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 ?

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 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!

  • When should I use static variable and when should not? Java essential

    When should I use static variable and when should not? Java essential

    Static => same value for all instances of the class.
    Non-static => each instance can have its own value.
    Which you need in which circumstances is completely up to you.

  • Should I use a thread and (in this case) how?

    Hi:
    I have a Swing frame (frameA) and on which there is a button; if I double click it,
    it will bring up a second frame (frameB). On frameB, I will select a new button name
    from a combobox, and click "DONE" button, and frameB would change the name of the
    button on frameA to this new name I selected. And frameB would disappear as well.
    I am thinking of using another thread for painting frameB, because I don't know how long
    it would take for frameB to load up, and I don't want to block up the event-dispatching thread
    on frameA.
    However, since frameB uses another thread, and frameB also has an ActionListener
    associated with the DONE button, i am not sure how to make the thread stay alive
    so that it could check whether the ActionEvent is fired. So, in this case, is it necessary to use
    another thread to do the job? Or should I just use the same event-dispatching thread?
    Or is there another whole new approach much better?
    Thanks

    Quite simply, I wouldn't bother threading it.
    If you load, link and instantiate the pop-up frame (actually I'd use a Dialog here) before you trigger the pop-up, the reaction is more or less instant. The execution of th parent frame will continue after the pop-up has been made visible, so any way you cut it, you are going to get a brief pause in the parent UI while the pop-up is shown - you may as well have it when the button is clicked.
    Hope this helps.--

  • Should I use both GetList and  GetDetail for creating a Data Object?

    Hello, all.
    At first, Thanks for your interesting.
    1. I wounder that  I can make a BAPI Wrapper as Data Object using only GetList.
    When I make a BAPI Wrapper as Data Object using only GetList, SAP shows me a message.
    The message says Data Object can have one root node only (hierarchy = 1 ).
    It means I should use both GetList and  GetDetail.
    I understand that.
    If i need to use only GetList, is there any way?
    Thanks for your interesting again.

    Hi
    I think you are trying to import BAPI wrapper as data object and you are using only "Getlist" BAPI.
    In such case, the data object created will have only root node. i.e Hierarchy =1.
    This is becuse the GetList BAPI has only the info about root node.(i.e, table parameter).
    If you have multiple tables in BE and you want to create a DO with multiple node(hierarchy >1) using BAPI wrapper import, then you have to use "GetDetail" BAPI along with GetList.

  • What should I use  between JSE and JEE?

    Is it true that JSE can do only certain level, but JEE can do the same with JSE and specially beyound of JSE.? If i want to develop a web application, what should i install to my computer between JSE and JEE or i have to install its both?

    hi
    you dont get all the features of j2se when you have j2ee with you. they are 2 different things.
    j2ee mostly deals with things which are required for a enterprise application building which include EJBs, Servlets, JSPs etc. while the J2SE is more useful for application developement (using Swing e.g). this is only a crude differentiation.
    the choice betweeen the two depends on your requirement. e.g. if you are developing a web application, you will go for J2EE and proceed using the components available there.
    if you specify your requirements, then we can discuss the details may be.

  • Which BUs Object should I use for archiving and linking to SalesDocuments

    Hi,
    I want to archive documents and link them to SalesDocuments, but I don't know which BUsiness Object I should use. Special Ones like BUS2030, BUS2031,... or the general Type VBAK. If I use VBAK I have the problem, that when I archive manually all with VBAK linked documenttypes are proposed, so that I can't control, which documents are allowed to be linked with for instance CustomerQuotation or SalesOrder.

    Hello Marc,
    For Sales Order user object type as BUS2032
    Customer Quotation- BUS2031
    Customer Inquiry - BUS2030
    BUS2033          Customer complaint order
    BUS2034          Customer Contract
    BUS2035          Customer scheduling agreement
    BUS2051          Customer outline agreement
    BUS2094          Credit memo request
    Hope this will answer your question.
    -Thanks,

  • Which sharpen controls should I use: RAW or Sharpen?

    With Aperture 1.1.1, which sharpen controls should I be using? The control in the RAW settings, or the separate Sharpen tool that appears farther down in the HUD?
    Are there situations where one tool is better than the other?

