Setting up VCS to manage RAC resources

Storage Foundation provides the capability to completely automate the RAC environment. This capability ranges from enabling automatic control of the entire database environment to having VCS mount cluster file systems or enable CVM and CFS daemons. The user or DBA is free to choose the level of control and automation.

VCS uses the main.cf configuration file to manage resources in the cluster. The Storage Foundation installation process creates a basic VCS configuration file. After installing Oracle and creating the database, you can modify the main.cf file on one of the cluster nodes to reflect the new resources and their configuration.

You can configure VCS service groups using the configuration wizard or manually.
