Before You Begin

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.

• Create volumes as the gen use type.

• 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.
