Database Reference
In-Depth Information
For cluster installations in particular you need to be careful at this stage when adding nodes to the cluster. If your
system administrator has made the ASM LUNs available to the host you are about to install they must not be touched by
the installer, otherwise you lose data! To prevent human errors, it is usually safer to not present the database LUNs to the
host at installation time. Linux is very flexible and SAN storage can be made available to the host without rebooting.
Be aware that the storage warning dialog will be repeated for each disk with an unknown partition table or file system.
Surprisingly the next screen allows you to configure the network. The storage configuration will be performed later.
Network configuration
You would have expected to be able to review the storage layout now but first you need to define the hostname of your
new server. If you are using DHCP, supply the short hostname only, otherwise provide a fully qualified domain name
(FQDN). The fully qualified hostname has been used in Figure 5-2 . New to Oracle Linux 6 is the ability to define the
network properties at this stage. Click on the “Configure Network” button in the lower-left corner of the screen to access
the network configuration settings. The following dialog allows you to configure wired, wireless, mobile broadband, VPN,
and DSL connections. Most enterprise systems will need to configure wired connections at this stage. Highlight your
current network card by clicking on it, then chose “edit” from the right-hand menu. The resulting configuration options
are shown in Figure 5-2 .
