The RAC framework resource group enables Oracle Real Application Clusters to be managed by using Sun Cluster commands. This resource group contains an instance of the following single-instance resource types:
SUNW.rac_framework, which represents the framework that enables Oracle Real Application Clusters to be managed by using Sun Cluster commands
SUNW.rac_udlm, which represents the UNIX Distributed Lock Manager (Oracle UDLM) component of Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters
In addition, the RAC framework resource group contains an instance of a single-instance resource type that represents the storage management scheme that you are using for the Oracle Real Application Clusters database.
Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster is represented by the SUNW.rac_svm resource type.
VxVM with the cluster feature is represented by the SUNW.rac_cvm resource type.
Any combination of storage management schemes without a volume manager is represented by the SUNW.rac_hwraid resource type.
If you are using the Sun StorEdge QFS shared file system, an additional resource is required to represent the metadata server for the Sun StorEdge QFS shared file system. This resource is not contained in the RAC framework resource group. For information about this resource, see the following documentation:
SPARC: Resources for the Sun StorEdge QFS Shared File System
Sun StorEdge QFS and Sun StorEdge SAM-FS File System Administration Guide
The resource types that are defined for the RAC framework resource group do not enable the Resource Group Manager (RGM) to manage instances of Oracle Real Application Clusters.
