it generate error from user
Result: PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "oracle"
Post-check for hardware and operating system setup was unsuccessful.
Checks did not pass for the following node(s):
Node1
I did ssh,rsh from both nodes then I face issue . I modified hosts.equiv
Now I can do rsh from both nodes and with node itself .
But for ssh I cannot
Example from node1

Hi;
For your issue i suggest close your thread here as changing thread status to answere and move it to Forum Home » Grid Computing » RAC, ASM & Clusterware Installation which you can get more quick response

Oracle RAC with QFS shared storage going down when one disk fails

Hello,
I have an oracle RAC on my testing environment. The configuration follows

When the disk /dev/did/dsk/d2 failed (I have failed it by removing from the array), the oracle RAC went offline on both nodes, and then both nodes paniced and rebooted. Now the #clrg status shows below output.

crs is not started in any of the nodes. I would like to know if anybody faced this kind of a problem when using QFS on diskgroup. When one disk is failed, the oracle is not supposed to go offline as the other disk is working, and also my qfs configuration is to mirror these two disks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks in advance
Ushas Symon

I'm not sure why you say QFS is mirroring these disks!?!? Shared QFS has no inherent mirroring capability. It relies on the underlying volume manager (VM) or array to do that for it. If you need to mirror you storage, you do it at the VM level by creating a mirrored metadevice.

Migrating oracle 9i from Fail safe to Oracle RAC

We are planning to migrate our Oracle 9i database from Fail safe to Oracle RAC. Does anybody has any experience to share? Where can I find the documentation about this?
Regards
Tariq

FailSafe Cluster and RAC are completely different architectures, there's no direct migration path. Export the 9i database and import into a fresh RAC database.
At the same time move to 11gR2.

So, please help me fix this issue
Thank you

I had this problem and resolved it by transporting the file to the installation server with the correct ftp datatype (binary).
On page 54 of the install guide (..Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence\doc\doc\bi.1013\b31765.pdf) that comes with the installation files, there is an instruction to make sure that any ftp activity is done in binary.
This may not have occured with the license.xml file if you use a tool which offers the "feature" of automatic datatype recognition.
Hope this helps.

Oracle RAC Nodes getting reboot in case of preferred controller failed

When we are disconnecting both Fiber cable from preferred Controller A or plugging out Controller A card from Disk Array(IBM DS 4300), After 90 seconds both the servers are rebooting.
In this time complete RAC network is going out of service for approx 5 minutes.After reboot both servers are coming with both instances without any manual intervention
Its a critical issue for us because we are loosing High Availability, Let us know how we can resolve this critical issue.
Detail of Network:
1. Software- Oracle 10g Release2
2. OS- Redhat Linux 3 (Kernel Version-2.4.21-27.ELsmp)
3. Shared Storage- IBM DS 4300.
4. Multipathing Driver - RDAC (rdac-LINUX-09.00 A5.13)
4. Nodes- IBM 346
5. Databse on ASM
6. ASM,OCR & Voting Disk Preferred controller is A.
7. Hangcheck timer value is 210 seconds.
8. Both Server available with 2 HBA port . I HBA port is connected with Controller A and Seconfd HBA port is connected with Controller B of SAN Disk Array.
As per my understanding,
Voting disk resides in Disk Array and Controller A is preferred owner of Voting Disk LUN.. When i am disconnecting both fiber cable from preferred controller A , then Both Nodes Clusterware software trying to contact with Voting Disk, When they are unable to contact with Voting disk in specfic time period, they are going for reboot.
I tested Controller failure testing with Oracle RAC software as well without Oracle. Without Oracle its working fine and reason behind, in that time Disk Array is waiting for approx 300 seconds for changing preferred controlller from A to B.
But With Oracle, Clusterware Software reboot both nodes before Controller can shift from A to B.
So if i conclude,the tech who has good understanding of Oracle Clusterware on Linux OS & IBM RDAC multipath driver can help me.
when we install Oracle RAC on Linux, it is required to configure hangcheck timer.
Oracle recomends 180 second.
It means if one of node is hanging, then second node will wait for 180 seconds, if within 180 seconds ,it is not able to resolve this situation then it will reboot hung node.
I think Hangcheck timer configuration reuired only with Linux OS.
Configuration File
cat >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local << EOF
modprobe hangcheck-timer hangcheck_tick=15 hangcheck_margin=60

Sorry
Hangcheck timer is
Configuration File
cat >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local << EOF
modprobe hangcheck-timer hangcheck_tick=30 hangcheck_margin=180

Oracle RAC Private Connection fail. what is the preferable node?

