Oracle Database 11gR2 RAC - Configure ASM Libraries on VM

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC system using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 - Oracle Linux 5.6) on the top of VMPlayer.
I am configuring ASM libraries on rac1 using the command:
[root@rac1 dev]# oracleasm configure -i
But this message comes up:"Command not found."
I cannot find the directory where "oracleasm" is located. Can any folk help to solve the issue ?
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you to take a look at these guides
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/Articles11g.php#db11g_release_2_installations
Many of them are installed in virtual machines.

Oracle database 10g RAc an ASM configuration

Hi all,
I want to ask to everybody something about Oracle 10g RAC and ASm configuration. We plan to migrate to Oracle 10g from 9i, and we will begin configuring oracle but we have to decide which configuration are the best.
Our materials are bellow:
Hardware: RP 3440 (HP)
OS : HPUX 11i Ver 1
Storage: EVA 4000 (eva disk group)
The problem is:
Our supplier recommand us to use HP serviguard + HP serviceguard extension for RAC+ RAc and Raw device as configuration.
But we want to use Oracekl Clusterware + RAC + ASM
My question is if anybody know what is the best configuration, we want to use ASm.
Can we use HP serviguard and ASM.
Some documentations or link explain oracle RAC and ASM configuration will be appreciate.
Thanks for your help.

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.

Is VMPlayer3 supported by Oracle DB 11gR2 RAC system ?

Folks,
Hello. I have been running Oracle regular ( a single instance) Database 11gR1 successfully with Oracle Linux 5.6 as Guest OS in VMPlayer3 and with Windows 7 as Host OS for a long time.
Now, I am installing Oracle Database 11gR2 RAC system (2 nodes) in the same environment that is with Oracle Linux 5.6 as Guest OS in VMPlayer3 and with Windows 7 as Host OS.
I have installed Clusterware for 2 nodes. But it seems that VMPlayer3 is not supported by Oracle DB 11gR2 RAC system.
Only VMware Server 2.0.2 is supported. When I install VMware Server2.0.2 in Windows 7, the error message comes up as follows:
"Setup has detected that VMPlayer is already installed on this machine. Please uninstall this product through the Control Panel and try again."
This means we cannot installed VMPlayer3 and VMware Server 2.0.2 in one OS Windows 7. I have installed many VMs in VMPlayer3 and cannot uninstalled VMPlayer3.
My questions are:
Can any folk make sure whehter VMPlayer3 is supported by Oracle DB 11gR2 RAC system or not ?
If not, how to solve the issue that VMPlayer3 and VMware Server 2.0.2 cannot be installed in one OS Windows 7 ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. As I know, VMPlayer 3 supports Oracle Linux 5.6 as Guest OS and Windows 7 as Host OS.
But when I am installing Clusterware and running the script root.sh, the error message comes up as follows:
"ADVM/ACFS is not supported on Oracle Linux-release-5-6-6.0.1".
My questions are:
First, what is ADVM/ACFS about ?
Second, can any folk make sure whether Oracle DB 11gR2 RAC system is compatible to run in Oracle Linux-release-5-6-6.0.1 in VMPlayer 3 with Windows 7 as Host OS ?
Thanks.

ASMCA needs Oracle Grid Infrastructure to configure ASM - 11gR2 on SLES11

Hi,
I'm trying to install 11gR2 with ASM on a new SLES11 Server. So far i successfully installed the Database Software but struggle now when it comes to installing the Grid Infrastructure.
Partitioning and stamping the disks as ASM disks worked fine, oracleasm listdisks would give me my disknames as output.
So far so good - in the grid infrastructure installer i chose "install and configure grid infrastructure for a standalone server"
The setup was working, i executed the root.sh script without any issues - but configuring ASMCA failed with the following error:
INFO: Read: Error while detecting Oracle Grid Infrastructure. ASMCA needs Oracle Grid Infrastructure to configure ASM.
Unfortunately i couldn't find a lot about it on the internet - i'm very stuck here..
Any ideas?
Andrea

i used raw devices in my first attempt - but read that it's not supported anymore - so i configured them as asm disks using the oracleasm tool.
which worked.. so the disks can not be the problem
i already read amans solution before posting here - but the problem in that thread was different - the guy installed the grid infrastructure software only and then tried to manually configure it, which failed.
His solution was to delete his previous install and choose '+Install and Configure Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server+' in the installer.
I already started my installation with Install and Configure Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server ... so that's no solution either :(

How to convert single instance10g db to 11gR2 RAC with ASM

Hi,
I need your help to decide the plan about how to convert single instance 10g database to 11gr2 rac with asm.
I can have about 6 to 8 hours of downtime to upgrade and move to rac with asm.
db size is about 1.5tb and on AIX.
here is my plan....
1) install 11gr2 rac with asm on two nodes
2) verify rac installation and clustered asm
3)install 10g oracle binaries( yes 10g )
4) shutdown production db ( machine prod )
5) make copy of production and restore on 1st node ( using shadow image , so it's quick and its file system )
6) upgrade db to 11g ( still of file system )
7) after successful upgrade, move to asm ( rman backup )
8) add another node
does it look okay ? OR is there a better approach to save time?
can someone help me ?
Thanks...

Thanks ...
So here is what I thought... suggest if something is not right...
1) install 11gr2 grid infra on node A and B with ASM
2) stop CLUSTER ON BOTH NODES.
3) shutdown prod db on 10g ( downtime starts )
4) take rman cold backup
5) restore rman backup on node A on ASM ( as if single instance 11g , no rac parameters )
6) mount and run upgrade script for 11g, then open db with 11
7) after successful upgrade, shutdown db node A
8) change all rac related parameters, spfile,undo,redo for rac environment on both nodes
9) open db in rac environment
can I do this way ?
My only question is, even though I installed rac on node A and B, in step 5 and 6 I'm using only node A as if it is single instance. Is it possible ?
if it is then I'm good to go...
Thanks for all suggestions.

ASMCA needs Oracle Grid Infrastructure to configure ASM

Hi,
I am trying to install ASM 11gR2 on RHEL5. I am using VMWare Workstation for this.
I have already installed Oracle database software and Grid Infrastructure on this machine.While installing Grid Infrastructure, I chose install Grid Infrastructure software only.
Once this was successfull I am trying to create ASM instance using asmca.
Regarding the disks, I am using raw devices. I created a virtual disk which I have partitioned but haven't formatted it. Done this to create raw device
[root@localhost sysconfig]# /bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb
/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 8, minor 16
and have added
ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="sdb",RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
to /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
Then I tried creating the disk but it failed. So I did the following steps to fix it
[root@dhcppc2 Softwares]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb
Marking disk "VOL1" as an ASM disk: [FAILED]
[oracle@oracle11gR2 grid]$ tail -f /var/log/oracleasm
Device "/dev/sdb" is not a partition
To fix this
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/sbin/asmtool -C -l /dev/oracleasm -n VOL1 -s /dev/sdb -a force=yes
asmtool: Device "/dev/sdb" is not a partition
asmtool: Continuing anyway
Now I am able to view the asmdisk through listdisks option.
Have set following environment variables before running asmca
[oracle@oracle11gR2 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/Grid
[oracle@oracle11gR2 ~]$ export PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/Grid/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/oracle/bin
When I am running ASMCA I am facing this error - Oralce Grid Infrastrcture is not configured properly. ASMCA needs Oracle Grid Infrastructure to configure ASM
Any thoughts?

Hi Aman,
Thanks for the reply.
Is it possible to configure 11gR2 ASM on single instance databases ? I have done the config with 10g but I am struggling with the Grid Infrastructure. For eg: when I do deinstall of Grid Infrstructure

Best practice for oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM

Did any one tried/installed Oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM and CRS ?
What is the best practice?
1. separate home for CRS, ASM and Oracle Database?
2. separate home for CRS and same home for ASM and Oracle Darabase?
we set up the test environment with separate CRS, ASM and Oracle database homes, but we have tons of issues with the listener, spfile and tnsnames.ora files. So, seeking advise from the gurus who implimeted/tested the same ?

I am getting ready to install the 10gR2 database software (10gR2 Clusterware was just installed ) and I want to have a home for ASM and another for database as you suggest. I have been told that 10gR2 was to have a smaller set of binaries that can be used for the ASM home ... but I am not sure how I go about installing it. The first look at the installer does not seem to make it obvious...Is it a custom build option?

Installing Oracle Database 11gR2 on Linux with Unbreakable Ente. Kernel

Hello,
I have Oracle Linux 5.5 with Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel.
what do I need to have/prepare to install Oracle database 11gR2 on it?
the hardware part and the partitions are done!
1-
Do I need to install/run Oracle Validated Configuration RPM? even if I have Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel?
if yes does in means the Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel does not prepare/configure the system to host database?
2-
With any of the above
do I still need create or edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file, and add or edit lines similar to the following:
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048586
I saw allot of docs out there, but none answered these questions!
so please do not post docs or links to a general sites!
Thank you for the help

Dude wrote:
The intention of Oracle UEK is quite obviously Oracle specific, so I think it is legitimate to ask why not to include the Oracle specific kernel configuration file. The UEK is a drop-in replacement for the existing kernel. Why would we include the oracle-validated configuration options into the kernel package when we already have a perfectly good oracle-validated RPM that can be used with both kernels? Also, the UEK may be Oracle specific, but it's not database specific. Keep in mind that Oracle has thousands and thousands of products. :) I run the UEK on lots and lots of servers, many of which don't run database and many of which have completely different /etc/sysctl.conf configurations.
The list of available packages and add-on's at http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/5/base/x86_64/ is growing. So perhaps it's just a matter of continued development.
Not sure what the point of this statement is: there are no plans to incorporate the oracle-validated configuration into the kernel, as it already exists in oracle-validated.

