Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC, 5th Edition, June 2007

Serviceguard Configuration for Oracle 9i RAC
Creating a Storage Infrastructure with CFS
Chapter 3160
Creating a Storage Infrastructure with CFS
In addition to configuring the cluster, you create the appropriate logical
volume infrastructure to provide access to data from different nodes.
This is done with Logical Volume Manager (LVM), Veritas Volume
Manager (VxVM), or Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM). You can
also use a mixture of volume types, depending on your needs. LVM and
VxVM configuration are done before cluster configuration, and CVM
configuration is done after cluster configuration.
This section has information about configuring a cluster that uses the
Veritas cluster file system (CFS) with Veritas Cluster Volume Manager
(CVM) 4.1 or later. The next section (“Creating a Storage Infrastructure
with CVM” on page 168) has information about configuring the Veritas
Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) with other filesystems, not CFS.
