RAC Attack - Oracle Cluster Database at Home/Cluster Verification Utility (Shared Filesystem)

 Login to collabn1 as the oracle user and open a terminal.

 Run CVU to validate that you're ready to install CRS. Use the new “fixup” feature of 11gR2 CVU to create a script that can fix missing parameters.

 Switch to the root user and run the fixup script on both nodes.

 As the oracle user, run CVU again to make sure the fixit script worked. The NTP, memory and swap checks might fail – but this is acceptable for our VMware test cluster.
