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?

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!

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

I don't know why they have even canceled articles such as the Build your own rac with vmware. It was very good. The only copy I found so far was in korean, and I am not familiar with this language.
There are other sites which have a HowTo document related to VMWare-->

Hello
We have a 2 node Oracle 10g RAC Rel2 Linux setup. Enterprise Manager was first stalled on Node1 and we access it using http://node1:5500/em.
This node has a hardware failure and is out of commision at the moment. When I try to connect to http://node2.5500/em it does not work.
I see the dbconsole process is running onthe node2.
How can I use the Enterprise Manager if the node1 is down?
Thanks

Can you try deconfig and config again on node 2?

Oracle 10g RAC installation on linux server.

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).

10g RAC upgrade to 11g RAC

How to perform 10g RAC upgrade to 11g with Dataguard in place?
OS=LINUX
RDBMS=10.2.0.4
DG=PHYSICAL STANDBY
Below is my understanding
1)Install 11g CRS in NEW_CRS_HOME
2)Install 11g in NEW_ASM_HOME
3)Install 11g in NEW_RDBMS_HOME
4)Export the new NEW_ORACLE_HOME and start up the database with startup upgrade.
5) Run the catupgrade.sql script.
Are there any other steps involve?
In case I have to rollback then how to rollback CRS.

Personally I would use DBUA instead of catupgrade.sql, but make sure you follow the upgrade documentation for pre-checks etc. You will also need to use netca to recreate the sqlnet listeners in the 11g homes and register with 11g CRS.
CRS is generally fairly quick to re-install and re-register databases, and this is cleaner than trying to restore OCR and VOTE disks etc. If you prefer to rollback be sure you backup the OCR and VOTE disks (e.g use dd), backup /etc/oracle, CRS_HOME, /etc/init* scripts etc.
The dataguard standby database should roll forward through the upgrade, but you will need to manually register the standby with 11gCRS. Make sure you have your DB and Log create_file_dest's set, as well as standby_file_management=auto. Personally I would manually recover the standby after the upgrade in case I need to use it to fallback.

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.

Those errors remind me on errors I encountered when I was trying to do installation that was not certified,
so try to check if installation you are doing is actually supported.
In the meantime , visit metalink and read document [ID 460969.1] , */usr/bin/ld: Cannot Find -lxml10, Genclntsh: Failed To Link Libclntsh.so.10.1*

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
