Storage configuration considerations
The following types of storage are supported for the ECMT Oracle Single Instance DB toolkit package:
• CFS storage
• LVM/VxVM storage
There are a few considerations that need to be taken care of while using any of the above storage types for Oracle
Single Instance DB package Easy Deployment:
• If CFS storage has been used, the ECMT Oracle Easy Deployment operation will require CFS mount point and disk
group packages to be up and running for mount points used by Oracle. The Easy Deployment operation will
discover whether mount point and disk group packages for the Oracle mount points are created or not. If these
packages are configured, it will update the ECMT Oracle toolkit package configuration file with the dependency
parameters.
Note:
If there are no mount point and disk group packages configured for the CFS
storage used by the Oracle files, they will not be configured automatically.
• If LVM/VxVM storage has been used for any of the data files or Oracle binaries, the ECMT Oracle Easy
Deployment operation will discover the file system, mount points, and volume groups used for the same and will
update the package configuration file with the storage values required for setting up the package.
• If the user prefers to use a local disk for Oracle binaries, no storage parameters will be updated in the package
configuration file for Oracle binaries.
Error and exception handling
An error message will appear in the Serviceguard Manager package Easy Deployment operation log window if the
Oracle Single Instance DB package deployment fails for one or more of the following reasons:
• The package directory that the operation is trying to create for the package already exists.
• An unexpected error occurs during the Oracle Single Instance DB package deployment operation.
Limitations
The Easy Deployment feature for the ECMT Oracle Single Instance DB toolkit:
• Supports only modular style of packaging
• Does not support Oracle database using ASM storage
• Supports CFS storage type only if the SG-CFS-pkg (SMNP), mount point, and disk group packages are configured
for the mount points used by the Oracle files
ECMT Oracle package Easy Deployment in Metrocluster Environment
In a Metrocluster environment, the ECMT Oracle Single Instance DB Easy Deployment operation will discover the
values as in a basic Serviceguard cluster. Additionally, if a volume group/disk group is configured on a replication
pair, the appropriate Metrocluster module will be configured. Please refer to the Prerequisites and Restrictions in the
Metrocluster environment for each supported module.
