Hi Melvyn,

Thank you for your reply. It just has the disk & volumes related planning sheet. How about capturing other details like cluster name etc

Also can you provide me General installation and Planning steps. I have done couple of MCSG installations before, But havnt done with CFS

Salam Kamal,

Please go through the below link(Sample Configurations with SGeRAC and
Oracle RAC 11gR1). It has detailed Planning considerations. Hope it will help you to configure the SGeRAC.

Just a remark : Why cluster file system ?
It costs you extra on licenses and support, while you can use Shared-LVM raw logical volumes and Oracle-ASM on top of that, both cost you nothing.

[Aneesh Mohan]

I belive you dont need even Shared Logical Volume also .

Oracle Cluster Ready Service + ASM can be used for this (It is free from Oracle 10g or above ) .

Hi

Actually customer currently has everything based on Symantec Storage foundation, for which the license is getting expired very soon and HP has recommended to use HP SMS to ease the migration.