Hello Everyone! I need all your helps about Oracle RAC.
I would like to know that when the private network in oracle rac down, which is the preferable node in the cluster (cluster of 2 nodes) to takeover the cluster.
Can I set/get the failover policy to point to one node in the cluster?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Base on my testing environment, I use VMware to build the oracle rac.
Because ifdown command reacts differently, now I use vmware feature on Network interface "disconnect" as pulling out the link from network interface.
Please, kindly have a look on the actions, I have done. Correct me if I am wrong.
I have two nodes which are node1 "rac1" and node2 "rac2".
1. I start crs on node2 "rac2" so that node2 have the role to write to OCR
2. After node2 start completely, I start crs on node1 "rac1" to join cluster.
3. I use disconnect network link from private network on node1, and I also check using ethtool to check link detected:
[root@rac1 ~]# ethtool eth1 | grep Link
Link detected: no
[root@rac1 ~]# ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:6A:73:20
inet addr:192.168.2.231 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

4. After some seconds, I checked the log file

5. I check the status resource of cluster and I see that Node1 "rac1" is the survived node.
Please help me to analyze it.
Thanks,

Try this. It worked for me.
Please keep in mind that you will need wait till each step finishes successfully before move to next one
For Step1 and 2, you can skip node(s) on which you didn't execute root.sh yet.
Step 1: As root, run "$GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -verbose -deconfig -force" on all nodes, except the last one.
Step 2: As root, run "$GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -verbose -deconfig -force -lastnode" on last node. This command will zero out OCR and VD disk also.
Step 3: As root, run $GRID_HOME/root.sh on all node one by one

Oracle RAC with ASM install failure

Hi Guy's
I've just rebuilt an Oracle RAC system, i've built this system many times and have the build documented. I usually follow the build doc to the tee and everything works fine. I have now been asked to rebuild the system to go into the production evironment. This is a two server standard RAC setup using ASM. We have a HP MSA500 shared storage setup. I've run the cluster verification tool and all the checks have come out fine. Whilst installing the clusterware i get a failed error message whilst it try's to confiure the Oracle Clusterware Configuration Assistant.
The error message i get is:
Command = C:\Windows\system 32\cmd\C Call E:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\crs\install\crssetup.config.bat
PROT-1:Failed to intialize OCR Config
STEP 1 Checking status of CRS cluster
STEP 2 Creating directories (E:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\Crs
STEP 3 Configuring OCR repository
ocr upgrade failed with (-1)
I've done this build many times and never seen this error. From what i've read on the internet it looks like it could be something up with my shared storage but i dont know what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Lee

ASM instances on 2 node Oracle RAC 10g r2 on Red Hat 4 u1

Hi all
I'm experiencing a problem in configuring diskgroups under +ASM instances on a two node Oracle RAC.
I followed the official guide and also official documents from metalink site, but i'm stuck with the visibility of asm disks.
I created fake disks on nfs with Netapp certified storage binding them to block device with the usual trick "losetup /dev/loopX /nfs/disk1 " ,
run "oracleasm createdisk DISKX /dev/loopX" on one node and
"oracleasm scandisks" on the other one.
With "oracleasm listdisks" i can see the disks at OS level in both nodes , but , when i try to create and mount diskgroup in the ASM instances , on the instance on which i create the diskgroup all is well, but the other one doesn't see the disks at all, and diskgroup mount fails with :
ERROR: no PST quorum in group 1: required 2, found 0
Tue Sep 20 16:22:32 2005
NOTE: cache dismounting group 1/0x6F88595E (DG1)
NOTE: dbwr not being msg'd to dismount

any help would be appreciated
thanks a lot.

I'm having this same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Recommendations - Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 Containers Logical/Local..

Dear Oracle Experts et all
I have a couple of questions for Oracle 10g RAC implementation on Solaris and seek your advice. we are attempting to implement oracle 10g RAC on Solaris OS and SPARC Platform.
1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? I was assuming that Oracle will always link it self with OS binaries and Libraries while S/W installation and hence will need an OS image/Root Disk over which it could go. However, in containers, I assume we have a single solaris installation and configuration which will thus be shared to the containers which will be further configured in it. In such situations how does Oracle instalation proceed? Do I need to look at a scenario where, the global Container/Zone will have Oracle install and this image be shared across to zones/containers accordingly? If it is so, what all filesystems from OS will need to be shared across to these zones/containers?
Additionally, even if this approach is supported, is it a recommended approach? I am unsure about the stability and functionality of Oracle in such cases and am not able to completly conceptualize. However, I assume there could be certain items which needs to be approprietly taken care off. It will help if you could share observations from your experiences.
2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?
Our requirement is to have the above mentioned multiple Oracle installations spread across two (2) seperate H/W platforms,say Node A and Node B, and configure our Cluster Solution to behave as active-passive across Node A and Node B. In other words, I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. I will configure one database each for each of these Oracle S/W installation (with an idea not to have Clusterware between clustering solution VRTS/SunCluster and Oracle installation, if it works). Now I will run 3 databases thus on each of these nodes. If any downtime happens on any one of the nodes, say Node A, I will fail all oracle databases and S/W accordingly to the alternate available node, Node B in this case, using native clustering solution and I will want the database to behave as it was behaving earlier, on Node A. I am not sure though if I will be able to bring the database up on Node B when resources in OS perspective are failed over.
we want to use Oracle 10g RAC Release 2 EE on Solaris 10 OS latest/one before the latest release.
Please share your thoughts.
Regards!

