Configuring the Agent Using Cluster Manager (Java Console)

A template for the Oracle resource groups is automatically installed when you install the Oracle enterprise agent. Using the VCS Cluster Manager, you can view the template, which displays the Oracle service group, its resources and their attributes. You can dynamically modify the attribute values as necessary for your configuration.

To use the Oracle template, import the OracleTypes.cf file to the VCS engine by using Cluster Manager. See Importing the OracleTypes.cf File for instructions.

Creating a New Service Group

1. Make sure the Oracle type definition file OracleTypes.cf is imported in your configuration.
2. Launch the Cluster Configuration wizard using any of the following two ways:
   • From the Cluster Explorer menu, select Tools>Configuration Wizard.
   • If no service groups exist on the system, Cluster Explorer prompts you to launch the Cluster Configuration wizard. Click Yes when prompted.

   The Loading Templates Information window appears, and launches the wizard.

3. Read the information on the Welcome screen and click Next.
4. Specify the name of the service group and the target systems on which it is to be configured.
   1. Enter the name of the service group.
   2. On the Available Systems box, select the systems on which to configure the service group.
   3. Click the right arrow to move the selected systems to the Systems for Service Group box. To remove a system from the box, select the system and click the left arrow.
   4. Indicate the order in which the systems will fail over (priority). System priority is numbered sequentially, with 1 denoting the system that starts first following a failover.
   5. Click Next.
5. On the Would you like to use a template to configure the service group? dialog box, click Next.
6. On the Select a template to configure the service group dialog box, select the OracleGroup template on which to base the service group.

   If applicable, a window opens notifying you that names of some resources within the new service group are already in use. This window also includes a list of alternative names. You can select an alternative name, or modify the name. Click Next after resolving the name clashes.

7. Click Next to create the service group based on the selected template. A window opens indicating that commands are being sent to add the group, its resources, and the attributes and dependencies specified in the template. A progress indicator displays the percentage of the commands fired. The actual commands are displayed at the top of the indicator.
8. Click Next when prompted that the service group has been successfully created.
9. A window opens listing the service group's resources and their associated attributes. Click Finish to accept the default values and complete the configuration. You can modify the default values of the resources according to your specific configuration requirements, as instructed in the following section.
