11.2.0.2 Grid Installation for a Standalone Server FAILED!

OS: OEL-5.5 x86_64 (kernel-2.6.18-194.17.4.0.1.el5, glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7)
Product: Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.2.0) x86_64 for Linux
Hi,
I was trying to perform a clean and full 11.2.0.2 installation for a Standalone Server (Single database + ASM + Restart), but unlike 11.2.0.1, this standalone patch, shipped as set of full installation files, has serious flaws mainly due to insane installation and configuration scripts. My environment is as follows:
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
GRID_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid
all owned by oracle:dba. ASMLib was configured with four 256 GB partitions on four physical disks.
1. During grid installation the Prepare, Copy files, Link binaries, Setup files, Execute Root Scripts (root.sh), Update Inventory, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant all succeeded, but ASM Configuration Assistant FAILED and installation couldn't continue. That was because root.sh script (and inside it calling scripts) changed the ownership of ORACLE_BASE and GRID_HOME to root:dba, so that admin and diag directories creations in ORACLE_BASE were not permitted. After fixing that manually as root (immediately after executing root.sh), the installation continues and succeeds.
2. During installation of Client software the error message window appears stating that cannot find the /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/oui/bin/runInstaller.var file. By pressing the Continue button the installation continues ignoring this.
3. If Oracle Scheduler Agent is selected for installation during Client software installation, the Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.2.0 cannot start (https problem - cannot establish connection). To fix this, I had to deinstall Client software and install it again without Oracle Scheduler Agent.
4. The Performance window in Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.2.0 cannot display any graph ("Initializing" and "Transferring data from localhost..." never end).
Are those issues known issues? If they are, why did Oracle ship that standalone patch without testing it before? Given that prior release (11.2.0.1) was free of any errors above, it is really beyond me to figure out this negligence.

Are those issues known issues? Have you created service request ? That would be much better to be sure about the workaround you found.

Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server

As I understand and as the following doc indicated, to install Oracle database, I'd have to install Grid Infrastructure first. I am not configuring RAC/cluster, only on a standalone server.

Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server download

Hi there,
I am trying to install Oracle 11g but it says if I want to use ASM and oracle Restart then I must intsall Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server.
I am doing this installation on my home pc running Windows 7 to make sure it work, however, I downloaded Database 11g Enterprise/Standard Editions but i cannot find any download for Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server.
Can anyone please help as i am confused here??
I even went to the /stage directory of my 11g download and there is no folder called cluster or grid or anything.
Thanks in advance!!

When you go to OTN to download the software, click on the "See All" link next to the platform you are downloading and you'll see the links for GRID.
However, you do not need to install GRID if you don't plan on using ASM and Restart.

Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server or Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster?

Hi,
I want to install a single instance database and I want to use ASM.
Now my configuration is only one node but in the future probably it scale on multiple node.
So, can I use Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster for only one node or I must use Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server?
Regards

If you plan later ro use more than one server, than install the cluster grid infrastructure. It is possible to install on one server.

Has the ODI same installable for both Client & Server?

Has the ODI same installable for both Client & Server?
i.e. Team with multiple developers is concurrently working on ODI project. Repository is very much same. They just need the Designer Module in their desktop.
Is there separate installable for development IDE for ODI (Designer Module) instead of complete ODI which may include the server also?
Thanks In Advance
priyadarshi.

Hi ,
You can install only the client in multiple machine if multiple user are going use/share the same repository ... and you should be having the same
snps_login_work.xml
snps_login_security.xml
in all your client installations....so that you can have multiple users created and share the same repositroy ...
hope this helps
Thanks

Offline installer for CC Desktop / Server availability issues.

This is a follow up to the issue described here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5620240#5620240
As we have to install CC Desktop on each of the systems deploying CS6 packages, I'm looking for an offline installer for it. Is such a thing available?
The reasons I ask are that A) There's no guarantee that the machine will have internet access during the installation. and B) Half the time I run it on a desktop, I get an error message telling me "The remote server is not responding in a proper manner"; my response to which was similarly improper...
My "Deployment" such as it is now relies on users copying the file form a network share on to their desktops, running it individually and hoping that the server is online. Not fun when you've got 50 artists across 5 studios wanting to get these packages installe; and that's only so I can proceed to the wheel-of-fortune that is the AAMEE-produced MSI package.
Are these server availability issues commonplace? Is this just one of those things that afflicts all software launches that rely too heavily on online components?

