10g RAC on SOLARIS 10

Hi,
What is the best CLUSTER I can use for my 10g RAC on SOLARIS 10.
Regards
MMU

I am going to install Oracle 10g RAC (standard Edition) on Solaris 10 (sparc 64bit).I am using Oracle Clustware only.I need step by step document for this installation.I have gone through Oracle documents and many others.I have failed many times in this installation so I need some good document.
Plz tell me what directories I need to create and permission for this directories.
I am creating these directories before starting CRS installation.
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs
chown -R root:oinstall /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs
chmod -R 775 /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
chown -R root:oinstall /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
chmod -R 775 /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/admin
chown -R root:oinstall /opt/oracle/admin
chmod -R 775 /opt/oracle/admin
mkdir -p /var/tmp/.oracle
mkdir -p /tmp/.oracle
mkdir -p /var/opt/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /var/tmp/.oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /tmp/.oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /var/opt/oracle

10g rac on solaris

Dear all,
We are in the process of installtion of 10g RAC on solaris.
As far as i studied,
OCFS cannot be used in Solaris
Only 3rd party cluster file system can be used
if no 3 party cluster file system can be used,we have to use ASM
Is there any other options for this ?
Please guide
Kai

10g RAC on Solaris 10 containers - Question on Approach

Hi All
To introduce a little, I am trying to set-up 10g RAC (active-active) on Solaris 10 Containers. For the disaster recovery site, I was considering an option for storage replication across datacenters. As I look at the situation where the database could be highly transactional, I wanted to go for this option hoping I might be better able to recover db on dr site if a failure happens and also alleviate some load from the prod servers. In this regard I have a set of questions for which if you could share your experiences, thoughts .. I am sure will help my preperation.
1 Is Oracle Supported on Solaris 10 containers? I believe it is not supported and ofcourse am getting into the certification matrix for this with oracle. Anyways, any work around tried out by anyone ?
2 Which product is better in terms of performance while co-existing and co-functioning with Oracle? Sun Cluster!!! Vertas Cluster!!! any other? I am unable to link to any recommendations from Oracle and hence trying to understand the generic or say standard approach to this.
3 I understand on Prod site, Oracle remains active-active on two node cluster while I will mirror my SAN between Prod site and DR site on a timely basis, while DB is up and running. This mirroring has to be only an asynchronous mirroring for some limitations. I am unsure about my recoverability if we need to switch over to DR. Will I be able to recover the Database to a point when my last mirroring has been completed successfully when I say the mirroring happened while the Prod db is up and running (hot backup type on disk level). Until now I used a cold backup for Storage replication and I was sure to bring it up there. This hot backup kind of attempt is raising unrest and questions about the abilities.. :-(
4 I also have come across a term called federated databases? Is it similar to what I am trying to achieve here? Storage level replocation across data centres?
I know it takes some time to get to the end of it and finally implement it, but your inputs will certainly help me get things straight before I hit this first click. Thanks for all your inputs, advices, suggestions. :-)
Regards!

According to Oracle "Both Oracle 9i R2 and 10g R2 databases have been certified to run in a Solaris Container."
There are references here :- http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5397695
"Oracle databases (RAC and non-RAC) have been certified to run in a global Solaris 10 Container"
What storage are you using ? (filesystem, ASM ?) Personally I prefer ASM now, but it does depend on the storage platform and backup strategy.
What backup infrastructure do you have ? RMAN backup directly to tape is better than file copy.
For DR standby purposes I would use Dataguard instead of disk mirroring / storage replication. It is much more flexible (e.g can switch direction of replication, do incremental backups from the standby etc).
I would use CRS instead of VCS. CRS is built for the job, and integrates with netca, dbca, etc for service management, and also integrates with Dataguard Broker for standby switchover.

De-installing 10g RAC on Solaris 10

Hi,
Does anyone knows how to manually de-installing 10g rac on solairs 10?
I did not following the correct steps to de-install RAC from the RAC installation Guide.
I need to reuse this host for non-rac 10gr2 on different ORACLE_HOME.
./localconfig reset $ORACLE_HOME
Oracle CSS service would not start as installed
Automatic Storage Management(ASM) cannot be used until Oracle CSS service is started

I'm lead to think this is due to something with the setting on the heartbeat loss window. There are some threads suggesting the hangcheck-timer but it does not appear to be for solaris. Wondering where if any place I can check/change this setting.

Ah, thanks, looks like even just looking at the log yielded some thing different. I was grepping the alertlog instead which apparantly doesn't show as much (and shows time as 0). In the ocssd.log, it shows it with the time to live.
One more question, can you tell from this that whether this is a network hb or disk hb related or something else?
Thanks!

