After exposing PowerStore volumes to metro node, log in to Unisphere for metro node-Metro and begin the process of configuring and provisioning metro node storage. The configuration and provisioning method shown in this section describes a process to configure a highly available metro node Metro configuration to protect a Oracle RAC Standalone Cluster from failure of a PowerStore array or from failure of an entire site.
For a metro node Metro configuration, the recommended provisioning process involves the following steps.
Note: This process assumes the PowerStore arrays have been configured for metro node. Configuring PowerStore arrays for metro node is out of scope for this document.
Each step of the process depends on the successful completion of the previous step. The remainder of this section covers provisioning steps 2 through 8 inclusively in more detail.
