10G RAC on VMWare

hi
I was finding the link from i could download vmware+linux+oracle colabrated 10g data center. can any one tell me that link?
Regards

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-->
Oracle 10g RAC On Linux Using VMware Server
In case you are interested on a cheap Home made RAC (with two real nodes and a shared storage):

  • 10g RAC on VMWare Workstation

    Hi Folks,
    i tried to install 10g RAC on VMWare 4.5.2 for testing.
    Hostsystem is XP, ghost system are RedHat-ES-30.
    I configured tho 2 nodes with 2 scsi adapters and 2 Network Card and a shared Disk.
    I installed ocfs 1.0.12 on both nodes, formated the disk and it seems to be fine.
    On the next step ( Installation of CRS ) the runInstaller fails after the node configuration screen with the message:
    Oracle Cluster Registry File can only be saved on a shared filesystem file or on a RAW Device.
    Any Ideas ?
    Thanks
    Martin

    Hi Laurent,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I checked that and i can't find the Processes or any think else witch is discribed in thr article !
    The Installer pops a message during the creation of the ocr file.
    Have any body tried it with RAW Devices ?

  • Putting Oracle Apps 11i on 10g RAC using VMware

    Hello All,
    I am building a Oracle Applications 11i on 10g RAC, using VMware..Since there aren't any docs I could find on internet explaining how to do this, I have come up with my own. I have combined the MEtalink doc:362135.1 and the docs describing building a 10gRAC "database" using VMware..I want to know if the below process is good enough to get the required results:
    Steps:
    -Install VMware on HOST m/c
    -Configure 1st virtual m/c, say RAC1
    -Install RHEL on RAC1
    -Install 11i with 9i database on the local SCSI bus- SCSI 0:0
    -Install VMware client tools
    -Create a new ethernet adapter(for private interconnect) on RAC1
    -Create shared disks on RAC1
    -Partition the disks
    -Add the disks as RAW devices in /etc/rawdevices
    -Clone RAC1 to a new virtual m/c,say RAC2
    -Delete the 11i apps directories from its local SCSI bus..since these would be redundant on RAC2
    -Install Clusterware s/w on RAC1 using the same oraInventory that is used by the Applications 11i installation-
    -Install the 10g DB software and create ASM instances using dbca
    -Install Database componenets from 10g companion CD
    -Upgrade CRS abd DB s/w to 10.2.0.4
    -Upgrade the 9i database to 10g using dbua from the 10g ORACLE_HOME
    -Convert the newly upgraded 10g databse to RAC using the rconfig tool
    -Post migration steps for RAC
    -Enable AutoConfig on the Applications Database tier
    - Follow the "Establish Applications Environment for RAC" section from Doc:362135.1
    -Configure PArallel Concurrent Processing(PCP)
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    (Considering that there are only 2 nodes the scenario the steps would be as follows:
    1. Install RAC using the steps provided at the link:
    http://oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnCentos4UsingVMware.php
    2.On RAC1 create a single instance of Oracle 11i (Both DB and Apps are on the same node)
    3. Follow the steps outlined in the Note:362135.1
    One thing to note is that the steps are the same whether the nodes are real or virtual.

  • Oracle-10g RAC on VMware installed on Windows-7(Host)

    Hi,
    My host OS is Windows-7. Docs. posted on this forum for RAC on VMware says: your Host OS should be Centos OS and in which you will install VMware and Client tools also. In this way u can clone another RAC2 machine.
    But I have Oracle VM Virtual Box installed on Windows-7. Another is VMware Player installed on Windows-7.
    I want to install Oracle-10g RAC on my Laptop. Please any suggestions or Docs. related to this.

    Hi,
    while this is a documentation of 11gR2 it gives enough information on how to setup a RAC in a VBox environment:

  • Oracle 10g RAC VMware support

    Is Oracle 10g RAC supported in a production VMware environment yet? If not, what is the hold up? VMware is the standard in the industry now and not being able to virtulize is both costly and not practical.

    As the previous responder points out, whilst Oracle does not actively certify its products in VMWare environments, it will provide support provided the issue is already known on the guest OS, or it can be reproduced outside a VMWare environment.
    I know of many organisations running VMWare with RAC, including my own although we tend NOT to use it in Production environments. Oracle has many resource management capabilities built in to the RDBMS and the Grid Infrastructure which only work well if Oracle has control of all of the resources on a server.
    I guess if you're not satisfied with our responses, you should direct your question to Oracle Support rather than this forum. Certification of VMWare is probably as much (or may be mostly) a business decision by Oracle and us Forum members can't generally explain those decisions.

