How does the oracle agent work under VCS 5.1SP1RP1

[sidewinder]

I'm currently running Oracle in Solaris zones in a clustered environment, however it seems that the agent may not be zone aware. All I'm trying to do  implement is simple process monitoring for Oracle however it seems that the agent can't find dbhome and so fails and  faults the resource.

Just in case you're wondering dbhome is a binary which is run in the ORAENV to determine the oracle home and SID etc.

Has anyone configured this under VCS 5.1SP1RP1 on the solaris 10 platform and if so how did you get this work or is this a bug?

TIA

Hello ,

can you paste the main.cf file for the cluster.... its not that agent is not zone aware, agent has optional attribute called "containerinfo" ... the value of attribute RunInContainer (RIC) should be set to 1

see below:

Oracle agent is zone aware and I have configured in 5.1 (no SP or RP) and it works fine.  The RunInContainer is set by default, (this is set as part of the ContainerOpts array resource attrbribute), but you have to make sure you have set ContainerInfo Service group attribute for the resources in the SG to run in the local zone - this is an array and should be set to:

Name=container_name

Type=Zone

Enabled =1
