Creating database tablespaces shared on raw volumes (option 1)

1. Log in as root user.
2. On the master node, create a shared disk group:

   # vxdg -s init oradatadg HDS0_30

3. Create a volume in the shared group for each of the required tablespaces. Refer to the Oracle documentation to determine the tablespace requirements. For example, type:

   # vxassist -g oradatadg make VRT_galaxy 1000M

   # vxassist -g oradatadg make VRT_spfile1 10M

   .

   .

4. Define the access mode and permissions for the volumes storing the Oracle data. For each volume listed in $ORACLE_HOME/raw_config, use the vxedit(1M) command:

   vxedit -g disk_group set group=group user=user mode=660 volume

   For example:

   # vxedit -g oradatadg set group=dba user=oracle mode=660 \ VRT_galaxy

   In this example, VRT_galaxy is the name of one of the volumes. Repeat the command to define access mode and permissions for each volume in the oradatadg.

5. Create the database using Oracle documentation.
