Shared storage without RAC: configure Grid Infrastructure « for a Cluster » or « for a Stand-Alone S
Hi,
We're in the process of installing ASM-driven stand-alone database instances.
Clusterware & Database 11.2.0.4 on Linux x86-64.
Those standalone instances are to share a common storage subsystem (i.e. are to share a single ASM disk group that leans on ASM disks presented to all Linux boxes).
Typically, we'd have:
Two Linux boxes. Two Clusterware product installs (one per box). Two Database product installs (one per box).
Two ASM instances with different names (one per box). Two Database instance with different names (one per box).
Four ASM disks. One ASM disk group.
Our question is: should we « configure Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster » (via ${ORACLE_HOME}/crs/config/config.pl), or should we « configure Grid Infrastructure for a Stand-Alone Server » (via ${ORACLE_HOME}/crs/install/roothas.pl) ?
