Sample Configuration
The following figure illustrates a typical Oracle service group resource dependency graph.
Make a note of the following:
The sequence in which database and the additional management agent is created is not critical as long as everything is configured with the virtual server.
The additional Oracle Management Agent service will not come online till the network name (Lanman) is online on the same node.
The Oracle Management Agent (for the physical node) can be online on both the nodes. Only the additional Oracle Management Agent (for the virtual server) that needs to be online on one of the two nodes, as it depends on the virtual network name. This ensures that the host information is always available.
Failover time may increase after the Management Agent is added to the VCS cluster group. After Oracle service group is failed over to the other node, the Enterprise Manager agent service should be restarted on the Enterprise Manager Server in order to connect to the database using Enterprise Manager.
