# List of cluster aware LVM Volume Groups. These volume groups will
# be used by package applications via the vgchange -a e command.
# Neither CVM or VxVM Disk Groups should be used here.
# For example:
# VOLUME_GROUP /dev/vgdatabase
# VOLUME_GROUP /dev/vg02
# List of OPS Volume Groups.
# Formerly known as DLM Volume Groups, these volume groups
# will be used by OPS or RAC cluster applications via
# the vgchange -a s command. (Note: the name DLM_VOLUME_GROUP
# is also still supported for compatibility with earlier versions.)
# For example:
# OPS_VOLUME_GROUP /dev/vgdatabase
# OPS_VOLUME_GROUP /dev/vg02
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. (Note for HP-UX releases that support Veritas CFS and
CVM; see “About Veritas CFS and CVM from Symantec” (page 25))
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. In the next
section (“Creating a Storage Infrastructure with CVM” (page 73)) has information
about configuring the Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) with other filesystems,
not CFS.
For more information refer to your version of the Serviceguard Extension for RAC
Release Notes and HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Release Notes located
at http://docs.hp.com -> High Availability.
Creating a SGeRAC Cluster with CFS for Oracle 10g
The following software needs to be pre-installed in order to use this configuration:
NOTE: If you are installing CFS 4.1 or 5.0 with either the Storage Management Suite
(SMS) bundle or Mission Critical Operating Environment (MCOE), use the appropriate
product number as described in the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Release
Notes.
With CFS, the database software and database files (control, redo, data files), and
archive logs may reside on a cluster file system, which is visible by all nodes.
