Oracle GRID Installation

Hello Everyone,
We are planning for a Oracle DB Upgrade and it includes several other upgrades as well including storage, hardware, OS and SAP etc.
In the process we need to install the Oracle Grid. As per the SAP recommended installation we should use /oracle directory for the oracle, but oracle is saying to go for /opt directory for this. For the information we will be using RHEL 6 and Oracle 11.2.0.4 Grid. Is it going to create some issue in future and what about the BRTools*. Have anyone faced this situation before?
Thanks.
Kind Regards
Anand

Hi Anand,
Please refer to below SAP note for configuration
1932366 - Configuration of an Oracle Grid Administrator Account
Follow SAP suggestions as it would be useful in future from support perspective.
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori

Configure ASM for oracle Grid installation

Hi,
I do not know how to configure ASM for oracle grid infrastructure. As i tried to install oracle grid infrastructure says [INS - 30507] Empty ASM disk group.
I have to configure Asm before installing 11g R2. Please let me know what i have to do and provide the steps to configure and administer asm.
Thanks in advance.

Oracle Grid Installer cannot list available disks

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Oracle Database 11g R2 64-bit with ASM on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5 64-bit.
The problem I'm facing is that the Grid Infrastructure Installer cannot list available disks. In the setp of creating Diskgroups, I only see blank disk.

Hi Srini,
I have tried as you mentioned like installing Java in C:\Java... and I have tried the by setting the JRE_LOCATION of local path. No use of it.
tried with -jreloc and setting the java path in environment variables too.
As I understand, the problem i have seen at files copied path is not expected as required. Please see the path below...
C:\DOCUME~1\v859971\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2013-09-06_03-36-31PM\jre\bin\javaw.exe.
After running the Setup.exe -deinstall... temporary folder is creating with timestamp and all the required files are coping here...
"jre" folder also created and copied required java files directly into jre folder, but not in jre\bin folder.
folder path is like this
C:\DOCUME~1\v859971\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2013-09-06_03-36-31PM\jre\javaw.exe.
Setup application is expecting jre\bin\javaw.exe, but folder structure is created as jre\javaw.exe. There it is coming the issue.
I have even tried with copying all the files into bin folder and executed the setup.exe, it again creating a new temporary file
not able to resolve it...

ASM installation failure from Oracle GRID under Windows 7 64 bit

I am a rookie..I am running Oracle database 11gR2 running on a Windows 7 64 bit system.
I am implementing ASM onto my system solely for learning purposes
The implementation of ASM has changed between database releases 11gR1 and 11gR2 such that it is no longer configured locally but is now implemented from within Oracle GRID. Unfortunately, the book I am using to study my OCP from was written at the time of 11gR1 so I can no longer follow its instructions to create and configure ASM. Instead of using DBCA I now need to use ASMCA to configure ASM.
As a preliminary requirement I successfully installed Oracle Grid and configured it to run on my standalone server.
I created two partitions on my harddrive ...... drive G: and drive H: with intent of using them as my ASM disks. 45 Gig and 50 gig in size respectively formatted with the NTFS filesystem.
I ran ASMCA in an attempt to create an ASM instance
I specified these partition drives '\\.\G:' and '\\.\H:' in the disk discovery path which were successfully picked up.
However when ASMCA executed the creation process after some time it failed with the following message:
One or more diskgroup(s) creation failed as below:
DiskGroup mydisks creation failed with the following message:
ORA-15018: diskgroup cannot be created
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17090], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
Check C:\app\peter\cfgtoollogs\asmca\asmca-12101712AM0558.log for details.
Which I did and found many things

Ok. As above the ASM instance appeared to have been successfully created so as part of my investigative process to confirm what the script actually did successfully execute I attempted to log into the ASM instance to see how far it would get. It fails with the following result

There is an OracleOHService and it is running
LISTENER is running ie the local listener running on port 1521 that was originally created with a previous basic stand alone installation of the Oracle 11gR2 database . (ie before I installed Oracle GRID). No other listeners are running.
Can t see any evidence of any ASM service on Windows Task manager started/stopped or otherwise. Neither can I see evidence of a CSS service.
The log file that was generated is large I am not clear on what I should be looking for in order to find clues as to how I might manually resolve this problem and possibly 'salvage' the installation. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
read the documentation:

and you will find multiple errors, you probably did.
Especially the part on preparing storage.

