This section contains the information that you need to plan your HA for Oracle installation and configuration.
![]() | Caution - Your data service configuration might not be supported if you do not adhere to these requirements. |
Use the requirements in this section to plan the installation and configuration of HA for Oracle. These requirements apply to HA for Oracle only. You can also configure HA for Oracle in a zone cluster.
For requirements that apply to all data services, see Configuration Guidelines for Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide.
Oracle Grid Infrastructure software requirements - If you will use Oracle Grid Infrastructure (Oracle ASM and Oracle Clusterware), ensure that the cluster meets Oracle Grid Infrastructure software requirements. See Identifying Software Requirements in Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Oracle Solaris (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24616/presolar.htm#CHDEFJCB).
Oracle application files – These files include Oracle binaries, configuration files, and parameter files. You can install these files either on the local file system, the highly available local file system, or on the cluster file system.
See Configuration Guidelines for Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for the advantages and disadvantages of placing the Oracle binaries on the local file system, highly available local file system, and the cluster file system.
Database related files– These files include the control file, redo logs, and data files. You must install these files on either raw devices or as regular files on the highly available local or cluster file system. Raw devices from Oracle Solaris Cluster device groups are not supported in non-global zones.
Oracle ASM configuration – Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) is a storage option that provides the services of a file system, logical volume manager, and software redundant array of independent disks (RAID) in a platform independent manner. For more information on Oracle ASM, see the Oracle documentation corresponding to the Oracle database version you are using.
Use the questions in this section to plan the installation and configuration of HA for Oracle.
What resource groups will you use for network addresses and application resources and the dependencies between them?
What is the logical hostname for clients that will access the data service?
Where will the system configuration files reside?
See Configuration Guidelines for Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for the advantages and disadvantages of placing the Oracle binaries on the local file system rather than the cluster file system.
Does your database setup require standby instances?
If you use the clsetup utility to register and configure HA for Oracle, some of these questions are answered automatically by the utility.
For information about standby databases, see your Oracle documentation.
Are you planning to use Oracle ASM storage?
For information about standby databases and Oracle ASM storage, see your Oracle documentation.
