10g RAC on varitas Cluster Software and Shared storage

1. Install oracle binaries and patches (RAC install)
2. Configure Cluster control interface (shared storage) for Oracle
3. Create instances of oracle
These are 3 things i am wondering how to handle, I did all these on Oracle Clusterware , but never on Veritas Cluster ware ...all these 3 steps are the same or different. In someone can help..

How we can do this while using varitas cluster software
1. Install oracle binaries and patches (RAC install)
2. Configure Cluster control interface (shared storage) for Oracle
3. Create instances of oracle
If we install RDBMS 10.2.0.1 with standard installer it will catch the vcs and when we will be running dbca it will ask for RAC db option?
what is Configure Cluster control interface (shared storage) for Oracle??

10g RAC on varitas Cluster Software & Shared storage

we are in process of making 10g RAC without using Oracle Clusterware , we will be using Varitas Cluster software and varitas shared storage , I am looking for some quick notes/article on setting up/Installing this RAC configuration.

These are the notes i was looking for, Question is Only the RDBMS version will be changes , all other setup will be same as mentioned in Notes, and DBA work will start from creating DBs, right?

What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive. But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

RAC and Shared Storage

Hi,
I am trying to build a two-node RAC on windows 2003. I have two nodes, RAC1 and RAC2. I have completed the network configuration and now intend to implement shared storage. On RAC1, i have two hard disks.
Is it possible if I create 5 logial partitions on one disk with out formatting and without any drive letter, and consider it a shared storage?
Please guide in this regard.
regards,

Hi, you need a shared storage (for OCR, voting disk and databases files) so DAS disk on one node is not correct.

Qmaster Compressor and Shared Storage

I've got Qmaster working on my compressor encodes and everything is working fine. What I want to know is whether there is a way to cut out the extra copy of data for the encode. All of my machines in the cluster have the same shared storage mounted on the desktop, but still my jobs get copied first and then encoded.
Is there anyway to configure qmaster, compressor and the cluster machines so they all use their local path for source files? And avoid the extra copy of the source files to the controller system?
Thanks in advance.

You want to make sure in Compressor, under Preferences, the Cluster Options field says Never Copy Source to Cluster. Assuming you have all of the correct permissions set and have the Shared Storage configured properly then it should work. "Should" being the key word.

How can I disable windows firewall and install cluster software and its service using unattended.xml file?

platform: 2008r2
services which need install: MSDTC Service, Windows Cluster Service, SQL Cluster

Hi,
I am not quiet understanding your question, could you clarify your question, as far as I know, an answer file is an XML-based file that contains setting definitions and values
to use during Windows Setup. In an answer file, you specify various setup options, including how to partition disks, the location of the Windows image to install, and the product key to apply. You can also specify values that apply to the Windows installation,
such as names of user accounts, display settings, and Internet Explorer favorites. The answer file for Setup is typically called Unattend.xml.

Does Win2008 MSCS cluster software and server bindings relationship?

The virtual machine virtual uses the remote storage
of direct mapping by PVSICS technology
, when the virtual machine through HA change the host, why MSCS services will be abnormal, often IO Catton,
but after restarting the MSCS service,
the virtual machine‘s IO becomes normal, Is it right? Does the Win2008 MSCS and physical server
bindings some relationship?
Urgently,
thanks.
<//span>

If I interpret your question correctly, you are asking about the use of physical storage directly attached to a virtual machine. This is not a recommended practice as it limits the portability of a virtual machine because it is tied to a specific
hardware configuration.
If that is not what your question is about, please try providing more information about what you are trying to do instead of how you are trying to do it.

How the cluster works when shared storage disk is offline to the primary ??

Hi All
I have configured Cluster as below
Number of nodes: 2
Quorum devices: one Quorum server, shared disks
Resource Group with HA-storage, Logical host name, Apache
My cluster works fine when either the nodes looses connectivity or crashes but when I deny access for primary node ( on which HA storage is mounted ) to the shared disks.
The Cluster didnt failover the whole RG to other node.
I tried to add the HAstorage disks to the quorum devices but it didnt help
Anyways i can't able to do any i/o on the HAstorage on the respective node
NOTE:This is the same case even on Zone cluster

not sure what you mean with "deny access" but could be reboot of path failures is disabled. This should
enable that:

10g RAC on HACMP (IBM clusterware)

we are in process of making 10g RAC without using Oracle Clusterware. we will be using HACMP Cluster software and IBM shared storage. After looking at few threads as below:
Re: 10g RAC on varitas Cluster Software + Shared storage
Re: Varitas Cluster Software + Oracle Clusterware Installation
came to know that Oracle Clusterware is compulsory for 10g RAC besides HACMP.
Can some one let me know why oracle clusterware is compulsory and point me to some Oracle documents that mentions the same.

ML Note:220970.1 is the RAC FAQ - it would be a bit too much to paste all details here.
However, if you would let us know what details you are looking for, there might be other resources (not in metalink) that we can point you to. A starter could be this one:
Oracle Clusterware Whitepaper (PDF) (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clusterware/pdf/TWP_Clusterware_11g.pdf)
But the most important fact to note here is:
Is it supported to allow 3rd Party Clusterware to manage Oracle resources (instances, listeners, etc) and turn off Oracle Clusterware management of these?
In 10g we do not support using 3rd Party Clusterware for failover and restart of Oracle resources. Oracle Clusterware resources should not be disabled.
(taken from ML Note 220970.1 ;-))
Thanks.

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.

Considering shared storage for Oracle RAC 10g

Hi, guys!
My Oracle RAC will be run on VMware ESXI 5.5. So, both 2 nodes and shared storage are on VM. Don't blame for this, I dont have another choice.
I am choosing shared storage for Oracle RAC. I am choosing between NFS and ISCSI server, both can be done in RedHat linux or FreeNAS.
Can u, guys, help me to do the choise?
RedHat or FreeNAS
ISCSI or NFS
Any help will be appreciated.

JohnWatson написал(а):
NFS is really easy. Create your zero-filled files, set the ownership and access modes, and point your asm_diskstring at them. Much simpler than configuring an iSCSI target and initiators, and then messing about with ASMlib or udev.
I recorded a public lecture that (if I remember correctly) describes it here, Oracle ASM Free Tutorial
I will be using OCFS2 as cluster FS. Does it make any difference for NFS vs ISCSI?

You have a lot of manuals online so check by yourself how to install and configure.

Vasu,
The issue is, in our tnsnames.ora in both the nodes.What is the issue?
I believe the following documents should be helpful in configuring your tnsnames.ora (and other files) with RAC implemented.

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.
