Installing Oracle RAC...

[piyush mathiya]

Hi Gurus,
Facing problem while installing Oracle RAC. I configured a cluster, but while creating a package. the command "cfscluster" is not exist on the server. I think I need to install QPK patches, if it is right then please let me know, from where I can get QPK Bundle...

Your help will be very helpful to complete my task...

Thanks in advance...

Regards,

Hi,
You have to check if you have SG with CVM 4.1.
Cluster Volume Manager
Look at the supported SGeRac

So have you purchased the "Serviceguard Storage Management Suite for Oracle RAC" product (usually has p/n T2777nn, where nn will be different depending on OS version)

If you don't have that, you can't install Oracle RAC on a cluster filesystem.

Let's step back a bit. What do you *think* you are going to configure (how are you intending to use Oracle RAC - with raw partitions, with ASM or with a filesystem), and what OS components do you have installed?

You probably do not have CFS loaded.


Oracle RAC can be built 3 ways
- CFS (preferred)
- SVLM
- Oracle ASM

CFS is a additional product.
Assuming it is loaded you can configure a simple CFS filesystem using the following.

cmruncl
cfscluster config
cfscluster start
vxdctl -c mode (the rest of the setup should be done on the server)
/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c5t0d4
vxdg -s init datadg c5t0d4
vxassist -g datadg make datavol 300m
newfs -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/datadg/datavol cfsdgadm add datadg all=sw
cfsdgadm activate datadg cfsmntadm add datadg datavol /datavol all=rw
cfsmount /datavol bdf cmviewcl
