Overview of SGeRAC Installation and Configuration Tasks
Phases involved in installing and configuring SF 5.0 for Oracle RAC include:
• Preparing to install and configure SF Oracle RAC
• Installing SF Oracle RAC and configuring its components
• Installing Oracle RAC and creating Oracle RAC database
• Setting up disaster recovery in SF Oracle RAC environment (optional)
• Setting up backup and recovery feature for SF Oracle RAC (optional)
Figure 2-9 describes a high-level flow of the SF 5.0 for Oracle RAC installation and configuration
process. Most of these processes are described in the HP Serviceguard Extension for RAC Guide
and the HP Storage Management Suite Guide.
