Step 1: Install Oracle Clusterware

Use the detailed instructions in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide to perform the following steps on the source node:

  1. Install Oracle Clusterware 12c. This installation puts Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and the voting file on Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM).

    Note:

    Either install and configure the Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster or install just the Oracle Clusterware software, as described in your platform-specific Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide.

    If you installed and configured Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster, then you must stop Oracle Clusterware before performing the cloning procedures. If you performed a software-only installation, then you do not have to stop Oracle Clusterware.

  2. Install any patches that are required (for example, an Oracle Grid Infrastructure bundle patch), if necessary.
  3. Apply one-off patches, if necessary.
