Planning the HA or Oracle Installation and Confguration

This section contains the inormation that you need to plan your HA or Oracleinstallation and

conguration.

Note Unless otherwise stated, instructions and inormation or Oracle 11gapply to both Oracle

11grelease 1 and Oracle 11grelease 2.

Confguration Requirements

Caution Your data service conguration might not be supported i you do not adhere to these

requirements.

Use the requirements in this section to plan the installation and conguration o HA or Oracle.

These requirements apply to HA or Oracle only. You must meet these requirements beore you

proceed with your HA or Oracle installation and conguration. HA or Oracle can be

congured to run in non-global zones i required. I you are conguring HA or Oracle to run in

a non-global zone, you must use a highly available local le system. You can also congure the

HA or Oracle in a zone cluster.




19/118

Caution Raw devices rom Oracle Solaris Cluster device groups are not supported innon-global zones.

For requirements that apply to all data services, see Conguration Guidelines or OracleSolaris Cluster Data Services in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning andAdministration Guide.

Oracleapplicationfles These les include Oracle binaries, conguration les, andparameter les. You can install these les either on the local le system, the highly available

local le system, or on the cluster le system.See Conguration Guidelines or Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services in Oracle SolarisCluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide or the advantages anddisadvantages o placing the Oracle binaries on the local le system, highly available localle system, and the cluster le system.

Database relatedflesThese les include the control le, redo logs, and data les. Youmust install these les on either raw devices or as regular les on the highly available local orcluster le system. Raw devices rom Oracle Solaris Cluster device groups are not supported

in non-global zones.

OracleASMconfgurationOracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) is astorage option that provides the services o a le system, logical volume manager, andsotware redundant array o independent disks (RAID) in a platorm independent manner.I you are planning to install Oracle ASM, you should choose the appropriate Oracle ASMinstance and disk group or your Oracle database installation. There are two types o OracleASM instances, single Oracle ASM instance and clustered Oracle ASM instance. See

Choosing the Appropriate Oracle ASM Instance on page 99 or inormation on choosingthe appropriate Oracle ASM instance. For more inormation on Oracle ASM, see the Oracledocumentation corresponding to the Oracle database version you are using.


I the single instance Oracle database is installed on a node using an Oracle ASM disk group,

then certain les are not included within the Oracle ASM disk group and they resided onlylocally. You should ensure that these les are copied to the other cluster nodes rom thenode where the single instance Oracle database is created.

I you are using an Oracle 11grelease 1 database, you copy the ollowing directories to othercluster nodes:

${ORACLE_BASE}/diag/rdbms/sid ${ORACLE_BASE}/admin

${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/pfile.ora

20/118

I you are using an Oracle 10gdatabase, you copy the ollowing directories to other clusternodes:

${ORACLE_HOME}/admin

${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/initsid.org

In the ollowing example, you use the /usr/sfw/sbin/wget command rom the targetcluster node to recursively copy the ${ORACLE_HOME}/admin directory in Oracle 10g.

Confguration Planning QuestionsUse the questions in this section to plan the installation and conguration o HA or Oracle.

Write the answers to these questions in the space that is provided on the data service worksheetsin Conguration Worksheets in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning andAdministration Guide.

What resource groups will you use or network addresses and application resources and thedependencies between them?

What is the logical hostname (or ailover services) or shared address (or scalable services)or clients that will access the data service?

Where will the system conguration les reside?

See Conguration Guidelines or Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services in Oracle SolarisCluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide or the advantages anddisadvantages o placing the Oracle binaries on the local le system rather than the clusterle system.

Does your database setup require standby instances?

I you use the clsetup utility to register and congure HA or Oracle, some o these

questions are answered automatically by the utility.For inormation about standby databases, see your Oracle documentation.

Are you planning to use Oracle ASM storage?

I you are planning to use Oracle ASM storage, you should decide i you require singleinstance or clustered instance Oracle ASM. See Choosing the Appropriate Oracle ASMInstance on page 99 or inormation on how to choose the appropriate Oracle ASMinstallation.

For inormation about standby databases, see your Oracle documentation.

I you use the Sun QFS le system, congure the Sun QFS le system or using with Oracle. For

more inormation on conguring the Sun QFS le system, see Using the Sun QFS Shared File

System in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service or Oracle Real Application Clusters Guide.

Prepare the $ORACLE_HOME directory on a local or multihost disk.

Note I you install the Oracle binaries on a local disk, use a separate disk i possible. Installing

the Oracle binaries on a separate disk prevents the binaries rom overwrites during operating

environment reinstallation. When you use Oracle ASM you should create two $ORACLE_HOME

directories, one $ORACLE_HOME directory or the Oracle database and the additional

$ORACLE_HOME directory or Oracle ASM.

On each node or zone, create an entry or the database administrator (DBA) group in the

/etc/group fle, and addpotential users to the group.

