10g RAC on Oracle VM/Windows 2003 server

Is there any documentation/thread/blog which describes installation of 10g clusterware on Windows 2003 VM on Oracle VM 2.1.2 using just direct attached storage? I created 2 Windows 2003 VMs. For OCR and Voting disks, I created shared virtual disks. These disks are visible from both VMs. When I try to install clusterware, both VMs blue screen about 50% into install. The error in CRS logs points to OCR disks not being in correct format. I have tested same process with VMWare server and it works fine. Do I need to do something different for Oracle VM?
BTW this is not my first time installing RAC on Windows 2003. I have done more installations than I care to remember but always on physical servers. I followed the same process as I do for physical servers but it seems that Oracle VM does not like the shared virtual disks.
Thanks...

Check out my articles at http://dbasupport.com on 10g R2 RAC Clusterware setup. I was able to do that on my vmware BUT I hope to have the very irritating ASM scenario done before my 4th Article.

Oracle 10g Universe Connectivity From 64bit Windows 2003 Server

Hi,
Have an existing BO XI 3.1 environment built on a 64 bit Windows 2003 server and
I'm having problems getting it to communicate with Oracle 10g universes. Works fine
with its SQL Server 2005 repository and SQL Server 2005 relational/olap universes, but
cant seem to get it to work with Oracle.
Universes work fine on the 32 bit development environment talking to the same Oracle
database, but when move them to 64 bit testing environment they all fail with
Oracle ora-12154 errors.
32 bit Oracle client is installed and can communicate fine with other products using ODBC
connections from the server - but BO refuses to communicate.
Any ideas other than reinstalling BO under 'Program Files' rather than 'Program Files (x86)'
as I've seen some references on the web about this possibly being a problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
Oracle 32 bit and 64 bit connectivity work fine from the server. The problem seems to
relate to bug 3807408 in Oracle 10g that cant handle parentheses in directory names.
So BO being installed in u2018C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objectsu2019 causes it to get
rather annoyed.
SAP Note 1202730 does cover this, but our DBA's aren't too keen on installing the
suggested patch. I'm also not very keen on reinstalling BO in a different directory as
we've got working production sites that would have to be rebuilt.
So now investigating whether using the Oracle 11g client will resolve this.
MSDN forum topic http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/ab662d63-6385-4f73-b27f-d526048f601f/ gives a pretty good overview of what people have been trying to resolve this.

go to services window and set all your Oracle services to automatic instead of manual. this will start your database automatically rather you start it manually

Installing AS 10g (10.1.2) on Windows 2003 Server

I have problem installing AS 10g (10.1.2.0.0) on Windows 2003 Server. Installation seems to be ok, but when I tried (on server) to go into Enterprise Manager (EM), I wasn't asked for password, only blank page was shown. So I tried enter EM on workstation (XP, SP2) - succesfully. All seemed OK, until I tried deploy some application from ear file. I waited a long time, but nothing happened. On server I see, that nothing at all is being uploaded into applications directory. I tried all that again on AS installed on XP workstation - without any problems, so problem will probably be on 2003 server. Do you have any idea where? Thanks.

I solved one thing - running Enterprise Manager on server is now possible after I changed security level in Internet Explorer. Now I can deploy applications from server, whether the .ear file is on server or shared from workstation. I still have problems with deploy from workstation (though I was several times succesfull). After browsing to .ear file and clicking on Continue button on first (out of 3) page, the IE waits very long time (many minutes) to next page. Once on next page, I am able to finish it all OK quite quickly.

10g RAC setup trouble in Windows 2003 env.

Hello, guys,
I had trouble in setup 10g RAC in Windows 2003 env.
Environment is following.
* Two PC which have two LAN cards which one is connected public network, other is connected internal network.
And Two PC have SCSI card connected shared disk. Share disk is setup logical drive, not assigned drive letter.
* PC's OS is Windows2003 Enterprise Server. OS is installed clean, not contain previous oracle.
Due to install manual, At first setup CRS, second setup 10g. So I setup CRS at firast. During CRS setup, I input two PC's public name and private name in installing node window and proceed setup, setup program install program into two PC at the same time. But setup failed in last service configuration window, and CRS service can't start.
I checked error message in log file, error is about registry... I can't find cause.
Do you know how to setup CRS into two PC?

