Setting up Oracle for shared storage

 To set up the new system for shared storage

1. If Oracle system binaries are installed on a clustered file system, set up the new system for Oracle.
   • Create a mount point for the shared file system on the new system; this mount point should have the same name as is used by the shared file system on the existing cluster nodes:

     # mkdir /app

   • Mount the shared file system on the new node.

     # mount -t vxfs -o cluster /dev/vx/dsk/orabindg/orabinvol \

     /app

2. On one of the existing nodes, run the following command to ensure the new node is recognized by CVM:

   # /etc/vx/bin/vxclustadm nidmap

   Name CVM Nid CM Nid State
