PrefaceThis guide explains how to configure a server in preparation for installing and configuring anOracle Grid Infrastructure installation (Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Automatic StorageManagement).It also explains how to configure a server and storage in preparation for an Oracle RealApplication Clusters (Oracle RAC) installation. Audience Documentation Accessibility Set Up Java Access Bridge to Implement Java AccessibilityInstall Java Access Bridge so that assistive technologies on Microsoft Windows systemscan use the Java Accessibility API. Related Documentation ConventionsAudienceThis guide provides configuration information for network and system administrators, anddatabase installation information for database administrators (DBAs) who install andconfigure Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Automatic Storage Management in an Oracle GridInfrastructure for a cluster installation.For users with specialized system roles who intend to install Oracle RAC, this book isintended to be used by system administrators, network administrators, or storageadministrators to configure a system in preparation for an Oracle Grid Infrastructure for acluster installation, and complete all configuration tasks that require operating system rootprivileges. When Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation and configuration is completedsuccessfully, a system administrator should only need to provide configuration informationand to grant access to the database administrator to run scripts as root during an Oracle RACinstallation.This guide assumes that you are familiar with Oracle Database concepts.Documentation AccessibilityFor information about Oracle's commitment to accessibility, visit the Oracle AccessibilityProgram website at http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx acc&id docacc.Access to Oracle SupportOracle customers that have purchased support have access to electronic support through MyOracle Support.

PrefaceSet Up Java Access Bridge to Implement Java AccessibilityInstall Java Access Bridge so that assistive technologies on Microsoft Windowssystems can use the Java Accessibility API.Java Access Bridge is a technology that enables Java applications and applets thatimplement the Java Accessibility API to be visible to assistive technologies onMicrosoft Windows systems.Refer to Java Platform, Standard Edition Accessibility Guide for information about theminimum supported versions of assistive technologies required to use Java AccessBridge. Also refer to this guide to obtain installation and testing instructions, andinstructions for how to use Java Access Bridge.Related Topics Java Platform, Standard Edition Java Accessibility GuideRelated DocumentationFor more information, see the following Oracle resources:Related Topics Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux and UNIX Oracle Database Installation Guide Oracle Clusterware Administration and Deployment Guide Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide Oracle Database Concepts Oracle Database New Features Guide Oracle Database Licensing Information Oracle Database Release Notes Oracle Database Examples Installation Guide Oracle Database Administrator's Reference for Linux and UNIX-Based OperatingSystems Oracle Automatic Storage Management Administrator's Guide Oracle Database Upgrade Guide Oracle Database 2 Day DBA Oracle Application Express Installation GuideConventionsThe following text conventions are used in this document:ConventionMeaningboldfaceBoldface type indicates graphical user interface elements associatedwith an action, or terms defined in text or the glossary.xvi
