Oracle 10.2 with RAC

[Thomas Hartsook]

Just for the archive, I have managed to get Oracle 10.2.0.2 and RAC installed
on VMS 8.2. I had to:

1) Create TCPIP$PING.EXE as a .com file (symbol PING);
2) Create IFCONFIG.COM (symbol IFCONFIG);
3) Create TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS.COM (ping :== TCPIP$PING.EXE);
4) Create pdn devices on each node to simulate UCX "alias".

You may also need to modify the value of the logicals TCPIP$INET_HOST and define TCPIP$INET_DOMAIN.
MultiNet 5.1 (and earlier) defined TCPIP$INET_HOST to be host.domain and did not define TCPIP$INET_DOMAIN.
Some versions of Oracle want TCPIP$INET_HOST to be defined to host and TCPIP$INET_DOMAIN to be defined.
This has been changed for MultiNet 5.2.

Example:
in MultiNet 5.1:

multinet_host_name = "mynode.example.com"
TCPIP$INET_HOST = "mynode.example.com"

in MultiNet 5.2:
multinet_host_name = "mynode.example.com"
tcpip$inet_host = "mynode"
tcpip$inet_domain = "example.com"