Oracle 10g RAC on solaris 10 installation

hi
i want to know the default file location of following:
oracle base
oracle home
control files
redo log files
data files
plz tell me exactly the default path for all the above

I'm assuming you mean running RAC with or without Sun Cluster? If so, the answer is that there would almost no difference in most cases. The only case I can think of would be if you had a sub-optimal interconnect without Sun Cluster where Sun Cluster's clprivnet would have given you striping and availability for free.
I am currently working on a Blueprint that describes the important differences between the two configurations (with and without SC). They can broadly be summarised as:
Sun Cluster gives you:
* Better data integrity protection
* Faster, more reliable node failure detection
* Makes your name space homogeneous, simplifying installation and device management (DID structure), so no need for messy symbolic links
* Gives you a highly available, striped cluster interconnect for the Cache Fusion traffic. (No need for tricky IPMP or link aggregation configurations.)
* Allows you to use volume managers link Solaris Volume Manager or VxVM
* Provides support for shared QFS as a file system for all Oracle objects, data includes (while still allowing ASM)
* A substantial collection of Sun written and supported agents to manage other applications you might also have on your cluster, e.g. NFS, SAP, Apache, etc, etc.
Hope that helps,
Tim

Daniel,
Again ... my initial response was that I was insulted by the implications: Still am.
Perhaps you are hoping someone else will steal that copywrited material and send it to you? Is that what you are asking?I think your initial response is little bit excessive (IMO). OP didn't say that "Somebody steal the content from metalink and send it to me please". He might requesting specific note id for appropriate document which describes installation in "instant" form.
But do you really think, for even one minute, that anyone who has invested many hundreds of hours into creating a training class is going to send you their materials for free?Somebody called "Linus" and many others invested many hundreds of hours to create OS which you are using for free (and you are recommending it in your posts)... ;-)
What if there is some altruist which could provide the such complex paper for RAC?
Your third post is correct and I absolutely agree with you (except last sentence).
Salman,
you can look to get inspired at "DBA" articles on OTN website (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/tech_dba.html#linux) or RAC SIG site and compare it with official documentation or metalink notes. Only documentation and metalink notes are 100% assurance that your installation/configuration will be supported. And in case of doubts you still can contact Oracle support and consult planned steps/implementation.

best place for starting is metalink and certification matrix
Good luck

10g R2 RAC on Solaris 10 error when running root.sh

hi, I am installing Oracle 10g rac on Solaris 10 with two nodes. In the end of the installation of RAC when a run root.sh I get the error bellow.
# /opt/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/root.sh
Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured
Setting the permissions on OCR backup directory
Setting up NS directories
Failed to upgrade Oracle Cluster Registry configuration

I have done this install using a pair of T2000's and a 65XX SAN. The install doco is not straight forward. I had to compile a number of Metalink notes to eventually get the disk partitions sorted. Of particular help was Note:271621.1.
Since I am not a Solaris admin, the next bit is caveated as "This is how I did it" and maybe not how anyone else would have done it. These things were not explicitly noted, but gleaned through a bit of reading:
1) you need to throw away the first cylinder of each LUN. I did this by creating the first partition as a single cylinder.
2)then create s4 (or whichever slice you desire) as the rest of the space allocated to that LUN.
3) Repeat this for each LUN presented
4) I created a directory /san under which I then created the character mode (raw) interface for each of ocr, vote.
5) For asm, and for no other reason than being self documenting, I created /san/asm and created character mode interfaces to each of the LUN's for datadg and fradg
6) repeat steps 1-5 on the other box
I took quite some time (2 days) to extract all this and assemble it to a working system. But has always been stable.

Oracle 10g RAC to 11g RAC Upgrade on Solaris

Hi,
We are planning to do a migration of a 4 Node Oracle 10g RAC on Solaris 9 to 11g with Solaris 10. We'd like know what would be the best path to take. We cannot afford any downtime!
Options: Are these feasible? Which option is best? Any documents links?
a) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?
c) Use Dataguard with 2 different RAC environments (2 nodes each). How would this work? Is it the only possible way? Any steps please?
Thanks

a) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?Hi,
first of all i would not change several components (OS, database version) at a time. My recommendation is to make small steps and start with the operating system first. Seconds recommendation is to test and test everything in your dev or test environment prior doing the upgrades in the productive environment. Trust me: You will face problems :-) So you better try it beforehand!
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?As far i know you can run different operating system versions on different nodes if they are supported (Solaris 9 and 10 are).

Document on 10g RAC setup on solaris using vmware

Hi All,
I am planning to setup "Oracle 10g RAC setup on Solaris using vmware", but I am strucked up at installation of Soaris 10 in VMWare.
Can any body please help/provide me the document on Solaris 10 installation for RAC setup .
The main problems I am having during the SOlaris 10 setup is
1) Setting up the static public and private addresses required for RAC
2) Partitioning the disk space.
Thanks in advance,
Mahipal Reddy

Is there a way to use different NIC names in 10g RAC?

