After the Oracle database is configured, you must install the Sentinel database. The database is installed to a single-cluster node as if it is a non-RAC Oracle instance.
You can run the Sentinel installer from any machine with the Oracle client installed, as long as the system has the proper Oracle environment variables set for the oracle user (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE). If the machine is a Sentinel server, you can install the Sentinel components as mentioned in Step 9.
Log in to the installation server as the root user.
Insert and mount the Sentinel installation CD or fileset.
Browse to the CD:
For GUI mode, double-click:
./setup.sh
For textual (headless) mode, run:
./setup.sh –console
