10g RAC database: instances fail after a few days...

Im afraid I'm new to Oracle, so assume total ignorance when replying!
We have two servers, db1 and db2 running Oracle under Windows 2K3 web edition [SP1].
Both have a shared Direct Attached Storage disk, over a Scsi fibre connection.
The database is set up using instructions found online for RAC.
Either instance will stop, and the other will take over, after a few days. The problem is, we aren't using the database yet. [There isn't a problem with it, the development people have checked that they can use the database.]
The two errors [found using the EM console] which seem to be relevant are:
'Metrics "Database Time Spent Waiting (%)" is at 100 for event class "other"'
and 'Failed to connect to database instance ... TNS no listener'.
[Which is obvioulsly the failure]
I have scoured the web, and the rather dense reference books for Oracle I have access to, and to no avail.
Another contributing factor is the 'WMI Performance Adaptor' stops and starts on both machines every thirty seconds.
Any response/guidlines/advise would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies if I have started this thread in the wrong place!

SQL Azure sync service-- absurdly slow and fails after a few days

Hello. We have been trying to use Azure Data Sync to replicate an on-premise MSSQL database to an SQL Azure database for read-only access by a customer. This was working for a while, but stopped syncing after a couple months(12hr auto-sync schedule) with
no errors in the log. I had to re-create the sync group, but now it takes even longer than originally to try to sync, and never actually completes, as it gets interrupted by bi-weekly server restarts... It used to take a few hours to sync the new data in our
database(which is appended to daily)-- but this time it fails after 4+ days... It was unacceptably slow initially(IMO), but now it's clearly unusable. The original initialization of the data when I first set it up was less than 2 days of syncing.
It seems there is a throttle on the Azure sync service. Is this true? Would it be best to clear the SQL Azure database now and re-sync? Is there a way to pre-load the SQL Azure database with MSSQL on-premise data via a SQL backup file or something?
Please advise. Thank you.

when you re-created the sync group, does the member databases/hub database have pre-existing data?
when synching a sync group for the first time, make sure databases don't contain the same set of data, otherwise, you will run into conflicts which will completely slow down your sync...
I deleted the initial sync group because it wasn't syncing(auto or on-demand), nor creating a log entry with an error indicating why.
So, I simply deleted the sync group and re-created it with the same exact databases and settings. I did not delete all data in the SQL Azure database-- I was under the assumption that the sync service, with the tracking tables were smart enough to not get
confused with pre-existing data, but apparently that's not how this works?
I obviously can't delete the data in the source database(MSSQL on-premise), but I could delete the tables in the SQL Azure database if that's supposed to fix the problem-- then we'll just have to wait multiple days for it to be completely re-initialized,
hopefully without error... Is there a way to seed the data in some way to prevent this extremely log first sync?
Thank you for your help.

NIC ROUTER requirement for 10g RAC database

I need to know what hardware to order in setting up an 10g RAC database without a single-point-of-failure. My question centers on the networks. If each server has one NIC for the public interface and one NIC for the private interconnect, aren't the routers these NICs are attached to a single point of failure? If each server has two NICs bonded together for the public interface and two NICs bonded together for the private interconnect, does each NIC attach to a different router?

is RDMA and infiband ar same??Infiniband is a switched fabric layer for high speed communication. RDMA is a protocol for "+remote direct memory access+".
Infiniband supports the Internet Protocol suite over Infiniband, or IPoIB. It also supports RDMA over Infiniband.
so do we need only infiband SDR / QDR switch to set infiband OR what else??You need an Infiniband switch - Cisco and Voltaire are two companies that supply this type of hardware. The latter is used by Oracle in its Exadata database machines. Unsure about Cisco's commitment to Infiniband switches as they have discontinued their Infiniband switches with integrated fibre channel gateways. A sore point with us after we bought into this technology about 2 years ago, in part on their very own recommendations - and now own very expensive, somewhat buggy and totally unsupported hardware. Seems like the new Cisco California servers are GigE and not Infiniband, which perhaps explain this (flawed) decision of theirs...
For each cluster node, you need an Infiniband PCI card (typically has 2 ports). If you are going to use bonding, you will need a pair of Infiniband cables per server. Also remember to get spares - both PCI cards and cables.
If you want redundancy at the switch, you need to get yourself 2 Infiniband switches.
But if you're planning to invest this into a RAC cluster, then surely you should also invest money in RAC licensing and support - and with that gain access to very useful documentation like the RAC Starter Kit and so on.

How to start Oracle 10g RAC database and clusterware?

I have steps to stop the 10g RAC Database and clusterware but not sure about starting it.
I have heard executing
$crsctl stop crs --as root
on each node
will start the database,asm,nodeapps .Is that true?
or we have to do that step by step like we do in stopping the clusterware and database below
1.Stop the agent:
cd to $AGENT_HOME/corpng04.amhc.amhealthways.net/bin, then run: ./emctl stop agent
2.Stop the full database
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop database -d db_name
3.Stop the ASM Instances on node1,node2
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop asm -n node -- I guess you can't give multiple nodes in one command with comma,you need to give this multiple times with diff node name
4.Stop the NodeApps :vip,listener,oms and gsd
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop nodeapps -n node -- I guess you can't give multiple nodes in one command with comma,you need to give this multiple times with diff node name
5.Stop the CRS cluster processes :those bloody 3 evmd,ocssd,crsd
$su - root
$CRS_home/bin/crsctl stop crs

Paul R @ NL wrote:
before is shutting down crs i tend to stop the instances and services via srvctl then stop crs via crsctl
just the way i do it. not saying it's the right way but it is the one i am comfortable with.Good -) If we stop CRS, but forgot shutdown oracle instances ... we'll see shutdown abort in alert log file(that mean instances are shutdowned abort).
We should shutdown instance before stop CRS anyway.

Http get requests fail after a few weeks

All,
I have a get request to a servlet that works for a few weeks, then it will suddenly stop.
I change the code once, works,then it will fail after a few weeks.
I change the code again, works, then it will fail after a few weeks.
Servlet works like: send one request, wait, then send a second.

You appear to have empty catch blocks. Which means you don't get the error message that would tell you what is failing.
Put in code that logs the exception and the stack trace of the exception. If you can't figure out the error message, post it here.
You should be closing streams in finally statements. Otherwise they might not get closed when there is an error -> you leak descriptors -> you run out of descriptors -> every stream open will fail -> more errors -> more descriptors get leaked -> etc -> everything stops working. Always do it like this:
    WhateverStream out = null;
    try {
        out = ...;
        ...use out...;
    } finally {
        try {
            if (out != null) out.close();
       } catch (IOException e) { ...log it... }
    }

Jerricayoung,
you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

My macbook pro shut off for a few days now after a few days that i tried turning it on it finally turned on its been doing this often what might be the problem?

So my macbook pro turns off and i try to turn it on but it wont turn on then after a few days it turns back on. its been doing this alot sometimes it turns on after a few days sometimes it turns on after a few hours but i dont know what might be wrong

Purchased music skips after a few days

My iPod skips my iTunes' purchased music after a few days. When I connect my iPod to the iMac again the songs are back on my iPod but only for a couple of days.
Can some of you help me out to solve this problem?

The same thing happens to me, and unfortunately, it almost always seems to happen at the worst times (getting on a long plane flight.)
I've done a lot of research on this topic in the Apple Discussions groups, and have tried all the suggested remedies:
(1) Re-setting ipod
(2) Re-loading music
(3) Updating firmware, software
Net/net, when you update your iPod, and connect to iTunes, or do any of above, it will work for a little while, and then it will just start skipping purchased music again.
I believe this must be result of defective players, or bug in some of players, as not everyone has this problem (my wife's works fine) - but based on number of comments re. this problem I see on this forum, many people do, and Apple should offer exchange.

Remote control stops working after a few days

NW 6 SP3
ZFD 3.2 SP2
After importing workstations, remote control works fine. After a few
days, remote ping might work but NOT remote control. Sometimes even remote ping errors out with the message that the "REMOTE MANAGEMENT
AGENT
IS NOT RUNNING"(when it appears it is). If I stop and start the
"novell
wuser agent" service, then I can usually remote control the
workstation
again. Occasionally, however, I get the message "The Remote
Management
agent was unable to locate the workstation in NDS". At which point I
have
to delete the workstation object and re-import the workstation to be
able
to remote control it again.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a different server for each site(city) hosting the import
services. There is only one variable allowed in DNS so all sites
would
try to get services and register to the same server.
Using the container login script for each site to set the /s parameter
was
easier than changing the registry setting for each
workstation...especially if that server changed. This way I would
only
have to change it one place.
If the workstation has already been registered and imported AND I can
remote control it, does it NEED to find the import server again if it
hasn't been rebooted since the last time I remote controlled it?
Thanks, jg

Flash player stops working after a few days.

I updated to FF4 and after a few days, strange things started happening. How do I recover to normal?

I updated to FF4 and after a few days, strange things started happening.
The groups I had set up disappeared and the Group button is gone.
When I first open the app, it opens 8 - 12 separate windows with 1 blank tab. The orange Firefox button is there with nothing else on that bar. Also, 3 tool bars are blank (i.e. space is there but it's just grey) with NO buttons.
If I want my previously opened tabs, I have to use the "Recently Closed windows" option to get back to where I was when I last closed down. The orange Firefox button is missing from this window but all the original menu items are back across the top.
So how do I get back to the way it is supposed to operate?
