About the Author

This article describes how to use Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 5/11 to provide a virtual, multitiered architecture for Oracle Real Application Cluster (Oracle RAC) 11.2.0.2. This is one of three similar articles that explain how to do the same thing but with different versions of the software. This table summarizes them:

Article	RAC Version	Solaris Version	Cluster Version
How to Deploy Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 on Oracle Solaris Zone Clusters	11.2.0.2	10	3.3
How to Deploy Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 on Oracle Solaris Zone Clusters	11.2.0.3	10	3.3
How to Deploy Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 on Oracle Solaris 11 Zone Clusters	11.2.0.3	11	4.0

Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 provides the capability to create high-availability zone clusters. A zone cluster consists of several Oracle Solaris Zones, each of which resides on its own separate server; the zones that comprise the cluster are linked together into a single virtual cluster. Because zone clusters are isolated from each other, they provide increased security. Because the zones are clustered, they provide high availability for the applications they host.

By installing Oracle RAC inside a zone cluster, you can run multiple instances of an Oracle database at the same time. This allows you to have separate database versions or separate deployments of the same database (for example, one for production and one for development). Using this architecture, you can also deploy different parts of your multitiered solution into different virtual zone clusters. For example, you could deploy Oracle RAC and an application server in different zones of the same cluster. This approach allows you to isolate tiers and administrative domains from each other, while taking advantage of the simplified administration provided by Oracle Solaris Cluster.

Note: This document is not a performance best practices guide and it does not cover the following topics:

Prerequisites

Ensure that the following prerequisites have been met.

Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 and Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 5/11 are already installed and configured.

Oracle Solaris 10 kernel parameters are configured in the /etc/system file in the global zone. Examples of the recommended values are as follows:

noexec_user_stack 1 
semsys:seminfo_semmni 100 
semsys:seminfo_semmns 1024 
semsys:seminfo_semmsl  256 
semsys:seminfo_semvmx 32767 
shmsys:shminfo_shmmax 4294967295 
shmsys:shminfo_shmmni 100

Shared disks (also known as /dev/did/rdsk devices) are known. Listing 1 is an example of how to identify a shared disk from the global zone of any cluster node.

phyhost1# cldev status

=== Cluster DID Devices ===

Listing 1. Identifying a Shared Disk

The output shows that the disk is shared by phyhost1, phyhost2, phyhost3, and phyhost4 as device d10. Devices d14, d15, d16, d17, d18, d6, d7, d8, and d9 are also shared.

The following shared disks will be used for the Oracle Automatic Storage Management disk group to store Oracle Cluster Registry and voting files:
```
/dev/did/rdsk/d6s6
/dev/did/rdsk/d7s6
ev/did/rdsk/d8s6
```
In this example, slice 6 is 6 GB. Please check the Oracle Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide for disk size requirements.
The following shared disks will be used for the Oracle Automatic Storage Management disk group to store data files:
```
/dev/did/rdsk/d9s6
/dev/did/rdsk/d10s6
/dev/did/rdsk/d14s6
/dev/did/rdsk/d15s6
```
In this example, slice 6 is 102 GB.
Oracle virtual IP (VIP) and Single Client Access Name (SCAN) IP requirements have been set up, for example:
- vzhost1d, IP address 10.134.35.99, is used for SCAN IP.
- vzhost1e, IP address 10.134.35.100, is used as VIP for vzhost1c.
- vzhost2e, IP address 10.134.35.101, is used as VIP for vzhost2c.
- vzhost3e, IP address 10.134.35.102, is used as VIP for vzhost3c.
- vzhost4e, IP address 10.134.35.103, is used as VIP for vzhost4c.
There is an IPMP group for the public network with one active and one standby interface. Here is an example of the /etc/hostname.e1000g0 and /etc/hostname.e1000g1 settings for an IPMP group called SC_ipmp0 from the global zone:
```
cat /etc/hostname.e1000g0
phyhost1 netmask + broadcast + group sc_ipmp0 up
cat /etc/hostname.e1000g1
group sc_ipmp0 standby up
```

  *** Oracle Solaris Cluster Support for Oracle RAC ***

    Oracle Solaris Cluster provides a support layer for running Oracle 
    Real Application Clusters (RAC) database instances. This option allows
    you to create the Oracle RAC framework resource group, storage resources, 
    database resources and administer them, for managing the Oracle 
    Solaris Cluster support for Oracle RAC.

