Creating the Global Service Group

Configure the Oracle service group, appgroup, as a global group by running the Global Group Configuration wizard.

  To create the global service group

1. From Cluster Explorer, click Configure Global Groups on the Edit menu.
2. Review the information required for the Global Group Configuration Wizard and click Next.
3. Enter the details of the service group to modify (appgroup):
   1. Click the name of the service group.
   2. From the Available Clusters box, click the clusters on which the group can come online. The local cluster is not listed as it is implicitly defined to be part of the ClusterList. Click the right arrow to move the cluster name to the ClusterList box.
   3. Select the policy for cluster failover:
   • Manual prevents a group from automatically failing over to another cluster.
   • Auto enables a group to automatically fail over to another cluster if it is unable to fail over within the cluster, or if the entire cluster faults.
   • Connected enables a group to automatically fail over to another cluster if it is unable to fail over within the cluster.
   4. Click Next.
4. Enter or review the connection details for each cluster:
   1. Click the Configure icon to review the remote cluster information for each cluster.
   2. Enter the IP address of the remote cluster, the IP address of a cluster system, or the host name of a cluster system.
   3. Enter the user name and the password for the remote cluster.
   4. Click OK.
   5. Click Next.
5. Click Finish.
6. Save the configuration.

   The appgroup service group is now a global group and can be failed over between clusters.
