srvctl add instance -d hrdb -i hrdb1 -n SJC_1

srvctl add instance -d hrdb -i hrdb2 -n SJC_2

After registering the database with the CRS sub-cluster on the remote site, you can run the srvctl status command to view the health of the database.

Configuring the RAC MNP Stack at the Recovery Cluster

The RAC database must be packaged as Serviceguard MNP packages. You must configure the RAC MNP package to have a dependency on the site Clusterware sub-cluster MNP package. This step creates the RAC MNP stack at the target site that will be configured to be managed by the Site Controller Package. For more information on configuring the RAC database in MNP packages, see the Serviceguard Extension for Oracle RAC toolkit README.

Halting the RAC Database on the Recovery Cluster

You must halt the RAC database on the Target Disk Site so that it can be restarted at the source disk site. Use the cmhaltpkg command to halt the RAC MNP stack on the replication Target Disk Site node. Deport the disk groups at the replication Target Disk Site nodes using the vxdg deport command.

Configuring the Site Controller Package

The Site Controller Package and the Site Safety Latch for the disaster tolerant RAC database are the final two components to be configured. This section describes the procedure to configure the Site Controller Package in a Metrocluster.

Complete the following procedure to configure the Site Controller Package:

1.Create the Site Controller Package directory on all nodes at both sites: mkdir -m 755 /etc/cmcluster/hrdb_sc

2.From any node, create a Site Controller Package configuration file using the dts/sc module: cmmakepkg -m dts/sc /etc/cmcluster/hrdb_sc/hrdb_sc.config

3.Edit the hrdb_sc.config file and specify a name for the package_name attribute: package_name hrdb_sc

4.Edit the hrdb_sc.config file and specify the node_name parameter explicitly. node_name SFO_1

node_name SFO_2 node_name SJC_1 node_name SJC_2

5.Edit the hrdb_sc.config file and specify the directory created in step 1 for the dts/dts/dts_pkg_dir attribute.

dts/dts/dts_pkg_dir /etc/cmcluster/hrdb_sc

6.Specify a name for the log file. It is recommended that this file be located in the dts/dts/ dts_pkg_dir directory.

script_log_file /etc/cmcluster/hrdb_sc/hrdb_sc.log

7.Specify the sites without any packages. Do not specify any critical_package or managed_package.
