How to Register and Configure the Oracle ASM Resource Group

Language:

Use this procedure to register and configure the Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) resource group. Perform all steps from one node of the global cluster.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the framework resource groups are created. See How to Register and Configure the Framework Resource Groups.
If you use Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster, ensure that the scalable device–group resource group is created. See How to Register and Configure the Scalable Device-Group Resource Group.

Assume the root role or become an administrator that provides solaris.cluster.admin and solaris.cluster.modify authorizations.
Register the Oracle ASM resource types for the data service.
1. Register the scalable Oracle ASM instance proxy resource type.
```
# clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy
```
2. Register the Oracle ASM disk-group resource type.
```
# clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy
```
Create resource groups asm-inst-rg and asm-dg-rg.
```
# clresourcegroup create -S asm-inst-rg asm-dg-rg
```
asm-inst-rg

Specifies the name of the Oracle ASM instance resource group.

asm-dg-rg

Specifies the name of the Oracle ASM disk-group resource group.

Set a strong positive affinity on rac-fmwk-rg by asm-inst-rg.

# clresourcegroup set -p rg_affinities=++rac-fmwk-rg asm-inst-rg

Set a strong positive affinity by asm-dg-rg.
- If you are using hardware RAID, set the affinity on asm-inst-rg
```
# clresourcegroup set -p rg_affinities=++asm-inst-rg asm-dg-rg
```
- If you are using Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster, set the affinity on scal-dg-rg and asm-inst-rg.
```
# clresourcegroup set -p rg_affinities=++asm-inst-rg,++scal-dg-rg asm-dg-rg
```

Create a SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy resource and set the resource dependencies.
```
# clresource create -g asm-inst-rg \
-t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy \
-p ORACLE_HOME=Grid_home \
-p CRS_HOME=Grid_home \
-p "ORACLE_SID{node1}"=+ASM1 \
-p "ORACLE_SID{node2}"=+ASM2 \
-p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=crs-fmwk-rs \
-d asm-inst-rs
```
–t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy

Specifies the type of the resource to add.

–p ORACLE_HOME=Grid_home

Sets the path to the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory, where Oracle ASM is installed.

–p CRS_HOME=Grid_home

Sets the path to the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory, where Oracle Clusterware is installed.

–p ORACLE_SID=+ASMn

Sets the Oracle ASM system identifier.

–d asm-inst-rs

Specifies the name of the Oracle ASM instance resource that you create.
Bring online the asm-inst-rg resource group in a managed state on a cluster node.
```
# clresourcegroup online -eM asm-inst-rg
```

Add an Oracle ASM disk-group resource to the asm-dg-rg resource group.

For hardware RAID, use the following command:

# clresource create -g asm-dg-rg \
-t SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy \
-p asm_diskgroups=dg[,dg…] \
-p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=asm-inst-rs \
-d asm-dg-rs

For Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster, use the following command:

# clresource create -g asm-dg-rg \
-t SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy \
-p asm_diskgroups=dg[,dg…] \
-p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=asm-inst-rs,scal-dg-rs \
-d asm-dg-rs

Bring online the asm-dg-rg resource group in a managed state on a cluster node.
```
# clresourcegroup online -eM asm-dg-rg
```

For a zone cluster, from the global zone of one node, create a SUNW.wait_zc_boot resource group.

If the Oracle ACFS file system will not be used by a zone cluster, omit this step.

# clresourcetype register SUNW.wait_zc_boot
# clresourcegroup create -S scal-wait-zc-rg
# clresource create -g scal-wait-zc-rg \
-t SUNW.wait_zc_boot \
-p zcname=zonecluster \
wait-zc-rs
# clresourcegroup online -eM scal-wait-zc-rg
