10g Extended RAC with Symantec/Veritas

Hi,
Do you know any solution for an active-active 10g extended RAC using Symantec/Veritas Storage Foundation ?
I've seen some active-pasive solutions using Veritas/Symantec GCO and VVR but we would want that the extended node can be online and do some workload.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Jose

You might take campus cluster into your consideration. (2 SFRAC clusters + VxVM Mirror)
Or you can also consitder : 2 SFRAC clusters + GCO + Logical Oracle dataguard.
Thanks.

How to upgade Oracle from 9.2 on SUN to Oracle 10g R2 RAC on Oracle EL4

Hi all,
I have production database Oracle 9i EE Release 9.2.0.5.0 - 64bit on SunOS 5.9 cca 100GB. I would like to upgrade Oracle 10g Relase2 RAC with 2 nodes on Oracle Enterprise Linux. Database availability is 24x7 and system breakdown must be minimal. Upgrade could be done in several independent steps. What is the best form of upgrade realisation?
Thx for some idea

My 2 cents:
1. de-RAC 9i on solaris
2. upgrade to 10g on solaris (why? take advantage of datapump, much faster than exp/imp)
3. expdp from 10g solaris
4. create single instance 10g on linux
5. impdp on linux
Please note there are a number of issues with 9ir2.10gr2 upgrade (check metalink for details).

10g R2 RAC on Solaris 10 with EMC Storage

We are in the process of setting up 3/4 node RAC with the following components:
Oracle 10g R2 RAC
Oracle Clusterware / Sun Cluster / Veritas Cluster
Sun Solaris 10
EMC storage
ASM/Cluster FS
I would appreciate if some one can through some light on:
* ) Veritas cluster / Sun Cluster is must component or Can I use Oracle clusterware ? what are the advantages and disadvantages of using Oracl clusterware compare with varitas cluster or sun cluster
* ) Is cluster filesystem a compulsory component or Can I use ASM instead of Cluster File system.
* ) If I don't use cluster filesystem where to put CRS repository and voting disk ?
* ) What is best option for Oracle_Home, is it shared oracle home or sepereate oracle_home on each node ?
* ) Are there any known risks invovled in using ASM. How is the I/O performance with ASM on EMC with Solaris ? Are there any best practices
* ) Is GigE okay for interconnect or do I need to go for Infiniband ?
* ) Is there any notes on Best practices for the above components
*) Do I need to consider fail over option for NIC's (interconnect and public), if yes, how to do that ?
*) Are there any other risks do I need to consider ?
Thanks

Hi,
I see lot of good input. I have done few RAC installs on sun/solaris/emc ...
Here are few things to consider.
* ) Veritas cluster / Sun Cluster is must component or Can I use Oracle clusterware ? what are the advantages and disadvantages of using Oracl clusterware compare with varitas cluster or sun cluster
Just stay with Oracle Clusterware. If there are any issues then you only have to deal with one vendor and there will be no finger pointing. In any case Oracle Clusterware is needed even if you install Veritas/Sun.
* ) Is cluster filesystem a compulsory component or Can I use ASM instead of Cluster File system.
For the database you can use ASM. The only time I have considered a cluster filesystem is if external tables were in use.
When you use ASM you need to partition the disk with 1 meg offset or start at cyclinder 1.
* ) If I don't use cluster filesystem where to put CRS repository and voting disk ?
OCR and Voting Disk go on raw devices.
* ) What is best option for Oracle_Home, is it shared oracle home or sepereate oracle_home on each node ?
Install ORACLE_HOME, ASM_HOME and CRS_HOME locally on each server.
* ) Are there any known risks invovled in using ASM. How is the I/O performance with ASM on EMC with Solaris ? Are there any best practices
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/asm/pdf/asm-on-emc-5_3.pdf
We have always installed 2 HBAs and used powerpath.
* ) Is GigE okay for interconnect or do I need to go for Infiniband ?
For a majority of cases gigE is sufficient.
* ) Is there any notes on Best practices for the above components
Have redundancy at each level.
*) Do I need to consider fail over option for NIC's (interconnect and public), if yes, how to do that ?
You can use IPMP. Use large send/receive buffers. Enable Jumbo Frames.
We had to apply some patches.

