Creating an Oracle Grid Infrastructure Framework Resource

The Oracle Grid Infrastructure framework resource is a resource of the type SUNW.crs_framework. This resource is created within the Oracle RAC framework resource group whenever Oracle Grid Infrastructure is present on the cluster. This resource enables Oracle Solaris Cluster software to control the starting and stopping of Oracle Grid Infrastructure through the resource dependencies in Oracle Solaris Cluster. This ensures that Oracle Grid Infrastructure is only started when the resources it depends on are also available, and that it is stopped cleanly when any resource it depends on is no longer available.

How to Create an Oracle Grid Infrastructure Framework Resource

Before You Begin

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• The Oracle RAC framework is created and is online. See Registering and Configuring the Oracle RAC Framework Resource Group.

• Storage resources for Oracle files are configured. See Registering and Configuring Storage Resources for Oracle Files.

• The Oracle RAC software is installed. See Installing Oracle RAC Software.

• The installation of the Oracle RAC software is verified. See Verifying the Installation of Oracle RAC.

Ensure that you have the following information:

• The full path to the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory

1. On one node of the cluster, become superuser.
2. Start the clsetup utility.

   # clsetup

   The clsetup main menu is displayed.

3. Choose the menu item, Data Services.

   The Data Services menu is displayed.

4. Choose the menu item, Oracle Real Application Clusters.

   The clsetup utility displays information about Support for Oracle RAC.

5. Press Return to continue.

   The clsetup utility prompts you to select whether you are performing the initial configuration of Support for Oracle RAC or administering an existing configuration.

6. Choose the menu item, Oracle RAC Create Configuration.

   The clsetup utility prompts you to select the Oracle RAC cluster location. This location can be the global cluster or a zone cluster.

7. Type the option number for the location of the Oracle RAC cluster and press Return.
   • If you select the global cluster option, the clsetup utility displays the list of components of Oracle RAC to configure. Skip to Step 9.
   • If you select the zone cluster option, the clsetup utility prompts you to select the required zone cluster. Proceed to Step 8.
8. Type the option number for the required zone cluster and press Return.

   The clsetup utility displays the list of components of Oracle RAC to configure.

9. Choose the menu item, Oracle Clusterware Framework Resource.

   The clsetup utility displays the list of prerequisites for performing this task.

10. Verify that the prerequisites are met, and press Return.

    The clsetup utility displays a list of Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directories that exist on the cluster.

11. Specify the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory for your installation of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure software.
    • If the directory is listed, type the option number for the directory that you are selecting and press Return.
    • If the directory is not listed, type the full path to the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory and press Return.
12. Specify the Oracle Clusterware OCR and voting disks.
    • If a desired name is listed, type the number that corresponds to the name that you are selecting and press Return.

      The clsetup utility displays a list of Oracle home directories that exist on the cluster.

    • If a desired name is not listed, specify the name explicitly:
      1. Type e and press Return.

         The clsetup utility prompts you for the full path for the OCR and voting disk.

      2. Type the full path of the file-system mount point or disk group and press Return.

         The clsetup utility prompts you whether to enter more values. Type yes to specify another path name or no if you have no more path names to add and press Return.

    The clsetup utility displays the names of the Oracle Solaris Cluster objects that the utility will create.

13. If you require a different name for any Oracle Solaris Cluster objects, change the name.
    1. Type the option number for the name to change and press Return.

       The clsetup utility displays a screen where you can specify the new name.

    2. At the New Value prompt, type the new name and press Return.

    The clsetup utility returns you to the list of the names of the Oracle Solaris Cluster objects that the utility will create.

14. To confirm your selection of Oracle Solaris Cluster object names, press Return.

    The clsetup utility displays information about the Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration that the utility will create.

15. To create the configuration, type c and Press Return.

    The clsetup utility displays a progress message to indicate that the utility is running commands to create the configuration. When configuration is complete, the clsetup utility displays the commands that the utility ran to create the configuration.

16. Press Return to continue.

    The clsetup utility returns you to the list of options for configuring Support for Oracle RAC.

17. (Optional) Type q and press Return repeatedly until you quit the clsetup utility.
