Resources for Scalable Device Groups and Scalable File-System Mountpoints

If you are using Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster or VxVM, configure storage resources as follows:

Create one scalable resource group to contain all resources for scalable device groups.
Create one resource for each Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster multi-owner disk set or VxVM shared-disk group that you are using for Oracle files.

If you are using Sun StorageTek QFS or qualified NAS devices, configure storage resources as follows:

Create one scalable resource group to contain all resources for scalable file-system mountpoints.
Create one resource for each Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system or NFS file system on a qualified NAS device that you are using for Oracle files.

The resource that represents a Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system can start only if the file system's Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server is running. Similarly, the resource that represents a Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system can stop only if the file system's Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server is stopped. To meet this requirement, configure a resource for each Sun StorageTek QFS metadata server. For more information, see Resources for the Sun StorageTek QFS Metadata Server.
