10g RAC HBA and Interconnect Adapters

Hi,
I am setting up an Oracle 10g RAC environment on two Sun 220R servers. The shared storage system will be a an EMC Clarion SAN (CX600/CX700 model drives). I have two questions below.
'Supported Interconnects' and 'Public Networks' certified configuration adapters include '... and SunSwift(tm) adapters'. Does this mean any/all SunSwift adapter? Specifically I am looking at the 'Quad GigaSwift ethernet UTP adapter'.
I have not seen any configuration include certified HBA adapters. Does this imply so long as Sun is happy with it, Oracle 10g RAC will be happy with it as well?
Many thanks in advance,
Jack.

Sorry for the late reply, but the interface to pick is the clprivnet0. This load-balances over the available private interconnects under the covers and so does not represent a single point of failure.

  • 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.

  • 10g rac deinstall and 11.2.0.3 rac installation on aix 6.1

    Hi,
    I have to perform deinstallation of 2 node 10g rac on aix and on same setup i need to install 2 node 11.2.0.3 rac on aix 6.1.
    As being a newbie in this please guide me from where to find the exact documentation for the same.
    Also, In linux we need to install oracleasm rpm, In AIX do we need the same?
    Thanks.

    Following are the OS requirement for Oracle 11gr2 installation on AIX

    Thanks,
    -ZubairYou have to use 11G Clusterware , if you want to use 11g Database and you can use 10g Database as well.
    (You can not use 10g Clusterware and 11g Clusterware on the same host...)
    But you can use 10g Database and 11g Database on the same host, But you have to use 11G Clusterware.

  • 10g RAC - should I use RAW, OCFS and/or ASM ?

    I am about to install 10G RAC on RHAS3. Options for sharing disk partitions are raw, OCFS and ASM. The OCR and voting files must be raw or OCFS, I would tend to go for OCFS in this case. For the Oracle datafiles, again, I would tend to go for OCFS simply for ease of management since ASM seems to add another layer of complexity, and raw lacks flexibility. OCFS however is also new technology and may still have some stability issues. I'm not yet sure of our disk configuration, but there will be HBA cards in each machine with one or two SAN partitions, so I don't expect some of the ASM features such as mirroring etc. will be required as this will be done in the hardware. Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences(good or bad) in which way to go ?
    Philip

    We're using raw partitions for some years now, (since oracle 8i, then 9i and now 10g). It is quite flexible, but you shouldn't use physical partitions but LVM. It's very stable.
    Now on 10g we're using ASM on some sites where mirroring is needed. It works, but not so stable as raw. we discover some bugs as well.
    We've never used OCFS. I don't like it. To much limits. I belive that special utilities are needed for managing files. I don't like linux system software produced by oracle.

  • Oracle 10g RAC - Private Interconnect on Private non-routable VLAN

    In our data center there is an existing Oracle 10g RAC configured with private VLAN for Interconnect administered by a different group of DBAs.
    We are designing a new, separate Oracle 10g RAC environment to support our application.
    When we discussed with our data center folks to set up a private VLAN for our RAC Interconnect, they suggest to use the same existing Private VLAN used by other Oracle RAC configurations. In that case the Interconnect IPs will be on the same subnet as other Oracle RAC configurations.
    For example, if
    RAC1 with 2 nodes is using 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 in the VLAN_1 for the Interconect, they want us to use the same VLAN_1 with Interconnect IPs 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.4 for our 2 node RAC.
    Is Sharing same subnet on the same Private VLANs for interconnects of different RAC configurations supported?
    Will that cause any performance hit? That means the Interconnect IPs of One RAC configuration is pingable from other RAC configuration.
    Did anyone come across such a design?
    Could not find any info on this on Metalink.
    Thanks

    yes
    this is practically very much feasible.. as you would have only 4 m/c in ip subnet .... and this is very much less than the public subnet which we should refrain from using from interconnect.

  • Need to change IP address and host name on a ORACLE 10g RAC setup.

    Hi Forum,
    I have a task to change the IP address, host name and host related details for the ORACLE 10g RAC 2 node setup. So Can anyone tell me the procedure to do the same on both the nodes.
    Regards
    Prakash

    change IP Address Public + VIP + Interconnect
    http://surachartopun.com/2007/01/i-want-to-change-ip-address-on-oracle.html
    change VIP name
    http://surachartopun.com/2009/01/change-vip-hostname-on-oracle-rac.html
    If you'd like to change HOSTNAME... Metalink (NOTE:220970.1)
    Can I change the public hostname in my Oracle Database 10g Cluster using Oracle Clusterware?
    Hostname changes are not supported in Oracle Clusterware (CRS), unless you want to perform a deletenode followed by a new addnode operation.
    The hostname is used to store among other things the flag files and Oracle Clusterware stack will not start if hostname is changed.
    Changing the Private Interconnect
    o Change of the IP Address: change the IP address in the hosts file and/or DNS and make sure that ASM and the database also use the same interconnect
    o Change of the private node name used by Oracle Clusterware: requires a reinstall of Oracle Clusterware
    So, Public or Private hostnames can only be changed by removing/adding nodes, or reinstalling Oracle Clusterware. VIP Hostnames can be changed
    But you can read this idea (reinstall CRS)

  • Using Clob with TopLink 9.0.4.5 and Oracle 10g RAC

    I am trying to store an XML file in a Clob type field of a DB table using TopLink 9.0.4.5 and Oracle 10g RAC and need some guidance about how to do it. I got some directions to start it with the Tip "How-To: Map Large Objects (LOBs) to Oracle Databases with OracleAS TopLink" but still need some more helps.
    When using the Oracle JDBC OCI driver, the tip gives the code block for a Clob field:
    DirectToField scriptMapping = new DirectToField();
    scriptMapping.setAttributeName("script");
    scriptMapping.setFieldName("IMAGE.SCRIPT");
    descriptor.addMapping(scriptMapping);
    As I understand, TopLink creates instances of the Descriptor class at run time for each of the descriptor files and stores them in a database session, where is the proper place (in SessionEvent of TopLinkSessionEventHandler?) for me to get a reference to such an instance of my Descriptor class in Java code so that I can add the above mentioned additional Mapping? Are the above String values of "script" and "IMAGE.SCRIPT" predefined in TopLink API? Can I accomplish the same thing just using the TopLink Workbench tool instead? If yes, please advise the detailed steps to do so.
    The tip also states to call the following code in case of using Clob:
    DatabaseLogin login = session.getLogin();
    login.useStringBinding();
    Should the above 2 lines of code be called after the following lines of code?
    SessionManager sessionManager = SessionManager.getManager();
    Server serverSession = (Server)sessionManager.getSession("MY_SESSION_NAME");
    Besides the above extra coding for the Session and Descriptor Mapping, is there any special handling in between Data model and DB table mapping? Can I map a Java String type to a DB Clob field using the Direct-to-field mapping?
    Appreciate any help.

    Never mind ....... I had already figured it out .....

  • Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

    Hi all,
    I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
    for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
    My question is this:
    How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
    I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
    I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
    Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
    So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
    Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

  • Asm, instance and service failing to start 10g rac redhat el5

    hi,
    i have been following a how to guide from oracle's website about implementing a 10g rac system using el5 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.html), by the end of the installation and setup I had both the nodes up and running and all services were up and running.

    Check ASM resource:
    crs_stat -p "resource_name
    $ crs_stat | grep NAME\= | grep ASM1
    NAME=ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
    $ crs_stat -p ora.rac01.ASM1.asm

    DESCRIPTION=CRS application for ASM instance
    What do you see AUTO_START?
    if 1 = auto start:
    or check error ASM while start... at ASM_HOME/log/rac01/racg/*
    If AUTO_START=2
    Oracle Clusterware is configured to start the VIP, listener, instance, ASM, database services and other resources during system boot. Starting with 10.1.0.4, it is possible to modify some resources to have their profile parameter AUTO_START set to the value 2. This means that after node reboot, or when Oracle Clusterware is started, resources with AUTO_START=2 will need to be started manually via srvctl. Please work with Oracle Support if you need to modify this attribute.
    If AUTO_START=2 and need to change to 1:
    Example:
    $ crs_stat -p ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
    NAME=ora.rac01.ASM1.asm
    TYPE=application
    ACTIVE_PLACEMENT=0

  • Differance between Oracle 9i RAC and 10g RAC

    Hello,
    I am almost new to RAC. I have worked on Oracle 9i RAC since longtime back. Now I am trying to find what is difference between Oracle 9i and 10g RAC structure ? Before it was CM and now it's clusterware. But what it makes different ? Any good explanation or web link.
    thanks
    ~Keyur
    null

    The main difference is 10g RAC is almost completely platform independent, and 9i RAC isn't.
    This means it has changed tremendously.
    As 9i is desupported I wouldn't spend any time in 9i RAC if you have yet to learn it.

  • 10g RAC remote monitoring and services question.

    IF I plan to offer one of my clients remote Dba services for 10g RAC- Standard Edition....do you necessarily have to use ASM to do so or is that just the Oracle push and I can actually use other file systems like Linux ext3, etc?
    And if I have to use ASM how hard should it be for my Dba's to train themselves on it?
    any help is appreciated.

    From metalink
    Can I use OCFS with SE RAC?
    It is not supported to use OCFS with Standard Edition RAC. All database files must use ASM (redo logs, recovery area, datafiles, control files etc). We recommend that the binaries and trace files (non-ASM supported files) to be replicated on all nodes. This is done automatically by install.
    Modified: 01-SEP-04 Ref #: ID-5748
    And it's easy to manage those files, I think your DBAs just reading the doc can do that.
