Use this procedure to prepare for the installation and configuration of Oracle Database software.
The following steps prepare your cluster nodes and install the Oracle Database software.
If a cluster file system that is configured using raw devices contains the databases, configure the global devices for raw device access. See the Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 Software Installation Guide for information about how to configure global devices.
If you use the Solaris Volume Manager software, configure the Oracle Database software to use UNIX file system (UFS) logging on mirrored metadevices or raw-mirrored metadevices. See the Solaris Volume Manager documentation for more information about how to configure raw-mirrored metadevices.
If you use an Oracle Solaris ZFS file system for Oracle Database files, configure a highly available local ZFS file system. For more information, see How to Set Up the HAStoragePlus Resource Type to Make a Local ZFS File System Highly Available in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 Data Services Planning and Administration Guide.
If you use NFS shares from an Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance NAS device, configure the NAS device with fencing support and the appropriate mount options. See Requirements When Configuring Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance NAS Devices for the Oracle RAC or HA for Oracle Database Data Service in Oracle Solaris Cluster With Network-Attached Storage Device Manual.
For additional information about file systems in a zone cluster, see Adding File Systems to a Zone Cluster in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 Software Installation Guide.
You might need to reboot the cluster to initiate certain parameter changes. For information about tuning Oracle Solaris kernel parameters, see Chapter 3, Oracle Solaris ZFS Tunable Parameters in Oracle Solaris 11.3 Tunable Parameters Reference Manual.
For information about shared memory requirements, see the Oracle Database installation guide corresponding to the Oracle Database version you are using for information about configuring kernel parameters in Oracle Solaris software.
The limitpriv property is required.
# clzonecluster configure zcname clzonecluster:zcname>set limitpriv="default,proc_priocntl,proc_clock_highres" clzonecluster:zcname>commit
# svccfg -s svc:/network/ntp:default listprop config/slew_always config/slew_always boolean true
If the property is not set to true, use the following commands to set it.
# svccfg -s svc:/network/ntp:default setprop config/slew_always = true # svcadm refresh svc:/network/ntp:default
# touch /etc/inet/ntp.conf
