Using Easy Deployment in Serviceguard and Metrocluster environments on HP-UX 11i v3 - (March 2012)

20
Oracle Clusterware package, the Oracle RAC database package, and the mount point and disk group packages will
also be thereby established.
If a separate storage has been used for Oracle Database software, then the storage information will be populated in
the package configuration so that the user is freed from having to activate the volumes, mount the file system, etc. This
will be taken care of as part of the Oracle RAC database package Easy Deployment.
Parameter discovery and default parameters
By way of automatic package parameter discovery by the Easy Deployment operation, the following Oracle RAC
database package attributes are automatically populated in the corresponding configuration file:
• Cluster nodes
• Oracle user
• OC-MNP package name
• OC-MNP toolkit directory
The Oracle RAC database package name parameter is initialized in the following manner:
• In a non-Metrocluster environment, this is set to rac_<dbname>_pkg.
• In a site-aware Metrocluster environment, the site_id will be appended to the package name
(rac_<dbname>_pkg).
In a non-Metrocluster environment, the Oracle RAC database package working directory is set to
/etc/cmcluster/rac_<dbname>_pkg/. In a site-aware Metrocluster environment, the Oracle Clusterware
package working directory is set to /etc/cmcluster/rac_<dbname>_pkg_site_<site_id>/. All other
package parameters will be set to default values in accordance to the latest edition of the manual Using Serviceguard
Extension for RAC. Please refer to the same for more details on default package parameters.
Error and exception handling
An error message will appear in the Serviceguard Manager package Easy Deployment operation log window if the
Oracle RAC DB deployment fails for one or more of the following reasons:
• A modular RAC DB package is already configured in the cluster for the Oracle database name specified
by the user.
Note:
The package Easy Deployment operation will not be able to identify a legacy
RAC DB package.
Multiple Oracle Clusterware packages have been configured in the cluster.
Note:
The package Easy Deployment operation will not be able to identify a legacy
Oracle Clusterware package.
• An error occurs during deployment of the Oracle Clusterware package. As mentioned before, Oracle RAC
DB package deployment auto-deploys an Oracle Clusterware package if it is not found to be pre-configured in
the cluster.
• The cluster with a non-Metrocluster environment already has a non-RAC DB package configured for any other
third-party application with the name rac_<dbname>_pkg; or, in a site-aware Metrocluster, a non-RAC DB
package with the name rac_<dbname>_pkg_<site_id> already exists, configured for any other third-party
application on a given site.
• An unexpected error occurs during the Oracle RAC DB package deployment operation.
