  3. You can decide to unzip it from your laptop (using Windows native functionalities, WinZip, 7-Zip or other tools or directly from the server.
  4.

  5. Once the package decompression is completed, you'll end up with two directories, grid and database containing the installation files.
  6. [oracle@collabn1 sf_12cR1]$ ls -l total 6295549 drwxrwx---. 1 root vboxsf 0 Jul 3 06:38 database drwxrwx---. 1 root vboxsf 0 Jun 10 08:15 grid -rwxrwx---. 1 root vboxsf 1361028723 Jun 27 16:21 linuxamd64_12c_database_1of2.zip -rwxrwx---. 1 root vboxsf 1116527103 Jun 27 16:12 linuxamd64_12c_database_2of2.zip -rwxrwx---. 1 root vboxsf 1750478910 Jun 27 16:27 linuxamd64_12c_grid_1of2.zip -rwxrwx---. 1 root vboxsf 201673595 Jun 27 15:23 linuxamd64_12c_grid_2of2.zip
  7. Install the cvuqdisk package as root:
  8. [root@collabn1 ~]# rpm -Uvh /media/sf_12cR1/grid/rpm/cvuqdisk-1.0.9-1.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] Using default group oinstall to install package 1:cvuqdisk ########################################### [100%] [root@collabn1 ~]#
  9. Do the same on node collabn2:
  10. [root@collabn2 ~]# rpm -Uvh /media/sf_12cR1/grid/rpm/cvuqdisk-1.0.9-1.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] Using default group oinstall to install package 1:cvuqdisk ########################################### [100%] [root@collabn2 ~]#
