How to Register and Configure the RAC Framework Resource Group for a Cluster

When you register and configure the RAC framework resource group for a cluster, the RAC framework resource group is created.

Perform this procedure if you require Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters to run on all nodes in a cluster.

Before you perform this procedure, ensure that the required Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters software packages are installed on each node. The packages that are required depend on the storage management scheme that you are using for the Oracle Real Application Clusters database. For more information, see Installing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters Packages.

Steps

1. Become superuser.

2. From one node only, create the RAC framework resource group.

   Note –

   The following instructions explain how to perform this operation by using the scsetup utility. For information about how to perform this operation by using the scrgadm utility, see How to Create the RAC Framework Resource Group by Using the scrgadm Utility.

   ---

   1. Start the scsetup utility.

      # scsetup

      The scsetup main menu is displayed.

   2. Type the number that corresponds to the option for data services.

      The Data Services menu is displayed.

   3. Type the number that corresponds to the option for configuring Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters.

      The Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC menu is displayed.

   4. Type the number that corresponds to the option for creating the RAC framework resource group.

      The scsetup utility displays a list of the cluster nodes on which the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters packages are installed. The scsetup utility also asks you to confirm that the RAC framework resource group should be created on these nodes.

   5. To confirm that the scsetup utility should create the RAC framework resource group on the listed nodes, type y.

      The scsetup utility creates the RAC framework resource group and the resources that this resource group contains on the listed nodes.

      ---

      Note –

      If the value of a resource property is changed from its default value, the scsetup utility sets the property to the changed value for the resource that the scsetup utility creates.

      ---

3. Determine if the RAC framework resource group and its resources are online.

   Use the scstat(1M) utility for this purpose. The resource group to verify is named rac-framework-rg. The scsetup utility automatically assigns this name when you create the resource group.

   # scstat -g

4. If the RAC framework resource group and its resources are not online, bring them online.

   # scswitch -Z -g rac-framework-rg

   -Z

   Enables the resource and monitor, moves the resource group to the MANAGED state, and brings the resource group online

   -g rac-framework-rg

   Specifies that the resource group to be moved to the MANAGED state and brought online is rac-framework-rg

Next Steps

The next step depends on the volume manager that you are using, as shown in the following table.
