Oracle 11gR2 RAC installation: EMC PowerPath configuration

Let's continue to our environment setup.
As root I create DBA Group and Oracle User on both nodes, using the following commands:
groupadd dba
groupadd oinstall
useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle


I got the latest rpm available for Linux platform on 64bit from EMC website for PowerPath solution and installed on both nodes as root.


I've setup WWN for this new Rac installation and created a logical storage group from EMC Navisphere software solution.

I've licensed properly this new hosts



Started the PowerPath daemon on both nodes



Let's see what devices our machines can view
Ok. Our nodes can connect and use the logical storage group.
Now it's time to format them (just from one node) as the following screenshot










Next step is to configure SSH on Cluster Member Nodes
