Re: 10g RAC with Veritas SF

Alex,

10g CRS/RAC installation on SFRAC has some additional pre/post install steps. Basically the we use the skgxn interface
(OSD layer) to detect the node failure and with the presence of Veritas SF, CRS will rely on Veritas SF to determine the failure of the other node.  This is done by copying (or linking) the veritas shared libraries with Oracle. 

I won't be surprised if I don't see any hits on Metalink, but you may be able to find the information from VEritas Support or SFRAC documentation. It should be fairly simple and straight forward. Just to have an understanding of the steps, check this veritas note. http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/273452.htm

Please be noted, when there is a problem with Installation/Node evictions you may not be able to raise an SR with Oracle or file a bug unless you can reproduce the same behaviour with the absence of SFRAC.

Good Luck !

 
Have a nice day !!

Subject: 10g RAC with Veritas SF

Hi

I have to perform a Oracle 10.2.0.2 RAC Installation on Sun Solaris 10, Veritas Storage Foundation for RAC v5.0 will be used and will be installed by some Veritas guy. 

I havent got previous experience with Veritas SF + RAC combination, in 10g I have used only Oracle Clusterware. I wonder how different will this be? What should I tell the Veritas guy about the cluster configurations I need? At Metalink there is no document about 10g, there is one when 9i was released which I am reading it right now. 

TiA!

Alex
