Install Oracle 10g on Windows XP - Part 2

In this part we will see the ASM installation and ASM instance Creation.

Step 1: Invoke the Oracle Universal Installer. In the Welcome Screen select Advanced Installation and click Next button.

Step 2: In the Select Installation Type, select the appropriate choice. In our case we select Standard Edition.

Step 3: Specify the ASM Home details.

Click Next.

Step 4: Check for any errors and correct it if any. Click Next.

Step 5: Choose the Configure Automatic Storage Management option and specify the SYS password. Click Next.

Step 6: In the next screen do the following,

1. Specify the Disk Group name.
2. Choose the redundancy type.
3. Select the candidate disks you want to assign for this disk group.

Note: You must have stamped the disks before to make Oracle recognize the disks. If you have not stamped the disks already, click the stamp disks button to invoke the asmtool utility. You can then stamp the disks as shown in the Stamp disks section in the part 1.

Click Next

Step 7: Click Install.

Click the Exit button. The ASM installation is completed.

Note: You can use the DBCA to create addition disk groups.
