Using the Serviceguard Toolkit for Oracle Data Guard in an HP Serviceguard Cluster B.01.00, September 2010

"Managing HP Serviceguard" to create the logical volume infrastructure on

shared disks.

The disk must be available to all clustered nodes that will be configured

to run ODG toolkit.

Create file systems on all logical volumes on the volume groups.

The ODG toolkit can be configured in one of the following methods:

a) Install directory method: Here the scripts remain in the installation

directory.

b) configuration directory method: Here the user has to copy the scripts

from the

installation directory (including contents of subdirectories) to the

configuration directory

and define this location in the parameter "TKIT_DIR" in the package

configuration file.

The users can modify the scripts in the configuration directory to add

any specific

requirements. Serviceguard first tries to use the hadg.sh script in the

configuration directory.

If the script is not found in the configuration directory, it takes it

from the installation

directory.

The example configuration uses the installation directory mode operation.

This example on ODG Package Setup and Configuration is for an Oracle Data

Guard

configuration using LVM.

a. Creating a Package configuration

Create two packages – one for the primary database on the primary cluster

and the other for

the standby database on the standby cluster.

Create a directory in /etc/cmcluster, for example "dataguard". This

directory will eventually

become TKIT_DIR and "cd" to this directory.

Run the following commands to create the Package configuration file

Templates. Note that the

ODG toolkit has to be used in combination with the ECMT Oracle toolkit.

A combinational package is the one in which two applications are packaged

together

by combining their respective Serviceguard modules into one package.

The ODG Toolkit module can be combined with the ECMT Oracle Toolkit

module as follows:

#cmmakepkg -m ecmt/oracle/oracle -–m tkit/dataguard/dataguard dgpkg.conf

b. Specifying configuration parameters in the package
