Sample Configuration with HP Serviceguard Extension for RAG and Oracle Real Application Clusters 11g release 2 using Cluster File System

12. Configure Database Storage as needed.

13. Create Database.

Configure SG packages with SGeRAC

Starting and stopping OC in a SG package is recommended; doing so will help ensure that OC will

start after SGeRAC is started and stop before SGeRAC is halted. SG packages should also be used to

synchronize storage activation and deactivation with Oracle Cluster Software and RAC instances. In

addition, the SG package checks CSS in case CSS is halted outside the package—and if CSS is

halted outside the package, the package halts.

SGeRAC A.11.19 includes the SGeRAC Toolkit along with a README document describing the use

of SGeRAC Toolkit.

Prepare Oracle Clusterware software for SG packages

# export ORA_CRS_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/crs

# export ORACLE_HOME=/cfs/mnt1/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1

# export PATH=$PATH:$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

Stop OC on each node.

# crsctl stop crs

Wait until OC completely stops. Check CRS logs or check for Oracle processes—for example:

ps –ef | grep ocssd.bin

Change OC from starting at boot time on each node.

# crsctl disable crs

Disable autostart of Oracle RAC database by OC.

On one node of the cluster, disable the Oracle RAC database and instances so they will not be

started automatically by the Oracle Clusterware.

# srvctl modify database -d orcl -y MANUAL

Create SG packages

In this configuration, the cluster is configured with two SG multi-node packages. The first multi-mode

package will start, monitor, and stop the OC; the second will start, monitor, and stop the Oracle RAC

database. The following example illustrates the configuration of these two multi-node packages. For

more details on configuring these packages, see the SGeRAC README.

Create the SG package for OC.

1. Create package directory.

# mkdir /etc/cmcluster/crsp

# cd /etc/cmcluster/crsp

Create package files.

# cmmakepkg -m sg/multi_node_all -m sgerac/erac_tk_oc
