How to Register and Configure Oracle ASM Resource Groups in a Zone Cluster (CLI)

Before You Begin

• Ensure that the Oracle Clusterware framework resource is created and that dependencies are configured between the RAC framework resource and the Oracle Clusterware framework resource.

• Ensure that the RAC framework resource group, the multiple-owner volume-manager framework resource group if used, and their resources are online.

Perform all steps from the global zone.

1. Register the ASM resource types for the data service.
   1. Register the scalable ASM instance proxy resource type.

      # clresourcetype register -Z zcname SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy

   2. Register the ASM disk-group resource type.
      • For For Oracle 10g and 11g release 1 only, use the SUNW.asm_diskgroup resource type.

        # clresourcetype register -Z zcname SUNW.asm_diskgroup

      • For Oracle 11g release 2 only, use the SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource type.

        # clresourcetype register -Z zcname SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy

2. Create resource groups asm-inst-rg and asm-dg-rg.

   # clresourcegroup create -Z zcname -S asm-inst-rg asm-dg-rg

   asm-inst-rg

   Specifies the name of the Oracle ASM instance resource group.

   asm-dg-rg

   Specifies the name of the Oracle ASM disk-group resource group.

3. Set a strong positive affinity on rac-fmwk-rg by asm-inst-rg.

   # clresourcegroup set -Z zcname -p rg_affinities=++rac-fmwk-rg asm-inst-rg

4. Set a strong positive affinity on asm-inst-rg by asm-dg-rg.

   # clresourcegroup set -Z zcname -p rg_affinities=++asm-inst-rg asm-dg-rg

5. If the Oracle Oracle ASM home is located on a Sun QFS shared file system, create a storage resource.
   1. Ensure that the file system is available for use from within the zone cluster.

      # clzonecluster configure zcname
      clzc:zcname> add fs
      clzc:zcname:fs> set dir=mountpoint
      clzc:zcname:fs> set special=QFSfilesystemname
      clzc:zcname:fs> set type=samfs
      clzc:zcname:fs> end
      clzc:zcname> verify
      clzc:zcname> commit
      clzc:zcname> exit

   2. Create a storage resource and bring it online.

      Create a SUNW.qfs resource with a dependency on a SUNW.wait_zc_boot resource.

      # clresourcetype register SUNW.wait_zc_boot
      # clresourcetype register SUNW.qfs
      
      # clresourcegroup create -S scal-wait-zc-rg
      # clresourcegroup create qfs-rg
      
      # clresource create -g scal-wait-zc-rg \
      -t SUNW.wait_zc_boot \
      -p zcname=zcname \
      wait-zc-rs
      
      # clresource create -g qfs-rg \
      -t SUNW.qfs \
      -p QFSFileSystem=qfs-mp \
      -p resource_dependencies=wait-zc-rs
      qfs-rs
      
      # clresourcegroup online -eM scal-wait-zc-rg
      # clresourcegroup online -eM qfs-rg

      scal-wait-zc-rg

      Specifies the name of the SUNW.wait_zc_boot resource group.

      qfs-rg

      Specifies the name of the QFS resource group.

      wait-zc-rs

      Specifies the name of the SUNW.wait_zc_boot resource.

      -p QFSFileSystem=qfs-mp

      Sets the mount point of the QFS shared file system that is used for the Oracle Oracle ASM home.

   3. Create a scalable mount-point resource, set the resource dependency, and bring the resource group online.

      # clresourcetype register -Z zcname SUNW.ScalMountPoint
      # clresourcegroup create -Z zcname -S scal-mp-rg
      
      # clresource create -Z zcname -g scal-mp-rg \
      -t SUNW.ScalMountPoint \
      -p mountpointdir=qfs-mp \
      -p filesystemtype=s-qfs \
      -p targetfilesystem=qfs-fs \
      -p resource_dependencies_restart=global:qfs-rs \
      qfs-mp-rs
      
      # clresourcegroup online -Z zcname -eM scal-mp-rg

      scal-mp-rg

      Specifies the name of the scalable mount-point resource group.

      -p targetfilesystem=qfs-fs

      Specifies the name of the QFS shared file system.

      qfs-rs

      Specifies the name of the QFS resource.

      qfs-mp-rs

      Specifies the name of the scalable mount-point resource.

6. Create a SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy resource and set the resource dependencies.
   • For a QFS shared file system, perform the following command:

     # clresource create -Z zcname -g asm-inst-rg \
     -t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy \
     -p ORACLE_HOME=oracle-asm-home \
     -p CRS_HOME=crs_home \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node1}"=asm-instance1 \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node2}"=asm-instance2 \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=crs-fmwk-rs,qfs-mp-rs \
     -d asm-inst-rs

   • For a local file system, perform the following command:

     # clresource create -Z zcname -g asm-inst-rg \
     -t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy \
     -p ORACLE_HOME=oracle-asm-home \
     -p CRS_HOME=crs_home \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node1}"=asm-instance1 \
     -p "ORACLE_SID{node2}"=asm-instance2 \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=crs-fmwk-rs \
     -d asm-inst-rs

     -g asm-inst-rg

     Specifies the name of the resource group into which the resources are to be placed.

     -t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy

     Specifies the type of the resource to add.

     -p ORACLE_HOME=Oracle-asm-home

     Sets the path to the Oracle Oracle ASM home directory.

     -p ORACLE_SID=asm-instance

     Sets the Oracle Oracle ASM system identifier.

     -d asm-inst-rs

     Specifies the name of the resource that you are creating.

7. Add an ASM disk-group resource type to the asm-dg-rg resource group.
   • For Oracle 10g and 11g release 1 only, use the SUNW.asm_diskgroup resource type.

     # clresource create -Z zcname -g asm-dg-rg -t SUNW.asm_diskgroup \
     -p asm_diskgroups=dg[,dg…] \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=asm-inst-rs,asm-stor-rs \
     -d asm-dg-rs

     -t SUNW.asm_diskgroup

     Specifies the type of the resource to add.

     -p asm_diskgroups=dg

     Specifies the ASM disk group.

     -d asm-dg-rs

     Specifies the name of the resource that you are creating.

   • For Oracle 11g release 2 only, use the SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy resource type.

     # clresource create -Z zcname -g asm-dg-rg -t SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy \
     -p asm_diskgroups=dg[,dg…] \
     -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=asm-inst-rs,asm-stor-rs \
     -d asm-dg-rs

8. Bring online the asm-inst-rg resource group in a managed state on a cluster node.

   # clresourcegroup online -Z zcname -eM asm-inst-rg

9. Bring online the asm-dg-rg resource group in a managed state on a cluster node.

   # clresourcegroup online -Z zcname -eM asm-dg-rg

10. Verify the Oracle ASM configuration.

    # clresource status -Z zcname +
