Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Cluster File System Installation Guide (5900-1510, April 2011)

Create the directories for the CFS mount points as they are on the primary

site. These will be used to host the database and control files when the

failover occurs and the secondary is promoted to become the primary site.

Copy the init$ORACLE_SID.ora file from $ORACLE_HOME/dbs at the primary

to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs at the secondary.

Create subdirectories for the database as you did on the primary site.

Configuring replication on clusters at both sites

You must configure replication for the database files. Once replication is

configured, make sure it is functioning correctly by testing before proceeding.

To configure replication at both sites

At both sites, identify the disks on which the database resides at the primary

site and associate them with the corresponding disks at the secondary site.

See “Setting up replication using VVR on the primary site” on page 324.

Start replication between the sites.

See “Starting replication of application database volume” on page 331.

Modifying the ClusterService group for global clusters

You have configured VCS service groups for the database on each cluster. Each

cluster requires an additional virtual IP address associated with the cluster for

cross-cluster communication. The VCS installation and creation of the

ClusterService group typically involves defining this IP address.

Configure a global cluster by setting:

■ Heartbeat

■ Wide area cluster (wac)

■ GCO IP (gcoip)

■ remote cluster resources

See the Veritas Cluster Server User’s Guide for complete details on global clustering.

Modifying the global clustering configuration using the wizard
