Time estimates for ServiceGuard/oracle installation
We need to plan a ServiceGuard installation on a 2 nodes cluster with one Oracle Instance.
I have no idea of the time needed to configure it - for a ServiceGard expert, of course, not me ;-)
What's the additional time needed for a second instance?
I'm convinced that you could give me install time figures for the same with SAP. That would be great !!
Thanks a lot in advance,
Dan

Re: Time estimates for ServiceGuard/oracle installation
First of all, I need more info :
- Is there only an oracle database or are there some applications ?
- Does the second Node sleep and wait for a crash or not ?
- What kind of backups do you need ?
- How many Lan card do you have and what kind of data do they support ?

Re: Time estimates for ServiceGuard/oracle installation
The first cluster will be dedicated to Oracle with one or 2 instances.
It hasn't been decided yet if the second node will be sleeping or not.
Client uses plain cold (offline) Oracle backups as timeframe still allows database shutdown/restart.
Systems are connected to EMC disk array through Connectrix SAN. 2 or 3 Tachyon cards per server.
Best regards,
Dan

Re: Time estimates for ServiceGuard/oracle installation
1) Packages
First, you have to describe your packages.
You will certainly have a package for oracle database but perharps others.
1 package means : 1 IP address, 1 or more Vgs.
The most difficult is not the installation but the start, stop, monitoring script writing.
2) SG Oracle Toolkit
I don't suggest you to use this toolkit.
monitoring script will only do a "ps" of oracle processes.
I prefere an sqlplus XXX/YYY@ZZZ which is a real test.
If all the scripts are prepared before install, this will take only 1 day or 2 days.
If you have specific questions, I'm ready.
Regards,
Patrice.

Re: Time estimates for ServiceGuard/oracle installation
Creating a two node cluster shouldn't take more than 3-4 hrs for an expert. The oracle package will take like another day with the HP's oracle toolkit, including the instance creation and all that.

Re: Time estimates for ServiceGuard/oracle installation
Before instalation you need to draw all hardware ( disk, disk connection, networks..), software (SG, mirror-ux, oracle...) and configurations ( networks, vgs, mirrors disks, ...) to get a full HA environment.
If this is your first S/G you will like to do lots of tests to understand S/G and to check that your configuration falls/raise packet(s) correctly.
I use to take at less 3 weeks to put it into production.

Re: Time estimates for ServiceGuard/oracle installation
Congrats, really well done, it was well deserved... lots of things evolved while off ill...
I will soon be facing my first service-guard installation (5 march), but it will be done with HP, they have planned 5 days for the installation of the 2 machines (L2000)+ 2 brocades switches to the HDS9960 (XP512 - Yes Stephan I made it...) with the testing...
And 5 days for the installation of Oracle App. and testing...
So it seems to take a good 2 weeks minimum...and if I start before you I will let you know how its going on if you wish...
All the best
Victor

Re: Time estimates for ServiceGuard/oracle installation
Thanks a lot. I hope you're feeling better now.
You'll surely start your installation well before I will, so I'd really appreciate all your comments and recommendations. My email is part of my personal quote if you don't want to open a thread just to le me know. ;-)
I used to 'supervise' a ServiceGuard installation when I was working for Michelin (France). The installation was done by a small french company, that HP France was considering as partners.
That was 3 years ago and I didn't put my hands on a cluster since then.
One thing I remember is that the cluster installation on its own was quite straightforward, but when they started adding packages with Oracle and Oracle Financials it turned close to a nightmare... 8-(
At the end of the day, Michelin decided to abandon clustering... I don't know if they changed their mind since then. I sincerely wish you better luck.
That's the reason why I'd like to collect as many feedback, tips and techniques as possible.
Warmest regards,
Dan
