Designing Disaster Tolerant High Availability Clusters, 10th Edition, March 2003 (B7660-90013)

Building a Continental Cluster
Support for Oracle 9i RAC Instances in a ContinentialClusters Environment
Chapter 5 283
The Oracle 9i RAC instance package can be started in sequence by using:
# cmrecovercl -g <recoverygroupname>
If option -g is used to start up the first instance package, you should wait
until the XP disk arrays are synchronized to the “PAIR” state before
starting up the second instance package.
If option “-g”is used with the command cmrecovercl, the following
messages will be given instead:
“WARNING: This command will take over for the primary cluster
Primary_Cluster_Name by starting the recovery package on the recovery
cluster Recovery_Cluster_Name. You must follow your site disaster
recovery procedure to ensure that the primary packages on
Primary_Cluster_Name are not running and that recovery on
Recovery_Cluster_Name is necessary. Continuing with this command
while the applications are running on the primary cluster may result in
data corruption. Are you sure that the primary packages are not running
and will not come back, and are you certain that you want to start the
recovery packages [y/n]?
The configuration file /etc/cmconcl/ccrac/ccrac.config for Oracle
9i RAC instances support exists. If the recovery package in the target
group is configured within this file, the data storage will be prepared for
this recovery process. Is this what you intend to do [y/n]?
These message prompts can be disabled by running cmrecoverycl with
option “-y”.
NOTE At the recovery time, ContinentalClusters is responsible for recovering
the Oracle 9i RAC instance packages configured. The data integrity and
data currency at the recovery site are based on your XP/CA configuration
in the Oracle 9i environment.
