Using Serviceguard Packages to Synchronize with Oracle
10g/11gR1/11gR2 RAC
It is recommended to start and stop Oracle Cluster Software in a Serviceguard package—the
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
CRS starts all RAC instances by default. You must disable CRS from starting up RAC instances
when you configure your RAC instances in SGeRAC packages.
• On each node of the cluster, disable the automatic startup of the Oracle Clusterware at boot
time.
Login as root and enter:
: $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crsctl disable crs
(Check CRS logs or check for Oracle processes, ps -ef | grep ocssd.bin)
• On one node of the cluster, disable the Oracle RAC database and instances from being started
automatically by the Oracle Clusterware.
Login as the Oracle administrator and run the following command to set the database
management policy to manual.
For Oracle 10g:
: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl modify database -d <dbname> -y manual
For Oracle 11g:
: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl modify database -d <dbname> -y MANUAL
Configure Serviceguard Packages
A Serviceguard package is needed for each node to start and stop Oracle Cluster Software.
• Storage activation (SLVM).
When the Oracle Cluster Software required storage is configured on SLVM volume groups,
the Serviceguard package should be configured to activate and deactivate the required storage
in the package control script.
As an example, modify the control script to activate the volume group in shared mode and
set VG in the package control script for SLVM volume groups.
VG[0]=”vg_rac”
• Storage Activation (CVM)
When the Oracle Cluster Software required storage is configured on CVM disk groups, the
Serviceguard package should be configured to activate and deactivate the required storage
in the package configuration file and control script.
In the package configuration file, specify the disk group with the STORAGE_GROUP key word.
In the package controls script, specify the disk group with the CVM_DG variable.
As an example, in the package configuration file should have the following:
STORAGE_GROUP ops_dg
