Deploying Oracle RAC in the Global Zone

This deployment scenario consists of multiple servers, on which you install Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) in the global zone.

Create the rac_framework resource to support the installation of Oracle Grid Infrastructure. See Registering and Configuring the RAC Framework Resource Group.
Create the storage framework resource, if necessary, and any required storage resources.
See Creating Storage Management Resources .

You can also configure storage resources by running the clsetup utility from a global cluster node and follow the steps in the wizard. See Registering and Configuring Storage Resources for Oracle Files
Prepare the environment and then install and configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure as described these topics:
- See Configuring Users, Groups and Environments for Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database for information about configuring users, groups, and environments before installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure.
- See Configuring Storage for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for information about configuring storage for Oracle RAC Database.
- See Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for information about installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure.
Install and configure Oracle RAC Database as described in Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide.
Create the crs_framework and rac_server_proxy resources for the Oracle RAC database as described in Configuring Resources for Oracle RAC Database Instances.
The crs_framework resource type enables Oracle Solaris Cluster and Oracle Clusterware to inter-operate by enabling Oracle Solaris Cluster to stop Oracle Clusterware. The rac_server_proxy resource is a proxy resource for the Oracle RAC database server.
From a global cluster node, verify the Oracle RAC framework resources:
```
# clresource status
```
