Configuring global clusters


Configuring global clusters
Prev	Configuring the SF Oracle RAC cluster	Next

If you had installed a valid HA/DR license, the installer provides you an option to configure this cluster as global cluster. If not, the installer proceeds with other set of questions for CVM and CFS.

You can configure global clusters to link clusters at separate locations and enable wide-area failover and disaster recovery. The installer adds basic global cluster information to the VCS configuration file. You must perform additional configuration tasks to set up a global cluster.

See the Veritas Cluster Server User’s Guide for instructions to set up SF Oracle RAC global clusters.

Note:

If you installed a HA/DR license to set up campus cluster, skip this installer option.

To configure the global cluster option

Review the required information to configure the global cluster option.
Specify whether you want to configure the global cluster option.
```
Do you want to configure the Global Cluster Option? [y,n,q] (n) y
```
If you skip this option, the installer proceeds to configure VCS based on the configuration details you provided.
Provide information to configure this cluster as global cluster.

The installer prompts you for a NIC, a virtual IP address, and value for the netmask.

If you had entered virtual IP address details, the installer discovers the values you entered. You can use the same virtual IP address for global cluster configuration or enter different values.

Verify and confirm the configuration of the global cluster.

    Global Cluster Option configuration verification:

    NIC: bge0
    IP: 192.168.1.16
    Netmask: 255.255.240.0

    Is this information correct? [y,n,q] (y)

On Solaris x64, an example for the NIC's port is bge0.
