Info on patches for 10g rac

Hi
I am installing oracle 10g rac release 2 on RHEL 64 bit.
How can I know are there any patches to be applied for that.
Thanks

Run runcluvfy.sh from <CRS_Clusterware>/cluvfy (the location where you uncompressed the CRS binaries)...this will let you know if there are any missing patches.

Raw Storage device for 10g RAC

Hi
What would be economical & of good quality RAW storage device for 10g RAC setup
Thanks
JIL

Sorry, but what do you mean shared networK?
Yes you need to ensure 2+ server hosts can access the storage array, but if you array can handle multiple direct connections then this is perfectly acceptable for RAC - this is Direct Attached Storage DAS.
Your original post made me think of NAS which may not be what you were meaning, but is how I read network device - NAS, NFS kinda thing - which is NOT a requirement for RAC.

NIC ROUTER requirement for 10g RAC database

I need to know what hardware to order in setting up an 10g RAC database without a single-point-of-failure. My question centers on the networks. If each server has one NIC for the public interface and one NIC for the private interconnect, aren't the routers these NICs are attached to a single point of failure? If each server has two NICs bonded together for the public interface and two NICs bonded together for the private interconnect, does each NIC attach to a different router?

Infiniband supports the Internet Protocol suite over Infiniband, or IPoIB. It also supports RDMA over Infiniband.
so do we need only infiband SDR / QDR switch to set infiband OR what else??You need an Infiniband switch - Cisco and Voltaire are two companies that supply this type of hardware. The latter is used by Oracle in its Exadata database machines. Unsure about Cisco's commitment to Infiniband switches as they have discontinued their Infiniband switches with integrated fibre channel gateways. A sore point with us after we bought into this technology about 2 years ago, in part on their very own recommendations - and now own very expensive, somewhat buggy and totally unsupported hardware. Seems like the new Cisco California servers are GigE and not Infiniband, which perhaps explain this (flawed) decision of theirs...
For each cluster node, you need an Infiniband PCI card (typically has 2 ports). If you are going to use bonding, you will need a pair of Infiniband cables per server. Also remember to get spares - both PCI cards and cables.
If you want redundancy at the switch, you need to get yourself 2 Infiniband switches.
But if you're planning to invest this into a RAC cluster, then surely you should also invest money in RAC licensing and support - and with that gain access to very useful documentation like the RAC Starter Kit and so on.

Linux Cluster File System partitions for 10g RAC

Hi Friends,
I planned to install 2 Node Oracle 10g RAC on RHEL and I planned to use Linux File system itself for OCR,Voting Disk and datafiles (no OCFS2/RAW/ASM)
I am having SAN storage.
I would like to know how do i create shared/cluster partitions for OCR,Voting Disk and Datafiles (common storage on SAN).
Do i need to install any Linux cluster file system for creating these shared partitions (as we have sun cluster in solaris)?
If so let me know what versions are supported and provide the necessary Note / Link

DB

ACE is recommending the docs.

Now, for syllabus, I think you too search by google for something like "1z0-048 syllabus" and "1Z0-052" and/or "1Z0-053 Syllabus"
Be aware, you will get many fake links of saying that "we are providing the exam dumps / pass guarantee". Don't and never believe upon them, simply ignore them.

Client requirment for 10g RAC

Hi,
We are planning to deploy Oracle 10g RAC on itanium Cluster. What is the Client and its version requirement to take full advantage of 10g RAC load balancing/fail over ?
Shanmu
India.

If you want a realistic setup, then you need 3 physical PC's. VM ware installation is too easy, and you dont run into many of the issues you are likely to run into with physical computers. I recommend 3 old PC's with a KVM switch, with Openfiler as the previous post suggested. Put Linux on the cluster nodes, it is free and you dont need much horsepower to run it.

Apply patch for 10g

Hi, Good morning:
I am trying to apply patch for my newly installed Oracle10.2.0.1, I downloaded the Opatch utility and extracted it directly into oracle_home, and then I downloaded the latest patch 5500927 and extracted into oracle_home/opatch....
Now, if I do ' opatch inventory ' under oracle_home/optach, it will give
D:\Oracle10g\OPatch>opatch lsinventory
The system cannot find the file specified.
Java could not be located. OPatch cannot proceed!
OPatch failed with error code = 1
If I do 'opatch lsinventory ' under oracle_home/opatch/5500927 it will give :
D:\Oracle10g\OPatch>cd 5500927
D:\Oracle10g\OPatch\5500927>opatch lsinventory
'opatch' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I know I have JVM in my machine, and the JDK is version 1.4...
Can anyone help me ? what did I do wrong?
Thanks a lot.
Wendy

what a sec..the home does not look right, did you change it on installation?
set oracle_home=d:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
set oracle_sid=your_sid
opatch lsinventory
if that doesn't work, look at your PATH, see what is going on there
you might want to put the "opatch" sub-dir into your path..or create a couple of CMD files to set it all the time.

Recommended patches for 10G OLAP?

