Designing Disaster Recovery Clusters using Metroclusters and Continentalclusters, Reprinted October 2011 (5900-1881)

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 on the required Serviceguard and SGeRAC patches, see the Disaster
Tolerant Clusters Products Compatibility Feature Matrix available at http://www.hp.com/go/
hpux-serviceguard-docs.
4. Install Metrocluster software.
5. Set up replication between sites.
The replication mechanism varies depending on the arrays that are configured in the
environment. See the respective chapters of this manual for setting up replication based on
the arrays in your environment.
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.
If using SLVM, create appropriate SLVM volume groups with required raw volumes over
the replicated disks.
b. Set up file systems for RAC database flash recovery.
If you have SLVM, CVM, or CFS configured in your environment, see the following
documents available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs:
• Architecture Considerations and Best Practices for Architecting an Oracle 10g R2
RAC Solution with Serviceguard and SGeRAC
• Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC
c. Create the RAC database using Oracle DBCA.
d. Configure and test RAC MNP stack at the local site.
e. Halt the RAC database.
11. Create the identical RAC database at the remote site.
a. Configure the replica RAC database.
b. Configure the RAC MNP at the remote site.
c. Halt the RAC database at the remote site.
12. Configure the Site Controller Package.
