Oracle-HA in a local zone Cluster 3.2

Assume you have two nodes (node-a and node-b), on each node you configure a non-global zone (zone-a).

You need to consider two things:

1) When you create the RG for oracle (oracle-rg), you specify the Nodelist with the new notation, e.g.

# clrg create -n node-a:zone-a,node-b:zone-a oracle-rg

2) SUNW.HAStoragePlus has also a new notation to be able to manage file systems to be mounted within the global zone and to be lofs mounted within the non-global zone. Its also possible to use a different mountpoint namespace within the global and the non-global zone.

For details read the SUNW.HAStoragePlus manpage and look for the FilesystemMountPoints property explanation.

Otherwise you just follow the standard procedure described within the HA Oracle guide, available at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2980 .

You can not dedicate the whole diskset to a zone.

But you can use individual file systems. The file system will be mounted in the global zone and then a lofs mount will happen to the non-global zone.

For details really read the SUNW.HAStoragePlus(5) man page:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3055/6n5a6lhqi?a=view

specially the section for FilesystemMountPoints.

Without seeing the explicit failure message, I can only speculate:

Did you create an entry in the /etc/vfstab within the global zone?

Did the mointpoint exist - both in the global and non-global zone?
