In a Metro configuration that supports a two-node Oracle RAC Standalone Cluster with one RAC node at site A and the other RAC node at site B, set the provisioning context to:
- cluster-1, when discovering and registering HBAs of RAC node 1 at site A and provisioning storage in PowerStore metro node at site A
- cluster-2, when discovering and registering HBAs of RAC node 2 at site B and provisioning storage in PowerStore metro node at site B
- Distributed Storage when configuring and provisioning metro node Metro distributed storage to the two-node Oracle RAC standalone cluster.
To set the metro node context for metro node Metro, login to metro node Unisphere and perform the following steps.
- Click tab Provision Storage.
- Set Provision on to the appropriate cluster or set Provision on to Distributed Storage. This paper uses provisioning context cluster-1 for the metro cluster at site A, cluster-2 for the metro cluster at site B, and Distributed Storage for distributed metro node objects that thread cluster-1 and cluster-2 objects together:
