Thanks for quick replay. I am already following this note :) Could you help me about understand this note clearly please. During the note, there are those steps for oracle dba:
1.Install Oracle software on both nodes and create an Oracle data
2.Prepare quorum devices on shared storage.
3.Install the Red Hat Cluster Manger Suite software.
4.Setup the Linux Cluster.
5.Define the Oracle Service.
From upper note, as i understanding ; step 1 and 5 are related wiht me.... Again during the note part:
Install Oracle software on both nodes and create an Oracle database It says this
Install the Oracle 10g binaries on both servers.  Do not create a database at this time. We will create the database after we have installed the binaries.   Make sure that your Oracle home is set to a local, non-shared, directory.  It is not advisable to install the Oracle Binaries on a shared partition at this time.
After the Oracle binaries have been installed, run netca to create a basic listener.  This should be run on both servers in the cluster.After the Oracle binaries have been installed, run netca to create a basic listener.  This should be run on both servers in the cluster.  To create your database you will need to have the shared storage LUN mounted to both nodes in the cluster.  Run dbca to create the database.  Choose the mount point for the shared storage as the location for the Oracle files.
1. By this +"Install the Oracle 10g binaries on both servers. Do not create a database at this time."+ i just install oracle 10g to all nodes?(On installation steps i will choose Oracle Enterprice Edition(877 Mb),then general purpose on next screen and intall it?)
2. By this "+After the Oracle binaries have been installed, run netca to create a basic listener. This should be run on both servers in the cluster.After the Oracle binaries have been installed, run netca to create a basic listener."+ As i know when i install oracle 10g its create listener too, so then why i have to need create again?(Oracle binaries=Oracle Enterprice Edition(877 Mb) if i choose it??)
