Typical Oracle configuration in a VCS cluster

A typical Oracle configuration in a VCS cluster has the following characteristics:

• VCS is configured in a two-node cluster.
• The Oracle data is installed on shared storage.
• The Oracle binaries are installed locally on both nodes or on shared disks.
• The Veritas Cluster Server Agent for Oracle is installed on both nodes.
