not configuring cluster management repository. However it must be stated 700MB is not sufficient the disk space should be at least 1069MB.
10. Running cluvfy fails with the following message
ERROR: Reference data is not available for verifying prerequisites on this operating system distribution Verification cannot proceedAs mentioned in upgrade to 12c post install redhat-release-6Server-1.noarch.rpm found in the pack available with 1514012.1. (Also refer 1567127.1). After the aforementioned rpm is installed cluvfy can continue without any issue. If the cluvfy or OUI cannot find the UUID for a disk during the disk share check following message will be shown. From cluvfy
Checking Devices for ASM...

PRVF-5149 : WARNING: Storage "/dev/sdb1" is not shared on all nodesFrom OUI
Error is due to test system using VirtualBox to setup the RAC and partitions not returning an UUID. Installation could be continued ignoring this error. In a proper system where UUID is available the cluvfy would have the following messages when these check succeed.