    After the Oracle RAC framework resource group has been created, you can use 
    the Oracle Solaris Cluster system administration tools to administer a
    Oracle RAC framework resource group that is configured on a global cluster. 
    To administer a Oracle RAC framework resource group that is configured on a 
    zone cluster, instead use the appropriate Oracle Solaris Cluster command.

Include these paths in .bash_profile:

/u01/grid/product/11.2.0.2/bin
/usr/cluster/bin

Create a User and Group for the Oracle Software

To create a user and group for the Oracle software, do the following from each node.

As root, execute the following commands:

# groupadd -g 300 oinstall   
# groupadd -g 301 dba
# useradd -g 300 -G 301 -u 302 -d /u01/ora_home -s /usr/bin/bash ouser  
# mkdir -p /u01/ora_home
# chown ouser:oinstall /u01/ora_home
# mkdir /u01/oracle
# chown ouser:oinstall /u01/oracle
# mkdir /u01/grid
# chown ouser:oinstall /u01/grid
# mkdir /u01/oraInventory
# chown ouser:oinstall /u01/oraInventory

Create a password for the software owner, ouser:

# passwd ouser
New Password:
Re-enter new Password:
passwd: password successfully changed for ouser
bash-3.00#

For the Oracle software owner environment, as the software owner ouser, set up SSH from each node:

$ mkdir .ssh
$ chmod 700 .ssh
$ cd .ssh
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/u01/ora_home/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /u01/ora_home/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /u01/ora_home/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
e6:63:c9:71:fe:d1:8f:71:77:70:97:25:2a:ee:a9:33 local1@vzhost1c
$
$ pwd
/u01/ora_home/.ssh

From the first node, vzhost1c, do the following:

$ cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
$ chmod 600 authorized_keys
$ scp authorized_keys vzhost2c:/u01/ora_home/.ssh

From the second node, vzhost2c, do the following:

$ cd /u01/ora_home/.ssh
$ cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
$ scp authorized_keys vzhost3c:/u01/ora_home/.ssh

From the third node, vzhost3c,do the following:

$ cd /u01/ora_home/.ssh
$ cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
$ scp authorized_keys vzhost4c:/u01/ora_home/.ssh

From the fourth node, vzhost4c, do the following:

$ cd /u01/ora_home/.ssh
$ cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

  Figure 24. Initialization Parameters page

Verify that database was created and is running:

$ /u01/grid/product/11.2.0.2/bin/srvctl status database -d swb
Instance swb1 is running on node vzhost1c
Instance swb2 is running on node vzhost2c
Instance swb3 is running on node vzhost3c
Instance swb4 is running on node vzhost4c

To add the second standby NIC of the IPMP group to Cluster Ready Services, as root from one zone cluster node, run the following command:

$ GRID_HOME/bin/srvctl modify nodeapps -n <hostname> -A <VIP address>/<subnet>/NIC0\|NIC1

For example:

$ srvctl modify nodeapps -n vzhost1c -A  10.134.35.100/255.255.255.0/e1000g0\|e1000g1

Use srvctl config to show that e1000g1 was added:

$ /u01/grid/product/11.2.0.3/bin/srvctl config nodeapps
Network exists: 1/10.134.35.0/255.255.255.0/e1000g0:e1000g1, type static

VIP exists: /vzhost2e/10.134.35.101/10.134.35.0/255.255.255.0/e1000g0:e1000g1, hosting node vzhost2c
VIP exists: /vzhost3e/10.134.35.102/10.134.35.0/255.255.255.0/e1000g0:e1000g1, hosting node vzhost3c
VIP exists: /vzhost4e/10.134.35.103/10.134.35.0/255.255.255.0/e1000g0:e1000g1, hosting node vzhost4c

Create the Oracle Solaris Cluster Resource

Use the following procedure to create the Oracle Solaris Cluster Resource. Alternatively, you can use clsetup.

