Sample Configurations with SGeRAC and Oracle RAC 10gR2, March 2009

6. Add the package to the cluster. Distribute Oracle Clusterware multi-node package (MNP)

directory to all nodes.

# cd /etc/cmcluster

# rcp –r crsp-slvm root@meenie:/etc/cmcluster

Add package to cluster.

# cd /etc/cmcluster/crsp-slvm

# cmapplyconf –P crsp-slvm.conf

Modify the cluster configuration ([y]/n)? y

Completed the cluster creation

Starting and stopping Serviceguard packages and Oracle RAC

On each node, halt Oracle Clusterware if running.

# $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crsctl stop crs

Start the complete stack by running the Serviceguard Package.

# cmrunpkg crsp-slvm

Configuring Serviceguard packages without Serviceguard Extension for RAC

It is recommended to start and stop Oracle Cluster Software in a Serviceguard package, as that will

ensure that Oracle Cluster Software will start after SGeRAC is started and will stop before SGeRAC is

halted. Serviceguard packages should also be used to synchronize storage activation and

deactivation with Oracle Cluster Software and RAC instances. Additionally, the Serviceguard

package also checks CSS in case CSS is halted outside the package. If CSS is halted outside the

package, the package halts.

It is recommended to use SGeRAC Toolkit. This section is a sample if the SGeRAC Toolkit is not used.

Prepare Oracle Cluster Software for Serviceguard packages

# export ORA_CRS_HOME=/mnt/app/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs

# export PATH=$PATH:$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin
