Using Easy Deployment in Serviceguard and Metrocluster environments on HP-UX 11i v3

21
After finding the CFS storage location of the VOTE disk/OCR disk path, the Easy Deployment
operation checks whether the required mount point and disk group packages are deployed or not. If
these storage packages do not already exist in the cluster, the Easy Deployment operation
automatically deploys these packages. Subsequently, a dependency on the required mount point
packages is configured in the Oracle Clusterware package.
The following Oracle Clusterware parameters are initialized to predetermined values:
• Package name
– In a non-Metrocluster environment, this is set to sgerac_oc_pkg.
– In a site-aware Metrocluster environment, the site_id will be appended to the package name
(sgerac_oc_pkg).
• Package type
• Toolkit directory
The Oracle Clusterware package working directory is set to /etc/cmcluster/sgerac_oc_pkg/
in a non-Metrocluster environment. In a site-aware Metrocluster environment, the Oracle Clusterware
package working directory is set to /etc/cmcluster/sgerac_oc_pkg_<site_id>/. All other
package parameters will be set to default values in accordance to the latest edition of the manual
Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC. Please refer to the same for more details on default package
parameters.
Error and exception handling
An error message will appear in the Serviceguard Manager package Easy Deployment operation log
window if the Oracle Clusterware package deployment fails for one or more of the following reasons:
• The cluster configured with a non-Metrocluster environment already has a non OC package
configured for any other third-party application with the name sgerac_oc_pkg, or in a site-
aware Metrocluster a non-OC package with the name sgerac_oc_pkg_<site_id> already
exists, configured for any other third-party application on a given site.
• An unexpected error occurs during the Oracle Clusterware package deployment operation.
SGeRAC toolkit Oracle RAC database multi-node package Easy Deployment
To deploy an Oracle RAC database package, click on [Configuration] -> [Package Easy
Deployment] -> [Oracle RAC DB Package] menu toolbar of the Serviceguard Manager
Homepage. For more details, refer to the “Launching package Easy Deployment from Serviceguard
Manager” section.
The [Oracle RAC DB Package] menu option is available only when:
• HP Serviceguard cluster is running
• Serviceguard A.11.20 plus PHSS_41628 or superseding patch is installed on all cluster nodes
• SGeRAC A.11.20 plus patch PHSS_41642 or superseding patch is installed on all cluster nodes
Once the user chooses to deploy an Oracle RAC database package from the Serviceguard Manager
Homepage, the user is presented with a simple form as shown in Figure 16.