From one zone cluster node, execute the following command to register the SUNW.crs_framework resource type in the zone cluster:
```
# clrt register SUNW.crs_framework
```

Add an instance of the SUNW.crs_framework resource type to the Oracle RAC framework resource group:

# clresource create -t SUNW.crs_framework \ -g rac-framework-rg \ -p resource_dependencies=rac-framework-rs \ crs-framework-rs

Register the scalable Oracle Automatic Storage Management instance proxy resource type:
```
# clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy
```
Register the Oracle Automatic Storage Management disk group resource type:
```
# clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy
```

Create resource groups asm-inst-rg and asm-dg-rg:

# clresourcegroup create -S asm-inst-rg asm-dg-rg

Set a strong positive affinity on rac-fmwk-rg by asm-inst-rg:

# clresourcegroup set -p rg_affinities=++rac-framework-rg asm-inst-rg

Set a strong positive affinity on asm-inst-rg by asm-dg-rg:

# clresourcegroup set -p rg_affinities=++asm-inst-rg asm-dg-rg

Create a SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy resource and set the resource dependencies:

# clresource create asm-inst-rg \ -t SUNW.scalable_asm_instance_proxy \ -p ORACLE_HOME=/u01/grid/product/11.2.0.2 \ -p CRS_HOME=/u01/grid/product/11.2.0.2 \ -p "ORACLE_SID{vzhost1c}"=+ASM1 \ -p "ORACLE_SID{vzhost2c}"=+ASM2 \ -p "ORACLE_SID{vzhost3c}"=+ASM3 \ -p "ORACLE_SID{vzhost4c}"=+ASM4 \ -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=crs-framework-rs \ -d asm-inst-rs

Add an Oracle Automatic Storage Management disk group resource type to the asm-dg-rg resource group:

# clresource create -g asm-dg-rg -t SUNW.scalable_asm_diskgroup_proxy \ -p asm_diskgroups=CRSDG,SWBDG \ -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=asm-inst-rs \ -d asm-dg-rs

On a cluster node, bring the asm-inst-rg resource group online in a managed state:
```
# clresourcegroup online -eM asm-inst-rg
```
On a cluster node, bring the asm-dg-rg resource group online in a managed state:
```
# clresourcegroup online -eM asm-dg-rg
```

Create a scalable resource group to contain the proxy resource for the Oracle RAC database server.

# clresourcegroup create -S \ -p rg_affinities=++rac-framework-rg,++asm-dg-rg \ rac-swbdb-rg

# clresourcetype register SUNW.scalable_rac_server_proxy

Add a database resource to the resource group:

# clresource create -g rac-swbdb-rg \ -t SUNW.scalable_rac_server_proxy \ -p resource_dependencies=rac-framework-rs \ -p resource_dependencies_offline_restart=crs-framework-rs,asm-dg-rs \ -p oracle_home=/u01/oracle/product/11.2.0.2 \ -p crs_home=/u01/grid/product/11.2.0.2 \ -p db_name=swb \ -p "oracle_sid{vzhost1c}"=swb1 \ -p "oracle_sid{vzhost2c}"=swb2 \ -p "oracle_sid{vzhost3c}"=swb3 \ -p "oracle_sid{vzhost4c}"=swb4 \ -d rac-swb-srvr-proxy-rs

Bring the resource group online:

# clresourcegroup online -emM rac-swbdb-rg

Check the status of the cluster resource, as shown in Listing 19:

# clrs status
