Oracle EE cluster licensing

Hi,
I'd have to create a cluster with two servers. Each server is equipped with two processors (i.e. two filled sockets) which are intel quad core.
My question is: assuming that the minimum named user license number is 25, how many 25-user package shall I buy at the minimum?
25? (= the cluster counts as a unique sytem)
50? (= 25 x node)
100 (= 25 x node x processors_each_node)
Thanks in advance
Ciao

  • Private interconnect of an Oracle 10g cluster

    Can you please answer below questions?
    Is a direct connection between two nodes supported on the private interconnect of an Oracle 10g cluster?
    We know that crossover cables are not supported, but what about a Gigabit network with a straight cable?”

    Hi,
    I really wouldn't suggest that approach, It is definitely not efficient and not flexible
    - If you have 4 nodes, and nodes 1 want to send message to node 4, the package must go through node 2 and 3? Is it efficient? NO absolutely
    - If you have e.g 2 nodes, if one of the link down in one of the nodes, the other nodes link will also down, this will most likely evicting both nodes instead of one node
    - your clusterware nodes iis limited by the cable which is not efficient
    - etc etc etc more disadvantages than advantages

  • Create directory on a two-node Oracle server cluster

    Hi,
    How can I create directory on a two-node Oracle server cluster (2 identical servers running the same Oracle database instances with shared disks)? Both of them run Windows 2008.
    I know this works for Oracle running in a single server. How about in failover cluster environment?
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY g_vid_lib AS 'X:\video\library\g_rated';
    Thanks.
    Andy

    Using 11.2.0.? Using ASM? use ACFS - it is a SHARED file system.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16338_01/server.112/e10500/asmfilesystem.htm
    create [big empty disk group]
    create ACFS volume {container file that lives in that diskgroup]
    create ACFS file system
    mount the file system.
    Now, all nodes in the cluster can access that shared device at the OS level just as if it were any other device.

  • Why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup

    Hello All,
                 I got this question lately.. "why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup". I know we use the reverse proxy at Middleware level for multiple security reasons.
    Thanks..

    "why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup".
    I wouldn't. I wouldn't use a proxy of any sort for the Cluster Interconnect for sure.

  • WebLogic Cluster License Question

    We are currently testing WebLogic 5.1 clustering in our dev environment. I have 4 instances of the clusters running on the same machine but under different IP addresses. I have separate license files under individual license directories under each server under a directory called mycluster. the license file in each of these directories pertain to the ip address for each cluster. However, when I attempt to start the individual servers I receive an error stating that my license file does not contain the multicast ip address, and not the individual server ip's. Help.
              

              Unless using evaluation cluster license, you have to separate those
              4 licenses to different location if binding with 4 ip. Your 4 WL
              startup scripts must specify the same multicast address in order
              to communicate other clustered nodes.

  • About Oracle Enterprice edition license...

    Hello,
    I downloaded Oracle enterprise Edition 11g (11.2.0.1.0) 's two zip files of about 2 GB. But still i didn't install them.
    People are saying Oracle Enterprise Edition costs much. But after logged in to Oracle's account, i simply downloaded the zip files freely.
    Shall i install it or not?
    Do i need to pay money for Oracle? or Oracle ask money later?
    (I am a student and already i am using Oracle 11g Express Edition, which is free, so please don't tell me to use Express edition)
    My question is can i use Enterprise Edition or not?
    Or has i downloaded any beta version?
    Why Oracle Enterprise Edition is available to download freely?
    Thanks in advance.

    It's pretty simple. In order to download, you entered into a legally binding contract with Oracle and need to follow the rules of the contract to which you agreed. Most likely you agreed to the contract at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/standard-license-152015.html
    You gave Oracle permission to check on you to ensure that you are following the rules of the contract. If you stay in the rules, you probably don;t need to pay (additional) money.
    If you downloaded form OTN, and not from eDelivery.oracle.com, than the license you agree to use basicaly says "You will not give anyone else a copy of the program, and you will not use it in production. You can use it to learn, to study, and to create a prototype." There are other things, but that is the basic idea.
    That said, you may the agreement. You should take the time to read and understand it. Anything we say on the internet is useless to you, if you violate the actual agreement and Oracle takes you to court for money.

  • Oracle VM Server Licensing

    Hi,
    we are trying to search for information about Oracle VM Server Licensing and evaluate the possibility of purchasing licenses.
    We found information in http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=87615&beginIndex=0&sitex=14405:1435532:US&navTotals=34&navPageSize=25&navBeginIndex=26&navEndIndex=34
    Actually we got 10 machines with 8 cores & 32GB RAM. We guess with this hardware we should buy the Premier Non-Limited license, is it right? Or is possible to have a Premier Limited licenses with this hardware?
    Licensing, is including future updates for Oracle VM Server 3? In the same way, is the Manager support included?
    In the other hand, we would like to know if the Oracle Database included with the Manager has a free license for production environments or is strictly needed to purchase a license.
    Best regards,
    Marc Caubet

Or is possible to have a Premier Limited licenses with this hardware?Premier Limited = 2 physical CPUs. If you're using 2x Quad-Core, then you can use Premier Limited. If you're using 4x Dual-Core, you need Premier Non-Limited.
    Licensing, is including future updates for Oracle VM Server 3? In the same way, is the Manager support included?This is not a license purchase: this is an annual support agreement. It covers any version of Oracle VM running on physical hardware, including Oracle VM Manager.
    In the other hand, we would like to know if the Oracle Database included with the Manager has a free license for production environments or is strictly needed to purchase a license.The database included with Oracle VM Manager is Oracle XE which is also free to use with no license cost.

