Various Tools for Installing, Configuring Oracle RAC

1)Oracle Universal Installer (OUI)- After configuring the pre-installation tasks of the nodes OUI installs the Oracle Clusterware and the Oracle Database software with Oracle RAC. It also can install oracle software on the other nodes using a network connection.

2)Cluster Verification Utility (CVU)- The CVU is a command-line tool. It is very useful to check the nodes for preinstallation as well as postinstallation requirements of the cluster environment. In fact OUI runs the CVU after the Oracle Clusterware installation to verify the environment.

3)Oracle Enterprise Manager- With EM it is easy to configure RAC environments. It has both the Database Control and Grid Control graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

4)Server Control (SRVCTL)- SRVCTL is a command-line interface that you can use to manage an Oracle RAC database from a single point. Using SRVCTL you can start or stop or manage any instance on the cluster.

5)Cluster Ready Services Control (CRSCTL)- CRSCTL is a command-line tool that you can use to manage Oracle Clusterware. You can use CRSCTL to start and stop Oracle Clusterware and to determine the current status of your Oracle Clusterware installation.

6)Oracle Interface Configuration Tool (OIFCFG)- OIFCFG is a command-line tool which you can use to allocate and de-allocate network interfaces to components. You can use OIFCFG to direct components to use specific network interfaces and to retrieve component configuration information.

7)OCR Configuration Tool (OCRCONFIG)- OCRCONFIG is a command-line tool for OCR administration. You can also use the OCRCHECK and OCRDUMP utilities to troubleshoot configuration problems that affect the OCR.
