Using Serviceguard Packages to Synchronize
with Oracle 10g 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.
Preparing Oracle Cluster Software for Serviceguard
Packages
• Stopping the Oracle Cluster Software on each Node
For 10g 10.1.0.04 or later:
# /sbin/init.d/init.crs stop
For 10g 10.2.0.01 or later:
# <CRS HOME>/bin/crsctl stop crs
Wait until Oracle Cluster Software completely stops. (Check CRS
logs or check for Oracle processes, ps -ef | grep ocssd.bin)
• Change Oracle Cluster Software from Starting at Boot Time
on each Node
For 10g 10.1.0.04 or later:
# /sbin/init.d/init.crs disable
For 10g 10.2.0.01 or later:
# <CRS HOME>/bin/crsctl disable crs
Configure Serviceguard Packages
A Serviceguard package is needed for each node to start and stop Oracle
Cluster Software.
• Storage Activation (SLVM)