How do I define 2 disk groups for ocr and voting disks at the oracle grid infrastructure installation window

Hello,
It may sound too easy to someone but I need to ask it anyway.
I am in the middle of building Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 on Linux. I have 2 storage and I created three LUNs in each of storage so 6 LUNs in total look in both of servers. If I choose NORMAL as a redundancy level, is it right to choose my 6 disks those are created for OCR_VOTE at the grid installation? Or should I choose only 3 of them and configure mirroring at latter stage?
The reason why I am asking this is that I didn't find any place to create asm disk group for ocr and voting disks at the oracle grid infrastructure installation window. In fact, I would to like to create two disk groups in which one of groups contains three disks those were brought from storage 1 and the second one contains rest three 3 disk that come from the last storage.
I believe that you will understand the manner and help me on choosing proper way.
Thank you.

Hi,
You have 2 Storage H/W.
You will need to configure a Quorum ASMDisk to store a Voting Disk.
Because if you lose 1/2 or more of all of your voting disks, then nodes get evicted from the cluster, or nodes kick themselves out of the cluster.
You must have the odd number of voting disk (i.e 1,3 or 5) one voting disk per ASM DISK, So 1 Storage will hold more voting disk than another storage.
(e.g 3 Voting Disk - 2 voting stored in stg-A and 1 voting disk store in stg-B)
If fail the storage that hold the major number of Voting disk the whole cluster (all nodes) goes down. Does not matter if you have a other storage online.
It will happen:
https://forums.oracle.com/message/9681811#9681811
You must configure your Clusterware same as RAC extended

Oracle documentation for Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure

Hi
I want to install 11g Release 2 "Oracle Grid Infrastrucure" on Aix system without Cluster/RAC option. The requirement is to configure ASM on an Standalone system without any Cluster and RAC. Is there any documentation available for this installation.
I have already checked the below link which provide information on Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10814/toc.htm
Please let know if there is any documentation for Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone system.

Hi there. Well, the installation of Grid Infrastructure would ask you that what kind of installation you want to do, single instance or cluster? If you would choose single instance installation, it would not be much different from doing any other oracle installation. The key factor to do it and why its mandatory is because from 11.2 onwards, ASM can't be managed from DBCA but from its own tool only, ASMCA and that runs from Grid Home. So I don't think that not finding the docs should be a show stopper for you. I haven't done it on AIX so I am not sure that I can be of some help about it. I have done it on OEL 5 and it didn't throw any issues for me.

Oracle grid infrastructure installation take long time on step 15 (perform prerequisite checks )

Oracle grid infrastructure installation take long time on step 15 (perform prerequisite checks )
I'm starting install and configure Oracle RAC 11gR2 on redhat 6.3 , when i reached step 15 (perform prerequisite checks ) it's taking long time more than 10 hours and still checking .... i closed it and start installation again it's same still waiting in perform prerequisite checks 75% complete
it is normal ?? what should i do ?? how i can monitoring installation steps and why this step take all this time please help .

Pl identify which exact version of 11gR2 - currently only 11.2.0.3 is certified/supported on Linux 6.x - Oracle&reg; Database - if you are using 11.2.0.1 or 11.2.0.2, then you will need to use Linux 5.x

Oracle Grid Agent Installation

Can I install Oracle Grid Agent 10.2.0.5.0 on IBM Itaniam 64bit machine with Linux 4.7 Cent OS

You can, and you can get it working, but remember that CentOS is not certified by Oracle, so you might run into trouble, but it will work ... on the other hand, you can run Oracle products on many system that are not certified, but the result might not be as good as if you would have a Oracle certified system, like free Oracle linux ...

