Support for Oracle 10g RAC on Cluster File System
(CFS) and Cluster Volume Manager (CVM)
SGeRAC supports Oracle 10g RAC on Cluster File System (CFS) version
4.1 and Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) version 4.1 through
Serviceguard. This feature is available with either HP Serviceguard
Cluster File System for RAC (T2777BA) or HP Serviceguard Cluster File

Oracle 10g RAC on CVM versions 4.1 and 3.5. (For more information on
CFS and CVM support, refer to Managing Serviceguard Twelfth
Edition).
Support for Shared LVM Online Volume
Reconfiguration (SNOR)
Shared LVM Online Volume Reconfiguration (SNOR) supports the
online volume reconfiguration of a shared volume group. This occurs by
deactivating the shared volume group on all but one node. The shared
volume group is changed from shared to exclusive mode while the
volume group is active. After the online volume changes are completed,
the volume group is reactivated from “exclusive” to “shared” status while
the volume group is active. The shared volume group can then be
activated to “shared” on the rest of the nodes in the cluster. See Table 1-2
for patches that are required to support the SNOR feature. (For more
information on SNOR, refer to Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC).
