Tuning the Support for Oracle RAC Fault Monitors

Fault monitoring for the Support for Oracle RAC data service is provided by fault monitors for the following resources:

  • Scalable device group resource

  • Scalable file-system mount-point resource

Each fault monitor is contained in a resource whose resource type is shown in the following table.

Table 5-4  Resource Types for Support for Oracle RAC Fault Monitors
Fault Monitor
Resource Type
Scalable device group
SUNW.ScalDeviceGroup
Scalable file-system mount point
SUNW.ScalMountPoint

System properties and extension properties of these resources control the behavior of the fault monitors. The default values of these properties determine the preset behavior of the fault monitors. The preset behavior should be suitable for most Oracle Solaris Cluster installations. Therefore, you should tune the Support for Oracle RAC fault monitors only if you need to modify this preset behavior.

Tuning the Support for Oracle RAC fault monitors involves the following tasks:

  • Setting the interval between fault monitor probes

  • Setting the timeout for fault monitor probes

  • Defining the criteria for persistent faults

  • Specifying the failover behavior of a resource

Information about the Support for Oracle RAC fault monitors that you need to perform these tasks is provided in the subsections that follow:
