Hi All,
I am planning to setup "Oracle 10g RAC setup on Solaris using vmware", but I am strucked up at installation of Soaris 10 in VMWare.
Can any body please help/provide me the document on Solaris 10 installation for RAC setup .
The main problems I am having during the SOlaris 10 setup is
1) Setting up the static public and private addresses required for RAC
2) Partitioning the disk space.
Thanks in advance,

Problem Oracle10G Installation in Solaris-x86

Hai,
I am facing problem when installing Oracle10g on solaris machine.

Exception:
Starting Oracle Universal Installation...
Checking Installation requirements...
Checking Operating System version :

failed <<<<
exsting oracle universal installer.log for this session can be found at /tmp/orainstaller/datetime....
I am using ---
Oracle version : Oracle Database 10g Release 1(10.1.0.3) for Solaris x86
Solaris Version : Solaris 5.10
can any one help me out from this problem....
Thanks in advance ....
-Lakesh

Oracle 10G release 1 only support up to Solaris 9.
You probably need to install 10G release 2. The second release of major Oracle version is always more stable anyway.

Installation Of Solaris In VMware

Hi,
I have a query.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of running any operating system (for eg: SOLARIS) in VMWARE(virtual machine) running on other Operating System(for eg: Windows XP).

I would suggest that you simply lump / and /usr together into at least an 8-10GB space. This assumes that you are installing an entire distribution cluster (SUNWCall or SUNWCXall). I have built some security hardened loads that require < 2GB and I'm sure I could get the footprint smaller if I had to.
I don't recall the size of an entire distribution on x86, but thought it was around 5GB for Solaris 10 for combined root and /usr.
Cheers,

User equivalence check failure in oracle10g RAC installation on solaris

Hi,
i am trying to install oracle clusterware on solaris10.
when i executed clusture varification utility , user equivalence test is failed.
each node have same username,userid,group id
and i configured SSH also using
exec /user/bin/ssh-agent
/usr/bin/ssh-add after generation of rsa and dsa keys and putting this to authorization file.
it is not asking password for ssh and scp after executing this command but again user equivalence check failed
but after logging of and do login again to oracle user its not working. then again i have to set ssh that is
exec /user/bin/ssh-agent
/usr/bin/ssh-add
wat else i have to check for this?
can sombody help me to solve this

$ eval 'ssh-agent'
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-GJAo3653/agent.3653; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=3654; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 3654;
$ /usr/bin/ssh-add
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.What shell are you using?
Back to user equivalence:
1. Ensure that /etc/motd is empty (You can't get some text after login)
2. Ensure that /etc/issue is empty or "Banner /etc/issue" is not set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
3. Ensure that you have stored short hostnames and also FQDN in your known_hosts file
You shouldn't get this type of message: The authenticity of host 'computername (IP)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is ...
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?If you got this message executes commands on both of nodes (as user oracle) as in example:
$ ssh oracle@pc000905
$ ssh [email protected]
$ ssh oracle@pc026376
$ ssh [email protected] Ensure that your RSH is setup correctly.
(OR) In case using of RSH is prohibited in your company (my case) you can use following fake:
a. rename existing rsh binaries (see example below)
b. create symlinks to equivalent ssh utilities (see example below)
c. create symlinks for ssh and rsh (faked rsh) under /usr/local/bin directory
Note: these actions need to be done by root user.
cd /usr/bin
mv rsh rsh_old
mv rcp rcp_old
ln -s /usr/bin/ssh rsh
ln -s /usr/bin/scp rcp
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/bin/ssh ssh
ln -s /usr/bin/ssh rsh
ln -s /usr/bin/scp scp
ln -s /usr/bin/scp rcp

Installation of oracle 10g rac on open solaris for X86 Machine

Hi
Can you please let me know the advantages of installation of oracle 10g rac on open solaris on x86 machine.And also let me know the detail steps involved in instatllation of oracle 10g rac on open solaris on x86. please suggest the recommdendation for the installation
Thanks
Saiprasath

If by "advantages of installation of oracle 10g rac on open solaris on x86 machine" you mean advantages over RAC on Linux or AIX or HP/UX there aren't any.
If you want to know the advantages of RAC over stand-alone they generally relate to:
1. Eliminating the server as a single point of failure
2. Transparent fail-over
2. Incremental horizontal scalability

