Planning Storage for Oracle Cluster Software
Oracle Cluster Software requires shared storage for the Oracle Cluster
Registry (OCR) and a vote device. Automatic Storage Management can
not be used for the OCR and vote device since these files must be
accessible before Oracle Cluster Software starts. The minimum required
size for the OCR is 100MB and for the vote disk is 20 MB. The Oracle
OCR and vote device can be created on supported shared storage,
including SLVM logical volumes, CVM raw volumes, and CFS file
systems (on HP-UX releases that support Veritas CFS and CVM; see
“About Veritas CFS and CVM from Symantec” on page 22).