Solaris 10 patches for Oracle Database 11gR2

Hi,
I downloaded Oracle Solaris 10 s/w from e-Delivery and got it installed. For Oracle Database 11gR2 I also need the followging patches:
120754-06: SunOS 5.10_x86 libmtsk
119961-05: SunOS 5.10_x86: Assembler
119964-14: SunOS 5.10_x86 Shared library patch for C++_x86
Though we have access to MyOracleSupport we can only download s/w patches using our support contract with Oracle and not OS patches.
Is there any other way I can get these patches.
Rgds,
Thiru.

Thiru,
You won't find the patches in the patches/ directory on the DVD or the ISO image. Oracle integrates the patches directly into the packages, so there is no need to provide or install them separately.
All patches have a patch number (e.g. 120754) and a revision (e.g. 06). A newer revision of a patch always contains all fixes of the previous revisions. So try to run "showrev -p | grep 120754" instead, and you'll see that patch 120754-08 is pre-installed. As revision 08 is newer/higher than 06, the patch requirement is satisfied.
Hope that helps,
mp.

Does Veridata have Agent for oracle database 11gr2 on linux?

Hi,
Does veridata have agent for oracle database 11gr2 on linux? From the edelivery.oracle.com, I just found the latest version is 10.2. When I installed the 10.2 version agent for oracle database 11gr2, the agent needs libnnz10.*. Does 10.2 version agent support for 11gr2 database? Thank you.

I have tied reverting the shell limits back to the default with no change in the results.
However I am having some trouble with the projmod command, my projid for the oracle user is “default” not “group.dba” and when I set the system parameters the #cat /etc/project returns the following:
system:0::::
user.root:1::::
noproject:2::::
default:3::::project.max-shm-memory=(priviledge,2147483648,deny)
group.staff:10::::
When I check the values they are all right except for the projid… do you think this will cause a problem?
Also I have attempted to edit my shell startup file as per setup documentation however I cannot open /usr/sh with a text editor am I trying to edit the wrong file? I searched for .profile and could only find setup.profile because of this I cannot set the unmask value to 022.
I am also having issues running xclock wail signed in as the oracle user I have the DISPLAY variable set properly and I can access xclock wail logged into the root user. The installer checks the monitor’s ability to run at the minimum 256 colors using xdpyinfo and returns an error saying that my DISPLAY variable may be set wrong… xdpyinfo runs fine wail logged onto the root user. I think fixing this problem may help a lot.

Certification of Oracle Linux 6 with Oracle Database 11gR2?

Dear Oracle Corporation,
You released Oracle Database 11gR2 in September, 2009.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6 on 12 Feb 2011.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.1 on 1 Jun 2011.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.2 on 20 Dec 2011.
And, here we are on 21 Feb 2012, and you still have not certified Oracle Database 11gR2 (your most recent and up to date version of the database that's currently available!) with Oracle Linux 6!
You think you'll get around to that, any time soon?
All my love,
-Mark

Hi Hans;
Thanks for answer ;)
Because it is not a certifiaction issue. It is a timing issue, and that is in the hands of the legal department. Support can do absolutely nithing about it, and if they indicate a date, the Support Analyst will likely get fired.Please imagine, let us say my company always prefer to work lastest version of server,oracle products and also OS because of company policy. If I want to use 11gR2 with lastest version there is no problem. Because Oracle suggest to use lastest oracle version because of new futures wiht less bugs. So in my company happy with to use lastes oracle products and my company always want to work oracle linux. Big bosses ask the manager " Why we are still using old OEL 5.x version, there are already new products avaliable at market, If oracle 5.x perfect why they made annoucement new products, If they not certified wiht their other products why they create new OS, is it bad to use *nix 6 instead of 5?
So I wonder thah question and Dont I have a right to get to find some answers from oracle which I pay xxx$million dolar each year for their products and their metalink support.
So if its timing issue and let us say again I am only using windows not any other OS. Why oracle publish same product for different OS? If its timing issue than there are huge difference between annoucement
You released Oracle Database 11gR2 in September, 2009.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6 on 12 Feb 2011.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.1 on 1 Jun 2011.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.2 on 20 Dec 2011.2009 and 2012 ? It isnt big timing issue? :)
Anyway thanks for answer once more.. Let us see when some product will be certified wiht newer OS.
Regards
Helios
