3.1.3.1 Creating Shared Disk Groups for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters

If you use VxVM to set up shared disk groups for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters, use the cluster functionality of VxVM as described in the VERITAS Volume Manager Administrator's Reference Guide. Differences between creating shared disk groups for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters and creating other disk groups include the following items.

• You must import the Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters shared disk groups using vxdg -s.

• You do not register the Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters shared disk groups with the cluster framework.

To create other VxVM disk groups, see "3.3.5 How to Create a New Disk Group When Initializing Disks (VERITAS Volume Manager)".
