Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Making OCR / VD Visible to BOTH DB Server (SUN) Nodes ... Basic Qs
Folks
How are the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) & Voting Disk (VD) to be Made Concurrently VISIBLE / Shareable to BOTH Database (Solaris 10) Nodes? Same is seemingly needed to initiate the CRS installation for subsequent 2 Node ASM RAC Setup.
Qs Is a Solaris Cluster Setup certainly needed on BOTH Nodes or can the same be achieved thru some commands? Qs On HP-UX vgexport, vgimport commands would be used to export & import the respective raw devices from the 1st node to the 2nd.
NOTE - The Storage Box is connected to BOTH the Nodes thru a Switch. NOTE - External Redundancy to be used for DB Setup.
Cheers & Thanks
Vivek
P.S.
Configuration:-
Solaris 10
Oracle 10gR2
Five RAW devices (2 OCR & 3 VD) 200MB each were created on /asmdata. Following commands used for creation of the same on the 1st Node:-
Step 1 - Command for creating the Raw Devices
dd if=/dev/zero of=/asmdata/voting/asm_vote1 bs=1k count=200000
O/P
200000+0 records in
200000+0 records out
Step 2 - Command for creating loop devices so that a character device can be associated with a file
lofiadm -a /asmdata/voting/asm_vote1
O/P: /dev/lofi/1
Step 3 - Command for creating the respective character file to access the file mknod /asmdata/voting/vdiskvote1 c 147 1
