RE: Oracle 11g CRS, RAC and ASM on Solaris

Hi Dick,
 
how do you expect to present your disks/luns to ASM?  Are you using
multipathing on the server?  Are there any issues if the path to disk
differs between nodes in the cluster
 
e.g.
 
node 1 /dev/rdsk/c3t3d3s4 ->
                              ASM_DISK1
node 2 /dev/rdsk/c10t3d3s4 ->
 
 
Thanks,
Duncan.

Duncan,

 

            I'm in the middle of planning/implementing a RAC on Solaris
cluster.  The plan is to:

 

1)       use Oracle cluster services instead of other clusterware, less
finger pointing.

2)       ASM is mandatory with RAC, you don't have a choice.

Subject: Oracle 11g CRS, RAC and ASM on Solaris

 

DBAs, 

I am currently reviewing options for Oracle 11 RAC on Solaris 10 and one
of the proposals on the table is: 

- Use CRS as the only clusterware on the box 
- Use ASM for database (clustered) storage 
- Use Veritas VxFS on VxVM for (non-clustered) filesystems. 

Has anyone else had experience with a similar set-up?  If not, what do
you use for RAC on Solaris? 

I have seen SFRAC for cluster and storage on Oracle 10, but it seemed to
disolve into cross-department finger pointing as soon as there was an
issue with the cluster, the network or the storage.  (Also, I understand
it's not certified for 11g yet.)

Your thoughts appreciated. 

Duncan.