You typically name the DBA group dba. Veriy that the oracle users are members o the dba

group, and add entries as necessary or other DBA users. Ensure that the group IDs are the same

on all o the nodes or zones that run HA or Oracle, as the ollowing example illustrates.

dba:*:520:root,oracle

I you use Oracle ASM, you should add an additional entry or the DBA group in the

/etc/group le or Oracle ASM.

dba:*:520:root,oracle,oraasm

You can create group entries in a network name service (or example, NIS or NIS+). I you

create group entries in this way, add your entries to the local /etc/inet/hosts le to eliminate

dependency on the network name service.

On each node or zone, create an entryor the Oracle user ID (oracle).

You typically name the Oracle user ID oracle. The ollowing command updates the

/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow les with an entry or the Oracle user ID.

# useradd -u 120 -g dba -d /Oracle_home oracle

Ensure that the oracle user entry is the sameon all the nodes or zones that run HA or Oracle.

I you use Oracle ASM, you should create an additional Oracle user ID or Oracle ASM.

# useradd -u 121 -g dba -d /asm-home oraasm

I you are using Oracle database 10.2.0.3 or higher, you should perorm the ollowing steps on

each Solaris zone.

How to Confgure an Oracle Grid Inrastructure orClusters SCAN Listener

When the HA or Oracle data service is deployed using Oracle 11grelease 2 Grid Inrastructureor Clusters, the preerred listener or a single-instance database is an Oracle GridInrastructure or Clusters Single Client Access Name (SCAN) listener. To leverage a SCAN inthe HA or Oracle conguration, you must modiy the Oracle 11grelease 2 single-instancedatabase remote_listener parameter to reect the SCAN name and port number.

I you congure a SCAN listener, you can ignore subsequent instructions in this manual aboutcreating an Oracle listener resource with the SUNW.oracle_listener resource type. An Oraclelistener resource is unnecessary when the SCAN listener is congured.

For more inormation about the SCAN, see Oracle Grid Inrastructure Installation Guide 11gRelease 2 (11.2) or Solaris Operating System (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17213/toc.htm).

The ollowing example procedure shows the commands and sample output to congure theSCAN name and port. Perorm this procedure on each node o the cluster.

Become superuser on the node.

Confgure a SCAN listener.

Installing the Oracle ASM SotwareOracle ASM installation consists o installing and creating an Oracle ASM instance and

conguring the required Oracle ASM disk groups. An Oracle ASM disk group is a collection odisk devices to store data les that Oracle ASM instances manage as a unit. Oracle ASMinstances mount disk groups to make Oracle ASM les available to database instances.

You should decide the type o Oracle ASM instance you want to use. You can use Oracle ASMinstance as single instance Oracle ASM or clustered Oracle ASM using Oracle Clusterwareinstances. For inormation on how to choose the appropriate Oracle ASM instance, seeChoosing the Appropriate Oracle ASM Instance on page 99.


I you are using clustered Oracle ASM, you should rst install the Oracle Clusterware sotwareand then install Oracle ASM. I you are using clustered Oracle ASM on SPARC, you should alsoinstall the ORCLudlm package beore installing Oracle ASM.

When you run Oracle Universal Installer, you have the option to congure and install OracleASM and create disk groups. For detailed inormation on installing and conguring OracleASM, see the Oracle documentation corresponding to the Oracle database version you areusing.

When you create the same disk group with Oracle ASM on dierent cluster nodes, you mustcreate the disk group one node at a time and dismount the disk group beore creating the samedisk group on another cluster node.

Tools or Registering and Confguring HA or Oracle

Oracle Solaris Cluster provides the ollowing tools or registering and conguring HA orOracle:

The clsetup(1CL)utility.For more inormation, see How to Register and Congure HAor Oracle (clsetup)onpage38.

Oracle SolarisClusterManager.For more inormation, see the Oracle Solaris ClusterManager online help.

Oracle SolarisClustermaintenance commands.For more inormation, see How toRegister and Congure HA or Oracle Without Oracle ASM (CLI) on page 42.

The clsetup utility and Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager each provide a wizard or conguringHA or Oracle. The wizards reduce the possibility or conguration errors that might resultrom command syntax errors or omissions. These wizards also ensure that all required

resources are created and that all required dependencies between resources are set.

Setting HA or Oracle Extension Properties

Use the extension properties in Appendix A, HA or Oracle Extension Properties, to createyour resources. To set an extension property o a resource, include the option -p

property=value in the clresource(1CL) command that creates or modies the resource. Usethe procedure in Chapter 2, Administering Data Service Resources, in Oracle Solaris ClusterData Services Planning and Administration Guide to congure the extension properties i youhave already created your resources.

You can update some extension properties dynamically. You can update others, however, onlywhen you create or disable a resource. The Tunable entries indicate when you can update eachproperty. See the r_properties(5) man page or details about all Oracle Solaris Cluster

resource properties.

SUNW.oracle_server Extension Properties on page 85 describes the extension propertiesthat you can set or the Oracle server. For the Oracle server, you are required to set only theollowing extension properties:

ORACLE_HOME

ORACLE_SID

Alert_log_file

Connect_string
