I can’t afford to take a training class and the docs are heady stuff, your blog would be helpful if it included how to set up the database – does it need to be setup on both nodes etc.

This blog would be, in my opinion a one stop to learn oracle HA on Sun Cluster if it contained how to create the database and how to install Oracle in a cluster environment.

Online docs show how to install it in a non clustered environment but not to how to install it in a clustered environment.

This is an excellent doc explaning clear step by step commands. Would you also document the steps for installing & configuring sun cluster 3.2. The BigAdmin doc is very lenghty to understand for the beginners.

Thanks

Need to make one change….

clresourcetype register SUNW.oracle_HAStoragePlus

Needs to read

clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus

Sun changed the resource in the bundle.
Just got it straight from the horses mouth.

I think you are wrong in the following statement:
“In addition to mounting and unmounting file systems, the HAStoragePlus resource will also monitor the health of the storage.”

I believe that is the plan eventually, but currently all of the monitoring functions are NULL. Check it out here in the source:

It is possible to have two oracle instances configured in the same Sun Cluster?

Can i specify another SID in the oracle resource and another listener in the listener resource?

how it works?

Thnak you in advance

Apache can be configured the exact same way (active-passive) OR can be configured to be active-active->active (on all nodes).

Oracle cannot be active-active without using Oracle’s RAC.

Just FYi stuff. Thanks for the article!

Great post

why in oracleha-rg resource group alert log file in local storage it means that each database instance using the two alert log files it difficult to track the alert log file

advance thanks for replay

Great post.
Thanks for the detailed step to step setup process.

I have refer it to my blog: http://www.rickyzhu.com/2007/11/21/deploy-oracle-on-suncluster/

Great outline of the steps. I have done many active/passive oracle clusters but am doing my first active/active oracle setup. Since both resource groups require a oracle listener, do the port numbers have to be different to avoid conflict when they both run on the same node? Could both resource groups use the same listener? I would not think that would be best since the listener would stop/start on a failover and all the db’s would be impacted.

Thx
