Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with EMC SRDF

To set up SADTA in your environment:
1. Set up replication using EMC SRDF in your environment.
2. Install software for configuring Metrocluster. This includes:
a. Creating Serviceguard Clusters
b. Configuring Cluster File System-Multi-node Package (SMNP)
3. Install Oracle.
a. Install and configure Oracle Clusterware.
b. Install and configure Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC).
c. Create RAC databases.
d. Create identical RAC databases at the remote site.
4. Configure the Site Controller Package and the Site Safety Latch.
Pre-requisites for configuring SADTA
To configure SADTA in your environment:
1. Install Serviceguard.
The Serviceguard version must be compatible with the HP-UX version installed.
NOTE: For more information about Serviceguard versions, see Serviceguard, SGeRAC,
and SMS Compatibility and Feature Matrix, at: http://www.hp.com/go/
hpux-serviceguard-docs->HP Serviceguard.
2. Install Serviceguard extension for Oracle RAC.
Install SGeRAC with CFS to use CFS/CVM.
3. Install the required Serviceguard and SGeRAC patches.
For more information about the required Serviceguard and SGeRAC patches, see the
Serviceguard Disaster Recovery Products Compatibility and Feature Matrix (Metrocluster with
EMC SRDF) available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs-> HP Metrocluster
with EMC SRDF.
4. Install Metrocluster software.
5. Set up replication between sites.
6. Create Serviceguard clusters with sites defined in the cluster configuration file.
7. Create the SG-CFS-SMNP, if CFS/CVM is configured in your environment.
8. Install and configure Oracle Clusterware.
a. Configure the network.
b. Configure the storage device for installing Oracle Clusterware.
c. Set up the OCR and VOTING directories.
d. Install the Oracle Clusterware software.
e. Configure SGeRAC toolkit packages for the site CRS sub-cluster.
9. Install and configure Oracle RAC.
10. Create the RAC database.
a. Set up file systems for RAC database data files.
The RAC database can be configured to use CVM or SLVM raw volumes, or CFS file
systems.
If using CFS, create SG-CFS-MP packages.
If using CVM, and if HP SG SMS is installed, create SG-CFS-DG packages.
If Veritas CVM is installed, create a separate modular MNP package at each site for
each disk group in the workload.
