Planning the storage for OCR and voting disk
Depending on the Oracle RAC version and the type of redundancy you want for the OCR and voting disks, use one of the following storage options:
| External redundancy | Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 and later versions\: |
|---|---|
| - Clustered File System | |
| - ASM disk groups created using CVM raw volumes | |
| See OCR and voting disk storage configuration for external redundancy . | |
| Normal redundancy | Clustered File System |
| See OCR and voting disk storage configuration for normal redundancy . | |
| Note: It is recommended that you configure atleast resource dependency for high availability of the OCR and voting disk resources. |
Review the following notes before you proceed:
-
Set the disk detach policy setting to (
local) with ioship off for OCR and voting disk. -
Configure OCR and voting disk on non-replicated shared storage when you configure global clusters.
-
If you plan to use FSS, configure OCR and voting disk on SAN storage.
