Configuring Site Safety Latch Dependencies in the Primary Cluster
After the Site Controller Package configuration is applied, the corresponding Site Safety Latch is
also configured automatically in the cluster. The Site Safety Latch dependencies must be configured.
For more information on configuring these dependencies in the primary cluster, see “Configuring
the Site Safety Latch Dependencies”.
Configuring Oracle RAC and the Site Controller Package in the recovery cluster
This section describes the procedures to configure Oracle RAC and the Site Controller Package in
the recovery cluster. Following are the topics discussed in this section:
1. Configuring Oracle RAC in the recovery cluster
2. Configuring the Site Controller Package in the recovery cluster
3. Configuring the Site Safety Latch Dependencies in the recovery cluster
Configuring Oracle RAC in the recovery cluster
After Oracle RAC is configured in the primary cluster, Oracle RAC must be configured in the
recovery cluster as well. First, install and configure Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC software.
Then, setup a RAC database in the recovery cluster using the replicated disks. This section discusses
the following topics:
1. Install and configure Oracle Clusterware in the recovery cluster
2. Install and configure Oracle RAC in the recovery cluster
3. Setup a RAC database in the recovery cluster using the replicated disks
Install and configure Oracle Clusterware in the recovery cluster
After configuring the recovery cluster, you must install Oracle Clusterware in the recovery cluster.
Use the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) to install and configure the Oracle Clusterware on all
nodes in the recovery cluster. For information on installing and configuring Oracle Clusterware,
see section “Installing and configuring Oracle clusterware” (page 197).
After Oracle Clusterware software is installed, configure SGeRAC Toolkit Packages for the Oracle
Clusterware in the recovery cluster. For information on configuring the Clusterware packages, see
the Use of Serviceguard Extension for RAC Toolkit with Oracle RAC 10g Release 2 or later document
available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs —> HP Serviceguard Extension for
RAC.
Install and configure Oracle RAC in the recovery cluster
After installing Oracle Clusterware, the Oracle RAC software must be installed in the recovery
cluster. To install Oracle RAC, use the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). For information on installing
Oracle RAC, see section “Installing and configuring Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)”
(page 200).
Setup a RAC database in the recovery cluster using the replicated disks
You must setup a RAC database in the recovery cluster using the replicated disks and it must be
configured with the RAC MNP stack in the recovery cluster. Prior to setting up a RAC database in
the recovery cluster, you must first prepare the replication environment. After configuring replication
in your environment, setup the replica RAC database using the replicated disks in the recovery
cluster. This section describes the steps required to setup a RAC database in the recovery cluster.
Complete the following steps to setup a RAC database in the recovery cluster:
1. Suspend replication to the recovery cluster
2. Configure the Storage Device for RAC database in the recovery cluster
3. Prepare the RAC database in the recovery cluster
4. Configure the RAC MNP Stack at the recovery cluster
