Figure 4 Sample Oracle RAC instances in a Continentalclusters environment after failover
The Oracle RAC workloads can also be deployed in Continentalclusters using Site Aware Disaster Tolerant Architecture (SADTA). For more information on using SADTA for deploying Oracle RAC Workloads in Continentalclusters, see “Configuring Oracle RAC database with ASM in Continentalclusters using SADTA” (page 136).
Configuring the environment for Continentalclusters to support Oracle RAC
In order to enable Continentalclusters support for Oracle RAC, there must be a set of configurations, which include either Continuous Access P9000 and XP, or Continuous Access EVA, Oracle RAC, and Continentalclusters.
To support this feature, Continentalclusters must be configured with an environment that has physical replication set up using HP StorageWorks Continuous Access P9000 and XP, HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA or EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF) using an SLVM or Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) or Cluster File System (CFS) for volume management. For more information on specific Oracle RAC configurations that are supported, see Table 10 (page 126).
For complete installation and configuration information of Oracle and HP StorageWorks products, see the Oracle RAC and HP StorageWorks manuals.
Table 10 (page 126) provides configuration information for RAC support of Continentalclusters.
