10G RAC OCFS on Itanium Linux-64

I've spent the last week setting up four Itanium 64-bit Linux servers with OCFS. No problems...however, when I try to install Oracle 10G, (installing CRS First as described in the manual) I can't get past the Public/Private nodes listing. CRS does Not detect my OCFS so it forces me to manually list the hostnames. As soon i'm done, I get an error that I must provide both public and private names??? which I have done. They are all setup in the /etc/hosts file identically on each node:
[root@sysl098 root]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
172.20.176.102 sysl012 #RAC-NODE-1
172.20.176.103 sysl013 #RAC-NODE-2
172.20.176.104 sysl098 #RAC-NODE-3
172.20.176.105 sysl099 #RAC-NODE-4
10.0.0.2 sysl012-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-1
10.0.0.3 sysl013-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-2
10.0.0.4 sysl098-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-3
10.0.0.5 sysl099-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-4
I'm really at my wits end here... Why doesn't the CRS install detect OCFS when it is configured and shares a filesystem on all four nodes? it's forcing me to list the nodes on the screen, yet it states that I have not done so??
TIA- Joe

ocfs installation is separate from CRS. please try to use the cookbooks published on otn:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/vmware/cookbook/index.html
also in your /etc/hosts file you are missing the VIP ip addresses.
10g requires 3 sets of IP addresses.. public, private and vip (Virtual IP)
good luck.

Oracle 10g RAC on Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4, on 3 HP-DL380 Install Instruc

I am searching for installation assistance (ie install guide) for Setting up an OUL4 RAC Cluster, I have found instructions using a VMserver but am interested in using 3 HP-DL380 machines. Is there a guide detailing such an installation or should I attempt to utilize the VMserver install guide, ignoring the VM references in support of 3 specific machines?
Thank You for any assistance you can provide
NickG

I guess I need to specify that I will be responsible only for the "OS" Side of management and installation of the system. Do I follow the standard installation, of a standard download of Oracle Unbreakable Linux on each of the 3 machines, and then continue with RAC cluster installation as explained in the above link?
Thanks
NickG

Regarding Services in Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
We are having Oracle 10g RAC (10.2) on Linux machines. We don't have any services configured failover. This can be visible from srvctl config database -d, as nothing related services information is displayed.
I even checked failover_type and Failover_method from GV$session and for all it's showing None. We have only default database service (same as database name).
My question is:
Can I modify/configure this default service as failover/loadbalance enabled using srvctl? If so, please let me know.
PS: I can't provide any output here as our client network doesn't permit copying.
Regads,
Kumar

10g RAC - updates immediately reflected (blocks cleared from buffer cache)?

We've recently upgraded to 10g RAC (4 nodes on linux using a netapp filer for storage) and we're seeing some issues with data in our database intermittently looking different than data in our application cache. we're trying to diagnose the issue (app vs. db) and i'm researching any issues with data blocks being cached on a specific node and not being immediately reflected on other nodes? has anyone seen an issue similar to this? i'm not convinced that the problem is in the database given that my research has come up dry but i'm wondering if anyone has seen this?

EBS 11i with 10g RAC - rapid clone

Hi,
I have installed Oracle EBS 11i (11.5.10) with Oracle 10g RAC (two node) on Linux server.
I am using ASM for 10g RAC.
Now I want to rapid clone the EBS to devp server having two node RAC.
Will you pls give me detail steps to perform this cloning?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
DR

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.

10g RAC with linux 3 AS+ocfs

Hi:
Is anyone install 10g RAC on linux 3AS with ocfs successfully?
I am having problem with CRS installation where installer ask to run root.sh. My first node finished root.sh without any problem but not second node it give me "Failure at final check of Oracle CRS stack." error. Moreover, I found "ERROR: clssnmconnect: failed, rc = 3, node samurai (1), (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=racs01-priv1)(PORT=49895))" error in ocssd2.log file. However, I can ping privet and public ip/hostname without any problem. Any input or suggestions are welcome!

Did you ever get a responce to this?
I'm having the very same issue, which I can not find a work around.
Documents for the 10g install have been very few and far between, so any help would be the greatest!

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.