10g Grid (RAC) on Linux with ASM and OCR?

I was trying to install 10g on Linux with ASM. The docs are not terribly clear on this, but I'd like to have the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) on one of my four ASM disks, rather than dedicate space to OCFS. I have 4 18.2 GB drives setup with ASM now. Is there a way to do this?
I guess the other thing I could do is to cut the ASM disks into two partitions. One, say 200MB and the other the rest. I'd put OCFS for OCR on the 200MB partition on one of the disks. The large partition on each of the rest of the disks would be dedicated to ASM.
What am I missing? I feel it must be something obvious. I'd rather have the OCR on the ASM, so that I don't have to deal with it...
Thanks!
Jeff

Hi.
There shouldn't be a problem with this provided you use a 32-bit OS on the 64 bit machine. RAC doesn't care about the chipset, so long as the same OS is used, but I don't thinkit will support one node on 32 bit and one on 64 bit, since they are actually separate distributions.
Of course, I've never tried it so I can't be sure :)

Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM+RAC

Gurus,
Need some suggestuon on Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM and RAC option.
We have found many documents on the Oracle, HP, HP-Oracle CTC and third party web sites, but nothing that is specific to this particular combination of separate
ORACLE_HOMEs, ASM and 10g RAC CRS. It is unclear for me from the documentation how this combination of ASM and 10.2g RAC may best be installed.
The high level steps i got after reading lot of docs as follows - but i am not sure whether these are correct or not. if they are correct, can any one share their experience/notes please?
1) Install CRS
2) Install RDBMS for ASM HOME - create separater oracle home for ASM instance using OUI
3) Install RDBMS for RAC Database Home - create separater oracle home for RAC database using OUI
4) Create ASM database using DBCA -
5) Use dbca to create database.

Oracle provides 'paint by numbers' tutorials called 'Oracle By Example'. (Go to OTN, check under the Training tab)
They have one for a Windows based ASM/RAC that you might want to review. Not your specific environment, but the steps will be dag-nabbed close.
I recommend walking the path (http://otn.oracle.com >> training:OBE >> Database 10g Release 1:VMWare:Installation

Database upgrade - Oracle 10g r2 ,RAC(2 Nodes with ASM) upgrade from HP-UX to RHEL 5.9

Hi All
I am planning to upgrade our RAC database 2 nodes with ASM from HP-UX to RHEL 5.9.
Following is our setup
Current setup:
Oracle Database 10g r2 (10.2.0.5.0) RAC database.
Nodes: 2
Storage: ASM
OS: HP-UX ia64
Database Size: 1.2 TB
New Setup:
Oracle Database 10g r2(10.2.0.5.0) RAC database
Nodes: 2
Storage: ASM
OS: RHEL 5.9 x86 64
Since we are moving from a big endian format to a small endian format(HP-UX to RHEL 5.9) the same ASM cannot be used.
Kindly help me with process and other important documents to be followed.
Thanks.

Hi...
If it was a standlone database concepts like transportable tablespaces, rman would have been convenient.
Since we are using a RAC database with ASM as storage how do we use these techniques specified in NOTE:733205.1
Due to endianness issue we cannot use the same ASM instance.
Along with the new RAC node install a new ASM instance would have to be created.
Kindly help me with migration for RAC with existing ASM to new Hardware
Thanks and Regards

Using ASSM in 10g RAC with SAP

Hi,
It is recommended to use ASSM (Automatic Segment Space Management) with using 10g RAC with SAP. Our deployment is currently a single instance database that is not using ASSM. We plan to convert this single instance database to a 10g RAC database. I wanted to know what the supported method is to convert to ASSM, during this process.
Will it require an export and import of the database?
Thanks

Hi Badar,
of course you can move tables (w/o longs) via ALTER TABLE MOVE... but why do you may want to do that?
ALTER TABLE MOVE is an OFFLINE action - nobody can access the table during the move.
DBMS_REDEFINITION (used by the BRTOOLS) is ONLINE. Normal work can proceed while the data is copied.
With ALTER TABLE MOVE you've to touch every single table (ca 50.000-80.000 in a SAP installation) by hand. PLUS you've to rebuild each index on each table by hand.
The BRTOOLS do all that for you. In parallel if you want to.
Moreover the BRTOOLS provide extensive logging in case any error should occur. ALTER TABLE MOVE does not.
So better forget about ALTER TABLE MOVE... use the BRTOOLS - they are not that bad
best regards,
Lars

Does managing Oracle 10g RAC with ASM require full root access?

We currently have three entirely separate support areas, Unix, Storage and DBA. We're now considering using Oracle 10g RAC with ASM and as part of the assessment trying to work out if we can still draw similar support boundaries. I know that installing RAC and configuring ASM requires root access but will DBA continue to need root access to manage & support RAC? If so, does anyone know if the commands they need can be RBAC'd or if we just need to share root access going forwards. I've had a look at a number of docs including http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/toc.htm. which is fairly informative but none of them seem to mention the requirement for root access on Solaris. I'm guessing they just assume that it's available, but that's not generally the case in our environment.
All advice / info welcome!

I would have thought that the only reason you would need root access once RAC and ASM had been set up would be to add more disks to the ASM configuration. This would be needed to change the ownership on the raw LUNs or to make additions to metasets (SVM/Oban) or diskgroups (VxVM/CVM). Beyond that, I can't imagine needing root access.
I'm sure others will chime in if they can think of other reasons!
Regards,
Tim

11i Rapid Clone Not Certified With 10g/11g RAC???

Metalink document 230672.1, "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone" was updated Feb. 2009 with the following:
February 04, 2009
- Added 11i/10g/11g RAC clarification on Section 4 Steps 6 and 7.
- Corrected incorrect format statements.
The clarification?
Attention: The following steps apply only for 9i RAC Clusters. Rapid Clone is not certified for Cloning 11i with 10g or 11g RAC Systems at this time.
10g RAC support for EBS has existed for quite a while, what's up with this? I'm in the middle of upgrading my 11i EBS on 9i RAC environments to 10gR2 RAC.
Anyone cloning 11i with 10g/11g RAC? How are you doing it?
Disgusted,
Jerry

Take a look Doc ID: 230672.1 on Metalink Section 6 talks about Cloning a RAC system
If you're trying to search for anything on EBS look for Applications 11i, because most docs refer to it as Applications 11i more often then EBS.

Experiences with Oracle 10g/11g RAC on VMWare Fusion for Macbook and OEL 5

Folks,
I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro laptop computer to use for demos and testing with Oracle RAC. I am using VMWare Fusion for Mac OS X to setup new VM machines with Oracle 11g.
Thus far, I can setup single instance Oracle 11g database fine with OEL 5 (32 bit OS) as the guest OS. The problem that I keep running into due to the limitation with VMWare Fusion product is that I am not able to edit the VMWare network settings to allow multiple VM machines to communicate with each other. The second main issue that I currently face is that VMWare Fusion does not allow you to setup shared disks which are a requirement to install and configure an Oracle RAC environment. I came to the realization that after searching forums online that
one must setup a third VM machine to act as an NFS or iSCSI filer system to present to the other VM hosts for the shared storage requirement for RAC. Has anyone been able to do all
of this successfully with VMWare Fusion on a Macbook ? If so, I would definitely be interested in finding out how you did this. Specifically the following:
1. Network configuration for each VMWare Fusion guest OS machine
2. Shared storage ie) NFS or OpenFiler VM machine

RMAN Backup error with Symantec Backup Tool

Hi
My Environment
OS Windows server 2003 R2
Oracle 10G R2 10.2.03 2 node RAC
When i am taking backup maually in the command prompt with RMAN, it is successful, but when we are trying from Symantec Backup tool we are getting errors like
RMAN 03002 failur of Backup lus archivelog is problem,
RMAN 10015 error compiling PL/SQL programme
RMAN 10033 error during compilation of job step2
Ora 00603 Oracle server session terminate by fatal error.
Ora 004030 out of process memory when trying to allocate 4120 bytes(pl/sql) MPCODE,BAMMA, BAM Buffer)
So please tell me why its giving the error with Symatntec and why when i am doing manually it is successfull.
What could be the solution, please we are taking daily and weekly backups with Symantec on HP tape library. Please suggest me to the needful.
Immediate reply highly apperciated
Thanks

