To create database tablespace on shared raw VxVM volumes (option 1)
1
On any cluster node, log in as root. Find out the spare disks that can be used
for creating shared disk group for Oracle database tablespaces, enter:
# vxdisk -o alldgs list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
sda auto:none - - online invalid
sdb auto:none - - online invalid
sdc auto:cdsdisk - tempdg online shared
sdd auto:cfsdisk - ocrvotedg online shared
sde auto:cdsdisk - - online shared
sdf auto:cdsdisk - - online shared
The above sample output indicates that shared disks sde and sdf are free and
can be used for Oracle database tablespaces.
2
Create a shared disk group:
# vxdg -s init oradatadg sde sdf
3
Create a volume in the shared group for each of the required tablespaces.
See the Oracle documentation specific to the Oracle database release to
determine the tablespace requirements.
For example, enter:
# vxassist -g oradatadg make VRT_system01 1000M
# vxassist -g oradatadg make VRT_system02 10M
