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

(NOTE: If you opted to store the configuration information on a
local disk and propagate the information to all nodes,
remember pfile/spfile, password file, and all control
files and data files have to be on shared storage. For
this set up, you will need to set up symbolic links to
the pfile and password file from /home/oracle/dbs as
follows:
ln -s /ORACLE_TEST0/dbs/initORACLE_TEST0.ora \
${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/initORACLE_TEST0.ora
ln -s /ORACLE_TEST0/dbs/orapwORACLE_TEST0.ora \
${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/orapwORACLE_TEST0.ora)
Multiple Instance Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If multiple instances will be run in the same cluster, repeat the
preceding steps for each instance. For example, if a second instance
(ORACLE_TEST1) is to be included in the configuration you would:
If you are using LVM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a second volume group (example, /dev/vg0_ORACLE_TEST1),logical
volume and filesystem with mount point (/ORACLE_TEST1) for the second
instance. All configuration information for ORACLE_TEST1 will reside
in /ORACLE_TEST1/dbs. Similar to ORACLE_TEST0, symbolic links need
to be created for all subdirectories (other than /ORACLE_TEST1/dbs/),
to link /ORACLE_TEST1 to /home/oracle.
If you are using VxVM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a second disk group (example, /dev/vx/dsk/DG0_ORACLE_TEST1),
logical volume and filesystem with mount point (/ORACLE_TEST1) for
the second instance. All configuration information for ORACLE_TEST1
will reside in /ORACLE_TEST1/dbs. Similar to ORACLE_TEST0, symbolic
links need to be created for all subdirectories (other than
/ORACLE_TEST1/dbs/), to link /ORACLE_TEST1 to /home/oracle.
If you are using CFS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create another directory /ORACLE_TEST1. Another CFS file system
would then be mounted on /ORACLE_TEST1 by the Serviceguard CFS
packages.
All configuration information for ORACLE_TEST1 will reside in
/ORACLE_TEST1/dbs. Similar to ORACLE_TEST0, symbolic links need to
be created for all subdirectories (other than /ORACLE_TEST1/dbs/), to
