RAC Attack - Oracle Cluster Database at Home/Create RAC Attack DVD


If you are in a class or at an event, then the instructor may have provided a second virtual DVD named RAC11gR2.iso to save some class time. It contains all additional software downloads.

  • Skip this lab and continue to the next one.

If you are at home, then follow these instructions to download all needed software and build the second DVD yourself.

  • Continue below.


  1. While logged in as root, download the latest release of the RAC Attack supporting code (GPL). # cd ~ # curl -kL github.com/ardentperf/racattack/tarball/master | tar xz
  2. You can view the master list of downloads here: https://github.com/ardentperf/racattack/blob/master/makeDVD/auto.sh If you have already downloaded any of these files, you may optionally copy them to the /tmp directory in your virtual machine. When you create the DVD, any remaining files will be automatically downloaded.
  3. Create the DVD by running the automatic build script. You will be prompted for your Oracle SSO login and password.