              You don't need any special cluster license. You can use default one.
              Remember only about 5 connections limitation per single server.

  • How could I study Oracle linux cluster ?

    Hello buddy:
    I want to study Oracle linux cluster. so, where can I get started ? I read online documents, but they not tell you how to build a test enviroument using VMware.
    Could you give a hint ?

    user1934450 wrote:
    Purpose is studying.Studying what exactly? Clusters are more than just shared disks.
    I want to restablish a single instance and database using OS cluster. The shared disk just can be seen by on node server, then I can manually test this OS cluster and make switching between two nodes at least.This is not really a cluster. A cluster supports scalability - for example, if a process load is too large for a single node, some of it can spill over and be executed by another node or multiple other cluster nodes.
    If you talk about standard Linux clustering, that would be running some kind of number crunching s/w (weather modeling, crunching astronomy data, etc) and running this across multiple cluster nodes.
    A shared cluster storage system is one possible component of a cluster.
    Taking your example - a shared cluster file system is not needed. As the other nodes cannot use that file system (if it does, it can corrupt database files) - only a single non RAC database instance can use the database. Thus the file system can only be used by a single instance on a single server. No clustering needed.
    When that server fails, that file system (from the storage server) needs to be mounted on another server and the database instance started on that server.
    This is not really a true cluster - simply a high availability and redundant configuration using multiple servers.
    If you want to study actual real clustering - do some research using Google. Create a simple project like calculating pi for example and create a virtual 2 or 3 node cluster that run this processing in parallel - using a shared cluster file system for data storage.

  • Oracle and Sparc license calculation

    Hi, i'm wondering if there's any neat formula for calculating maximum number of strands per license?
    What I mean is that say for example I have 2 Oracle Enterprise Database licenses on a Sparc T5440 system. How many strands can I use on the system for my Oracle license?

    What's a strand?

  • Oracle WebLogic Developer License (Confusion)

    Hi,
    Simply, WL server allows developers to use freely for development purposes. There is a little confusion over "fine-print" on "comercial" purposes are prohibited, so outsourced vendors developing software for say ISV consider commercial purpose (they paid for software development) and need production license to 'develop' application on WL.
    Can you pelase clarify this statement? simply, can outsourced software vendor develop applications for a client using developer license?
    Regards,
    TK.

    actually, just reading the license text of the free 11g R2 enterprise download:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/licenses/standard-license-152015.html
    LICENSE RIGHTS
    We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your application, and not for any other purpose. If you use the application you develop under this license for any internal data processing or for any commercial or production purposes, or you want to use the programs for any purpose other than as permitted under this agreement, you must obtain a production release version of the program by contacting us or an Oracle reseller to obtain the appropriate license. You acknowledge that we may not produce a production release version of the program and any development efforts undertaken by you are at your own risk.
    so it's not quite all that straightforward.... so I suggest that you contact Oracle to clarify your needs.

  • Installation of CRM 2007 in Windows with oracle and cluster environment

    Dear Experts,
    We are about to start the installation of CRM 2007 (ABAP+JAVA) with
    Oracle 10g on Windows x64 in cluster environment. In the SAPINST dialog
    box under High availability option, I could see installation options like ASCS
    Instance, SCS Instance, First MSCS node, Database Instance, Additional
    MSCS Node, Enqueue Replication Server, Central Instance and Dialog
    Instance.
    I have gone through the installation guide. I have below queries
    regarding the same. Can you please clarify the same
    1) Our requirement is we want to have an ACTIVE-ACTIVE cluster setup
    with sap service running in Node A and Database running in Node B. Can
    we have this setup in ABAP+JAVA setup
    2) Also,in the SAPINST dialog box as said above except last two
    (Central and Dialoge instance) as per standard installation guide are
    to be installed in shared drives as per the requirement. But, central
    and dialog are said to be installed locally on any one node in MSCS or
    in separate server. As per my understanding Dialog instance will be
    used for load balancing which we do not require now. Hence I feel this
    is optional in our case. Where as Central Instance I am not able to
    understand why this option is for? Is it mandatory to be installed or optional. If
    so, when I installed it in one of the MSCS node the incase of failover
    how does it effect the system. As per my understanding ASCS and SCS
    comprise central instance.
    Please clarify and thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    I am following as per the standard installation guide.

  • Oracle 10g CPU Licensing / Usage

    I have purchased a quad cpu license for 10g. The new server just purchased has has 8 CPU's. Can oracle be installed on this machine without having to increase the CPU license count? Can 10g be tuned to just use 4 of the 8 CPU's to meet the licensing requirement?

    The new server just purchased has has 8 CPU'what sort of server is it? Are those CPUs single, dual or multi-core? There are different licensing multipliers for certain types of CPU. Find out more.
    Can 10g be tuned to just use 4 of the 8 CPU's to meet the licensing requirement? No. This is an artifact of different chip architectures. It is possible to do this with Intel chips (I recently blogged about this whilst pondering why Oracle Express is available for Linux but not Mac or other Unixes) but Sun Sparc chips are harder.
    What you might be able to do (depending on your server) is hard-partione your server and install Oracle in a 4-processor partition. Supposedly Oracle will except Sun Solaris 10 Containers as a licensable partition but I would check with your account manager.
    Cheers, APC

  • Oracle 9i Lite Licensing Question

    The installation media can be downloaded from the following link:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
    You will need to agree to the OTN license agreement before you download the software. The install media contains Personal, Standard or Enterprise. Each edition contains the SQL Worksheet.
    If you install the database on your PC, the install will include the client tools to connect to the database so there is no need to do a separate client install on the same machine.
