I'm going through a tutorial on Oracle FailSafe and clustering and I've
noticed a couple of things that have me confused.
1.) I have 1 group currently (testing purposes) called "Cluster Group"
that contains the Cluster IP Address, Cluster Name, Oracle Services for
MSCS, quorum disk, and physical disks. Apparently I CANNOT add a
database to this group (it appears to be disallowed)?
So, I add another group which will allow me to add a database. However,
this new group needs a virtual host name and ip address. So it appears
that I need 1 virtual address for the cluster itself, and another
virtual address for any other group? How do I add useable virtual
hosts/addresses? I assume this is done at the DNS server level? Or can
I do this throught the Microsoft Cluster Administrator by selecting
"Configure Application" -> "Create a new virtual server"?
2.) Since each new group needs a virtual address (and not the cluster
address itself), we'll have to use any new virtual addresses in our
tnsnames files (instead of the cluster address)? Does that sound right?