Hi,
Can anyone giude or suggest which patches one should install to view and use the latest OLAP suite features properly.
Currently I have installed the following :
1. 10G database 10.1.03
2. Patchset 4 for 10.1.03 (4074232)
I also plan to install 10G app server, then install the latest 9.2.1 Web Agent Patch (4194619) , to get web agent up and running.
Do I need to install any other patches? I tried installing 10.1.03B patch, but got a message saying it conflicts with patch 4074232.
At this stage I am looking to import Express 6.3.4 Databases, to upgrade an existing Web Agent App, (which I had successfully done at one stage using 9iR2, and also to investigate the use of compressed composites, on some of the existing cubes.
Thanks,
Imran Shah

Since this is windows, you can only have the OLAP C patch
or the RDBMS patch installed. One will overwrite the
other since the OLAP patch is not part of the RDBMS
patch 4. If you want to use OLAP, I recommend installing
the C patch.

Network Setup for 10g RAC

We are planning a 2 node RAC cluster with nodes in two room on a single site. The shared storage will be on a SAN which is replicated/mirrored (via the SAN) to a second SAN in the second room.
Setup
room A :- Node A SAN A
room B :- Node B SAN A
Room B :- mirrored copy of Data on SAN B
(both SAN and Host are capable of connecting to each other through SAN infrastructure)
My question /issue is around the IP network
The plan is for both node A and Node B to have 3 or 4 network connections
1 - Public Net
2 - Backup Net
3 - Private Net
4 - VIP addr - on the Public Net interface
My question s are
1 Do the Public Nets for both Nodes have to be on the same Vlan(subnet) or can they be on different Vlans (subnets)
eg
room A Public Net = a.b.1.0/24 (say gateway is a.b.1.1)
room A Host A public IP = a.b.1.20
room A Host A VIP = a.b.1.21
and
room B public Net = a.b.2.0/24
room B Host B public IP = a.b.2.20
room B Host B VIP = a.b.2.21
assume that there are other host on both networks
Will this work ??
How does the RAC nodes load balance across both nodes ? and are the VIP addrs used to achieve load balancing ??
Second question
While I can connect both room via a private network without routing (via dedicated fibre to two dedicated private net switches. I could save $$ by using a private vlan routed to each room Say a /29 network ( a.b.3.0/29)
Can I connect the private nets via a routed vlan ?

The public IP's all have to be on the same subnet.
Ie, the first 3 sets of number for the IP address
must be the same for the public and virtual IP's.
There are no options in that.Not necessarily, but probably most often correct. If the subnet mask is something other than 255.255.255.0, then the statement above may not hold and/or may not be sufficient. The public IPs and VIPs all must share the same subnet, that much is always correct. What constitutes the same subnet may vary based on the subnet mask used in your network.
For example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.254.0, then 172.16.172.4 and 172.16.173.12 are on the same subnet. Conversely, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.128, then 172.16.4.2 and 172.16.4.210 are NOT on the same subnet. If you're not sure, consult a network admin--there are also plenty of online tutorials regarding subnet masks and how they work.

What is the minimum required for 10g RAC AIX 5.2L on a SAN

We have the following
2 IBM p550's with AIX 5.2L
Oracle 10g
Hitachi SAN
The questions I have are
1. Does one need any addtional software such as HACMP ?
2. Can one use just RAW 'disks' and not use ASM ?
3. Can one using just the raw 'disks' presented by the SAN with ASM ?
Anything else ?
Thank you,
-pete

Oracle says that from 10g onwards, not need to have any other cluster software since it is providing CRS (cluster ready services) with 10g. However, having HACMP installed would be a good idea. I heard many problem, earliy release of 10g, aboug just using CRS instead of other clustered services.
Well, we are using SHARQ d240 storage, but, didn't required any raw partition, and also not using ASM. Basically, we are in a testing mode.

Is 10g RAC Master Slave configuration

Hi
If you read the alert logs then there is the following line:
"Setting master node info".
Does this imply that there is a master slave configuration for 10g RAC.

10g RAC remote monitoring

IF I plan to offer one of my clients remote Dba services for 10g RAC- Standard Edition....do you necessarily have to use ASM to do so or is that just the Oracle push and I can actually use other file systems like Linux ext3, etc?
And if I have to use ASM how hard should it be for my Dba's to train themselves on it?
any help is appreciated.

You are required by the Standard Edition License to use ASM with SE RAC (I am unsure of the license requriements wtih Standard Edition One).
ASM is very easy to learn, use, and mangage. Your DBAs should have no problem picking it up. Check out the following links for information on ASM.

From metalink
Can I use OCFS with SE RAC?
It is not supported to use OCFS with Standard Edition RAC. All database files must use ASM (redo logs, recovery area, datafiles, control files etc). We recommend that the binaries and trace files (non-ASM supported files) to be replicated on all nodes. This is done automatically by install.
Modified: 01-SEP-04 Ref #: ID-5748
And it's easy to manage those files, I think your DBAs just reading the doc can do that.