1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? My understanding is that RAC in a Zone (Container) is not supported by Oracle, and will not work anyway. Regardless of installation, RAC needs to do cluster level stuff about the cluster configuration, changing network addresses dynamically, and sending guaranteed messages over the cluster interconnect. None of this stuff can be done in a Local Zone in Solaris, because Local Zones have fewer permissions that the Global Zone. This is part of the design of Solaris Zones, and nothing to do with how Oracle RAC itself works on them.
This is all down to the security model of Zones, and Local Zones lack the ability to do certain things, to stop them reconfiguring themselves and impacting other Zones. Hence RAC cannot do dynamic cluster reconfiguration in a Local Zone, such as changing virtual network addresses when a node fails.
My understanding is that RAC just cannot work in a Local Zone. This was certainly true 5 years ago (mid 2005), and was a result of the inherent design and implementation of Zones in Solaris. Things may have changed, so check the Solaris documentation, and check if Oracle RAC is supported in Local Zones. However, as I said, this limitation was inherent in the design of Zones, so I do not see how Sun could possibly have changed it so that RAC would work in a Local Zone.
To me, your only option is the Global Zone. Which pretty much destroys the argument for having Zones on a Solaris system, unless you can host other non-Oracle application on the other Zones.
2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?I am not sure the term 'native' is correct. All 'Cluster' software is low level, and has components that run within the operating system. Whether this is Sun Cluster, Veritas Cluster Server, or Oracle Clusterware. They are all as 'native' to Solaris as each other. They all perform the same function for Oracle RAC around Cluster management - which nodes are members of the cluster, heartbeats between nodes, reliable fast message delivery, etc.
You only need one piece of Cluster software. So pick one and use it. If you use the Sun or Veritas cluster products, then you do not need the Oracle Clusterware software. But I would use it, because it is free (included with RAC), is from Oracle themselves and so guaranteed to work, is fully supported, and is one less third party product to deal with. Having an all Oracle software stack makes things simpler and more reliable, as far as I am concerned. You can be sure that Oracle will have fully tested RAC on their own Clusterware, and be able to replicate any issues in their own support environments.
Officially the Sun and Veritas products will work and are supported. But when you get a problem with your Cluster environment, who are you going to call? You really want to avoid "finger pointing" when you have a problem, with each vendor blaming the cause of the problem on another vendor. Using an all Oracle stack is simpler, and ensures Oracle will "own" all your support problems.
Also future upgrades between versions will be simpler, as Oracle will release all their software together, and have tested it together. When using third party Cluster software, you have to wait for all vendors to release new versions of their own software, and then wait again while it is tested against all the different third party software that runs on it. I have heard of customers stuck on old versions of certain cluster products, who cannot upgrade because there are no compatible combinations in the support matrices between the cluster product and Oracle database versions.
I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. As I said before, these 3 Oracle installations will actually all be on the same Global Zone, because RAC will not go into Local Zones.

Oracle RAC 11G - Service configuration

Hi,
I have been reading a lot of documentation regarding oracle services and I have an ok understanding of how they work. However, I have a general question regarding configuring services using Oracle RAC. For instance, if I have a 2 node oracle 11GR2 RAC on a Linux Redhat server. I have an application that connects to a service I have created. I create the service as follows.
srvctl add service -d ORCL_RAC -s APP_SERVICE -r ORCL_RAC1,ORCL_RAC2
The tnsnames contains:
APP_OLTP =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE = ON)
(FAILOVER = ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server01)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server02)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = APP_SERVICE)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(TYPE = SELECT)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 20)
(DELAY = 1)
My questions are as follows:
1) When I do a 'srvctl status service -d ORCL_RAC', should I see the service running on both nodes of the RAC? Or does it run only one node, then it will fail over to the other when needed?
2) If I have a RAC environment where I see two services created (RAC_SRV1 and RAC_SRV2). I see that RAC_SRV1 is only running on node1 and RAC_SRV2 is only running on node2. There are two applications sharing the same database, one application is using RAC_SRV1 and the other application is using RAC_SRV2. Am I correct in thinking that there is no failover available here? If node1 goes down, the application connecting to RAC_SRV1 will not be able to connect to node2 right?
3) In the case of the scenario in question 2 above, would it be best practise to simply create one service and have both applications connecting to the one service? Could I configure the one service to point connections from one application to node1 and connections from the other application to node2?

1) When I do a 'srvctl status service -d ORCL_RAC', should I see the service running on both nodes of the RAC? Or does it run only one node, then it will fail over to the other when needed?you can see its running on both nodes.
use option -a in srvctl ( A list of available instances to which the service fails over when the database is administrator managed.)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16795/srvctladmin.htm#i1008562

Could I configure the one service to point connections from one application to node1 and connections from the other application to node2? better create two service ,one for each application with specific node and other node in available list.
