O.SGeRAC Toolkit Whitepaper Link

HP has published a whitepaper "Use of Serviceguard Extension For RAC Toolkit with Oracle RAC 10g Release 2 or later" that contains the SGeRAC Toolkit background and operation information. This whitepaper is posted on http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs -> Serviceguard Extension for RAC. Please note that this whitepaper has not been updated to include documentation for the new ASMDG MNP.

There is another white paper "Support of Oracle RAC ASM with SGeRAC" that contains details on ASM features and how to configure ASM with SGeRAC. This whitepaper is posted on http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-serviceguard-docs -> Serviceguard Extension for RAC.

Conclusion

Using SGeRAC Toolkit with multi-node packages and simple package dependencies provides a uniform, intuitive, and easy-to-manage method to perform the following:

•Co-ordinate between SGeRAC and Oracle Clusterware

•Manage all the storage options supported by SGeRAC -CFS, SLVM, CVM , ASM over SLVM and ASM over raw device (on HP-UX 11i v3)

Although the concepts of resource dependency and resource aggregation delivered by SGeRAC with the multi-node package and simple package dependency features are present in some form or other in other clusterware products—including Oracle Clusterware—the framework provided by SGeRAC is unique due to the high level of multi-vendor (Oracle, Symantec, HP) and multi-storage platform (CFS, SLVM, CVM, ASM over SLVM, ASM over raw device) integration it offers.
