Complete these tasks before setting up zones and clusters on the Database Domains with zones in the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4.
You might have to repartition the drives in the Exadata Storage Servers that are accessed by the zones that you create in this document. See Guidelines for Planning the Storage Server Disk Group Layout for more information. Refer to the Exadata Storage Server documentation for more information.
You must make the following decisions on the zones and the clusters before beginning the processes in this document:
The number of zones that you want to create on the Database Domains with zones
The size of each zone that you want to create
The number of clusters that you want to create, and the number of zones that you want to have as members of each cluster
The starting IP addresses for the following networks for each zone and cluster that you are creating:
Administration network
Client access network
Private IB network
Backup/Data Guard network (optional)
You must make the following decisions on the Exadata Storage Server layout before beginning the processes in this document:
The number of Exadata Storage Servers and the amount of disk space available for the zones and clusters that you will be creating
The size of the following disk groups for each cluster:
DATA
RECO
DBFS
Note - You can opt to designate the DBFS disk group as UNUSED, where the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and voting disks are part of the DATA disk group.
At the time of your initial installation, the Oracle representatives should have provided a document with all the following information:
Name of the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4
IP addresses and host names for Oracle ILOM for the following components:
SPARC T4-4 servers with Database Domains that you are setting up zones on
Exadata Storage Servers
IP addresses and host names for the 1 GbE host management administration network for the following components:
Exadata Storage Servers
Switches (IB leaf and spine switches, and the Cisco switch)
PDUs
IP addresses and host names for the IB network for the Exadata Storage Servers
In addition, as part of the initial installation when your SPARC SuperCluster T4-4 was first set up, the Oracle installer should have saved a configuration file that contains all the configuration information for your system. You need this configuration file in order to set up zones on Database Domains with zones.
You need this information and configuration files for certain procedures in this document.
