Re: 10g RAC with Veritas SF

I totally believe that this "reproduce without clusterware"
is a scare tactic. I wonder if anybody has actually been told this.
   
  I have just worked with a big enterprise customer using this configuration
and Oracle actually bends backwards to help them out. They have meetings
with the "VOS" team every month and during all the node evictions they had more 
than a year ago because of incorrect values of css misscounts etc.. they were 
never told to de-install Veritas.
   
  A Monte I also believe you should also check that the oproc daemon is not 
running
since you have Veritas managing the cluster and the css misscount is set to a 
high
value like 900 seconds.

  When I was working with 10gCRS+VCS - we disabled autostart of CRS resources

the approach Oracle was ready to support after somewhat long discussions. 

Regarding support requesting to reproduce the problem without vendor 
clusterware. I didn't experience that but I can believe this might be a dirty 
trick of support.
Just an example - at some point we even got together on the "round table" with 
support from 3 sides - Veritas, HP and Oracle. Of course, that's won't happen 
for regular issues and relatively small customers but big enterprises can get 
enough support if they know where to push.

I installed this week RAC on Veritas SFRAC.

Had a problem though.In preinstallation I forgot to copy SFRAC library! Skiped 
this step

cp /opt/VRTSvcs/rac/lib/libskgxn2_64.so /opt/ORCLcluster/lib/libskgxn2.so 

What is that library for? I made a symbolic link afterwards to 
$ORA_CRS_HOME/lib, is that enough?

Another question is should I make these CRS Resources

NAME=ora.rac1020.db
TYPE=application
TARGET=ONLINE 
STATE=ONLINE on rac1

NAME=ora.rac1020.rac10201.inst
TYPE=application
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on rac1

NAME=ora.rac1020.rac10202.inst
TYPE=application
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=OFFLINE

From TARGET=ONLINE to OFFLINE so when the server reboots CRS wont attempt to 
start them? So Veritas Cluster will do it? I got this information from Metalink 
Note 332257.1, where it says 

    4. Can Oracle Clusterware be configured to not auto-start some Oracle 
resources 

TIA

Alex


at node boot time?
