I'm going to build a new database cluster using OPS 8.1.7. I have a question about the OFA standard and rule 10.
It states: OFA 10 If you are using Oracle Parallel Server, select exactly one node N to act as Oracle adminis- trative home for the cluster to house the administrative subtree defined in rule OFA 5. Let h be the Oracle software owner's login home directory on node N. Create a directory named for each in- stance accessing database d within the adump, bdump, cdump, logbook, pfile, and udump direc- tories of N:h/admin/d. On every node n in the cluster except N, mount the remote directory N:h/admin/d as the administrative directory for database d (i.e., as n:h/admin/d). An 2-node example of the udump directory: These directories would exist on node1 (the admin node): /u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb/udump/mydb1 /u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb/udump/mydb2 On node 2 the admin dir would be mounted as node1:/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb /u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb And hence, both instance directories would be accessable to either node This doesn't seem like a reasonable rule from a high-availabliity standpoint. If node1 fails, the admin directory on node2 disappears. Am I missing something? I am contemplating building a separate /u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb on both nodes. Then, on node1 I could mount node2 as node2:/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb /u01/app/oracle/admin2/mydb and then on node2 mount node1's admin dir as node1:/u01/app/oracle/admin/mydb /u01/app/oracle/admin1/mydb I have separate admin trees for high-availablity, but can still reference both conveniently like the following command to list trace files: ls -lrt /u01/app/oracle/admin*/mydb/udump/*.trc What have others done? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Poore, Vincent G INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
