Creating the Oracle RAC database

Create the Oracle RAC database on shared raw VxVM volumes or shared VxFS file systems. Use your own tools or scripts or review the guidelines on using the Oracle DBCA (Database Creation Assistant) tool to create the database.

For instructions on creating an Oracle RAC database:

See About creating a test database.

For more information, see the Oracle RAC documentation.

Note:

If you plan to configure global clusters, then set up the Oracle RAC database only on the primary site. On the secondary site, the database will be replicated.

Make sure that you configure the database for availability if the database cache fusion traffic is configured to use Oracle UDP IPC private IP addresses and if these addresses are configured as a PrivNIC or MultiPrivNIC resource.

See Adding Oracle UDP IPC private IP addresses to the Oracle initialization parameter file.
