Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA A.05.01

To set up SADTA in your environment:
1. Set up EVA replication DR Groups in your environment.
2. To install software for configuring Metrocluster.
a. Create Serviceguard Clusters
b. Configure Cluster File System-Multi-node Package (SMNP)
3. To install Oracle:
a. Install and configure Oracle Clusterware.
b. Install and configure Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC).
c. Create RAC databases.
d. Create identical RAC databases at the remote site.
4. Configure the Site Controller Package and the Site Safety Latch.
Prerequisites for configuring SADTA
To configure SADTA in your environment, ensure the following operations are complete:
1. Install Serviceguard.
The Serviceguard version must be compatible with the version of HP-UX installed.
NOTE: For more information on Serviceguard versions, see Serviceguard, SGeRAC, and
SMS Compatibility and Feature Matrix, at:
http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs->HP Serviceguard.
2. Install Serviceguard extension for Oracle RAC.
Install SGeRAC with CFS to use CFS/CVM.
3. Install the required Serviceguard and SGeRAC patches.
For more information on the required Serviceguard and SGeRAC patches, see the Serviceguard
Disaster Recovery Products Compatibility and Feature Matrix (Metrocluster with Continuous
Access EVA) available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs->HP Serviceguard
Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA.
4. Install Metrocluster software.
5. Set up replication between sites.
6. Create Serviceguard clusters with sites defined in the cluster configuration file.
7. Create the SG-CFS-SMNP, if CFS/CVM is configured in your environment.
8. Install and configure Oracle Clusterware.
a. Configure the network.
b. Configure the storage device for installing Oracle Clusterware.
c. Set up the OCR and VOTING directories.
d. Install the Oracle Clusterware software.
e. Configure SGeRAC toolkit packages for the site CRS sub-cluster.
9. Install and configure Oracle RAC.
10. Create the RAC database.
a. Set up file systems for RAC database data files.
The RAC database can be configured to use CVM or SLVM raw volumes, or CFS file
systems.
If using CFS, create SG-CFS-MP packages.
If using CVM, and if HP SG SMS is installed, create SG-CFS-DG packages.
If VERITAS CVM is installed, create a separate modular MNP package at each site for
each disk group in the workload.
