Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with 3PAR Remote Copy

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 3PAR Remote
Copy) available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs -> HP Metrocluster with
3PAR Remote Copy.
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.
If using SLVM, create appropriate SLVM volume groups with required raw volumes over
the replicated disks.
b. Set up file systems for RAC database flash recovery.
If you have SLVM, CVM, or CFS configured in your environment, see the following
documents available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs->HP
Serviceguard Extension for RAC:
• Architecture Considerations and Best Practices for Architecting an Oracle 10g R2
RAC Solution with Serviceguard and SGeRAC
• Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC
c. Create the RAC database using Oracle DBCA.
d. Configure and test RAC MNP stack at the local site.
e. Halt the RAC database.
11. Create the identical RAC database at the remote site.
a. Configure the replica RAC database.
b. Configure the RAC MNP at the remote site.
c. Halt the RAC database at the remote site.
12. Configure the Site Controller Package.
13. Configure the Site Safety Latch dependencies.
14. Start the site aware disaster tolerant RAC database in the Metrocluster.