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup
5. $ sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
6. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 50G scope=both;
7. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='${ ORACLE_BASE}/flash_recovery_ area' scope=both;
8. SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_10='location= use_db_recovery_file_dest';
9. SQL> shutdown immediate
10. SQL> startup nomount
11. SQL> alter database archivelog;
12. SQL> alter database open;
13. SQL> alter database enable block change tracking using file '${ORACLE_BASE}/tracking/rman_ change_track.f';
14. $ rman target /
15. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK
TO '/var/opt/oracle/flash_ recovery_area/ORCL/c_backup/% F';
16. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
17. RMAN> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
18. RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs
LOGFILE=${LOGDIR}/rman.log
if [[ $# < 1 ]]
then
echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
exit;
fi
BACKUPTYPE=${1}
full='FULL'
incremental='INCREMENTAL'
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $incremental ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
backup incremental level 1 database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

Installation of Solaris 8 (x86 Platform Edition

Hi guys,
I have downloaded the Solaris 8 for intel version and burnt them into CDs. (3 CDs). I tried to download the Solaris (x86 Platform Edition) Device Configuration Assistant Boot Diskette, but instead of downloading, it opens in another Internet explorer window. I tried pressing shift while downloading, that doesn't work. And also I tried to boot using the Solaris installation CD for installing, it says cannot boot from CDROM. Please help me. How can I proceed with installation?
With regards,
Amin

Well I had undergone the same problem, what I did was then use Netscape Enterprise Browser, and there is worked just fine, and was able to save the file onto my pc, without it being opening in an another window, so if possible use Netscape Browser and try and see what happens. Hope this helps you.

Vmware for RAC Installation for EBS R12

Hi,
I want to test installing RAC for EBS R12 on vmware. My OS is OEL 5.4
Can you help me setup vmware please? What the the pre-requisites?
Thanks a lot,

Edited by: user_unlimited on Sep 2, 2010 12:22 AM

Hi Msk;
Is vmware for linux applicable to unix/AIX too?
Is there separate version of vmware for AIX? Can you give me links for VMware AIX please...AFAIK for No, i also find this:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1084738 (No AIX runs on the PowerPC chip set, VMware only virtualised i386 instructions, it is virtualisation not emulation.)

Installation error Solaris 10-u6-ga1

I must be missing something really obvious on the installation of Solaris 10 U6. I've come up against the error message upon manually partitioning, and using UFS. After the install the error is:
Solaris 10 10 software installation partially failed
Solaris 10 packages partially installed
SUNWlur
Then at reboot it loops and loops
If I install using ZFS no problem. Unfortunately I have to use UFS for this install.
I pulled down the sol-10-u6-x86-ga1 dvd and installed on an Vmware to see what I'd get. If I manually setup the drive, it fails to with the same error.
Here is my drive layout both sparc server and vmware(x86)
/ = 10 Gb
swap = 10 Gb
/etc = 10 Gb
/usr = 10 Gb
/var = 10 Gb
/export=remaining drive space.
I'm I missing something obvious?
thanks
bill

There should be more information in the install log about why the one package failed. If you search for the package name in the log you should be able find it. Then that might help determine whether the package can be installed on its own, possibly fixing your reboot issue.

Help with oracle 10g install on solaris x86

hi, i downloaded solaris 10 from oracle site (sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso) and i have installed it on vmware. i was going through the installation guide for oracle 10 for solaris x86 and while on the pre-installation steps, i issued this command
# /bin/isainfo -kv
and it gave me
# 64-bit amd64 kernel modules
instead of
# 32-bit i386 kernel modules
as the guide expected.
please what can i do, cos the guide says if i dont see the later, the installation cannot complete.
thnx

First check you Operating System Bit information whether it is 64 or 32 bit , for this first check any of the command path
Example ls command
$ which ls
/usr/sbin/ls
$ file /usr/sbin/ls
It will show you whether your OS is 64 bit or 32 bit and accordingly download the software from below link ,if it is showing 64 bit os then you have to download 64 bit database software .
