RAC on solaris 10 zones

Hi
Can I setup RAC on solaris 10 zones?
Thanks!

According to certify they suppored only in global containers. Metalink note 317257.1 may be of some help...

INSTALL PROBLEM 2 NODES RAC ON SOLARIS ZONES SINGLE HOST

Hi,
Does anybody tried to install rac using two zones located on the same physical machines as rac nodes?
I got problem after installation when it adds deamons to inittab and tries to start crs stack.
Even the css didn't come up.
It seems that voting disk where formatted correctly

Does anyone has any idea???

I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a warning. Do not stop any RAC processes. All RAC processes are essential to the successful operation of RAC. If you stop one of these processes then it is likely that either the instance on that node will fail and crash, or communication with the other node will be lost for a period of time. If this were to happen that the other node which was still running and unchanged would assume the other node had failed and perform a failover operation, recovering inflight transactions in the redo logs of the other instance.
All of this takes time, will impact performance, and will possibly kill off half of your sessions that were on the node you made the changes to. Recovery from one node to another takes time, and will mean that the remaining node will force the other node to shutdown, one way or another. It will use some of the underlying Clusterware capabilities to achieve this.
So, please do not just stop a RAC process, just because you want to backup some files in a file system. Do not touch the RAC processes at all. They are only meant to be controlled through RAC specific commands and tools such as Enterprise Manager.

Oracle Rac on Solaris Containers

We are planning to implement Oracle 11G RAC on Solaris 10 using non-global zone. RAC is now officially certified on Solaris containers.
But we are still investigating whether zone Cluster (Using Solaris Cluster) is the prerequisite to have Oracle RAC on Solaris non-global zone.
This oracle document *(Supported Virtualization and Partitioning Technologies for Oracle Database and RAC Product Releases [ID 1173831.1])* stated that:
_"*Oracle Solaris Containers are supported with Oracle RAC 10gR2 and 11gR1 (with Oracle Solaris Cluster on SPARC64). Solaris version 10 Update 7 or later (patches 141444-09, 143055-01, 142900-06, 143137-04 "md patch") with Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 and 3.2u2 patched to 126106-39 or later."*_
Does it mean that Oracle RAC is supported on Solaris Container only with Solaris Cluster?
In other word does Oracle RAC is supported on Solaris Non-Global zones without using Solaris Cluster?

It was my understanding too. Do you have any source document where it is specifically noted that solaris cluster(Zone Cluster) is needed for RAC?
Please check this document www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/systems-hardware-architecture/deploying-rac-in-containers-168438.pdf, nowhere it is said that Solaris Cluster is needed.

10gR2 RAC on Solaris 10

Hi,
I am looking for "step by step install & configure" guide to setup 10gr2 RAC on Solaris 10.
I got the following Doc "ID: Note:317257.1" from metalink. Looks like I need to configure Solaris 10 containers and Solaris Zones for 10g RAC.
Is there another way to setup 10gr2 RAC on Solaris 10 without using the Solaris 10 containers just like (Solaris 9 or plain OS)?
Any help would be appreciated.
R-

Thanks for all your inputs. I finally got 10g RAC installed and running.
I learned that there is no way to install Oracle software and configure ASM during installation. I had to install “Software Only” then configure ASM at the later time, then that will work.
Good luck to you all.

10g R2 RAC on Solaris 10 error when running root.sh

hi, I am installing Oracle 10g rac on Solaris 10 with two nodes. In the end of the installation of RAC when a run root.sh I get the error bellow.
# /opt/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/root.sh
Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured
Setting the permissions on OCR backup directory
Setting up NS directories
Failed to upgrade Oracle Cluster Registry configuration

I have done this install using a pair of T2000's and a 65XX SAN. The install doco is not straight forward. I had to compile a number of Metalink notes to eventually get the disk partitions sorted. Of particular help was Note:271621.1.
Since I am not a Solaris admin, the next bit is caveated as "This is how I did it" and maybe not how anyone else would have done it. These things were not explicitly noted, but gleaned through a bit of reading:
1) you need to throw away the first cylinder of each LUN. I did this by creating the first partition as a single cylinder.
2)then create s4 (or whichever slice you desire) as the rest of the space allocated to that LUN.
3) Repeat this for each LUN presented
4) I created a directory /san under which I then created the character mode (raw) interface for each of ocr, vote.
5) For asm, and for no other reason than being self documenting, I created /san/asm and created character mode interfaces to each of the LUN's for datadg and fradg
6) repeat steps 1-5 on the other box
I took quite some time (2 days) to extract all this and assemble it to a working system. But has always been stable.

