10gR2 RAC on Solaris 10

Hi,
I am looking for "step by step install & configure" guide to setup 10gr2 RAC on Solaris 10.
I got the following Doc "ID: Note:317257.1" from metalink. Looks like I need to configure Solaris 10 containers and Solaris Zones for 10g RAC.
Is there another way to setup 10gr2 RAC on Solaris 10 without using the Solaris 10 containers just like (Solaris 9 or plain OS)?
Any help would be appreciated.
R-

Thanks for all your inputs. I finally got 10g RAC installed and running.
I learned that there is no way to install Oracle software and configure ASM during installation. I had to install “Software Only” then configure ASM at the later time, then that will work.
Good luck to you all.

Solaris 10 + Oracle 10gR2 RAC question

Hello everyone
Has anyone come across the case where the CRS services of Oracle cause
the public interface to get turned off and then restored at random
time intervals? To elaborate, we have a 2 node cluster database.
Solaris 10, Oracle 10gR2 RAC with patch 10.2.0.3 applied. No SUN
clustering is involved. When the cluster software is down (nodeapps,
asm, database instances all down) /var/adm/messages show nothing. When
we start nodeapps on the 2 nodes(thus initiating some form of
communication between the nodes), at random time intervals we get
"interface ce0 turned off and interface ce0 restored" in /var/adm/
messages. When we check the status of the RAC, we see that one node's
vip has been assigned to the other. This on/off behaviour of the NIC
can be eliminated only if we continuously PING it from a another
client in the network.
As a matter of fact, the RAC and the RDBMS work perfectly when we keep
pinging the 2 nodes from an other client on the network. We even
managed to run a long batch job, distributed on cluster managed
services on the 2 instances, and it completed after 9 hours without
any problems.
Does anyone have a hint on this behaviour? Is there some sort of
timeout for the network cards? Some power saving features? Googling
around I came across the new Containers feature available on Solaris
10. Is there a way that I can verify that either RAC or the RDBMS is
running in "container" mode ( since the solaris and Oracle
installation was not performed by me)? Any other ideas?
Thank you for reading

Im an Oracle guy - not the SA type -
But on ours - the SA configured this cluster incorrectly. We use veritas. instead of making ipmp groups for the interfaces - he built the cluster according to veritas docs. That is - he has two publics - on difference interfaces and different privates on different interfaces. oracle can only two interfaces - no matter if its a ipmp group or a device name. one is used for private- the other is used for public - So sure the veritas cluster filesystems will survive - but the Oracle Cluster will not - nodes will reboot -
Is your system set up incorrectly as i described above? if it is - a quick test would be - turn down the other interfaces - and only leave the two interfaces you mention above up that you configured for Oracle CRS
This other sharp sa was able to go through the arp table and see duplicate IPs - and the routing was attempted via an interface that oracle doesnt see. You can not define two different interfaces public - and two different interfaces for private -

Oracle Rac on Solaris Containers

We are planning to implement Oracle 11G RAC on Solaris 10 using non-global zone. RAC is now officially certified on Solaris containers.
But we are still investigating whether zone Cluster (Using Solaris Cluster) is the prerequisite to have Oracle RAC on Solaris non-global zone.
This oracle document *(Supported Virtualization and Partitioning Technologies for Oracle Database and RAC Product Releases [ID 1173831.1])* stated that:
_"*Oracle Solaris Containers are supported with Oracle RAC 10gR2 and 11gR1 (with Oracle Solaris Cluster on SPARC64). Solaris version 10 Update 7 or later (patches 141444-09, 143055-01, 142900-06, 143137-04 "md patch") with Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 and 3.2u2 patched to 126106-39 or later."*_
Does it mean that Oracle RAC is supported on Solaris Container only with Solaris Cluster?
In other word does Oracle RAC is supported on Solaris Non-Global zones without using Solaris Cluster?

It was my understanding too. Do you have any source document where it is specifically noted that solaris cluster(Zone Cluster) is needed for RAC?
Please check this document www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/systems-hardware-architecture/deploying-rac-in-containers-168438.pdf, nowhere it is said that Solaris Cluster is needed.

Guidelines for SGA and PGA tuning for 10gR2 RAC and ASM ?

I am looking for tuning information on SGA and PGA tuning for Oracle 10g (10.2) RAC and ASM for a 4TB OLTP and DSS mixed environment on Solaris 10 platform.

We are running Solaris 10 SPARC 64 bit with Oracle 10gR2 RAC Enterprise Edition and ASM on Sun servers with 32GB of RAM for memory for a 4TB OLTP database.
It is in design phase so I do not have an existing AWR or Statspack report yet. Is there a best practices guideline on how to size parameters for the SGA (ie: shared_pool_size, etc) and PGA for this environment from Oracle?

Migration 10gr2 rac to 11gr2 rac

10g R2 RAC on Solaris 10 error when running root.sh

hi, I am installing Oracle 10g rac on Solaris 10 with two nodes. In the end of the installation of RAC when a run root.sh I get the error bellow.
# /opt/crs/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/root.sh
Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured
Setting the permissions on OCR backup directory
Setting up NS directories
Failed to upgrade Oracle Cluster Registry configuration

I have done this install using a pair of T2000's and a 65XX SAN. The install doco is not straight forward. I had to compile a number of Metalink notes to eventually get the disk partitions sorted. Of particular help was Note:271621.1.
Since I am not a Solaris admin, the next bit is caveated as "This is how I did it" and maybe not how anyone else would have done it. These things were not explicitly noted, but gleaned through a bit of reading:
1) you need to throw away the first cylinder of each LUN. I did this by creating the first partition as a single cylinder.
2)then create s4 (or whichever slice you desire) as the rest of the space allocated to that LUN.
3) Repeat this for each LUN presented
4) I created a directory /san under which I then created the character mode (raw) interface for each of ocr, vote.
5) For asm, and for no other reason than being self documenting, I created /san/asm and created character mode interfaces to each of the LUN's for datadg and fradg
6) repeat steps 1-5 on the other box
I took quite some time (2 days) to extract all this and assemble it to a working system. But has always been stable.

How to configure ASM of 11gR2 RAC on Solaris 10

Hi all,
I have the first time to install the RAC on Solaris 10. I have stuck on the ASM disk group step in the Grid Infrastructure.
Our Configuration
2 Sun Server in Solaris 10 with same configure (which we are not using shared drive)
250GB Local Hard Disk
1100 GB Raw Disk (which at SAN)
3GB x 3 Raw Disk (which at SAN) for voting disk
When I install Grid Infrastructure, I select first option: Install and Confgure Grid in Cluster (I can't remember the exact name) and also select the Typical Installation. The previous steps are successful before the ASM Disk Group. At ASM Disk Group, no disk are display for selection.
So, how to fix the missing disk in this ASM Disk Group creation?
Please help!

I would break the 1100G into 11@100G devices and use EXTERNAL redundancy (RAID on the SAN side). You will get much better performance. (Configured/managed a 250TB 3node cluster on Sun 6900s however my LUNs were 1.5TB in size)

Sunny YipAgain using a single 1.1TB device will not get you better performance and should you need to add additional devices, they too will need to be 1.1TB. Sometimes smaller is better.
Make sure you use a partition that starts at cylinder 1 or 2
Make sure you set the correct permissions (660) and ownership (gridowner:oinstall) on those devices and make sure the oracle user is a member of that group.

10g RAC on SOLARIS 10

Hi,
What is the best CLUSTER I can use for my 10g RAC on SOLARIS 10.
Regards
MMU

I am going to install Oracle 10g RAC (standard Edition) on Solaris 10 (sparc 64bit).I am using Oracle Clustware only.I need step by step document for this installation.I have gone through Oracle documents and many others.I have failed many times in this installation so I need some good document.
Plz tell me what directories I need to create and permission for this directories.
I am creating these directories before starting CRS installation.
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs

RAC on solaris 10 zones

Can we have separate 10gR2 RAC CRS and 11gR2 RAC CRS homes on same Unix s

We'd like to test the upgrade of our 10gR2 RAC databases to 11gR2 RAC.
We have six databases on the same server and want to install a separate 11g RAC stack (11g CRS, 11g ASM, 11g RDBMS) and upgrade each 10g database from 10g RAC stack on same server (10g CRS, 10g ASM, 10g RDBMS) . Is it ok to have 10g CRS home and 11g CRS home same server? If not, how best to upgrade without buying more hardware?
Thanks in advance,
Lou

In more detail, the main issue/question is whether there can be 2 Oracle CRS homes on the same server i.e. separate 10gR2 and 11gR2 CRS homes residing on the same server for the purposes of (gradually) upgrading all Oracle RDBMS homes from 10g RAC to 11g RAC.
Can there be? What would be the implications for the OCR and voting disk? In our case 10g CRS has OCR and Voting Disk on raw devices. In 11gR2, these would need to be migrated/upgraded/stored in ASM, right?
We have 6 10g rdbms homes in addition to the one 10g CRS home and one 10g ASM home. To upgrade can we
- Install 11gR2 CRS in a separate home (this would now include ASM as well)
- Install 11gR2 RDBMS home
- Upgrade one of the 6 10g databases while leaving the others untouched as 10g databases in the separate 10g CRS, 10g ASM stack?
Any ideas, pointers greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lou

10gR2 RAC installation: OUI forgets to create directory 'crs/auth' (BUG)

Hi,
We've got a new installed 10gR2 RAC cluster (2 nodes) on AIX. But there were several errors during startup of CRS (Cluster Ready Services).
The error log shows, that it couldn't write a special file (I guess a lock file).
So I just created the missing directory 'crs/auth' and anything works fine now.
This post is just for those who are looking for a solution for their non-working crs daemon. No need to answer.
But I suppose Oracle should log it as an installation bug, because the Universal Installer does not create this directory and so the CRS can not work.
Best regards
Sven

it looks like i hit a bug in crs 11.1.0.6 -> bug 6782573

Hi,
Q) Can Oracle 11g Release 2 RAC be installed on Solaris (x86)??yes, you can Install it on Solaris X86
Q) Can the links of Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base?? As i haven't seen any doc for installing 11g RAC on Solaris, where as it was provided in Oracle 10g.yes, you need to consider Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base as base document.

10g rac on solaris

Dear all,
We are in the process of installtion of 10g RAC on solaris.
As far as i studied,
OCFS cannot be used in Solaris
Only 3rd party cluster file system can be used
if no 3 party cluster file system can be used,we have to use ASM
Is there any other options for this ?
Please guide
Kai

pls, i need an help urgently with installation of RAC on Solaris Using VMware.

Oracle 10gR2 RAC - ASM question

Hi
I have a question regarding the ASM storage. Let says I have a system here running Oracle 10gR2 RAC and would like to add a new/extend the current DATA disk group with more disk space. How do I do that? will it affect the existing data stored inside there?

So to add a little more to the discussion. Let's say your storage administrator presents you a LUN and is nice enough to add a partition of say 7G. (/dev/sdo1).
Now you need to take /dev/sdo1 stamp it and alter your storage group.
For illustration purposes I shall use rac1 and rac2 as my dual instance RAC and add to the asm group ARCH.
As root on rac1
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ARCH2 /dev/sdo1
then run
/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
to make sure ARCH2 shows up.
On rac2 you run
/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
You don't see ARCH2 so then run
/etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
then
/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
Now you should see ARCH2
Ok the asm stamps are in sync now.
Back to rac1
su - oracle
set ORACLE_SID to asm instance and use sqlplus
sqlplus / as sysasm
If you query V$ASM_DISK you will see your disk with a header_status of PROVISIONED
that's good ...
NOw while still in sqlplus
Let's bump up the asm_power_limit so rebalancing runs faster
alter system set asm_power_limit=5 scope=both ;
If your asm instance are sharing the same spfile you only need do this on one instance; otherwise run the command both on all asm instances.
Lastly
ALTER DISKGROUP ARCH ADD DISK 'ORCL:ARCH2' ;
Now you can query V$ASM_OPERATION and watch ASM do it's magic of rebalancing.
That's it. All done while the DB is up and running.
How does that work for you?
