Running multiple Oracle resource groups in a two node cluster

    Hi,

    Can anyone point me to documentation on configuring a two node Oracle PowerHA cluster running multiple resource groups?

    I'm experienced in PowerHA but I have not built a cluster with the multiple resource group/Oracle combination. I've built multiple resource group PowerHA clusters but not running Oracle. Any pointers to help smooth the way would be appreciated.

    We need to run multiple Oracle DBs as separate resource groups so the DBs can independently fail between nodes.

    Tim.

To some degree it may be a bit app specific, but the big things to know to accomplish this is, the app instance specific resources (appserver,filesystems/vgs, and IP)all need to be separate from each other. Then simply assign those to separate rgs.

    Yes this is possible by defining 2 resource groups, but there is a fix required to be install in PowerHA 5.5 to handle multiple listners, We have this Scenario configured using HACMP smart assist for Oracle and running with no issues.
