Add Quorum Disks to Database Zones (Non-Global Zones)

Language:

The example in this section creates quorum disks for a small rack configuration with two database zones: zone01 and zone02.

For non-global zones (zones within a dedicated Database Domain or Database I/O Domain), additional parameters are needed when you run the quorumdiskmgr tool, even though the quorum devices are managed from the global zone. Specify the non-global zone that will be affected to the quorumdiskmgr tool using the parameter --zone-name. Also, you will run the steps in the procedure in this section as the root user on the global zone (the Database Domain hosting the zones).

To create the quorum disks:

Verify that your SuperCluster system fulfills the proper software requirements and that you have set up the public key authentication for the ZFS storage controllers, if necessary.
See Software Requirements for Quorum Disk Manager and Set Up Public Key Authentication for ZFS Storage Controllers for more information.
Get the necessary IP address information for each non-global zone.
- On the first non-global zone, enter the following command:
```
zone01# ipadm show-addr bondib0
```
  Output similar to the following appears - note the IP address provided in the ADDR column (in this case, 192.168.10.1):
```
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
bondib0/v4        static   ok           192.168.10.1/22  
```
- On the second non-global zone, enter the following command:
```
zone02# ipadm show-addr bondib0
```
  Output similar to the following appears - note the IP address provided in the ADDR column (in this case, 192.168.10.2):
```
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
bondib0/v4        static   ok           192.168.10.2/22   
```
Log into the global zone (the Database Domain hosting the zone) as a root user.
On the global zone, create the quorum disk configuration for the first non-global zone:
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --config --owner=oracle --group=grid --network-iface-list="bondib0" --zone-name=zone01
```
Where zone01 is the name of the first non-global zone.
On the global zone, create the quorum disk configuration for the second non-global zone:
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --config --owner=oracle --group=grid --network-iface-list="bondib0" --zone-name=zone02
```
Where zone02 is the name of the second non-global zone.
Verify that the configurations have been successfully created on the first and second non-global zones.
1. Enter the following command on the non-global zone zone01:
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --list --config --zone-name=zone01
```
2. Enter the same command on the non-global zone zone02:
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --list --config --zone-name=zone02 
```
Output similar to the following appears for both non-global zones zone01 and zone02:
```
Owner: oracle
Group: dba
ifaces: bondib0,bondib1

[SUCCESS ] Successfully list quorumdisk config file
```

On the global zone, create a target for the first non-global zone:

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --target --asm-disk-group=datac1 –-visible-to="zone01_IP_address, zone02_IP_address" --zone-name=zone01

For example:

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --target --asm-disk-group=datac1 –-visible-to="192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2" --zone-name=zone01

On the global zone, create a target for the second non-global zone:

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --target --asm-disk-group=datac1 –-visible-to="zone01_IP_address, zone02_IP_address" --zone-name=zone02

For example:

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --target --asm-disk-group=datac1 –-visible-to="192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2" --zone-name=zone02

Verify the target has been successfully created on the first and second non-global zones.

Enter the following command on the first non-global zone (zone01):

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --list --target --zone-name=zone01

On the first non-global zone, output similar to the following appears:

Enter the same command on the second non-global zone (zone02):

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --list --target --zone-name=zone02

On the second non-global zone, output similar to the following appears:

Name: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:080a9aa9-3c1a-cd96-b80e-a812ce744111

On the global zone, create devices for the first non-global zone:

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --device --target-ip-list="zone01_IP_address, zone02_IP_address" --zone-name=zone01

For example:

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --device --target-ip-list="192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2" --zone-name=zone01

On the global zone, create devices for the second non-global zone:

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --device --target-ip-list="zone01_IP_address, zone02_IP_address" --zone-name=zone02

For example:

/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --create --device --target-ip-list="192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2" --zone-name=zone02

Verify the devices have been successfully created on the first and second non-global zones.

Enter the following command on the first non-global zone (zone01):
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --list --device --zone-name=zone01
```
Enter the same command on the second non-global zone (zone02):
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --list --device --zone-name=zone02
```

Output similar to the following appears on both zone01 and zone02:

Device path: /dev/exadata_quorum/QD_DATAC1_ZONE01
Size: 128 MB
Host name: ZONE01
ASM disk group name: DATAC1

Device path: /dev/exadata_quorum/QD_DATAC1_ZONE02
Size: 128 MB
Host name: ZONE02
ASM disk group name: DATAC1