I could resolve this trouble.
Cause is that shared disk settig is affected. Another side PC can't mapped drive letter, so I assigned drive letter manually, and reboot both PC.
After that, OracleCRService, OracleCSService, OracleEVMService could run.
Thanks

Oracle and Windows 2003 server

I installed 10gR1 on a 2003 server. When I restarted the server, Oracle would not start (all services set to start automatically). If I stop and restart it through Windows nothing happens. If I login through SQLPlus as sysdba and use the startup command, everything works fine. Any ideas?

Check,

Oracle 10g RAC on 2 VMware Windows 2003 images corrupts image

It happened twice on each of the 2 VMware workstation 5 on which I am trying to set up an Oracle 10g R2 RAC. After installing CRS and rebooting machine I lost access to the Network Connections and the Disk Management. Basically I have to create a new image. Before I start a third time I would appreciate advice or feedback from other users.
Also Configuration Assistants failed to install.
Thanks

Well, I have noticed that you didn't provide much information. First of all you need to take a look at alert log file and trace files in order to get more information.

Change IP Address on Oracle 9i Windows 2003/2008 Server

If I will change the IP Address on an Oracle 9i windows 2003 Server, in a client/server environment, will that cause problems in the database.
Ofcource I will change the lisner.ora script IP address and I will make new alias names on the clients.
Thanks in advance
Dimitrios

Dear Dimitrios!
If you have a DNS-Server in your network then it should be very easy to change your IP-Address because Oracle uses DNS-Names in its configuration. Therefore you don't have to change the Oracle configurationfiles tnsnames.ora and listener.ora. If you don't use DNS then there also shouldn't be any problems if you change your IP-Address in the tnsnames.ora and the listener.ora files.
Yours sincerely

Problem Oracle 10g database Installation on Windows 2003 Server

Hi All,
I am trying to face some problem to install oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server with service pack 2. Once I start to installation it give me an error "Error in writing to directory 'c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\orainstall2004xxx'. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has at least 45MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue"
I double-insured that there is enough disk-space and I am also in the Administrators-Group.
Please guide me for the above problem although I have done oracle 9i database installation with the same configuration.

Install Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 Server cluster (MSCS)

Hi all
How do I install Oracle 10g on Windows 2000 cluster (MSCS installed)?
I have a 2-nodes Microsoft windows 2003 server cluster and I want to install Oracle 10g,
Do I folloow this order:
1. Install the software on both without the database
2. Create the database from the first node
in this case, The second node can see the database as it is available?,
and what about the IP adresses?
If you can point me to some documentation, or help in any way, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for any help.

Read here...
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96685_01/intro.htm
>>
Oracle Fail Safe comprises multiple components: Oracle Fail Safe Manager, Oracle Services for MSCS, and server components specific to Oracle Fail Safe.

So I don't know how you can achieve this without Fail Safe.
There might be other link which I cannot find right now.

Oracle 10g crashes Windows 2003 server (bluescreen)

Hello,
i have a problem that Oracle 10G crashes my Windows 2003 Server. All components are up-to-date and it is a certified system setup. The database worked well for months, but three days ago when our staff went to a workshop, I shut down the machine, and when we came back yesterday I just powered it up again (no changes have been done in the meantime).
The boot procedure ended up at a bluescreen, I tried two more times with the same result. I was able to deactivate many services to narrow down the error cause. It came out that the starting of the OracleDBConsoleorcl service causes the bluescreen :
BAD_POOL_CALLER 0x000000C2 (0x00000044,0x00000000,0x80000000,0x00000000) . This is re-producable, I just have to switch on that service and it will bluescreen the machine.
The strange thing is, that the OracleServiceORCL is working fine, I can even use SQL-Plus and RMAN to get to the data, but without the OracleDBConsoleorcl the Enterprise manager doesnt work anymore, and our applications also cannot connect to the database. IÂ´ve looked up the error on google, it seems to be an error in addressing memory. Anyway, the database worked fine for weeks and I wonder why I cant get it back into business anymore. Right now, iÂ´m lost. Anybody know what to do with this error ?

It turned out to be an error in the Windows 2003 OS-Kernel. Every install/uninstall of programs immediately leads to a bluescreen. Luckily, this can be solved with a hotfix from microsoft (you gotta email them to get it, it is not public yet). The corresponding article in the microsoft knowledge base is http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;888431
It will install a new ntoskrnl.exe and the problem is solved afterwards (oracle DB starts again, and also the other install/uninstall problems are solved). Hint : Boot to safe mode and then install the hotfix, if you just start the hotfix it will bluescreen right when you click onto the hotfix.
