Creating an Oracle Grid Infrastructure Framework Resource

Language:

The Oracle Grid Infrastructure framework resource is a resource of the type SUNW.crs_framework. This resource is created within the Support for 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.

Note - When the Oracle Grid Infrastructure framework resource is created in an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration, it disables the automatic startup of Oracle Clusterware itself. The removal of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure framework resource does not by itself re-enable automatic startup of Oracle Grid Infrastructure. To re-enable automatic startup of Oracle Grid Infrastructure, see the Oracle Grid Infrastructure documentation for your release of Oracle Grid Infrastructure software.

How to Create an Oracle Grid Infrastructure Framework Resource

Note - You can also use the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager browser interface to perform this task, in addition to configuring the Oracle RAC framework resource group and an Oracle ASM resource. For Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager log-in instructions, see How to Access Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 System Administration Guide . After you log in, click Tasks and then click Oracle Real Application Clusters to start the wizard.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

The Support for Oracle RAC framework is created and is online. See Registering and Configuring the Support for Oracle RAC Framework Resource Group.
Storage resources for Oracle Database files are configured. See Registering and Configuring Storage Resources for Oracle Database Files.
The Support for Oracle RAC software is installed. See Installing Oracle RAC Software.
The installation of the Support for 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

On one node of the cluster, assume the root role.

Start the clsetup utility.
```
# clsetup
```
The clsetup main menu is displayed.

Choose the menu item, Data Services.
The Data Services menu is displayed.

Choose the menu item, Oracle Real Application Clusters.
The clsetup utility displays information about Support for Oracle RAC.

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.
Choose the menu item, Support for Oracle RAC Create Configuration.
The clsetup utility prompts you to select the Support for Oracle RAC cluster location. This location can be the global cluster or a zone cluster.
Type the option number for the location of the Support for Oracle RAC cluster.
- If you select the global cluster option, the clsetup utility displays the list of components of Support for 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 the next step.

Type the option number for the required zone cluster.
The clsetup utility displays the list of components of Support for Oracle RAC to configure.

Choose the menu item, Oracle Clusterware Framework Resource.
The clsetup utility displays the list of prerequisites for performing this task.
Verify that the prerequisites are met.
The clsetup utility displays a list of Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directories that exist on the cluster.
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.
- If the directory is not listed, type the full path to the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home directory.
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.
  The clsetup utility displays a list of Oracle Database home directories that exist on the cluster.
- If a desired name is not listed, specify the name explicitly:
  1. Type e.
    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.
    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.
The clsetup utility displays the names of the Oracle Solaris Cluster objects that the utility will create.
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.
  The clsetup utility displays a screen where you can specify the new name.
2. At the New Value prompt, type the new name.
The clsetup utility returns you to the list of the names of the Oracle Solaris Cluster objects that the utility will create.
Confirm your selection of Oracle Solaris Cluster object names.
The clsetup utility displays information about the Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration that the utility will create.
To create the configuration, type c.
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.
Press Return to continue.
The clsetup utility returns you to the list of options for configuring Support for Oracle RAC.
(Optional) Type q and press Return repeatedly until you quit the clsetup utility.
