Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Admin directories, OPS, and OFA rule 10
I'm going to build a new database cluster using OPS 8.1.7.
I have a question about the OFA standard and rule 10.
It states:
OFA 10
If you are using Oracle Parallel Server,
select exactly one node N to act as Oracle administrative
home for the cluster to house the
administrative subtree defined in rule OFA 5. Let h
be the Oracle software owner's login home directory
on node N. Create a directory named for each instance
accessing database d within the adump,
bdump, cdump, logbook, pfile, and udump direc-
tories of N:h/admin/d. On every node n in the
cluster except N, mount the remote directory
N:h/admin/d as the administrative directory for
database d (i.e., as n:h/admin/d).
An 2-node example of the udump directory:
These directories would exist on node1 (the admin
node):
/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb/udump/mydb1
/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb/udump/mydb2
On node 2 the admin dir would be mounted as node1:/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb /u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb
And hence, both instance directories would be accessable to either node
This doesn't seem like a reasonable rule from a high-availabliity standpoint. If node1 fails, the admin directory on node2 disappears.
Am I missing something?
I am contemplating building a separate
/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb
on both nodes.
Then, on node1 I could mount node2 as
node2:/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb /u01/app/oracle/admin2/mydb
and then on node2 mount node1's admin dir as node1:/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb /u01/app/oracle/admin1/mydb
I have separate admin trees for high-availablity, but can still reference both conveniently like the following command to list trace files:
ls -lrt /u01/app/oracle/admin*/mydb/udump/*.trc
What have others done?