  • Root.sh failing at node2 during 10g rac installation on vmware

    Hi All,
    I'm very new to Oracle RAC. I was trying to install 10gr2 rac on vmware. But while running root.sh script at node 2 I'm getting error like "Failure at check of Final Oracle Stack" . For the same I tried a lot to find the solution from this forum and also from other sources but did not get any proper solution. So any help from you experts is highly appreciable. Let me tell you how I'm getting this error.
    1.Install vmware and RHEL 4 as guest OS.
    2.Create a virtual machine as RAC1 and configured shared storage by adding 5 virtual disks(1-ocr,1-voting,3-asm)
    3.Then clone RAC1 to a new virtual machine RAC2.
    4.After binding and assigning permissions all raw devices(raw1,raw2,raw3,raw4,raw5) are available in both the virtual machines.
    5. Then create user equivalence for both the system and each node is reach from other node also.
    6. Now when I tried to install Oracle 10gr2 clusterware it got completed at RAC1 and I ran the required scripts but while running root.sh on RAC2 I got the above mentioned error.
    I did OCR check at both the nodes and found both are different. Also the cssd.log gives error message like OCR mismatch.
    Now here my question is as Firewal is disabled and all the configurations are proper though I'm getting the same error.
    Can anyboy provide some suggestion on resolving this issue.
    Thanks

    /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/sde1
    /dev/raw/raw5 /dev/sdf1
    The 1st one is for OCR and the next one is for Voting Disk and the rest are for asm. Also the permission are same across the two virtual machines.

    You know its not certified?
    My first thought when I read the subject of this thread, and before reading what you posted, is that you've either done no research on RAC or didn't understand what you've read.
    You can create a RAC cluster using any operating system certified by Oracle.
    But the operating system is the least important part of creating a cluster. The questions you need to be able to address are:
    1. What is your solution to created shared storage?
    2. What is your solution to create the cache fusion interconnect and VIPs?
    If you don't have an answer to these questions you can not build a RAC cluster.

  • Oracle database not starting up in oracle 10g RAC

    Hi!
    Recently I came across one problem with one node oracle 10g RAC.When the Oracle database is started,while opening it is giving ORA-03113:End of file on communication channel error.When I saw the the alert trace file and other trace files I found Disk group is exhausted error and it is not able to create .dbf files.Actually it is not a production server and I gave archive log destination in SAN.Even the spfile(content of init_database.ora) is in SAN..
    I tried Asmcmd utility to delete the archive log files.As the oracle is not available I am not able to asmcmd prompt.
    How to change the destination of archive log and to remove the old archive log files(as it is a testing environment we can remove) from SAN?Please let me know.
    Thanks & Regards

    On VMware there's a known issue with Oracle databases on a Windows client not starting up properly all the time and a manual startup using oradim -start -sid <whatever> is required to get it fully running. Hmmm, doing it several time, and never seen such issue. Which "known issue" and by who are you talking about ?
    I created a brand new Oracle VM Windows 2003 32-bit server, installed the Oracle drivers for paravirtualization, and whammo, the problem is still hereI'm sure, you miss something somewhere in the config. Right now, you're on supported configuration, you could either raise a SR to the support, or get help from your peer on Oracle Database General forum.
    Ah, but it's not a Windows issue. On a non-VM Windows box the database starts just fine all the time. Again, this is a known issue acknowledged by Oracle on the VMware side, I'm just surprised it exists on the Oracle VM side.Again, give more details about this "known issue". Never heard about that, eventhough I've been around for years.
    I was afraid you were going to ask that. I'll have to search for it again, but I think you can do the same as well....Well, I doubt you could find a Metalink note about Oracle on VMWare. So far, Oracle has always refused to support database on OS virtualized on VMWare (or any VM software other than Oracle VM). Based on that, you could be sure, your "known issue" is not an issue on Oracle VM.
    If you want more help, again, give more details about your issue.

  • 11g RAC on VMware

    Hi,
    I am trying to install 2 node, 11g RAC on VMware, the installation went fine on node 1, but node 2 had issues with ASM and DB... The problem is the ASM and DB home installed successfully, but the ASM2 and DB (RAC2) instance are not up on node 2. Actually the ASM1 and RAC2 are not registered in CRS. I will upload the exact error in a short time. While installing I got the error for node-2, that it is unable to find the ASM disks, but when I executed this " /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks " on node 2, it shows VOL1,VOL2.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Details
    OS - Oracle Enterprise Linux
    Version - 11g
    Two node rac.
    Regards,
    Satya.

    Hi All,
    I have been through all the links you people gave me, those were really helpfull, thanks. The problem is resolved now. Actually the issue was, ASM2 instance could not detect the disks for some reason, after some research in metalink I found a note:457369.1 and as per the note I included *" asm_diskstring = /dev/oracleasm/disks/* "* perameter in the init.ora file of ASM2. Then it detected the diskgroup and everything is fine now. Actually this issue is a bug in 10g, unfortunately it is not fixed in 11g as well.
    Thank you all for your help.
    Regards,
    Satya.

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