RAC Attack - Oracle Cluster Database at Home/Setup ASMLIB

 Login to collabn1 as oracle and open a teminal. Switch to the root user.

 Install ASMLib on both nodes and initialize the disks. mount command may fail (mount: /dev/cdrom-hda already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy) if you already have cdrom mounted from previous steps. [root@collabn1 ~]# cd /mnt [root@collabn1 mnt]# mount /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/cdrom-hda is write-protected, mounting read-only [root@collabn1 mnt]# mount /mnt/cdrom5 mount: block device /dev/cdrom-hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only
