Oracle RAC on Suse 9.1 ?

Hi Linux Forum,
For the purpose of a conference demonstration in the beginning of November - this year ;-) - I am planning to set up an Oracle RAC with 10g.
It would be really nice to do this setup on SuSe 9.1 with the 2.6 kernel.
My question is now as simple as:
Should I just forget it, since Oracle RAC does not work with a 2.6 kernel, or could I expect to reach the goal before november?
--Flemming

I would suggest to use Suse Enterprise Edition (30 day eval available) if your committed to suse - i have gotten it to work here.
Otherwise, the easiest path is to use WhiteBox or CentOS linux - both are free versions of Redhat enterprise linux.
Centos.com i think (or .org) - just google for CentOS linux or whitebox linux. THat way you can simply follow the setup guides oracle & redhat provide

Oracle RAC 10g R2 And SUSE SLES10

Hi there guys
I downloaded oracle rac 10 R2 and tried to install it using OpenSuse Linux 10.1
which resulted in an unsoported OS error.. the documentations says about SLES9
which I do not have, my provider has SLES10, I'd like to know is If need
SLES9 at all, or if I can install it using SLES10 which is newer of course,
I do not want to buy SLES10 if it wont work anyway.
Thanks in advance, sorry for my very basic question.

Pl indicate which version of 10gR2 - only 10.2.0.5 is supported on Win 2008 R2

Does /sapmnt need in cluster file system(SAP ECC 6.0 with oracle RAC)

We are going to be installing SAP with Oracle 10.2.0.4 RAC on Linux SuSE 10 and OCFS2. The Oracle RAC documentation states:
You must store the following components in the cluster file system when you use RAC
in the SAP environment:
- Oracle Clusterware (CRS) Home
- Oracle RDBMS Home
- SAP Home (also /sapmnt)
- Voting Disks
- OCR
- Database
What I want to ask is if I really need put SAP Home(also /sapmnt) on cluster file system? I will build a two nodes oracel 10g RAC and I also have another two nodes to install SAP CI and DI. My orginial think is sapmnt is a NFS share, and mount to all four nodes(RAC node and CI/DI), and all oracle stuff was on OCFS2(only two rac nodes are OCFS), anybody can tell me if SAP Home(also /sapmnt) can be NFS mount not OCFS2, thanks.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I don't think you need to keep /sapmnt in ocfs2 . Reason any file system need to be in cluster is,in RAC environment, data stored in the cache of one Oracle instance to be accessed by any other instance by transferring it across the private network and preserves data integrity and cache coherency by transmitting locking and other synchronization information across cluster nodes.
AS this applies to redo files, datafiles and control files only , you should be fine with nfs mount of /sapmnt sharing across and not having ocfs2.

Oracle RAC and datacontrol

Hello, I have an Oracle RAC 10gR2 with 2 nodes on Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10. When I enter on the enterprise manager database control (no grid control). I see the follow message:
"Availability calculations for the cluster database target are disabled. Please enable the DBMS JOB EMD_MAINTENANCE.EXECUTE_EM_DBMS_JOB_PROCS for Database Control."
What is it? How can I clean it?
Thanks in advance.

This license is needed?, that another way I can do without affecting my performace?

I suggest you must go through SAP on Oracle and follow then link SAP on Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)

What distro linux is supported from ORACLE RAC?

Hi,
what distro linux is supported from ORACLE RAC?
Debian, Red Hat Enterprise, Suse, CentOS?
Thank you.
AV

Which version of RAC?
Also, what kind of processors will you be using?
The easiest way to find out what you need is on the 'Certify' tab on Metalink. It can tell you exactly what you need to know with only a few clicks of the mouse.

Oracle RAC and ASM for SAP in SLES

Hello,
We are installing our SAP ERP with Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 on SLES 11 x86_64. According note 527843 (Oracle RAC support in the SAP environment), this is supported for SAP. But as a requirement ASM Cluster File System must be setup.
But when Oracle Grid is installed, ACFS installation returns the following error:
ACFS-9459: ADVM/ACFS is not supported on this OS version: 'sles-release-11.1-1.152'
So Oracle GRID has been installed without ACFS, so we will not be able to use Oracle Clusterware for providing high availability of SAP.
As this is supposed to be a feasible combination (Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 with ASM on SLES 11 SP1, Netweaver 7.0), I'm wondering if it is a bug, a lack of documentation or something I'm missing.
Kind regards,
Fermí

Read this below Oracle Note:
ACFS not supported on certain platforms [ID 1075058.1]
oracle@node1:~/app/oracle/product/grid/log/node1> tail -1 alertesiha.log
[client(14083)]CRS-10001:ADVM/ACFS is not supported on SUSE
Then these can be ignored, since ACFS/ADVM may not be supported for your platform. As of this writing, Sun, AIX, SuSE 10 are all supported in 11.2.0.2 only. HP-UX, SuSe 11 and RH6.0, as well as Oracle UEK ((2.6.32-100*) are not yet supported in 11.2.0.2. Keep in mind that this does not prevent your Grid Infrastructure stack (Clusterware and ASM) from starting. This is just an informational message for these platforms
Extract from SAP Note:
RAC 11.2.0.2 (x86 & x86_64 only):

In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

The query is re-issued as a flashback query and the client process can continue to fetch from the cursor. This is described in the Net Services Administrators Guide, the section on Transparent Application Failover.

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 Upgrade from Oracle RAC 9.2.0.6 to Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hi All,
Currently, we are running 4 node Oracle RAC environment with below mentioned configuration.
OS: Sun Solaris 5.9
Hardware: Sun E2900
Oracle Version: 9.2.0.6
Veritas Cluster Server: 4.1
We want to upgrade Oracle version to 10g, and currently analyzing the options to perform this. The current database size is 1TB appx and we want to spend minimum application shutdown time running on this database.
As part of upgrade, we also need to upgrade Veritas Cluster Server from 4.1 to 5.1 to support Oracle 10g. It would be great help,, if someone can pass some guideline to perform this task.
We are currently thinking about piecemeal approach, where we can upgrade each node individually and then put them back to cluster. There are some complexities involved, and its really high risk approach.
Thanks a lot in advance for help
Regards,
Manoj

Orcale 10g RAC requires you to install Oracle Clusterware. Oracle Supports running it along side a 3rd party clustering software. Not sure why you're so anxious to upgrade Veritas Clusterware when it will be trivial on the 10g db hosts.

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
ERROR: diskgroup DG1 was not mounted
any help would be appreciated
thanks a lot.
