If you added or upgraded the Oracle patches, you must relink the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle. You must link Oracle with the Veritas IPC library and enable Oracle to use the Veritas ODM and cluster membership (VCSMM) libraries. You can relink the libraries using the SF Oracle RAC configuration program.
Note Symantec recommends you to relink the SF Oracle RAC libraries only after completing all the required patch additions.
To prepare to relink the SF Oracle RAC libraries
You can restore these backed up files if the linking gets cancelled or interrupted during execution.
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libskgxpu.oracle.a
To relink the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle9i
Enter Oracle UNIX user name: [b] (oracle)
Enter Oracle UNIX group name: [b] (dba)
Enter Oracle base directory: [b] (/oracle)
Enter absolute path of Database Home directory: [b] (/oracle/VRT)
The configuration program links Oracle with Veritas libraries on each cluster node.
After relinking the libraries, you must verify whether Oracle uses Veritas libraries.
To verify whether Oracle uses Veritas libraries
On each node in the cluster, examine the Oracle alert file, alert_$ORACLE_SID.log, for the following lines:
Oracle instance running with ODM: Veritas 5.0 ODM Library, Version 5.0
cluster interconnect IPC version:Veritas IPC 5.0 08:44:27 Apr 20 2006
