Thank you Dusan! You are correct about some of the commands that I have contained in the /etc/rd.local file. Most of the commands I have put into this script should be run on each boot of the machine(s). At the end of the script, however, you do not need to create the symbolic links in the directory: /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl. I included the section of my /etc/rc.local that you could comment out. I think it was around this time that I was getting a little lazy. ;-)