10g RAC on Linux

All,
I am having strange problem while setting up 10g RAC on Linux box. This is two node cluster (rac1 and rac2) Two probelms..
1. When I install CRS on rac1, it copies the files to rac2 and olsnodes -n works fine from both nodes, But when I run runinstaller on node 2 and try to see installed products, I don't see CRS oracle home there on rac2.
2. When I start installing 10g database on rac1 , at third step "Hardware Cluster Installation Mode:" I see my both nodes listed there, but I don't see "SELECT ALL" button on that screen. So when I finish installation, it doesn't copy files to rac2.
Does Anyone has any idea why it is behaving like this?
Thanks
Puneet

Hi,
I found one thing.. If I change ORACLE_HOME location while running OUI, it doesn't give SELECT ALL button , but if I let Installer to select oracle_HOME, it worrks fine and give SELECT ALL button too.
Don't understand why it is behaving like this?

Linux Cluster File System partitions for 10g RAC

Hi Friends,
I planned to install 2 Node Oracle 10g RAC on RHEL and I planned to use Linux File system itself for OCR,Voting Disk and datafiles (no OCFS2/RAW/ASM)
I am having SAN storage.
I would like to know how do i create shared/cluster partitions for OCR,Voting Disk and Datafiles (common storage on SAN).
Do i need to install any Linux cluster file system for creating these shared partitions (as we have sun cluster in solaris)?
If so let me know what versions are supported and provide the necessary Note / Link

DB

HI,
Can anybody help me that to give some answers of my question's ?
can i install oracle 10g RAC on a single hdd linux server which is installed on an ordinary intel processor based machine.
if i can then plz tell me this how can i do this.
i am new in linux server just wanted to learn that how to install oracle 10g RAC.
thanks & Regards to all of my seniors..

The only option you have to install RAC on 1 machine is to use Oracle VM, VMWare or Linux Virtualization feature (Linux Xen).

Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
I am a research student currently struggling to install Oracle 10g RAC on Windows OS.What i understand about a Oracle RAC database system is that it involves a configuration of multiple hosts or servers joined together with a clustering software and accessing the shared disk structures.What i also understand is that i need a CRS provided by Oracle for a Windows or Linux based RAC installation.
What i don't understand is for a Two node RAC system do i need a Third machine which has the shared storage device.If yes do i have to install a copy of Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition and CRS on the shared storage device moreover do i need to install a copy of Oracle 10g Enterprise edition on each of the nodes or just the clusterware is enough.

Hi Salil
No, you do not need a third machine. You can even setup RAC as a single node on one machine! What you do need is to have some sort of cluster aware file system. Try looking at OCFS on Windows in your case.
If you are interested in a Linux example please have a look at the examples at http://ocpdba.net/oracle9i_rac/cheaprac.html and http://ocpdba.net/oracle10g_rac for an OCFS implementation I am working on.

Ahbaid

Oracle forms 10g 32bit with Oracle 10g database on windows itanium for x64

Hi.....
Currently we are planning to have this configuration
1. Oracle10g RAC on HP rx6600 with windows itanium for x64 architecture
2. Oracle Application Server (32-bit) on windows 2003 (forms & reports services)
3. Application migrated from 6i to 10g
I have to things to ask about?
1.Will it be ok to connect from an application compiled with _(32-bit)_ 10g forms to a x64_ platform without problems ?
2. Can we connect forms and reports of developer 6i +(32-bit)+ to 10g RAC on x64_ platform if the character set is not UTF8 ?

1.Will it be ok to connect from an application compiled with (32-bit) 10g forms to a x64 platform without problems ?I did this also. A 32bit Oracle Form(10gR2) on Linux and a 64 bit (10gR2) database. And this works without a problem. Since you didn't mentioned your versions I would suggest you look for your combination if it is certified combination.
2. Can we connect forms and reports of developer 6i (32-bit) to 10g RAC on x64 platform if the character set is not UTF8 ?I don't know if the combination is certified. But regarding your character set, you have a character set setting (NLS_LANG, DEVELOPER_LANG, etc.. ) for your developer 6i, your database has it's own character set. Depending on those setting a conversion of the character set will take place between your developer 6i and the database, when you get and put data to the database. But like I said I don't know if developer 6i and 10g is still a supported combination.

Client requirment for 10g RAC

Hi,
We are planning to deploy Oracle 10g RAC on itanium Cluster. What is the Client and its version requirement to take full advantage of 10g RAC load balancing/fail over ?
Shanmu
India.

If you want a realistic setup, then you need 3 physical PC's. VM ware installation is too easy, and you dont run into many of the issues you are likely to run into with physical computers. I recommend 3 old PC's with a KVM switch, with Openfiler as the previous post suggested. Put Linux on the cluster nodes, it is free and you dont need much horsepower to run it.
