Reference Architecture: Consolidating Oracle Databases with Secure Resource Partitions in a Serviceguard Cluster Whitepaper

same level of security and flexibility of the configuration described in this white paper. To keep the
configuration modular and flexible, the Oracle file systems are mounted when the SRP starts.
Each SRP configuration can include a private fstab file (/var/hpsrp/<SRP>/etc/fstab) consisting of
file systems that are mounted and unmounted at SRP stop or start time. The SRP private fstab uses the
same format as the system fstab file. Therefore, any type up file system can be mounted during SRP
start.
Software used
The following software is in this deployment.
Software:
HP-UX 11iv3 B.11.31.1003
Secure Resource Partitions v2 A.02.01
Oracle 11g R1 11.1.0.6.0
Serviceguard A.11.19.00
In addition to B.11.31.1003, the following patches have been applied:
PHCO_40507 1.0 compartments cumulative patch
PHKL_40105 1.0 sec_net_rules cumulative patch
PHKL_40506 1.0 sec_file_rules cumulative patch
PHNE_41004 1.0 cumulative ARPA Transport patch
PHCO_39042 1.0 cron(1M) cumulative patch
Step 1: Creating the SRP
Create an SRP using the /sbin/srp tool. Before you create the SRP, collect the following information:
 General:
– SRP name
– SRP administrator
– SRP login group
 Network:
– IP address
– Netmask
– Default gateway
 Oracle:
– Oracle user
– Oracle DBA group
– Oracle product install directory
– Oracle DB directory
The following table provides the information required to build an SRP and install the Oracle software
in the SRP private directory. The values in the table are specific to this example and vary from
deployment to deployment.
For Serviceguard integration, multiple shared logical volumes (SLVM) are created.
Serviceguard manages these logical volumes and their associated file systems, so you do
not need to create entries in the SRP private fstab file.