For example node 1 has ipge0 for private, ipge1 for private and node 2 has Solaris default e1000g0 and e1000g1? Or do interface names have to match on all nodes? I am not referring to IPs or subnets - just NIC names.
Here is some background.
This was a 2 node 10g RAC on Solaris that has been in operation for years. Node 2 experienced a corrupt root partition (OS, nothing to do with Oracle), so OS was reinstalled. After OS reinstall I copied /var/opt/oracle/*.* from node 1, changed them to reflect node 2 info, plus CRS related files from /etc/init.d, such as init.crsd, etc. This is shared Oracle home, so Oracle continued to run on node 1 just fine.
However, after crs startup nodeapps tells me "atlts04ra.atlts04.vip:ifconfig: status: SIOCGLIFFLAGS: ipge0: no such interface". Indeed, this interface does not exist on node 2.
So, is there a way to instruct oracle to use different interface names for nodes? Or will vipca ask for matching NIC names just like disk mount names have to match?
I want to avoid reinstallation of RAC because that will disrupt oracle database that has been running on shared oracle home all along.
Thanks.

Fzheng, I am very interested in your statement "however you can change the e1000g0 to ipge0".
You mean to say there is an OS script that will downgrade ipge0 interfaces to e1000g0?
I got some more information from SysAdmins yesterday. Apparently, when OS was reinstalled on node 2 after root partition corruption, they also patched it up to Solaris 10u9 (which by default created e1000g0-type interfaces). The first node still had 10u7 with ipge0 interfaces. We, the DBAs, were not aware of the upgrade. So, nodeapps cant start saying "no such interface"on node 2.
You are probably referring to script /usr/sbin/e1000g_transition.
Here is the description:
"DESCRIPTION
This script allows you to perform an optional driver upgrade
for the Intel PRO/1000 device present on this system from the \"ipge\"
network driver to the Sun standard \"e1000g\" network driver. The
e1000g driver include features such as link aggregation as well as
superior performance in most environments. Moving forward, e1000g
will benefit from new features as they become available, bug fixes,
and performance enhancements. The disadvantage is that some
applications configuration files may require modification to use
e1000g if they reference the ipge network interface.
This script must be run in single user mode.
This script will alter network interfaces and related system
configuration files. Configuration files for 3rd party applications
will NOT be changed. After running this script, applications present
on the system may require maintenance. The system may be in an
unsecured state. The effects of this script may be reversed using
the backout (-b) option."
So, if I understand you correctly, you are proposing to run this this script with the backout (-b) option on node 2, so interface names will match.
Is this correct?
Thanks.

Oracle Database 10g - RAC install

1)
I am trying to install Oracle 10g RAC (for Solaris Operating System (SPARC)) using 'Enterprise/Standard Edition for Solaris Operating System (SPARC, 64-bit) - ship_rel10_sol64_db.cpio.gz' downloaded installation. There is no separate installation for RAC, so I assume this is the right install to use for RAC, right?
Since I don't have cabeling for Interconnect done yet, I tried to install Database/RAC prior CRS installation, but no option has been offered for RAC. Do I need to have clustering software installed first in order to be able to installl Oracle Database RAC?
2)
Why is Oracle Database 10g release 10.1.0.3 patch set (for Solaris Operating System (SPARC)) so large - 648 MB?
Do I need to install 10.1.0.2 first?

Hello,
there's no extra RAC software package, but the option is only offered, if one of the supported cluster layers for the respective OS has been installed before.
10.1.0.3 looks like a complete redesign, but anyway it is a patch, you have to install 10.1.0.2 first.

Problem with Oracle 10g RAC VIP network setting at Solaris 9

Dear All,
I have tried to set up a Oracle 10g RAC Release 2.
With OS solaris 9, and 2 nodes.
The nodes setting as the following:
nodes 1:
Public address: 172.16.0.121
Private address: 192.168.0.121, 192.168.1.121 (dual path for heart beat)
nodes 2:
Public address: 172.16.0.122
Private address: 192.168.0.122, 192.168.1.122
And i have assigned two IP adress 172.16.0.131, 172.16.0.132 as the VIP address for the
RAC.
And the following is the /etc/hosts file:
root@shk01 # cat /etc/hosts
# Internet host table
127.0.0.1 localhost
# public address
172.16.0.121 shk01 loghost
172.16.0.122 shk02
# heart beat
192.168.0.121 shk01-priv1
192.168.1.121 shk01-priv2
192.168.0.122 shk02-priv1
192.168.1.122 shk02-priv2
# VIP address
172.16.1.131 vip-shk01
172.16.1.132 vip-shk02
But when i run the command "$ ./runcluvfy.sh comp nodecon -n shk01,shk02 -verbose"
it shows the error:
ERROR:
Could not find a suitable set of interfaces for VIPs.
Result: Node connectivity check failed.
I did try to add the VIP address on bge0:1, as i using bge0 for the public address.
Both nodes i did using the same interface name for it.
Anyone have idea for me to check out the error?
Also, I have other question about the raw device.
As there is option for setting for ASM or raw device. If choosing raw device, does it mean that it just need to
format the storage disk but without newfs it? And then the Oracle program will able to handle it?
Thanks,
Xentar

You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

Hi all,
I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
My question is this:
How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
Thanks for your help!