    Hi,
    I would suggest trying to sharpen through the standard adjustment tools first. This is the safest place to make adjustments if you are not familiar with RAW decode. Apple recommended RAW decode usually works well for most cameras.
    If you camera RAW images are always coming in with the need for a little sharpening, then it would be good to adjust Sharpening in the RAW Fine Tuning. This will effect all subsequent imported images. Keep in mind that you can always switch back to the Apple default if you need to.

  • Which infocube should I use for Controlling and Inventory?

    Hi all,
    I have several questions regarding Controlling and Supply chain management infocubes:
    1. We need cost reports for the material ledger in order to meet the Brazilian compliance. I have found two infocubes:
    •CO-PC: Cost Object Controlling (0PC_C01)
    •CO-PC: Actual Costing / Material Ledger – Costs (0COPC_C02)
    What Infocube will help me to create a query that will meet our requirements? Which one is better?
    2.  We need a cost Center summary report, Expenses analysis, by product, cost center, business unit, region, plant, etc. and Expenses period comparison report. Which infocube will provide me that information for those reports, the CO-OM-CCA: Statistical Key Figures (0CCA_C03) or CO-OM-CCA: Costs and Allocations (0CCA_C11)?
    3. What infocube will be needed to generate an inventory report (raw material, semi and finished goods)? Is it the Material Stocks/Movements (as of 3.0B) 0IC_C03?
    Can I get an inventory report from the Purchasing data (0PUR_C01) infocube?
    Thanks a lot
    Vic

    Hi
    1)you need to check the requiered characteristics are available or not from these data sources which supply data to the above said cubes,,2
    2)0CCA_C11
    3)0IC_C03
    You cann't get the inventory report from the purchasing data(purchasing data always talks about the vendor supplying inventory,it never talks about the production inventory)
    Hope it helps
    Thanks

  • When should I use abstract classes and when should I use interfaces?

    Can any body tell me in which scenario we use /we go for Interface and which scenario we go for abstract class, because as per my knowledge what ever thing we can do by using Interface that thing can also done through abstract class i mean to say that the
    behavior of the two class.
    And other thing i also want to know that which concept comes first into the programming abstract class or Interface.
    S.K Nayak

    The main differences between an abstract class and an interface:
    Abstract
    An abstract class can contain actual working code (default functionality), and can have either virtual or abstract method.
    An abstract class must be sub-classed and only the sub-classes can be instantiated. Abstract methods must be implemented in the sub-class. Virtual methods may be overridden in the sub-class (although virtual methods typically contain code, you still may
    need/want to override them). A good use for an abstract class is if you want to implement the majority of the functionality that a class will need, but individual sub-classes may need slightly different additional functioality.
    Interface
    An interface only contains the method signatures (method name and parameters), there is no code and it is not a class.
    An interface must be implemented by a class. An interface is not a class and so it cannot be sub-classed. It can only be implemented by a class. When a class implements an interface, it must have code in it for each method in the interface's definition.
    I have a blog post about interfaces:

    When submiting an App to be listed, I don't see an obvious country for these islands?   

    There is no iTunes Store for Aruba. For the US Virgin Islands you would list the US iTunes Store, I believe, though I'd suggest confirming that residents of the USVI can indeed use the US Store.

  • Memory Leak when TOMCAT connects to Oracle 10g RAC using JDBC Thin driver.

    We had experienced Memory leak when a Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) RAC node was evicted. TOMCAT app server is connecting to the Oracle 10g RAC database instances using JDBC 10.2.0.3 thin driver.
    Anyone had similar experience?
    Any ideas? Any bugs reported/fixed?
    Thanks,
    Raj

    If you're doing XA, we absolutely do not support
    driver-level load-balancing OR failover. Use neither.
    For non-XA, you can use driver-level failover. For
    non-XA, you could set load-balancing, but it won't
    help because we get connections from the driver,
    and keep them indefinitely, so the driver never gets
    the chance to affect which connections the pool
    uses after that.

  • Differance between Oracle 9i RAC and 10g RAC

    Hello,
    I am almost new to RAC. I have worked on Oracle 9i RAC since longtime back. Now I am trying to find what is difference between Oracle 9i and 10g RAC structure ? Before it was CM and now it's clusterware. But what it makes different ? Any good explanation or web link.
    thanks
    ~Keyur
    null

    The main difference is 10g RAC is almost completely platform independent, and 9i RAC isn't.
    This means it has changed tremendously.
    As 9i is desupported I wouldn't spend any time in 9i RAC if you have yet to learn it.
