11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC install as separate users (RH 5)

We are about to set up a few new RH 5 clusters and are trying to make a decision if we should install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC as the same user (oracle) or as separate users (grid and oracle) as per Oracle documentation.
I would like to know what other people are doing and their experiences with this.
Here are some concerns that we have:
1) Does Oracle support has an 11gR2 cluster environment where grid infrastructure and oracle database are installed as separate users ? I have been to a few Oracle 11gR2 demos and they always have a simple install where everything is installed as a single user.
2) Potential permission issues that we might hit iif we use separate users, for example
- grid control agent - which user do we install it as and will it be able to access both grid and oracle files ?
- database listener will run as grid user. Is this going to cause any permission issues ?
Thanks in advance for your answers

It is all dependent on your business whether your business needs to separate between privileged user for storage administrator (ASM) or database level. It is recommended to have user separation but not mandatory.
see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17212/toc.htm for the details
permission issues might happen if the configuration is not correct. for example you might see ORA-12537 when configuring the system
Hope this helps

Hi,
One of the recommended solution for this issue by Oracle.
Have the DISPLAY variable set when running root.sh. This is the th recommendation by oracle to a SR opened by another vendor for this issue.

How to install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalond server

Hi Experts,
we do not want to install ASM. under this condition, does any expert install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server in Linux 5 at file system?
Please share tip and experiences of installed oracle 11gR2 as single instance include install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server in Linux 5. no one node RAC configuration.
If we do not install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server . which function will be lost? restat server only?
Thanks
Jim

Grid Infrastructure automatically uses Oracle Restart as default if you're installing Standalone. You can turn this off using crsctl ('disable has', I believe).
According to the inference in the install docs (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16763/oraclerestart.htm#CIHCBGCC), you can install 11gR2 without Grid Infrastructure, but you lose ASM and Restart.

Hi,
it looks like the VIPs you used are already taken in your network or the name resolution on the VIP name does not return the correct IP address for the VIP, hence the problems.

Oracle Grid Infrastructure and ASM Tech Supprot

Considering purchase the Tech Support from Oracle for Grid Infrastructure and ASM. Is there a web site/link I can go to?

Is the tech support for ASM covered under the Oracle Database tech support package or I need a separate support package for it?

Install 11gR2 grid infrastructure

Hi,
I installing grid infrastructure on SINGLE INSTANCE.
I would like to know what is the difference between the following option in the runInstaller :
1 ) Install and configured grid infrastructure for standalone server
2) Install grid infrastructure sogtware onlyThanks

Hi,
Option 1 will install the Grid Infrastruture and also configure the ASM disks.
Option 2 will install the Grid Infrastructure binaries only. You have the configure the ASM on your own.

11gR2 grid infrastructure hangs at 93% when checcking user mask!

Hello Folks,
I have a weird situation over here!
I have setup 2 nodes solaris 10 to install grid infrastructure 11gR2/ASM and RAC DB later.
I have setup them according to the install guide including kernel..project..env..umask..network interfaces..SCAN IP which resolves to 3 IPs which is registered in our DNS.
I have run the CLUVFY and it went fine..Then I started the OUI..all was good till it reaches the PREREQUISITES screen..it always start the checking here and gets stuck at 93% (CHECKING USER MASK ...) which is absolutely configured right:
--As oracle user (From both nodes):
$ umask
022 I will include the CLUVFY and OUI log in the next message right away.
Please advise.
Cheers,
Feras

Too many LISTENER processes (11gR2 Grid Infrastructure (2 nodes))

Greetings -
I get an alert that says that my LISTENER is down (EM Alert Details). It suggests a corrective action
to stop the current running LISTENER and start it again using the listener parameter (listener.ora) from
the database (RDBMS) home. There are two (2) LISTENER processes running (ps -ef | grep LISTENER) .
One process is running from the grid home and the other from the database home however only
the one running from the grid home has a listener parameter file (listener.ora) there are no others.
To confuse me even further the documentation says that I should not set the 'local_listener' parameter
and that the Oracle Agent will maintain this setting.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.
Brian