Oracle licensing in Solaris zones

Hi all,
I've read a few documents about Oracle licensing :
http://www.sun.com/third-party/global/oracle/consolidation/Containers_Oracle_041305.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/partitioning.pdf
However, there's one thing not clear to me. In Solaris zones, you dedicate threads (usually referred to as 'CPU' on Solaris) to zones. Oracle licensing is always about the number of cores used by the partition, not the number of threads. How do you convert from threads to cores?
I'll give an example:
A T2 system with 2 processors, 8 cores each, 8 threads each (128 threads in total). You create a resource pool with 2 CPUs (threads): 1 thread from one core, and 1 thread from another one (or they are assigned like that for you) and associate a zone that runs Oracle.
I can think of two ways of calculating the number of cores used:
1) divide the number of dedicated threads by the number of threads per core: 2 / 8 = 0.25 (optionally round it up to 1) -- This is how IBM does its licensing.
2) count the number of physical cores that are being used by the zone. In this case this is 2, as the threads are not running on the same core.
Can anyone help me figuring this out?
Thanks!
Regards,
Mathieu

Hi Dezutterm,
I'm not a sales guy, but from how I understand things... you've already figured it out yourself:

2) count the number of physical cores that are being used by the zone. In this case this is 2, as the threads are not running on the same core.
Can anyone help me figuring this out?Like you've seen, Oracle cares about how many cores are running Oracle software, not threads (from "Processor" definition here: http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list.pdf). If you have 2 cores running Oracle software, you take "2" and multiple by the Core Processor Licensing Factor for that model of CPU (http://www.oracle.com/corporate/contracts/library/processor-core-factor-table.pdf) which for a T2 is 0.25... meaning you need 2 x 0.25 = 0.5 processor licenses. If you would have used both threads from the same core, you would need 0.25.
If this isn't correct, somebody please let us know, thanks!

Zfs core dumps in Solaris Zones after patchcluster installation

Hi
I've installed the recommended patch cluster for Solaris 10 (SPARC) on my T2000 Server.
Now after the reboot all the Solaris Zones (got about 10 of them) instantly do zfs core dumps when their booted.
Some Output:

Installation of patch set complete. PLEASE REBOOT THE SYSTEM.
when i tried to reboot the system by init 6 the service iscsi hanged and produced syslog errors about a unkown iocall -> killed the process. System rebooted w/o errors.
Does anyone have got an idea how to find out which patch or whatever do produce these errors?

Hi,
I'm having the same issue of diskmon core dumps after upgrading grid and database from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10 x86-64. Following this thread, I'm trying to deinstall the Oracle 11.2.0.1 grid home.
I answered the following questions asked by the grid deinstall tool:
1. ASM configuration was not detected in this Oracle home. Was ASM configured in this Oracle home (y|n): y
2. Specify the ASM Diagnostic Destination: /db01/app/oracle/diag/asm/+ASM
3. Specify the diskgroups that are managed by this ASM instance: DATA FRA
4. De-configuring ASM will drop all the diskgroups at cleanup time. Do you want deconfig tool to drop the diskgroups:
If I answer no to question 1, the tool exits with error.
How do I answer question #4? (confused about this question of dropping diskgroups, it's already been upgraded)
Deinstall of Oracle db Home 11.2.0.1 was successful.
The +ASM instance has been upgraded and is running fine under 11.2.0.2 except for the excessive diskmon core dumps.
Thanks,
Lisa

How to configure ASM of 11gR2 RAC on Solaris 10

Hi all,
I have the first time to install the RAC on Solaris 10. I have stuck on the ASM disk group step in the Grid Infrastructure.
Our Configuration
2 Sun Server in Solaris 10 with same configure (which we are not using shared drive)
250GB Local Hard Disk
1100 GB Raw Disk (which at SAN)
3GB x 3 Raw Disk (which at SAN) for voting disk
When I install Grid Infrastructure, I select first option: Install and Confgure Grid in Cluster (I can't remember the exact name) and also select the Typical Installation. The previous steps are successful before the ASM Disk Group. At ASM Disk Group, no disk are display for selection.
So, how to fix the missing disk in this ASM Disk Group creation?
Please help!

I would break the 1100G into 11@100G devices and use EXTERNAL redundancy (RAID on the SAN side). You will get much better performance. (Configured/managed a 250TB 3node cluster on Sun 6900s however my LUNs were 1.5TB in size)

Sunny YipAgain using a single 1.1TB device will not get you better performance and should you need to add additional devices, they too will need to be 1.1TB. Sometimes smaller is better.
Make sure you use a partition that starts at cylinder 1 or 2
Make sure you set the correct permissions (660) and ownership (gridowner:oinstall) on those devices and make sure the oracle user is a member of that group.

