Hi

As long as they are raw devices and you have presented LUNs to both servers
the can be seen from both nodes.

Nothing to do with Sun Cluster Setup, nothing to do with fancy vg* commands
and your third option is totally out of topic!

Btw why you are always spamming with same mail? :-)



Thanks

 Folks



How are the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) & Voting Disk (VD) device files
to be Made Concurrently VISIBLE / Shareable to BOTH Database (Solaris 10)
Nodes?

Five RAW devices (2 OCR & 3 VD) of 200MB each were created only on the
Node 1(Master node).



Aim is to setup a 2 Node ASM RAC.



Qs To make the OCR / VD devices visible to the Other / 2nd Node which of
the following 3 Options is applicable:-

   1. Solaris/SUN Cluster Setup needed on BOTH Nodes
   2. Issue of some Solaris Commands (On HP-UX vgexport, vgimport
   commands are used to export & import the respective raw devices from the 1
   st node to the 2nd.)
   3. CRS setup automatically make the OCR / VD devices created only on
   the 1st (Master) Node visible to the 2nd Node without need for any
   additional O.S. Commands



NOTE – The Storage Box is connected to BOTH the Nodes thru a Switch.

NOTE – External Redundancy to be used for ASM DB Setup.



Cheers & Thanks



Vivek



P.S.



Configuration:-

Solaris 10

Oracle 10gR2



Following commands used for creation of OCR / VD device files only on the
*1st (master) Node*:-



Step 1 - Command for creating the Raw Devices



dd if=/dev/zero of=/asmdata/voting/asm_vote1 bs=1k count=200000

O/P

200000+0 records in

200000+0 records out



Step 2 – Command for creating loop devices so that a character device can
be associated with a file



lofiadm -a /asmdata/voting/asm_vote1

O/P: /dev/lofi/1



Step 3 - Command for creating the respective character file to access the
file

mknod /asmdata/voting/vdiskvote1 c 147 1
