Appendix A Sample Configurations of This Data Service
The software architectures of Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g or 11g are different. As a result of these differences, the configuration of resources and resource groups for the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RAC depends on the version of Oracle that you are using. For each version of Oracle that this data service
supports, the configuration of resources and resource groups also depends on the combination of storage management schemes that you are using for Oracle files.
The sections that follow illustrate the configuration of resources and resource groups for typical combinations of storage management schemes for Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g or 11g on the SPARC® platform for both the global cluster and a zone cluster. On the x86 platform, no Oracle UDLM resource
is required.
Note – These diagrams reflect, where applicable, the use of the multiple-owner volume-manager framework, SUNW.vucmm_framework. This framework is introduced in the Sun Cluster 3.2 11/09 release to contain volume-manager resources,
if used by the RAC configuration, instead of using the RAC framework resource group.
RAC configurations that configure volume-manager resources with the RAC framework, SUNW.rac_framework, are still supported in this release. The use of SUNW.rac_framework to contain volume-manager resources might become deprecated in a future Sun Cluster release. See Legacy Configurations for all diagrams that use SUNW.rac_framework instead of SUNW.vucmm_framework for volume-manager
resources.

Legacy Configurations
This section illustrates configurations that use the RAC framework resource group (SUNW.rac_framework) to contain the multiple-owner volume-manager resources, rather than the multiple-owner volume-manager framework resource group (SUNW.vucmm_framework).
These configurations are still supported in this release, but might become deprecated in a future Sun Cluster release.
