During the installation of Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC, a rudimentary CVM service group is automatically defined in the VCS configuration file, main.cf. This CVM service group includes the CVMCluster resource, which enables Oracle9i RAC communications between the nodes of the cluster, and the CFSfsckd daemons that control the transmission of file system data within the cluster. If for any reason this group has not been created, you may create it by running the command:
/opt/VRTSvxfs/cfs/bin/cfscluster config
To see an example main.cf file with the CVM group configured, refer to Sample VCS configuration files for SF Oracle RAC.
After installing Oracle9i Release 2 and creating a database, you can modify the CVM service group to include the Oracle listener process, the IP and NIC resources used by the listener process, and the CFSMount and CVMVolDg resources. The NIC and IP resources are used by the listener process to communicate with clients via the public network. The CFSMount and CVMVolDg resources are for the Oracle binaries installed on shared storage. The modification of the CVM service group is discussed in Modifying the CVM service group in the main.cf file.
Then you can add the Oracle database service group using the Storage Foundation 5.0 for Oracle RAC wizard. This service group typically consists of an Oracle database created on shared storage, and the CFSMount and CVMVolDg resources used by the database. There may be multiple Oracle database service groups, one for each database.
