Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC, 8th Edition, March 2009

Example:
# 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/vx/rdsk/ops_dg/opsctl1.ctl
or
control1=/u01/ORACLE/db001/ctrl01_1.ctl
2. Set the following environment variable where filename is the name of the ASCII file
created.
# export DBCA_RAW_CONFIG=<full path>/filename
Adding Disk Groups to the Cluster Configuration
For CVM 4.x or later, if the multi-node package was configured for disk group activation, the
application package should be configured with package dependency to ensure the CVM disk
group is active.
For CVM 3.5 and CVM 4.x or later (without using multi-node package) after creating units of
CVM storage with VxVM commands, you need to specify the disk groups in each package
configuration ASCII file. Use one STORAGE_GROUP parameter for each CVM disk group the
package will use. It is necessary to identify the CVM disk groups, file systems, logical volumes,
and mount options in the package control script.
For more detailed information on the package configuration process refer to the Managing
Serviceguard Sixteenth Edition user’s guide.
Installing Oracle 9i RAC
The following sample steps for a SGeRAC cluster for Oracle 9i. Refer to the Oracle documentation
for Oracle installation details.
Install Oracle Software into CFS Home
Oracle RAC software is installed using the Oracle Universal Installer. This section describes
installation of Oracle RAC software onto a CFS home.
1. Oracle Pre-installation Steps
a. Create user accounts.
Create user and group for Oracle accounts on all nodes using the following commands:
# groupadd -g 99 dba
# useradd -g dba -u 999 -d /cfs/mnt1/oracle oracle
Create Oracle home directory on CFS
# cd /cfs/mnt1
# mkdir /cfs/mnt1/oracle
# chown oracle:dba oracle
Change password for Oracle account on all nodes.
# passwd oracle
b. Set up for remote commands
Setup user equivalence for all nodes by adding node name entries to /etc/
hosts.equiv or add entries to the .rhosts of oracle account.