Hello,
Ora 00603 Oracle server session terminate by fatal error.
Ora 004030 out of process memory when trying to allocate 4120 bytes(pl/sql) MPCODE,BAMMA, BAM Buffer) The ORA-04030 error message is interesting. It means that the OS doesn't have enough memory for Oracle.
So you may monitore the Memory usage of the Server during the Symantec Backup, and check for any activity. May be the Symantec Backup runs when other Batch Jobs use already a lot of memory . You may also have to extend the RAM of the Server.
Also, check for the RMAN script used by Symantec and compare with the "manual" script. May be, some options are used with Symantec and consume more resources on the Server.
Hope this help.
Best regards,

Any Benefits of Extended RAC Over Data Guard?

Hi,
My company is in the process of setting a second data center, a bit far from the current one (about 20 KM).
This Data Center will be used as a DR site, as well as to accommodate additional servers since the current Data Center is already stretched.
We're currently running about 5 RAC clusters, two nodes each on Oracle 11g and on AIX plaforms. It's not yet decided what type of technology will be employed with the databases - whether RAC with Data Guard (DG) or Extended RAC.The network link will be fairly good, a dark fiber link.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to which of the above technology would be preferable? With Extended RAC I think we are able to continue operating from the second site without needing to 'failover' as such, while with DG, we probably will need to put in place an elaborate failover procedure, even though we can use the Fast-Start-Automatic failover feature of 10g Rel2 and above.
Any thoughts/suggestions/clarifications?

Hi Dula,
Even some time back we were also consdering the same to use remote DG for disaster recovery solution (active-passive) to create extended RAC on a remote site and then make use of those remote servers for the purpose of disaster reocovery and also make those servers connect to the PROD application servers thus making a (active-active) clustering solution.
Management wanted to look into the feasibility of using active-active nodes on remote sites which they thought will help them make use of remote servers to connect to the LIVE applicatio. With the active-passive mode where there was just standby servers in recovery mode on remote site they were of the opinion that why to waste power for remote servers and why not use them in LIVE site.
We thought of using the dense optic fiber for the DB replication to remote RAC nodes and also for our 30+ application servers to connect from site 1 to site 2( site 2 will be remote site with extented rac nodes hosted).
However there were many reservations that came which making decission. First was that we could not find any reliable source of group who had successfully implemented this active-active remote extended rac nodes in production. The cost of dense optic fiber was another consideration. How the interconnects will perform in remote sites was another grey area for us. Also since the application servers uses TAF to connect to DB servers it was not known that how the sessions from the same application servers(web based applications) to local and remote nodes will have performance impact. With so many grey areas we dropped the idea of using extended rac nodes and went ahead with DG solution.

Issues while installing ORACLE 10g R2 RAC on RHEL 5.3

i am installing oracle 10g R2 RAC on RHEL 5.3 in a test environment. my aim was to install using ASM.
i went through the pre-requisites ok before beginning with the installation.
since RHEL 5.3 doesnt support raw devices i used

udev to configure shared storage. my storage is on openfiler as a iSCSI target.
fdisk -l on both nodes shows the shared drives.

did you check this

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b28263/storage.htm#CDEBFDEH
also before you do what is suggested on the url posted by Mufalani,
it seems that you should do the following:
Check existence of udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
On RH/EL5, udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules should exist by default as part of the util-linux package, for example:
# ls /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rulesCreate a custom udev raw mapping rule file, /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules say, for example:
# touch /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules3b. Add udev raw binding rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file
Add the udev raw binding rules to the /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file, for example:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules
# Raw bind to Oracle Clusterware devices

Note, the script does not factor device name persistency.
#!/bin/bash
