Preparing to set up a campus cluster in a parallel cluster database environment

To verify your configuration is supported, review the product requirements and licensing information:

See the Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability Configuration and Upgrade Guide.

See the Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC Configuration and Upgrade Guide.

You will need to verify the following to setup a campus cluster:

With keyless licensing, your enterprise product keys enable all of the above features.

The following preparation must be completed before configuring the campus cluster.

To prepare to set up a campus cluster

  1. Configure the physical infrastructure for campus cluster:

    • Set up access to the local storage arrays and to remote storage arrays on each node. The storage link will extend to the third site as well.

    • Set up the private heartbeat network

      See Typical VCS campus cluster setup.

  2. Install the operating system on all the nodes of the cluster.

    See your operating system documenation.

  3. Install and configure either SFCFSHA or SF Oracle RAC on all nodes on both the sites.

    See the Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability Configuration and Upgrade Guide.

    See the Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC Configuration and Upgrade Guide.

    For a setup example, steps are provided to install and configure SF Oracle RAC 7.3 on all four nodes. Your installation and configuration steps will necessarily differ to reflect your configuration details.
