HP Serviceguard Enterprise Cluster Master Toolkit User Guide, June 2014

NOTE: If the Oracle database is running in a cluster where SGeRAC packages are also
running, the Oracle database must be disabled from being started automatically by the Oracle
Clusterware.
Log in as the Oracle administrator and run the following command to set the database
management policy to manual:
For Oracle 10g:
: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl modify database -d <dbname> —y manual
For Oracle 11g:
: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl modify database -d <dbname> —y MANUAL
Setting up the Toolkit
The internal structure of the Oracle Toolkit Scripts is similar for ASM Support. For more information
on the various Oracle toolkit scripts, see “Support for Oracle Database Without ASM” (page 10)
There are new variables introduced for ASM support, namely, INSTANCE_TYPE, ASM,
ASM_HOME, ASM_USER, ASM_SID, ASM_DISKGROUP, ASM_VOLUME_GROUP ,and
KILL_ASM_FOREGROUNDS. The following variables contained in haoracle.conf will help
understanding these parameters better.
Table 6 Variables or Parameters in haoracle.conf file
DescriptionParameter Name
This parameter must be set only when Oracle database packages created using
ECMT Oracle toolkit and SGeRAC packages run in the same cluster. This
ORA_CRS_HOME
parameter must be set to the Oracle Clusterware home directory. This parameter
can be set only using the CLI not the Serviceguard Manager.
This parameter determines whether the instance is an ASM instance or a
database instance. This can be set either to "database" or "ASM" only. This
INSTANCE_TYPE
parameter must be set accordingly for both the database and ASM instance
packages.
The home directory of Oracle. This parameter must be set only for the database
instance package.
ORACLE_HOME
User name of the Oracle database administrator. Will be used for starting and
stopping of the database. This parameter must be set only for the database
instance package.
ORACLE_ADMIN
The Oracle session name. This is called the session ID (SID). This parameter
must be set only for the database instance package. This parameter is set to
oracle by default.
SID_NAME
This option determines whether Automatic Storage Management (ASM) must
be used to manage the storage for the database instance. This parameter can
ASM
be set to either yes or no. Set it to yes if an ASM database is being used. In
all other cases, set it to no. By default, this parameter is set to no.
This parameter gives the list of all ASM disk groups used by the database
instance. This parameter must be set only for the ASM database instance
package.
ASM_DISKGROUP
NOTE: For ASM instance package, no value must be set for this parameter.
This parameter gives the list of volume groups used in the disk groups for the
ASM database instance. This parameter must be set only for the ASM database
instance package.
ASM_VOLUME_GROUP
