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.
  
  

Select the database components and component location and press Next to continue.
  
  

Select the init parameters. In this case use AMM is selected and the memory size is specified. Press Next to
continue.
  
  

Keep the defaults and press Next to continue.

Select the options for dbca to generate a template and generation scripts and press Next to continue.
  
  

Review the summary and press OK to continue.

Wait for the dbca to complete.

Optionally choose the password management to change the passwords and unlock the accounts and once
done press Exit to exit from dbca.
  
  

Create Oracle RAC database using dbca

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

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

Select General Purpose or Transaction Processing Database and press Next to continue.
  
  

Select Admin-Managed, enter database global name, SID prefix and press Next to continue. DBCA will
create one database with two instances on each node respectively.
  
  

Select Configure Enterprise Manager and select Automatic Maintenance Tasks Tab.
  
  

Select Enable automatic maintenance tasks and press Next to continue.

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.
  
  

Select the database components and component location and press Next to continue.
  
  

Select the init parameters. In this case use AMM is selected and the memory size is specified. Press Next to

Keep the defaults and press Next to continue.

Select the options for dbca to generate a template and generation scripts and press Next to continue.
  
  

Review the summary and press OK to continue.

Wait for the dbca to complete.

Wait for the dbca to complete.

Wait for the dbca to complete. Optionally choose the password management to change the passwords and
unlock the accounts and once done press Exit to exit from dbca.
