52 Configuring Database Storage on the Host
4 On the Disk Management window, verify if four disks appear. The disks
should be similar in size to each other and to the virtual disks that are
assigned to the nodes in the storage system.
5 Repeat step 1 to step 4 on the remaining nodes.
Preparing the Disks for Oracle Clusterware,
Database, and Backup
This section provides information for creating the logical drives for the
following disks:
• Oracle Cluster Registry disk (OCR)—Contains the cluster configuration
information.
• Voting disk—Provides arbitration between the cluster nodes when the
private network or attached storage is unavailable to one or more nodes.
• Data and backup disks—Provide storage areas for creating the database
(data disk) and saving the backup and log data (backup disk).
During the cluster configuration described in this document, ensure that the
cluster nodes can detect the logical disks that are created in the attached
storage system, when you create the partitions on shared storage.
To prepare the disks for Oracle Clusterware, identify the OCR, voting, data
and flash recovery area disks. After you identify the appropriate disks, perform
the following steps on node 1:
Enabling the Automount Option for the Shared Disks
1 On node 1, click Start  Run .
2 Ty p e cmd and click OK .
3 At the command prompt, type diskpart and press <Enter>.
4 At the DISKPART command prompt, type automount enable and
press <Enter>.
The following message is displayed:
Automatic mounting of new
volumes enabled
.
5 At the DISKPART command prompt, type exit and press <Enter>.
6 Close the command prompt.
7 Repeat step 1 to step 5 on each of the remaining nodes.
