Configuring CVM service group for Oracle 11g manually

This section describes how to manually edit the main.cf file to configure the CVM and Oracle service groups.

To configure CVM service group for Oracle 11g manually

1. Log in to one system as superuser.
2. Save your existing configuration to prevent any changes while you modify main.cf:

   # haconf -dump -makero

3. Ensure VCS is not running while you edit main.cf by using the hastop command to stop the VCS engine on all systems and leave the resources available:

   # hastop -all -force

4. Make a backup copy of the main.cf file:

   # cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

   # cp main.cf main.orig

5. Using vi or another text editor, edit the main.cf file, modifying the cvm service group and creating Oracle service groups using the sample main.cf files as a guideline.

Saving and checking the configuration

When you finish configuring the CVM and Oracle service groups by editing the main.cf file, verify the new configuration.

To save and check the configuration

1. Save and close the main.cf file.
2. Verify the syntax of the file /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf:

   # cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

   # hacf -verify .

3. Start the VCS engine on one system:

   # hastart

4. Type the command hastatus:

   # hastatus

5. When "LOCAL_BUILD" is listed in the message column, start VCS on the other system:

   # hastart

6. Verify that the service group resources are brought online. On one system, enter:

   # hagrp -display

Modifying the VCS Configuration

For additional information and instructions on modifying the VCS configuration by editing the main.cf file, refer to the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide.
