Hi Listers,

 

            I am trying to set up a two-node RAC on Windows 2000 Advanced Server on Proliant DL 580 Servers.  I am following the metalink document 178882.1 and Harrison B. Redhouse’s document DIY Multi-Node RAC on a single Windows PC downloaded from www.oaktable.net.  I am having two separate nodes and hence there was no need to use VMvare to simulate two nodes as mentioned in Harrison B. Redhouse’s document.  I ran through all the steps as mentioned in both the documents.  But when I am using DBCA to install cluster database on the first node I am getting the following error when I click FINISH button:

 

            The filepath S:\Oradata\CLUST\CWMLITE01.DBF is invalid.  Please check the permissions.

 

            I have stopped and restarted the GSD service.  I have also installed the Oracle 9.2.0.3 patch and created the listener successfully. I am trying to install the cluster database through the command

            Dbcadatafiledestination S:\oradata. 

 

            I am able to see the shared disk from both the disk manager and Windows explorer.

 

            I am really stuck up with this problem.  Any pointers as to what am I missing would be highly appreciated.

 

            Looking forward to hear from any of you soon.

 

            Thanks and Regards,

 

            Ranganath
