Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Cluster File System Administrator"s Guide (5900-1738, April 2011)

Define the access mode and permissions for the volumes storing the Oracle

data. For each volume listed in $ORACLE_HOME/raw_config, use the vxedit

command:

# vxedit -g disk_group set group=group user=user mode=660

volume

See the vxedit(1M) manual page.

For example, enter:

# vxedit -g oradatadg set group=oinstall user=oracle mode=660 \

VRT_system01

In this example, VRT_system01 is the name of one of the volumes. Repeat the

command to define access mode and permissions for each volume in the

oradatadg.

Create the database.

See the Oracle documentation.

Creating database tablespace on CFS (option 2)

This section describes how to create database tablespace on CFS (option 2). If you

plan to use a cluster file system to store the Oracle database, use the following

procedure to create the file system.

To creating database tablespace on CFS (option 2)

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.

Create a shared disk group. For example, enter:

# vxdg -s init oradatadg sde
