Overview of the RAC Framework Resource Group

The RAC framework resource group enables Oracle Real Application Clusters to be managed by using Sun Cluster commands. This resource group contains an instance of the following single-instance resource types:

• SUNW.rac_framework, which represents the framework that enables Oracle Real Application Clusters to be managed by using Sun Cluster commands

• SUNW.rac_udlm, which represents the UNIX Distributed Lock Manager (Oracle UDLM) component of Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters

In addition, the RAC framework resource group contains an instance of a single-instance resource type that represents the storage management scheme that you are using for the Oracle Real Application Clusters database.

• Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster is represented by the SUNW.rac_svm resource type.

• VxVM with the cluster feature is represented by the SUNW.rac_cvm resource type.

• Hardware RAID support is represented by the SUNW.rac_hwraid resource type.

The resource that represents Sun StorEdge QFS shared file system is not contained in the RAC framework resource group. For information about this resource, see:

• Configuration Planning Questions

• Sun StorEdge QFS and Sun StorEdge SAM-FS File System Administration Guide

The resource types that are defined for the RAC framework resource group do not enable the Resource Group Manager (RGM) to manage instances of Oracle Real Application Clusters.
