VCS - Resources Not Probed

[Juki]

Hello people,

I'm a newbie to this list.

I have 2 nodes (xgw1 and xgw2) running Soalris 10 and in cluster mode.  My problem is I have a resource that can't be brought online because it has not been probed on either system (node).  I probed the resource both from the command line and VCS GUI and it seemed to go well until I tried to bring it online thereafter. I keep getting the error;

VCS WARNING V-16-1-10283 Resource has not been probed on system xgw2


Just a run down of the commands I have executed this far and also some important info;


bash-3.00# hastatus -sum

In the main.cf file, I have the following description for the Oracle1 resource group;


group Oracle1 (
        SystemList = { xgw1 = 2, xgw2 = 1 }
        AutoStartList = { xgw2, xgw1 }
        )

        DiskGroup Oracle1_DG (
                DiskGroup = ora1dg
                )

        IPMultiNIC Oracle1_IP (
                Address = "10.151.29.76"
                NetMask = "255.255.252.0"
                MultiNICResName = MultiNICA
                IfconfigTwice = 1
                )

        Mount Oracle1_Mount (
                MountPoint = "/var/opt/mediation/ora"
                BlockDevice = "/dev/vx/dsk/ora1dg/vol01"
                FSType = vxfs
                FsckOpt = "-y"
                )

        ORACLE bgw (
        )

        Proxy Oracle1_NIC_PROXY (
                TargetResName = MultiNICA
                )

        Oracle1_IP requires Oracle1_NIC_PROXY
        Oracle1_Mount requires Oracle1_DG
        Oracle1_Mount requires Oracle1_IP
        bgw requires Oracle1_Mount


So, I can't seem to get the bgw resource online and this is affecting connections to and from the Oracle database. 

May someone please point me in the right direction towards resolving this issue?


Thanks,
Juki

Are you using the Veritas Cluster Server Agent for Oracle (pkg VRTSvcsor) or is this your own custom agent?

If using the VCS agent type, from memory the type name is Oracle not ORACLE; also ensure the OracleTypes.cf has been included in main.cf

Additionally, the configuration provided above is blank / there are no attributes defined (again assuming the VCS agent is being used) - the minimum required attributes are Sid, Owner, Home - without these VCS would not be able to probe the resource even if the type name was correct.

Suggest looking at the Cluster Server Agent Guide for more details/steps to install/configure this correctly:

Veritas Cluster Server Agent for Oracle

(or html - http://sfdoccentral.symantec.com/sf/5.0MP3/solaris/html/vcs_oracle_install/index.html )

The following in particular may be helpful/useful with verifying the configuration (links are all from html version above):
