HP Serviceguard Toolkits for Database Replication Solutions User Guide, March 2012

Table 5 Package attributes (continued)
DescriptionVariable Name
This parameter specifies whether the standby database
must be started as the primary database or not. It has to
START_STANDBY_AS_PRIMARY
be set to [yes] in the recovery package of the
Continentalclusters' recovery group. When primary
package goes down, the user must run the command
cmrecovercl to bring up the recovery package on the
recovery cluster. The recovery package executes the failover
commands and starts the new primary database (which
was originally the standby database before recovery
package startup).
NOTE: The toolkit displays a warning message during
package validation (In package apply cmapplyconf -P
and package check cmacheckconf -P when this
parameter is set to [yes], stating that the parameter must
be used only in the recovery package of the
Continentalclusters environment. The toolkit thus alerts the
user to change its value to [no] if it is not a recovery
package.
This parameter is used to specify the email address for
sending alerts.
ALERT_MAIL_ID
NOTE:
• The other parameters required by the ODG toolkit are sourced from ECMT Oracle/SGeRAC
toolkit module.
• While using ECMT Oracle/SGeRAC toolkit module with ODG toolkit module, the package
configuration parameter START_MODE must always be set to [mount].
Configuring Oracle Data Guard toolkit
To create the logical volume infrastructure on shared disks, follow the instructions in the chapter
Building an HA Cluster Configuration in the manual Managing HP Serviceguard. The disk must
be available to all clustered nodes that are configured to run the 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:
• Install directory method: Scripts remain in the installation directory.
• Configuration directory method: You must 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. You can modify the scripts in the
configuration directory to add any specific requirements. Serviceguard first attempts to use
the hadg.sh (or hadg_rac.sh) script in the configuration directory. If the script is not found in
the configuration directory, it takes it from the installation directory.
