To set up the primary node

1. Create a disk group on the primary node.

   # vxdg init vvrdg sdag sdah sdai sdaj

2. Create a data volume on the primary node.

   # vxassist -g vvrdg make datavol 4500M sdag

3. Create an archive log volume on the primary node.

   # vxassist -g vvrdg make archvol 4500M sdah

4. Create and mount file systems for the data volume and the archive log volume.

   # mkfs -t vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/vvrdg/datavol 
   # mkdir /data 
   # mount -t vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/vvrdg/datavol /data
   # mkfs -t vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/vvrdg/archvol 
   # mkdir /arch
   # mount -t vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/vvrdg/archvol /arch
   

5. Assign the ownership of the data volume and the archive log volume to the Oracle user.

   # chown ora11gr2:dba /data /arch

6. Create SRLs (Storage Replicator Logs) for the data volume and the archive log volume on disks that do not have other volumes on them.

   # vxassist -g vvrdg make datavol_srl 4500M sdai
   # vxassist -g vvrdg make archvol_srl 4500M sdaj
