Perform this task only if you are using VxVM without the cluster file system.
If you are using VxVM without the cluster file system, VxVM requires a shared-disk group for the Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters database to use.
Before you create a VxVM shared-disk group for the Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters database, note the following points.
Do not register the shared-disk group as a cluster device group with the cluster.
Do not create any file systems in the shared-disk group because only the raw data file uses this disk group.
Disks that you add to the shared-disk group must be directly attached to all of the cluster nodes.
Ensure that your VxVM license is current. If your license expires, the node panics.
Use VERITAS commands that are provided for creating a VxVM shared-disk group.
For information about VxVM shared-disk groups, see your VxVM documentation.
After you have created a shared-disk group for the Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters database, go to Registering and Configuring Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters to register and configure Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters.
