Using the Oracle Toolkit in a HP Serviceguard Cluster README Revision: B.06.00, August 2010

this database instance. Create a file system to hold the necessary
configuration information and symbolic links to the Oracle
executables. This file system will be used as ORACLE_HOME in the
package control scripts. Since the volume group and file system
have to be uniquely named within the cluster, use the name of the
database instance ($SID_NAME) in the name. Assuming the name of
the database is 'ORACLE_TEST0', follow the instructions in the
manual "Managing Serviceguard" ("Building an HA Cluster
Configuration") to create the following:
LVM
----
/dev/vg0_ORACLE_TEST0 (the volume group)
/dev/vg0_ORACLE_TEST0/lvol1 (the logical volume)
/dev/vg0_ORACLE_TEST0/lvol1 (the filesystem)
mounted at /ORACLE_TEST0
VxVM
-----
/dev/vx/dsk/DG0_ORACLE_TEST0 (the disk group)
/dev/vx/dsk/DG0_ORACLE_TEST0/lvol1 (the logical volume)
/dev/vx/dsk/DG0_ORACLE_TEST0/lvol1 (the filesystem)
mounted at /ORACLE_TEST0
If you are using CFS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make sure that the Serviceguard CFS packages are running in order for
the
Oracle package to access CFS mounted file systems. Please refer to
your
Serviceguard Manual for information on how to configure Servicegaurd
CFS
packages. Create a directory /ORACLE_TEST0 on all cluster nodes.
Mount
the CFS file system on /ORACLE_TEST0 using the Servicegurad CFS
packages.
Use /ORACLE_TEST0 to hold the necessary configuration
information
and symbolic links to the Oracle executables.
* Assuming Oracle is installed in /home/oracle, create symbolic
links to all subdirectories under /home/oracle with the exception
of the dbs directory (dbs contains important instance configuration
files, and should reside in the shared storage in ${SID_NAME},
example, /ORACLE_TEST0/dbs).
* Test the setup to ensure Oracle can be properly brought up.
Log on as 'oracle'. Set environment variables ORACLE_HOME to
/home/oracle and ORACLE_SID to ORACLE_TEST0. Test Oracle to ensure
that it can be properly started.
