SCSI-LOCK uses SAN protocol which is called SCSI-3 PR(Persistent Reservation).
This is needed to prevent any data corruption which enable only one node can access a disk volume in environment where disk volumes are shared between nodes.
Shared disk DR
The disk shared between the two nodes of MCCS is copied to a remote server, so that data can be safely protected from disasters.
A remote server has no MCCS installed in it. Thus, you need to establish an additional service recovery plan.
VxVM disk group
It is used to manage a disk group of Veritas Windows Volume Manager.
The sub volumes of a disk group are not individually managed.
Oracle database
This resource controls the Oracle database.
It detects the Oracle database installed on the system, controls the service and monitors the status.
Resource Group
Resource group is a set of resources with dependency and MCCS failover the entire resources in a group.
For example, to manage the ORACLE service by MCCS, IP address that is connected by client, network interface card, disks which database is stored, ORACLE listener and server service must be enclosed by a unit which is called as Group.
Group should be configured as IP address dependent on network interface card, ORACLE server dependent on disk where database is stored, ORACLE listener dependent on ORACLE server to provide proper service.
IP address cannot be assigned without network interface card, process related to ORACLE can be bring online after disk completed online. If there is more than a group defined on a cluster, one group will failover without affecting the other groups.
There are two types, parallel and failover group, according to the service.
Please refer to "5. Resource Group of MCCS User Guide" for more details about parallel and failover group.
