PREFACE:

This README file describes the SGeRAC Toolkit which enables integration of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) with HP Serviceguard Extension for Real Application Clusters (SGeRAC). This document covers the Toolkit file structure, files, configuration parameters and procedures, administration, supported configurations, known problem and workaround, and the support restrictions of this version of Toolkit. A link to a whitepaper on the same topic is also included.

This document assumes that its readers are already familiar with Serviceguard (SG), SGeRAC, and Oracle RAC, including installation and configuration procedures.

This version of SGeRAC Toolkit supports Oracle 10g Release 2, 11g Release 1 and 11g Release 2 versions/revision of RAC only.
