RE: question about oracle shared home install

There's documentation on this, but basically you need to look up how CDSL works on OCFS2. You can effectively have one file that looks like a different file on each node via symbolic links

That being said, I don't recommend sharing your cluster installs. Easier to just have two installs.

Subject: question about oracle shared home install  

Hi All,

Scenario: I'm trying to install 9i rac on a 2 node cluster on OCFS2 OS: Oracle enterprise linux

To my understanding, OCFS2 supports shared home installs which to my knowledge is not only can i have datafile and control files but also clustermanager files and binaries (pretty much everything: no files or executables need to kept local to any nodes). I have one single shared file for $ORACLE_HOME/oracm/admin/cmcfg.ora for both the nodes.

cat cmcfg.ora
ClusterName=Oracle Cluster Manager, version 9i MissCount=620
PrivateNodeNames=sunny1prv sunny2prv
PublicNodeNames=sunny1pub sunny2pub
ServicePort=9998
CmDiskFile=/u01/oradata/orcl/cmquorumfile HostName=sunny1pub
KernelModuleName=hangcheck-timer

I started cluster manager on node1 with the value of HostName=sunny1pub Now to start the cluster manager on node2, the value of HostName should be sunny2pub. What do i do now? Do i have the cluster manager files separate or am i missing out something ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