Two questions on ASM for Grid Installation

Grid Infrastructure version : 11.2.0.3
Platform : Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.6
Question1.
oracle:dba will be owner of our Grid software (not grid user). What should be permission set for LUNs ( /dev/sda1, ..) before the grid installation ?
Question2.
Currently, the shared LUNs appear as
/dev/sdb ,
/dev/sdc,
/dev/sdd
does a single partition need to be created before presenting LUN to ASM ?
For example, I should choose p (primary partition ) below. Right ?
# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x8b157fd2.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
         switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
         sectors (command 'u').

Command (m for help): u

Check the step 5 here.You use oracleasm utility which changes permission.

RAC - Oracle Grid Infrastructure configure failed

Hi, am trying to install 2 node RAC on Oracle VMs. Before the installation during the -preinst check there were few issues which were resolved (ex user equivalence). After that during the installation process of the Grid it failed at step "Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster". After it failed at this step, subsequent steps too failed which I asked OUI to ignore and then I ran both the post installation scripts. And then ran post crsinst which failed. Pasting below the output of the root.sh script, post crsinst and other checks.

Please help.

before installation have u configure the private interconnect on both the nodes to same network adapter..
for example on node 1 if the private interconnect is on eth0 then on the node 2 it should use eth0 only...
for private interconnect use the hostonly option on both the nodes in the network configuration page of the vmware or virtual box..
and for public network it can be bridged
more over if you are installing on the laptop its good to configure the SSH using the OUI.. rather than doing it manually.. as it saves time
the private and the public networks should not have same range of ip address. like if public address are like 192.168.2.222/255.255.255.0 and private address have to be different like 10.10.1.2/255.0.0.0 (this is just an example)
have to configured the NTP.
any ways try installing the oracle rac on virtual box follow the steps given the below website they are pretty straight forward...

11.2.0.2 Grid Installation for a Standalone Server FAILED!

OS: OEL-5.5 x86_64 (kernel-2.6.18-194.17.4.0.1.el5, glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7)
Product: Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.2.0) x86_64 for Linux
Hi,
I was trying to perform a clean and full 11.2.0.2 installation for a Standalone Server (Single database + ASM + Restart), but unlike 11.2.0.1, this standalone patch, shipped as set of full installation files, has serious flaws mainly due to insane installation and configuration scripts. My environment is as follows:
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
GRID_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
all owned by oracle:dba. ASMLib was configured with four 256 GB partitions on four physical disks.
1. During grid installation the Prepare, Copy files, Link binaries, Setup files, Execute Root Scripts (root.sh), Update Inventory, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant all succeeded, but ASM Configuration Assistant FAILED and installation couldn't continue. That was because root.sh script (and inside it calling scripts) changed the ownership of ORACLE_BASE and GRID_HOME to root:dba, so that admin and diag directories creations in ORACLE_BASE were not permitted. After fixing that manually as root (immediately after executing root.sh), the installation continues and succeeds.
2. During installation of Client software the error message window appears stating that cannot find the /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/oui/bin/runInstaller.var file. By pressing the Continue button the installation continues ignoring this.
3. If Oracle Scheduler Agent is selected for installation during Client software installation, the Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.2.0 cannot start (https problem - cannot establish connection). To fix this, I had to deinstall Client software and install it again without Oracle Scheduler Agent.
4. The Performance window in Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.2.0 cannot display any graph ("Initializing" and "Transferring data from localhost..." never end).
Are those issues known issues? If they are, why did Oracle ship that standalone patch without testing it before? Given that prior release (11.2.0.1) was free of any errors above, it is really beyond me to figure out this negligence.

Are those issues known issues? Have you created service request ? That would be much better to be sure about the workaround you found.
