In Windows, Oracle Universal Installer creates and sets startup and shutdown services at installation time. The key differences between UNIX and Windows installations are: If you are experienced with installing Oracle components in UNIX environments, note that many manual setup tasks required on UNIX are not required on Windows. Installation Differences Between Windows and UNIX The following is a list of context help commands, shown with the normal, post-installation command line syntax:Ĭluvfy: CVU displays high-level generic usage text describing the stage and component syntax.Ĭluvfy -help: CVU displays detailed CVU command information.Ĭluvfy comp -list: CVU displays a list of components that can be checked, and brief descriptions of how each component is checked.Ĭluvfy comp -help: CVU displays detailed syntax for each of the valid component checks.Ĭluvfy stage -list: CVU displays a list of valid stages.Ĭluvfy stage -help: CVU displays detailed syntax for each of the valid stage checks. For example, if you enter runcluvfy.bat stage -pre dbinst with the appropriate directory prefix, then CVU shows the correct syntax for the database pre-installation checks that CVU performs with the dbinst stage option.

If you enter an invalid CVU command, then CVU shows the correct usage for that command. Expect to see many errors if you run this command before you or your system administrator complete the cluster pre-installation steps.ĬVU commands have context-sensitive help that shows correct syntax usage based on the command line arguments that you enter.


Use the location of your Oracle Clusterware installation media for the media value and a list of the nodes, separated by commas, in your cluster for node_list. Where applicable, the output shows results for each node in a tabular layout.įor a quick test, you can run the following CVU command that you would normally use after you have completed the basic hardware and software configuration: prompt> media\clusterware\cluvfy\runcluvfy.bat stage –post hwos –n node_list When you use the -verbose argument, the command's output includes detailed information about each individual check. During pre-installation, Oracle recommends that you obtain detailed output by using the -verbose argument with the CVU command as shown in example. The following code example is of a CVU help command, run from a staged copy of the Oracle Clusterware directory downloaded from OTN into a directory called stage on your C: drive: C:\> stage\clusterware\cluvfy\runcluvfy.bat comp nodereach -n node1,node2 -verboseīy default, when you enter a CVU command, CVU provides a summary of the test and its results.
