Hello Guys,
I was reading this article on link http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/25 it says the following
"If you had a physical machine with two network cards installed and a second hard disk with absolutely nothing else on it, you could achieve a RAC using a physical machine"
I am in procesof installing 2 nodes RAC and have configure network requirements on each node. I am struck with shared disk storage... can i acheive a shared diak storage by adding an other hardrive to one of the nodes? Please help...
Regards,
Imran

  • Problem of using OCFS2 as shared storage to install RAC 10g on VMware

    Hi, all
    I am installing a RAC 10g cluster with two linux nodes on VMware. I created a shared 5G disk for the two nodes as shared storage partition. By using OCFS2 tools, i formatted this shared storage partition and successfully auto mounted it on both nodes.
    Before installing, i use the command "runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n node1,node2" to determine the installation prerequisites. Everything is ok except an error "Could not find a suitable set of interfaces for VIPs.". By searching the web, i found this error could be safely ignored.
    The OCFS2 works well on both nodes, i formatted the shared partition as ocfs2 file system and configure o2bc to auto start ocfs service. I mounted the shared disk on both nodes at /ocfs directory. By adding an entry into both nodes' /etc/fstab, this partition can be auto mounted at system boots. I could access files in shared partition on both nodes.
    My problem is that, when installing clusterware, at the stage "Specify Oracle Cluster Registry", I enter "/ocfs/OCRFILE" for Specify OCR Location and "/ocfs/OCRFILE_Mirror" for Specify OCR Mirror Location. But got an error as following:
    ----- Error Message ----
    The location /ocfs/OCRFILE, entered for the Oracle Cluster Registry(OCR) is not shared across all the nodes in the cluster. Specify a shared raw partition or cluster file system that is visible by the same name on all nodes of the cluster.
    ------ Error Message ---
    I don't know why the OUI can't recognize /ocfs as shared partition. On both nodes, using command "mounted.ocfs2 -f", i can get the result:
    Device FS Nodes
    /dev/sdb1 ocfs2 node1, node2
    What's the possible wrong? Any help is appreciated!
    Addition information:
    1) uname -r
    2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.EL
    2) Permission of shared partition
    $ls -ld /ocfs/
    drwxrwxr-x 6 oracle dba 4096 Aug 3 18:22 /ocfs/

    Hello
    I am not sure how far this following solution is relevant to your problem (regardless when it was originally posted - may help someone who is reading this thread), here is what I faced and here is how I fixed it:
    I was setting up RAC using VMWare. I prepared rac1 [installed OS, configured disks, users, etc] and the made a copy of it as rac2. So far so good. When, as per the guide I was following for RAC configuration, I started OCFS2 configuration, faced the following error on RAC2 when I tried to mount the /dev/adb1:
    ===================================================
    [Root @ *rac2* ~] # mount - t ocfs2 - o datavolume, nointr / dev / sdb1 / ocfs
    ocfs2_hb_ctl: OCFS2 DIRECTORY corrupted WHILE reading uuid ocfs2_hb_ctl: OCFS2 DIRECTORY corrupted WHILE reading uuid
    mount.ocfs2: Error WHEN attempting TO run / sbin / ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation not permitted" mount.ocfs2: Error WHEN attempting TO run / sbin / ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation not permitted"
    ===================================================
    After a lot of "googling around", I finally bumped into a page, the kind person who posted the solution said [in my words below and more detailed ]:
    o shutdown both rac1 and rac2
    o in VMWare, "edit virtual machine settings" for rac1
    o remove the disk [make sure you drop the correct one]
    o recreate it and select *"allocate all disk space now"* [with same name and in the same directory where it was before]
    o start rac1 and login as *"root"* and *"fdisk /dev/sdb"* [or whichever is/was your disk where you r installing ocfs2]
    Once done, repeat the steps for configuring OCFS2. I was successfully able to mount the disk on both machines.
    All this problem was apparently caused by not choosing "allocate all disk space now" option while creating the disk to be used for OCFS2.
    If you still have any questions or problem, email me at [email protected] and I'll try to get back to you at my earliest.
    Good luck!

  • Is there any option to install SQL server in mac os 10.9

    is there any option to install SQL server in mac os 10.9

    Hi PREM,
    If I understand correctly, you want to use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services.
    Based on my research, only Microsoft Windows Authentication is available for SSIS. So we cannot use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services. Besides, we can only add OS users in the DCOM Config permission area.
    Reference:
    Connect to Server (Integration Services)

  • Is there any harm in installing an older version of Acrobat along with the new version?

    I'm running Acrobat v11.0.04 on my iMac. For my work, I have to create pdfs and upload them to a special server that then generates dynamic versions of them (blah blah blah... I don't really understand that part of it...). Anyway, it can't use PDFs created by this version of Acrobat... or the last few versions, for that matter. So... is there any harm in installing version 8 (which does work) on my iMac? I don't want to get rid of version 11... I want to have both.
    Thanks!
    julie

    I am not sure anyone knows what the server needs. We just know what doesn't work. What DOES work are the pdfs I compile (I have to combine two pdfs into one) are the ones created from version 8. I will ask if I can get specifications. It's confusing because I create the pdfs and send them to someone else. He uploads them to this server which is run by another company. So there are a lot of different levels involved. All I know is that every time a new version of Acrobat comes out, I create a test pdf and it doesn't work. I always have to go back to version 8. I recently bought a new computer and didn't want to install version 8... but unless we can figure out  a way to generate the "right" pdfs, it looks like I  might have to. Anyway, I'll see what I can find out.

  • Is there any chance to install sunstudio 12 on slackware 11?

    hi,
    is there any chance to install sunstudio 12 on slackware 11?
    i tried with no success. i used rpm2tgz on unpacked rpm's, but java 1.4.2_08 reported unsatisfied dependencies like gawk and /bin/sh.i dont understand this because i have /bin/sh and valid gawk (they come with my slack). when i use binary package for java, and try to install ss12, situation is same
    any hints?
    10x in advance

    kets see the one where it keeps complaining that Java cant be installed because of other dep's when Slackware doesn't use a package management system and doesn't track dep's....
    Tho i have solved this problem and have Sun Studio 12 working on my desktop, just glad the MS version will be a load easier... for the laptop.
    this is only a suggestion but make an installer version with all the required stuff Java, Netbeans and whatever else it needs
    and without RPM's but as one huge Tar BZ file... at least then any Linux distro can use the same one...

    Is there any benefit to installing anti-virus software on the Windows side of the Boot Camp configuration?

    The advantage is the susceptibility of Windows systems to viruses and passing those along.  While they may not affect, or infect, a Mac OS X systems, thy can be passed through to others.

  • Accessing and Managing RAC 10g database with 9i OEM

    can i Access and Manage RAC 10g database with 9i OEM? If yes How?

    9i EM can 'see' a 10g database and perform some basic functions (rsp. all what is known to 9i). But it cannot manage any 10g functionality , because it doesn't know it. So such a constellation doesn't make really sense. On the other hand 10g EM can manage 8i,9i and 10g databases.
