Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle Real Application Clusters Guide for Solaris OS

Before You Begin

Before you create a VxVM shared-disk group for the Oracle Real Application Clusters database, note the following points.

Ensure that the required Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters software packages are installed on each node. For more information, see Installing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters Packages.
Do not register the shared-disk group as a cluster device group with the cluster.
Do not create any file systems in the shared-disk group because only the raw data file uses this disk group.
Create volumes as the gen use type.
Disks that you add to the shared-disk group must be directly attached to all of the cluster nodes.
Ensure that your VxVM license is current. If your license expires, the node panics.