Thanks Rodrigo,
That was VERY helpful.
I disabled the old listener and then
I was able to create a new listener with the correct settings.
I can see the instances on each node using this
expression.
lsnrctl status NEW_LISTENER
However this shows on the first node that +ASM1, DM3, DM31
are available on the second node I see only +ASM2 but nothing else.
I was expecting DM3, DM32 .
Now when I first created the new listener I read that the 'local_listener'
setting need NOT be set. When I attemptied to unset that parameter then
I lost the local instances. I reset the local_listener as before
and the local instance on node one returned. Not on node two however.
My question: Do I need to set the 'local_listener' on each instance to the same
value or to different values to reflect which node they are configured for ?
I cannot see it now but I remember there is a section that references the
first node 'node_one-vip' .
Should the second node's local_listener section be 'node_two-vip' ?
Now if it need not be set this then something else has to occur to make it work.
Sorry for not being more brief,
Brian

How reInstall Gride Infrastructure and Use old ASM disk groups

<pre>Hello to all
I installed Grig Infrastructure 11gR2 on a standalone server (OS is Linux)
and I configured ASM and my database created on ASM
Conceive that my OS disk corrupted and OS doesn't start and the Gride Home is on that disk,
and I have to install OS again
My ASM disks are safe , Now how can I install Grig Infrastructure again somehow that it can use previous ASM disks
and disk groups and I don't oblige to create my database again ?
In the step 2 of installing Gride Infrastructure it has four options
<pre>
1.Install and configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster
2.Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server
3.Upgrade Oracle Gride Infrastructure or Oracle Automatice Storage Management
4.Install Oracle Gride Infrastructure Software Only
</pre>
If I select the option 2 it wants to create a disk group again
I guess that I need to select option 4 and then do some configuration but I don't know what I must configure
Do you know answer of my question , if yes please explain it's stages
Thank you so much
</pre>

Hi,
no you are not obliged to recreate your database again. However there is a small flaw in the installation procedure, which does not make it 100% easy...
When you installed the Oracle Restart (Standalone GI), your ASM diskgroup will contain the SPFILE of the ASM instance. And this is exactly the small flaw you will be encountering. So you have 2 options for "recovery":
1.) Do a software only install (4), and run roothas.pl. This however will not create any ASM entries. You would have to add it manually (using srvctl) and you can specify the ASM Spfile with the srvctl command. Problem here is however to have to know where your ASM spfile has been. If you have a backup of your OLR and a backup of the GPNP profile, this might be easier to find out.
2.) Do a new installation (2) and configure a new diskgroup (with a "spare" disk or small lun and a new name), that Oracle restart creates ASM instance and the new ASMSpfile for you.
Then you can simply mount the diskgroup containing your database additionally. You then shoudl however move your new ASMSpfile to the new diskgroup (or simply exchange it with the existing one). In this case it is easier to find out where it was - however you will need a spare (though small) LUN for the new spfile (temporarily, until you exchange it).
In either case after you have your ASM instance back (and access to your old diskgroup), you have to reregister your database and services - if you do not have an OLR backup.
Again => It is doable and you can simply mount the ASM diskgroup containing your database. However I suggest you try this one time to know what really needs to be done in this case.

10gAS infrastructure and Oracle DB install

We have an ERP product just like Oracle eBusiness suite (Oracle Applications) built using Oracle DB, Forms, Discoverer, Reports, Portal etc. for small and midsize companies (very low foot print compared to Oracle eBusiness suite). Our product is deployed/installed at customer sites who buy the product. Most of our customers are small and they would have one box for 10gAS and one for DB.
Based on above, we are debating how to install infrastructure DB and our applications database…
1.     It is better to have the Infrastructure database on the same server as the Mid Tier as it installs by default? And then just connect to the application’s database on a separate database server (create a link from infrastructure to applications DB)?
2.     Should we put the Infrastructure instance on the Database Server in a separate instance from the application instance?
3.     Should we (or can we) put the Infrastructure in an instance on the database server and then add our application schema inside this same instance so we minimize the number of instances on the production database server.
Please suggest…

x86-64 is an extension of the x86 32-bit CISC instruction set. The 64-bit extension provides support for long mode to address larger virtual and physical address spaces.
You can generally run 32-bit applications on a x86_64 bit CPU and a x86_64 kernel, provided you have the appropriate i386 libraries installed. When you install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 for x86_64, appropriate i386 libraries are a prerequisite.
Since x86 on a x86_64 CPU is still hardware, there will be no performance penalty to run 32-bit application. Btw, you cannot run 64-bit applications using a i386 kernel. The only exception I know is Mac OS X.

Disks don't show --- Solaris 10, Grid Infrastructure 11gR2 Install

I am installing 11gR2 grid infrastructure on a standalone server. It is SPARC Solaris 10. Followed the documentation for preparing disk partitions for ASM. But after launching runInstaller, at step of "Create ASM disk group", no disk shows up. Therefore disk group cannot be created. And the installation cannot continue. Tried ORCL:* for Change Discovery Path. It did not work.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi.
do you on a step at the installation of the ASM or is the ASM Instance installed and ready to use ?
Check the asm_diskstring parameter in the pfile if the ASM can discover the drives correctly .
Are you create a partition our ASM drives ?.

Install 11gr2 grid question

Hi I will be installing 11gr2 on rhel6 and have a question.
Since I need to install the gird infrastructure for before the rdbms and the grid infrastructure will be installed using the user grid as opposed to the oracle user id I am wanting to know if I need to configured multiple Oracle_base directories?
I usually would just create /u01/app/oracle and set that as the oracle_base. Can I use that for grid(infrastructure) and oracle (rdbms) for both installations. I have read the install guides and unfortunately it is still unclear to me. I am planning to install rac database.
Thanks for any hekp it is greatly appreciated.

In 11gr2, Grid infrastructure software contains both clusterware and ASM.
Prior to 11g, we used to have 3 ORACLE_HOMES one for cluster, ASM and rdbms.
For eg:
In 11g r2, Your RAC binaries set up could be like this:
Grid Infrastructure Software (Clusterware + ASM 11.2.0.1):
Server: on all RAC nodes
ORACLE_BASE: /u01/app/grid
ORACLE_HOME: /u01/app/grid112
Owner: grid (Primary Group: oinstall, Secondary Group: asmadmin, asmdba)
Oracle Database Software (RAC 11.2.0.1):
Server: on all RAC nodes
ORACLE_BASE: /u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME: /u01/app/oracle/db112
Owner: oracle (Primary Group: oinstall, Secondary Group: dba)

11gr2 RAC install on RHEL fails with "failed to create or upgrade olr"

New 11gr2 install on empty Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 machine fails with "failed to create or upgrade olr"
Error during config steps. First script ran OK (orainstRoot.sh) on both nodes.
Second script failed on DB01, and I haven't run on DB02, as it's supposed to complete on DB01 first.

[root@RiskmgmtDB01 grid]#
Looking on the net, anyone who has hit this has had a problem with permissions, so as suggested I ran:
[root@RiskmgmtDB01 grid]# /usr/sbin/getenforce
Disabled
[root@RiskmgmtDB01 grid]# /usr/sbin/setenforce 0
/usr/sbin/setenforce: SELinux is disabled
[root@RiskmgmtDB01 grid]# /usr/sbin/getenforce
Disabled
As this is already set to disabled, I don't think it will help.
The two other threads similar to this are:
root.sh failed with signal 11 while installing 11gR2 grid infrastructure
root.sh script fail to run on OEL5.4
But neither works. I've raised a support request, but if anyone else has a bright idea ....
Thanks, Duncan

This document seems to apply: PROTL-16 Reported while Executing OCRCONFIG [ID 1123453.1]
It recommends running CVU, but that showed no issues.
So next step is the uninstall, as per: How to Proceed from Failed 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure (CRS) Installation [ID 942166.1]
However "$GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -verbose -deconfig -force -lastnode" fails:
# /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -verbose -deconfig -force -lastnode

So no further along yet ...

11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC install as separate users (RH 5)
