Hello
Is it possible to make Cluster Ready Service in LAN (two computers having Windows 2000 professional having only one network adapter on each node connected through the router with each other)?

two network adapters and Real Application Cluster

Error while installing Oracle Cluster Ready Services Release 1 (10.1.0.2)

Hi all,
I am trying for RAC 10gR1 (10.1.0.2) using two machines with Windows 2000 Server. For this I need to install Oracle Cluster Ready Services Release 1 (10.1.0.2).
Machine details are as follows:-

I have completed all the pre-installation steps, i.e. configuring the disk for storage, and both the machine are communicating each other through there Private and Public interfaces. Now the problem appears when I am installing Oracle Cluster Ready Services, at the end of Installation following message appears and the auto configuration steps fails.

Also you clusterware installation installs to an ORACLE_HOME.
Oracle does only make a differentiation, if it has to be clear, that you got a clusterware home and a database home.
Normally if a patch is referring to $ORACLE_HOME (and the patch can be used for clusterware & database), it just means the installation directory of the oracle software installed.

Hi,
after the crsctl start crs you have to wait a while till the clusterstack is up. You just issued crsctl check crs a little to early.
To see the startup stack do a crsctl stat res -t -init.
If not everything in crsctl stat res -t -init goes to online after a while, then you have a problem, which has to be analyzed.
However if crsctl stat res -t -init show everything is started use crsctl stat res -t to see the other processes coming online.
Can you post the crsctl stat res -t -init (if not everything is online) or a crsctl stat res -t.
Only thing which I find strange is that oifcfg does not list a PUBLIC interface...
Regards
Sebastian

Linux server logs Cluster Ready Services completed waiting on dependencies

hi all
we run oracle 10g RAC on two nodes of SLES 10 SP2 Itanium.
on node 1 of the db node I see this message.
Mar 13 15:35:03 odbs1 logger: Cluster Ready Services completed waiting on dependencies.
This message has appeared for the second time in 3 days. the server is behaving normally. Could someone please let me know what exactly is the cause.
i tried to google a bit but i am not an expert in RAC
Could someone please let me know if this is a major issue or is it a generic message for something

Hi,
It means that the CRS not came up on startup and you put it online manualy.
Check your ocssd.log for messages like it
[ CSSD]2007-09-13 15:43:00.038 [1147169120] >TRACE: clsc_send_msg: (0x7271b0) NS err(12571, 12560), transport (530, 113, 0)
If they exists, the explanation is: The network on OS startup is slower than CRS and the CRS cannot communicate with others nodes with interconnect. To avoid split brain problem, it kills himself causing automatic start of CRS fails.
This problem could be solved add a sleep on /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/SXXXinit.crs before line $ID/init.cssd autostart. Try sleep 15, sleep 20 and test restart of node.
You can see it on My Oracle Suporte note ID 459169.1
I hope it helps!!

Oracle Cluster Ready Service

Hi
I am using Ora10gR1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. I am getting the following message in /var/log/messages
Aug 27 09:48:41 (none) logger: Oracle Cluster Ready Services disabled by corrupt install
Aug 27 09:48:41 (none) logger: Could not access /etc/oracle/scls_scr/ohare/root/crsstart.
I did not install CRS. Can you help?
Thx

Hi,
These don't have any affect on your database. If you want to disable these messages then comment following line in the inittab file
#h1:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null

Cluster ready services also for download?

Hi,
additionally to Oracle Database 10g (for Solaris) download, is it possible to download also "Cluster REady Services Release 1 CD-ROM"?
Hi
Michal

Bring up the big Downloads page. (Big red button in the heading gets you there)
Nowadays the product's called Clusterware, because "With Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2), Cluster Ready Services, or CRS, is now called Oracle Clusterware.".

Cluster Ready Services installation stall

At the final step, when asked to execute:
/u02/oradata/orcl/root.sh
as the root user, I get the following output:
Adding daemons to inittab
Preparing Oracle cluster Ready Services (CRS):
At this point, the script hangs indefinitely. I ran the script with "sh -x ./root.sh" and found that the script actuall is STALLING at this step:
+ /etc/init.d/init.crs start
Preparing Oralce Cluster Ready Services (CRS):
+ /sbin/init q
+ /etc/init.d/init.cssd startcheck
I've attempted an install on 2 seperate computers running both WhiteBox Linux 3 as well as Centos OS 3.4 with no luck.
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

I don't know, why this happens, I have only a kind of workaround.
If you don't use Real Application Cluster and/or ASM (Automatic Storage Management) , you don't need CRS. So you could modify root.sh to exclude all CRS configuration and start statements.

Cluster Ready Services Download

Could someone tell me where to find the download for release 2 is. I have CRS for release 1 but I can't seem to find it for R2.(Is this something I must buy now?)
Thank you

While starting ASM instance I got this error:
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Synchronization Service
I tried to start the resource wiht:
$ crsctl start resource -all
CRS-4639: Could not contact Oracle High Availability Services
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
Then i tried this:
$ crsctl start has
CRS-4124: Oracle High Availability Services startup failed.
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
Do you have any suggestion on how start the CSS?
Thanks in advance.

Want to cluster windows service without IP address

Environment
Two nodes configured clustered on windows2008R2
Query
I want to cluster windows service without IP address. Actually I want to cluster around 7 windows services but when we configure the service to cluster, it also ask to put IP address with it. But I dont want to access these services via IP addresses. I just
want to switchover these services. How could I do that.
Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks. Zahid Haseeb.

No, Its is not possible.
Without IP address, how will you access the services?
You need a dedicated IP address for each high availability service and application you are trying to configure.
See Dave's explanation for the below post

WWW service is not able to start via Microsoft Failover Cluster generic service resource

Environment
Cluster Nodes = two
Cluster Nodes OS = Windows 2008R2
Application = IIS
Query
I created generic service resources of many windows services under Microsoft Failover Cluster and they are failing over successfully but when I create a generic service resource for WWW, then the WWW service is not able to online
via Microsoft Failover Cluster. It stuck in online pending.
I have noticed two things.
1.) If the WWW service is set to manual and started at passive node and I manually restart the Active node then the WWW service successfully switch over to stand by/passive node. but if the WWW service is set to
manual and not started on stand by/Passive node then the WWW service is not failing over.
2.) if I kill the WWW service manually (as a test case) on Active Node via this command (taskkill /f /pid XXXX) then the WWW service failed and is not failing
over to standby/passive node.
Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks. Zahid Haseeb.

The problem is resolved. I feel that it will be helpful to other people who may face the same problem which I faced, so I wrote a blog on "How to configure IIS Web Site and Application Pool in Microsoft Failover Cluster" and mentioned almost all activities
which I have done. Kindly see the resolution under section "Configure some changes in Cluster Configuration" in the below link
