About the VCS agents for Oracle and NetApp
The Cluster Server (VCS) agent for Oracle provides high availability to Oracle in a VCS environment. The VCS agent for NetApp SnapMirror enables configuring NetApp filers in a VCS environment. Both the agents work together to provide high availability for Oracle, in environments that use NetApp filers for shared storage.
In a typical configuration, the agents are installed on each node in the cluster. The nodes are connected to the NetApp filers through a dedicated (private) storage network. VCS nodes are physically attached to the NetApp filer via an ethernet cable supporting iSCSI or Fibre Channel (FC) as the transport protocol.
The following figure illustrates a typical VCS cluster configuration in a NetApp storage environment.
This chapter provides an overview of the agents. Review the information about agents, including their resource type definitions and attribute definitions.
