Overview of Upgrading HA for Oracle Database Resource Types

The existing resource types for the HA for Oracle Database data service are as follows:

  • SUNW.oracle_listener, which represents an Oracle Database listener

  • SUNW.oracle_server, which represents an Oracle Database server


Note -  If you are using an Oracle Grid Infrastructure for Clusters Single Client Access Name (SCAN) listener, the SUNW.oracle_listener resource type is not used.

In addition to the existing resource types, there are three additional resource types included in HA for Oracle Database data service for Oracle ASM. These resource types are as follows:

  • SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy, which represents the single or clustered instance Oracle ASM disk group in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration. For more information about the resource type, see the SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy(5) man page.

  • SUNW.scalable_asm_instance, which represents the single instance Oracle ASM in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration. For more information about the resource type, see the SUNW.scalable_asm_instance(5) man page.


    Note -  Single instance Oracle ASM is not supported in an Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.2 configuration.
  • SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy, which represents a proxy for the clustered Oracle ASM instance in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration. For more information about the resource type, see the SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy(5) man page.

Upgrade the existing resource types if you are upgrading from an earlier version of HA for Oracle Database.