Hi Terry,
If it's helpful, you can find and use all the original offline installers for all Creative Cloud and CS6 tools (including the CC Desktop App) here:
Adobe CC Direct Download Links
and/or
Adobe CS6 Direct Download Links
If you have those files in hand then you can install the free trials anywhere while being offline. In most cases the Internet is used to activate the software longer-term, although Adobe still provides procedures for offline activation:
Activate your software offline
If the computer on which your software is installed cannot connect to the Internet or to Adobe’s activation servers, you can activate your software offline.

[Forum FAQ] How to sync time with a Domain Controller for a standalone server

As we all known, if a computer belongs to an Active Directory domain, it will sync the time automatically by using the Windows Time service that is available on Domain Controllers.
While a standalone server will synchronize with its local hardware time and Windows time server. (Figure 1)
Figure 1.
Under some circumstances, a standalone server is necessary in a product environment. We can sync the time of this standalone server with the Domain Controller using
the steps below:
1. Modified the value of the AnnounceFlags:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config
Under this entry we can see the default value of AnnounceFlags is 10 (Decimal), we configure the value as 5 (Decimal). (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
2. Confirm the value of the registry key below is set to 0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer
Figure 3.
3. Configure the standalone server to synchronize with a specific time source (Domain Controller).
In our test, we configured our Domain Controller (192.168.10.200) as the time source. Used the following commands:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:192.168.10.200
4. Sync the time with the Domain Controller using the command below:
w32tm /config /update
From the figure below (Figure 4), you can see the after we did all the steps above, the time on the standalone server was synced with the Domain Controller.
Figure 4.
(Note: Peerlist is a separated list of DNS servers, or IP Addresses for the time servers)

Installation Grid Infrastructure for RAC using UDEV fail

Hi experts,
I want to install RAC for testing using UDEV, VirtualBox and Linux 5.8 64 bit.
I fail at installation Grid Infrastructure(ASM). At the Step 5 of 9 - Create ASM Disk Group, the installer don't display any disk to create ASM diskgroup.
I think UDEV have been configed correctly. The following are the UDEV configuration:
"/etc/scsi_id.config"
vendor="ATA",options=-p 0x80
options=-g"/etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules"
KERNEL=="sd?1", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/$parent", RESULT=="SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBb1141d78-3196a201_", NAME="asm-disk1", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="sd?1", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/$parent", RESULT=="SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VB748d0eea-d6385be2_", NAME="asm-disk2", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"ls -al /dev/asm-disk*
brw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 8, 17 Mar 30 21:44 /dev/asm-disk1
brw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 8, 33 Mar 30 21:44 /dev/asm-disk2Any sugestion for me? Please help...
Thanks and best regards,
Hai Mai.

Try this one.
1. Find the WWID of the disk
# /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sdb
SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_ Here we got an WWID of 'SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_'.
2. Create an custom UDEV rule
Create a new rule under /etc/udev/rules.d/, for example, /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle.rules.
Ensure the file name lists after the default 50-xxx.rules file. The filename must end in ".rules" to be recognized.
KERNEL=="sd*1", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%P", RESULT=="SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
KERNEL=="sd*2", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%P", RESULT=="SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw2 %N"
KERNEL=="sd*3", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%P", RESULT=="SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw3 %N"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="raw*", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="0664"The RESULT filed was the WWID of your hard disk found in step 1.
Please also subsititue the value of 'OWNER', 'GROUP', and 'MODE' to your actual one.
3. Restart the UDEV service
# /sbin/start_udev And then, you are free to use /dev/raw/raw1, /dev/raw/raw2, and /dev/raw/raw3 as your RAC OCR and Voting Devices.
Thanks,

Grid Installation for standalone server

Past few days I’ve been installing oracle 11g r2 Grid infrastructure (standalone ) 32 bit on vmware workstation. The installation process finished successfully and root.sh is launched, the following error appears:
“Failure with signal 11 from command: /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl pin css -n linux1-m
Creating local-only OCR (/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl pin css -n linux1-m) ... failed"
I have no idea about this error...
help would be appreciated in this!!!!!!!!!!

“Failure with signal 11 from commandOperating System (OS) error - Therefore OS change will be required to correct it.
Oracle is victim; not culprit.
Installing Oracle & RAC can be a challenge for some folks who refuse to Read The Fine Manual.
Including VM into the environment complicates the challenges even more so.
Good Luck!

Agent Installation for windows/sql server

I am new to OEM and trying to download OEM Agent for SQL Server
I downloaded both the patches as well as the full install mentioned in the following URL.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/index.html
Both the links point to the same zip file GridControl_10.2.0.3_Win32.zip and it doesn't look like a full install.
The readme file asked to install from a CD Rom.
Anyone have same experience before. & know where to download the OEM agent for SQL server?
Thank you

Yes there is agent for windows machine.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/index.html
Check the above site, during installation of grid control will gives you agent too and you may use mass deployement of agents or cloning of agents.....

How to include external files when building installer for a standalone executable?

Hi,
I was trying to build a stand alone executable from my Labview project and I was able to do it successfully. Now I would like to include a few external .txt files in the installer. Those .txt files have parameters/constants that will be used by the program, and my program needs to load/read them when running. For now I have to manually copy/paste them into the target machine, but I really hope the installer can do it automatically. I see there is a "data" folder in the installer, and that's where I hope those .txt files can be added into.
How can I do it? Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks!
Rgds
Harry
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Norbert,
I could not find "Add file" when right clicking the project. See attached image please. Under "Project" I do have a "Add to project" but there is no option for external files. I did not find "Source" location either.
What did i do wrong? Is there any version requirement here? I have a 2010 base version. Thanks for your help.
Rgds,

B1DE (AddOn Installer) for 64 bit server

Hi All,
I have a problem. One of my client has a 64 bit server. AddOn installation created with B1DE for SAP 2007 doesn't work on that server. After running SAP AddOn is trying to install, and then there is an error. Is there any way to create AddOn installation files that work on 64 bit server?
Regards
Hmg

Both Robin and Owen are right... You need to run your code as forced 32 bit.
The reason is the following:
- A default project in Visual Studio is compiled as "Any CPU"
   - Any CPU means that you code will be executed as 32bit on a 32bit machine, and 64bit on a 64bit machine.
   - The Any CPU option is great for pure .NET (since all parts of it can run 32bit and 64bit)
   - In case of the SAP SDK and the AddonInstaller.dll, these are COM-based unmanaged code
      - If such unmanage code is not written to work with 64 bit, problems like yours can occur (this happens not only for SAP SDK... Tons of API out there have the same problems)
- If you change the Any CPU option to the x86 option, you will force 64 bit mashines to run your code in "simulated" 32bit (Don't worry.. it is quite fast and gives no problems)
We are you this with our 64 bit customers and without any problems...
Lastly, if you wish to know more about this please hear the following podcast that describes the issue in detail (A good listen): http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=341

ITunes installation for 11.1.4 failed, tried multiple other ways to install/repair...still not working (cannot open)

I got an error message after trying to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. I have tried installing via Apple Download (originally did this and it didn't work either of the times I tried), manually tried installing/repairing (gave error message that it couldn't open when it finished), from the apple site (tried repairing and gave exact same error message as manual update), and uninstalled and then reinstalled (took a long time on installing the startup section of the reparing...pretty sure that's where the error is in the update) followed with a restart of my computer...still same error message. If anyone knows how to fix this or if Apple could fix this, that would be great. Error messages displayed:

I updated tonight and ran into two very similar errors.
The first error is your same 127 error and the other error looks like this -
I'm on Windows 8.1
As for what I did, I uninstalled then reinstalled. Same thing. Then I uninstalled everything Apple related on my PC then reinstalled Quicktime then iTunes. Same thing. Then I uninstalled everyting Apple related again then installed iTunes. Same thing.
Hopefully it will be patched soon.
