Local CVM and Oracle group attributes

The following table lists attributes that must be defined as local for the CVM and Oracle service groups (note that each attribute has string-scalar as the type and dimension).

Resource

Attribute

Definition

IP 

Address 

The virtual IP address (not the base IP address) associated with the interface. For example: 

Address @sysa = "192.2.40.21"

Address @sysb = "192.2.40.22"

Netlsnr 

Listener 

The name of the Listener. For example: 

Listener @sysa = LISTENER_a

Listener @sysb = LISTENER_b

Oracle 

Sid 

The variable $ORACLE_SID represents the Oracle system ID. For example, if the SIDs for two systems, sysa and sysb, are VRT1 and VRT2 respectively, their definitions would be: 

Sid @sysa = VRT1

Sid @sysb = VRT2

Oracle 

Pfile 

The parameter file: $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init$ORACLE_SID.ora. For example: 

Pfile @sysa = "/oracle/VRT/dbs/initVRT1.ora"

Pfile @sysb = "/oracle/VRT/dbs/initVRT2.ora"

Oracle 

Table 

The table used for in-depth monitoring by User/PWord on each cluster node. For example: 

Table @sysa = vcstable_sysa

Table @sysb = vcstable_sysb

Using the same table on all Oracle instances is not recommended. Using the same table generates IPC traffic and could cause conflicts between the Oracle recovery processes and the agent monitoring processes in accessing the table. 


  Note   Table is only required if in-depth monitoring is used. If the PWord varies by RAC instance, it must also be defined as local.


If other attributes for the Oracle resource differ for various RAC instances, define them locally as well. These attributes may include the Oracle resource attributes User, PWord, the CVMVolDg resource attribute CVMActivation, and others.
