Summary of Required Procedures
This section summarizes the procedures required to configure Oracle RAC database in a SADTA.
Complete the following steps to set up SADTA in your environment:
1. Set up replication in your environment.
Based on the existing arrays in your environment, see the respective chapters of this manual
to set up replication.
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.
Checklist for Configuring SADTA
Use the following checklist while configuring SADTA in your environment.
NOTE: This checklist does not include detailed procedural information. Before installing any of
the required software products, see the Disaster Tolerant Clusters Products Compatibility Feature
Matrix available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs.
1. Install Serviceguard.
The Serviceguard version must be compatible with the version of HP-UX installed. For more
information on Serviceguard versions, see Serviceguard, SGeRAC, and SMS Compatibility
and Feature Matrix, at:
