6-16 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O1000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide Adding an RA4000/RA4100 Array You must shut down the PDC/O1000 cluster to add an RA4000/RA4100 Array. The following steps summarize the procedure: 1. Shut down the Oracle instance on each cluster node. 2. Stop the Oracle services running on each node. 3. Shut down Windows 2000 Advanced Server on each node and power off all the cluster nodes. 4. Power off all of the RA4000/RA4100 Arrays in the cluster. 5. Insert drives into the added RA4000/RA4100 Array. 6. Using the Fibre Channel cables, physically connect the RA4000 Array Controller in the added RA4000/RA4100 Array to the Fibre Channel SAN Switch, FC-AL Switch, or Storage Hub. 7. Connect all of the RA4000/RA4100 Arrays to a power source and restart them. 8. Restart the primary cluster node. 9. On the primary node, run the Array Configuration Utility to create drive arrays, configured with RAID, and then create logical drives. 10. Using Disk Management, create an extended partition on each of the logical drives. 11. Using Disk Management, create logical partitions within each extended partition. IMPORTANT: Do not format the drives. Oracle8i Parallel Server uses raw partitions, which requires that the drive not be formatted with any file system. 12. Power on the other cluster nodes. 13. Verify that the same shared disk resources are seen from every node in the cluster by running Disk Management on each node. 14. Perform the necessary Oracle commands to associate the new data files to the database. Refer to the Oracle8i Parallel Server Setup and Configuration Guide for more detailed instructions.