10g RAC on SOLARIS 10

Hi,
What is the best CLUSTER I can use for my 10g RAC on SOLARIS 10.
Regards
MMU

I am going to install Oracle 10g RAC (standard Edition) on Solaris 10 (sparc 64bit).I am using Oracle Clustware only.I need step by step document for this installation.I have gone through Oracle documents and many others.I have failed many times in this installation so I need some good document.
Plz tell me what directories I need to create and permission for this directories.
I am creating these directories before starting CRS installation.
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs
chown -R root:oinstall /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs
chmod -R 775 /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
chown -R root:oinstall /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
chmod -R 775 /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/admin
chown -R root:oinstall /opt/oracle/admin
chmod -R 775 /opt/oracle/admin
mkdir -p /var/tmp/.oracle

EM 12c and Solaris Zone Monitoring

Hi all,
I am using Oracle EM 12c to monitor Oracle database server which run on Solaris zone, which is capped to run using only 4 cores.
BUT the Host management home page is still showing "Total Cores" of 8 (I am using Sun T4-1).
Is there some configuration which required to be done to reflect the number of capped CPU.
Also is there a way to isolate the CPU, Memory, Filesystem and Network utilization to only look at the local zone?
I suspect what I see now represent the resource utilization of the physical machine.
Thank you.

Loc,
I've opened quite a few SRs, some handled well, some not. My biggest issue perhaps is that SRs are needed at all. We are a small shop that relied on OEM 10.2 for a long time, skipped over 11G and went right to 12R2. It was a culture shock, and I'm not sure if skipping the version added to our woes.
There are 3 DBAs here, with Oracle experience between 13 and 18 years, we are not newbies. I took the em12c class from Oracle.
But still, acceptance of its use has not been high, mostly because it's no longer the quick, targeted place we 'go to'. It's a huge product now, with much built-in. We are finding we need a mind adjustment to use it and the transition period related to how much time we can spend on that. Our intent, though, was to make things easier, not harder.
Case in point is our implementation of DataGuard. This project was new to us and I made EM12C upgrade as a predecessor project because I needed its help. I ultimately abandoned it, we hired a consultant, we learned manual steps, and that's what we use today. Everything is homegrown.
I feel as through the purpose for EM moved from a DBA monitoring tool. Remember OEM 10.2 and its initial summary page that showed the overall health of everything on one shot? I can't do that in em12c, or at least haven't found that.
Here are some SRs:
SR 3-6392247151
Sr 3-7159111371
SR 3-6645421051
* SR 3-6608820051
SR 3-6667182071
* Covers "invalid objects" missing, something we previously relied on.
Back to the original question of this post - I understand now that if we use EM to switch our databases, the role reversal will show. We would have loved to rely on EM for everything. Now that we must do everything manually, I have to then manually drop the target being monitored and re-add it. Again, something that should make our jobs easier is now harder.
Thanks for listening. Am I really the only DBA that says EM12C is harder to use for basic functionality?

SAP Java and Solaris Zones SolMan 4.0

May require Solaris Zones experience to continue.
I have three SAP database instances/central instances running in three sparse Solaris zones with no problem.
I have created a new sparse zone for a new SAP installation (Solution Manager 4.0) and started the installation. SAP requires a 1.4.2 SDK even though Java 1.5 comes with Solaris 10. The 1.4.2 SDK is in /usr/j2se. The installation in the sparse zone errors out because it can't get "write" rights to /usr/j2se/jre/lib/security/local_policy.jar as it is trying to install some security encryption JCE component.
I have thought about creating a /usr/j2se_zonename file system, copying the contents of /usr/j2se into it and then mounting /usr/j2se_zonename in the zone as a lofs with the name /usr/j2se. However when I do the copy of /usr/j2se I get some recursion errors.
Any thoughts about how to add a writable /usr/j2se into the sparse zone with the least amount of effort ? Otherwise plan B would be to create a "large" zone with a writable /usr directory.
Received a great answer, that while it may not be architecturally "pure" it may get the job done.
You might just download the relevant JDK tarball and unpack that
somewhere in your zone (anywhere you like), and point SAP at it...
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
Get the one called "self extracting file"-- you can unpack that anywhere
you want.

Hi Russ,
no you only have to generate two RFCs to your R/3 and assign them in SMSY to for system monitoring
Then you need a Solution, assign your R/3 to the Solution, setup the system monitoring.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Q) Can Oracle 11g Release 2 RAC be installed on Solaris (x86)??yes, you can Install it on Solaris X86
Q) Can the links of Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base?? As i haven't seen any doc for installing 11g RAC on Solaris, where as it was provided in Oracle 10g.yes, you need to consider Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base as base document.

Dear all,
We are in the process of installtion of 10g RAC on solaris.
As far as i studied,
OCFS cannot be used in Solaris
Only 3rd party cluster file system can be used
if no 3 party cluster file system can be used,we have to use ASM
Is there any other options for this ?
