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

Figure 16: Serviceguard Manager, Oracle RAC database package prepare screen
The user is expected to input the Oracle Home path and the Oracle RAC database name and click
the [Prepare] button on the screen to trigger the generation of required package configuration files
for the Oracle RAC database package deployment.
The generated package configuration files for the Oracle RAC database package deployment will be
displayed in separate panes for the user’s review. The user can edit these configuration files. To
complete the Oracle RAC database package deployment the user needs to click on the [Apply]
button in the same screen showing the configuration files.
Automatic package dependency configuration for Oracle Clusterware storage
The Easy Deployment operation finds the Database files location and the redo/archive log files
location. These are used to configure the required dependencies on the storage packages managing
these locations in the Oracle RAC database package configuration file. If storage packages do not
exist to manage these locations, the Easy Deployment operation will automatically deploy them before
configuring the dependencies.
If the Oracle Clusterware package is not configured already on the cluster, then it will be configured
automatically. Also, if no disk group (DG-MNP) and mount point (MP-MNP) packages are configured
for the storage used by the Oracle Clusterware files and RAC database files, they will be deployed
automatically. The dependency between the Oracle Clusterware package, the Oracle RAC database
package, and the mount point and disk group packages will also be thereby established.
If a separate storage has been used for Oracle Database software, then the storage information will
be populated in the package configuration so that the user is freed from having to activate the
volumes, mount the file system, etc. This will be taken care of as part of the Oracle RAC database
package Easy Deployment.
