Serviceguard Configuration for Oracle RAC
Creating a Storage Infrastructure with CVM
Chapter 2 59
# ln -s /dev/vx/rdsk/ops_dg/opsctl1.ctl \
/u01/ORACLE/db001/ctrl01_1.ctl
Example, Oracle9:
1. Create an ASCII file, and define the path for each database object.
# control1= /dev/vg_ops/ropsctl1.ctl \
/u01/ORACLE/db001/ctrl01_1.ctl
2. Set the following environment variable where filename is the name
of the ASCII file created.
# setenv DBCA_RAW_CONFIG filename
For more information about Oracle directories, refer to the Oracle Server
for HP 9000 Installation and Configuration Guide. More information
about the maximum sizes of data files is found in the Oracle Reference.
Adding Disk Groups to the Cluster Configuration
After creating units of CVM storage with VxVM commands, you need to
specify the disk groups in each package configuration ASCII file. Use one
DISK_GROUP parameter for each CVM disk group the package will use.
You also need to identify the CVM disk groups, file systems, logical
volumes, and mount options in the package control script. The package
configuration process is described in detail in Chapter 6.
