Oracle Data Guard 19c Deployment Series from Zero to Fast Failover part 3 grid installation

In the previous two parts,

were completed.


We connect to both virtual servers using the oracle user.
Under the /u01 directory, we create a directory named sources:

cd /u01/
mkdir sources

Using the SFTP feature in MobaXterm, we transfer the following files into this directory:

LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip

Oracle Database 19.3

LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip

Grid Infrastructure software 19.3

p37641958_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip

Patch 19.29

p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip

OPatch version compatible with the patch

We create the following directory:

mkdir -p /u01/app/19c/grid

The -p option is used to create intermediate directories in case some of them do not already exist.


We move the Grid installation file to the directory we just created:

mv LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip /u01/app/19c/grid/
 
Now we extract it:
cd /u01/app/19c/grid/
unzip LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip
After the unzip process is completed, we remove the existing OPatch directory:
rm -rf OPatch/
We copy the file p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip, which contains the OPatch version compatible with our patch level, into this directory:
cp /u01/sources/p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip .

Then we unzip it.


Next, we move on to the patch and unzip it:

cd /u01/sources/
unzip p37641958_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip

We return to the Grid installation directory:

cd /u01/app/19c/grid/

Before starting the installation, we apply Release Update 19.29 on top of version 19.3 using the following command:

./gridSetup.sh -applyRU /u01/sources/37641958/

After several minutes, the graphical installer screen appears.


Select the following option:

Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server (Oracle Restart)

Then click Next.


On the next screen, select EXTERNAL and choose the disk for which you configured UDEV, then click Next.
Change the disk discovery path to:

/dev/oracleasm/*

Enter the desired passwords.


Skip the Management Options page without selecting anything.


Accept the default operating system groups.


Accept the suggested path for ORACLE BASE.


Accept the suggested path for ORAINVENTORY.


I prefer to run the root scripts manually, so I do not fill in this page.


If any issues appear during the prerequisite checks, click Fix and Check Again to allow the installer to run the recommended scripts.

Some warnings can also be safely ignored.


Click Install to start the installation.
