The following output should be generated:
Once again the tool will report a failure due to private subnet being using for the virtual IPs. If this is the only error, we can proceed with the installation.
Oracle ASM is a new feature of Oracle 10g used for storage management which is consistent across all server and storage platforms. ASM provides many advantages, including:
- adding additional disks requires no downtime
- I/O distribution
- filesystem is not buffered allowing for direct I/O
- kernelized asynchronous I/O
Run the cluster verification cluvfy to verify the cluster is ready for a database installation by executing the following command:
d:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs\bin> cluvfy stage –pre dbinst –n all –r 10gR2The following output should be generated:

Pre-check for database installation was unsuccessful on all the nodes. Once again the tool will report a failure due to private subnet being using for the virtual IPs. If this is the only error, we can proceed with the installation.
A database home must be installed to host the ASM instance.
Download Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) x64 for Windows from
here and extract it to a temporary directory. Run setup.exe.
Click Next.
Select Enterprise Edition and click Next.
Specify a name and location for the ASM home and click Next. Note, this home must be not be the same as the cluster home
Select Cluster Installation and select all the nodes in the cluster. Click Next to continue.
The installer will now perform prerequisite checks. Click Next.
Select Install database Software only and click Next. We will patch the ASM installation before the instance is created.
Review the installation summary. Click Install to continue.
The installer will now deploy create the ASM on each node in the cluster.
Once the install has completed, click Exit to close the installer.
