The Define Clusters page should show the Database I/O Domains or the Database Zone Domains that contain the database zones that you are configuring and the storage servers that are installed in your Oracle SuperCluster.
For example, assume you have the following configuration:
Oracle SuperCluster M8 and SuperCluster M7, with three storage servers
Two Database Zone Domains that contain the database zones that you are currently configuring
This configuration also assumes this information:
The two Database Zone Domains that contain the database zones that you are configuring are shown with the ZHST prefix.
The three storage servers in your Oracle SuperCluster are shown with the CELL prefix.
If you were configuring a Database Domain, it will have the PHY prefix.
Make these configuration decisions before proceeding.
In this example, click Cluster 1.
By default, a cluster name of cluster-clunumber is assigned to the cluster (such as cluster-clu1). You might experience problems with Enterprise Manager if multiple systems have the same cluster names across systems, so you must change the default cluster name to a unique name within your organization (for example, systemname-clusternumber, such as scM701-clu1). The name cannot be longer than 15 characters.
The Database I/O Domains are identified as PHY and the Database Zone Domains are identified as ZHST in the left pane.
For example, using the example configuration shown in the preceding figure, you would see that the right pane is already populated with the two Database Zone Domains (etc14m7iozadm0101.us.oracle.com and etc14m7iozadm0201.us.oracle.com).
This figure shows an example of a new cluster, where these components are assigned to the cluster:
The two Database Zone Domains
All three storage servers
