•Ensure that the AUTO_RUN flag is set to NO.

•Edit the array specific parameters. For configuring these parameters, see the following sections based on the type of the array used in your environment.

When using Continuous Access P9000 or XP, see “Configuring primary and recovery packages as modular packages when using Continuous Access P9000 or XP” (page 67).

When using Continuous Access EVA, see “Configuring primary and recovery packages as modular packages when using Continuous Access EVA” (page 69).

When using EMC SRDF, see “Configuring primary and recovery packages as modular packages when using EMC SRDF” (page 71).

3.Apply the Site Controller Package configuration file in the cluster.

# cmapplyconf -P cw_sc.config

IMPORTANT: Ensure there are no packages configured with the critical_package or managed_package attributes in the Site Controller Package configuration file. These attributes must be configured only after configuring the Site Safety Latch dependencies. For information on configuring these dependencies, see “Configuring the Site Safety Latch Dependencies” (page 379).

Configuring Oracle RAC Database with ASM in a Site Aware Disaster Tolerant Architecture

Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is a feature in Oracle Database10g and 11g that provides the database administrator with a simple storage management interface that is consistent across all server and storage platforms. In Continentalcluster, Oracle RAC with ASM can be configured using the SADTA.

Figure 26 (page 143) illustrates two Oracle RAC databases with ASM that is configured in a Continentalclusters with SADTA. Each database workload (active and passive) has its own Site Controller Package and Site Safety Latch. The arrows in the figure indicate the package dependencies. Figure 7-6 Sample Oracle RAC Database with ASM in SADTA The Oracle Clusterware software must be installed at each cluster in the Continentalclusters.
