NOTE: This setup is not supported if Oracle 10g Release 1 is configured with LVM
or VxVM. If Oracle 10g Release 1 is configured with LVM or VxVM, local
configuration is recommended. The above configuration is supported in Oracle 10g
Release 2 and Oracle 11g, only if Oracle's Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
is not configured on that node.
◦ For CFS:
In this setup, you can setup Oracle as an optional database on a CFS mounted file
system (/ORACLE_TEST0, in our example) with all Oracle binaries and configuration
files in a CFS mounted file system.
NOTE: You must install Oracle license on every node that might potentially run
Oracle in the cluster.
• Set up additional database logical volumes, with LVM
A database can reside on the same volume group or logical volume as
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs, but more commonly, the database resides on several volume
groups and logical volumes that must be shared among the nodes that are able to run
the Oracle instances. A naming convention for the volume groups that includes the instance
name (${SID_NAME}) can be used to associate a volume groups with a unique instance.
For example:
Raw disk access for Oracle data:
/dev/vg01_ORACLE_TEST0/rlvol1 # Raw logical volume Oracle data
/dev/vg02_ORACLE_TEST0/rlvol1 # Raw logical volume Oracle data
/dev/vg02_ORACLE_TEST0/rlvol2 # Raw logical volume Oracle data
or, for use with Asynchronous disk access and file systems:
/dev/vg01_ORACLE_TEST0/lvol1 # Logical volume Oracle data
/dev/vg02_ORACLE_TEST0/lvol1 # Logical volume Oracle data
/dev/vg02_ORACLE_TEST0/lvol2 # Logical volume Oracle data
See the Oracle documentation to determine the appropriate format for your environment.
All data belonging to the database must reside on shared logical volumes (raw or file
system), you must share and allocate space to the following data:
◦ Oracle tablespaces
◦ Oracle rollback segments
◦ Oracle logfiles
After you define the shared volume groups/logical volumes/file systems for
these entities, see the Oracle documentation for creating the database.
NOTE: If you are using VxVM, create appropriate disk groups.
If you are using CFS mounted file systems, the ${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs and database
can reside in the same CFS file system. Also, have multiple Oracle databases
corresponding to multiple Oracle packages can reside in the same CFS file system.
However, HP recommends that you have different CFS file systems for different Oracle
packages.
