Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC Version A.11.20 - (August 2011)

Modify the package control script to set the CVM disk group to “activate” for shared write
and to specify the disk group.

• Storage Activation (CFS)
When the Oracle Cluster Software required storage is configured on a Cluster File System
(CFS), the Serviceguard package should be configured to depend on the CFS multi-node
package through package dependency. With package dependency, the Serviceguard package
that starts Oracle Cluster Software will not run until its dependent CFS multi-node package is
up and will halt before the CFS multi-node package is halted.
Setup dependency conditions in Serviceguard package configuration file (SAMPLE).
DEPENDENCY_NAME mp1
DEPENDENCY_CONDITION SG-CFS-MP-1=UP
DEPENDENCY_LOCATION SAME_NODE
DEPENDENCY_NAME mp2
DEPENDENCY_CONDITION SG-CFS-MP-2=UP
DEPENDENCY_LOCATION SAME_NODE
DEPENDENCY_NAME mp3
DEPENDENCY_CONDITION SG-CFS-MP-3=UP
DEPENDENCY_LOCATION SAME_NODE
• Start and stop Oracle Cluster Software.
In the Serviceguard package control script, configure the Oracle Cluster Software start in the
customer_defined_run_cmds function.
For 10g 10.1.0.4 or later:
/sbin/init.d/init.crs start
For 10g 10.2.0.1 or later:
<CRS HOME>/bin/crsctl start crs
In the Serviceguard package control script, configure the Oracle Cluster Software stop in the
customer_defined_halt_cmds function.
For 10g 10.1.0.4 or later:
/sbin/init.d/init.crs stop
For 10g 10.2.0.1 or later:
<CRS HOME>/bin/crsctl stop crs
When stopping Oracle Cluster Software in a Serviceguard package, it may be necessary to
verify that the Oracle processes have stopped and exited before deactivating storage or
halting CFS multi-node package. The verification can be done with a script that loops and
checks for the successful stop message in the Oracle Cluster Software logs or the existences
of Oracle processes that needed to be stopped, specifically the CSS daemon (ocssd.bin).
For example, this script could be called by the Serviceguard package control script after the
command to halt Oracle Cluster Software and before storage deactivation.
