Support for the SGeRAC Toolkit
The SGeRAC Toolkit provides documentation and scripts to simplify the integration of SGeRAC
and the Oracle 10gR2/11gR1 RAC stack. It also manages the dependency between Oracle
Clusterware and Oracle RAC instances with a full range of storage management options supported
in the Serviceguard and SGeRAC environment.The framework provided by the SGeRAC toolkit
is unique in the high level of multi-vendor (Oracle, Symantec, HP) and multi-storage platform
(CFS, SLVM, CVM, ASM over SLVM) integration it offers.
SGeRAC toolkit uses the multi-node package and simple package dependency features integrated
with HP Serviceguard and SGeRAC version A.11.19, which provides a uniform, easy-to-manage
and intuitive method to coordinate the operations of the SGeRAC and Oracle Clusterware
combined software stack. The toolkit is supported across the full range of storage management
options supported by SGeRAC: CFS, SLVM, CVM and ASM (over SLVM). For software download
