Oracle RAC
Enter the description portion of the RAC definition in the \network\admin\tnsnames.ora file
where Oracle is installed. Locate the description, which looks similar to this example:
RAC=(description=
(address_list=
(load_balance=on)
(failover=on)
(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=2k3rac1-vip)(port=1521))
(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=2k3rac2-vip)(port=1521)))
(connect_data=(service_name=kfsrac)
)
)
When you are prompted during installation to provide the Oracle RAC connection, copy the
description for your RAC and paste it into the field. If you are typing the string manually, remove
line breaks and extra spaces, as in this example:
(description=(address_list=(load_balance=on)(failover=on)(address=(protocol=
tcp)(host=2k3rac1-vip)(port=1521))(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=2k3rac2-
vip)(port=1521)))(connect_data=(service_name=kfsrac)))
