HP Serviceguard Toolkits for Database Replication Solutions Configuring Oracle Data Guard toolkit

Table 5 Package attributes (continued)

Variable Name	Description
START_STANDBY_AS_PRIMARY	This parameter specifies whether the standby database
	must be started as the primary database or not. It has to
	be set to [yes] in the recovery package of the
	Continentalclusters' recovery group. When primary
	package goes down, the user must run the command
	cmrecovercl to bring up the recovery package on the
	recovery cluster. The recovery package executes the failover
	commands and starts the new primary database (which
	was originally the standby database before recovery
	package startup).
	NOTE: The toolkit displays a warning message during
	package validation (In package apply cmapplyconf -P
	and package check cmacheckconf -Pwhen this
	parameter is set to [yes], stating that the parameter must
	be used only in the recovery package of the
	Continentalclusters environment. The toolkit thus alerts the
	user to change its value to [no] if it is not a recovery
	package.
ALERT_MAIL_ID	This parameter is used to specify the email address for
	sending alerts.

NOTE:

•The other parameters required by the ODG toolkit are sourced from ECMT Oracle/SGeRAC toolkit module.

•While using ECMT Oracle/SGeRAC toolkit module with ODG toolkit module, the package configuration parameter START_MODE must always be set to [mount].

Configuring Oracle Data Guard toolkit

To create the logical volume infrastructure on shared disks, follow the instructions in the chapter Building an HA Cluster Configuration in the manual Managing HP Serviceguard. The disk must be available to all clustered nodes that are configured to run the ODG toolkit. Create file systems on all logical volumes on the volume groups.

The ODG toolkit can be configured in one of the following methods:

•Install directory method: Scripts remain in the installation directory.

•Configuration directory method: You must copy the scripts from the installation directory (including contents of subdirectories) to the configuration directory and define this location in the parameter TKIT_DIR in the package configuration file. You can modify the scripts in the configuration directory to add any specific requirements. Serviceguard first attempts to use the hadg.sh (or hadg_rac.sh) script in the configuration directory. If the script is not found in the configuration directory, it takes it from the installation directory.
