How to Register and Configure Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters for Selected Nodes

When you register and configure Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters for selected nodes, the nodes are added to the RAC framework resource group.

Perform this procedure in the following situations:

• You are adding nodes to a cluster and you want to run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters on the nodes.

• You want to run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters on only a subset of nodes in a cluster.

Before you perform this procedure, ensure that the required Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters software packages are installed on each node. The packages that are required depend on the storage management scheme that you are using. For more information, see Installing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters Packages.

1. Become superuser.

2. Add the nodes to the RAC framework resource group.

   Note –

   The following instructions explain how to perform this operation by using the scsetup utility. For information about how to perform this operation by using the scrgadm utility, see How to Add Nodes to the RAC Framework Resource Group by Using the scrgadm Utility.

   1. Start the scsetup utility.

      # scsetup

   2. Type the number that corresponds to the option for data services.

      The Data Services menu is displayed.

   3. Type the number that corresponds to the option for configuring Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters.

      The Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC menu is displayed.

   4. Type the number that corresponds to the option for adding a node to the RAC framework resource group.

      The scsetup utility responds as follows:

      • The list of nodes that you can add to the RAC framework resource group is displayed. This list contains the cluster nodes on which the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters packages are installed, but on which the RAC framework resource group does not exist.

      • The scsetup utility prompts you for the list of nodes that you are adding.

   5. Type a comma-separated list of the nodes that you are adding to the RAC framework resource group.

3. Bring the RAC framework resource group and its resources online.

   # scswitch -Z -g rac-framework-rg

   -Z

   Enables the resource and monitor, moves the resource group to the MANAGED state, and brings the resource group online

   -g rac-framework-rg

   Specifies that the resource group to be moved to the MANAGED state and brought online is rac-framework-rg
