Create Oracle RAC and Oracle RAC ONE Node Database Using Dbca

Create Oracle RAC and Oracle RAC ONE Node Database using dbca in Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.2)

In this article we will look at creating Oracle RAC and RAC ONE Node database using dbca. For install/upgrade to Oracle 11.2.0.2 look here.

Create Oracle RAC ONE Node database using dbca

Start dbca and select Oracle RAC One Node database and press Next to continue.

Select ‘Create a Database’ and press Next to continue.

Select Custom Database and press Next to continue.

Select Admin-Managed, enter database global name, SID prefix and service name and press Next to continue. DBCA will create one database with one instance which can be migrated across the nodes selected.

Enter and confirm the password(s) and press Next to continue.

Specify storage type and storage location and press Next to continue.

Specify the Fast recovery area (formerly flash recovery area) and press Next to continue.
