Overview of the Installation and Configuration Process

Use the following procedures to install and configure a data service.

Installation and Configuration Task Flow

The following table summarizes the tasks for installing and configuring Oracle Solaris Cluster data services. The table also provides cross-references to detailed instructions for performing the tasks.

Example of Configuring a Failover Data Service

This example summarizes how to set up the resource types, resources, and resource groups that a failover data service for the Oracle application requires. For complete instructions for configuring the data service for the Oracle application, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle Guide.

The principal difference between this example and an example of a scalable data service is as follows: In addition to the failover resource group that contains the network resources, a scalable data service requires a separate resource group (scalable resource group) for the application resources.

The Oracle application has two components—a server and a listener. Oracle supplies theOracle Solaris Cluster HA for Oracle data service, and therefore these components have already been mapped into Oracle Solaris Cluster resource types. Both of these resource types are associated with resources and resource groups.

Because this example is a failover data service, the example uses logical hostname network resources, which are the IP addresses that fail over from a primary node to a secondary node. Place the logical hostname resources into a failover resource group, and then place the Oracle server resources and listener resources into the same resource group. This ordering enables all of the resources to fail over as a group.

For Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Oracle to run on the cluster, you must define the following objects:
