11gR2 RAC Install Doc on HP-UX

Hi ,
My client is planning to go for 11gR2 on RAC ASM.I know the normal steps how we will follow for RAC install on Linux.
In the case of HP-UX , It does need some packages before going for install.
Please guide me the steps and procedure how we will follow the 11gR2 RAC on HP-UX.
Sharing any real time or oracle doc is helpful to me.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunand

I raised the same thread under Grid->Install
Thanks to all

Need 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using containers and NFS

I'm looking for an 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using 2-3 containers. I need to have the NFS server reside in the global zone or on a 3rd container visable to the two rac containers.
Please share me installation guide!
Thank you!
PS - I currently have run into an install issue -
Can't change ownership on /oracle/products/11.2.0/ocr/: not owner at /oracle/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 5014.
I suspect the NFS share params from the NFS server in the global zone are not 100% correct to the two rac zones/containers.

Have you visited Oracle Support Services website (formerly metalink) to determine if your desired configuration is supported?
Last time I looked it was not.
That said Oracle database installation guides are fully documented online.

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

11gr2 Rac Install: Stuck at the DNS SCAN portion.

Hi Guys, it's Xev.
Ok, I have followed his install guide to the dot. http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/oracle-db-11gr2-rac-installation-on-oel5-using-virtualbox.php#install_grid_infrastructure
During the Grid Infrastructure install portion, it's stops me and tells me that "No Locally adapter is defined" when I am right here, it won't let me past this point right below...
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/images/ol5-112-rac/47-grid-ssh-connectivity.jpg
Now, this install document, tells you to put the 3 SCAN Ip addresses in the /ect/hosts file and does not tell you that you need to install DNS on a server and configure it, or does he? The way he says it to
me just doesn't make sense.
My question is to only people that have actually installed 11gr2 RAC using VirtualBox and using oracle linux 5.8.
He says in the install document this right here, but some how i think he is just flat out wrong.
I quote from the install document,,,
If you are not using DNS, the "/etc/hosts" file must contain the following information.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
# Public
192.168.0.101 ol5-112-rac1.localdomain ol5-112-rac1
192.168.0.102 ol5-112-rac2.localdomain ol5-112-rac2
# Private
192.168.1.101 ol5-112-rac1-priv.localdomain ol5-112-rac1-priv
192.168.1.102 ol5-112-rac2-priv.localdomain ol5-112-rac2-priv
# Virtual
192.168.0.103 ol5-112-rac1-vip.localdomain ol5-112-rac1-vip
192.168.0.104 ol5-112-rac2-vip.localdomain ol5-112-rac2-vip
# SCAN
192.168.0.105 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan
192.168.0.106 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan
192.168.0.107 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan
Note. The SCAN address should not really be defined in the hosts file. Instead is should be defined on the DNS to round-robin between 3 addresses on the same subnet as the public IPs. For this installation, we will compromise and use the hosts file. This is not possible if you are using 11.2.0.2 onward.
If you are using DNS, then only the first line needs to be present in the "/etc/hosts" file. The other entries are defined in the DNS, as described here. Having said that, I typically include all but the SCAN addresses..
END QUOTE.
So, Guys, what does he actually mean with this? MY Grid install fails when it's trying to resolved the scan. DO I need to install DNS like he gives in the link above, OR can the install work with the SCAN in the /ect/hosts file? I Personally think this is just wrong, and you have to have DNS working 3 ip round-robin for the SCAN to work.
Please only reply to this thread if you have actually successfully installled 11rg2 Rac (11.0.1) on Oracle Linux 5.8 using VirtualBox, or actually know where i am going wrong by your own experience, not just goggle searching.....but you got it to work....
I am begging on my knees for help with this, since I have been at this for weeks now.
If you help me through this, I'll be your friend
Xev.

Hi Shivendra,
I followed the instructions on shivenracdba: configure DNS for Installtion of Oracle Grid Infrastructure RAC cluster

Now, this is what I for all the files that I have configured......I hope they are right?
Do i need to run the named DNS server on both nodes? It's running on both nodes now...and the service starts..
Here are all my files that pertain to the DNS configuration for RAC.
These are the files that are on "rac" the primary node....

Asmlib and oracleasm permission question for 11gr2 RAC install

Dear All,
I am trying to install 11G RAC on 2 oracle linux 6 machines (it is 2 virtual machines but I hope the principle applied).
I use asmlib package to create sharable disk.
I encounter a lot of user/group permission issue, so I decide to use oracle:oinstall to install my grid software.
Here are my questions:
1. when run oracleasm configuration -iDefault user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba <<<<<<<<<< what group should I use? I see people use oinstall, dba...
2. after mounting /dev/oracleasm directory by using /usr/sbin/oracleasm init, what directory permission should I set?
it is root:root after mount.
I tried to run installer for grid, if I don't change /dev/oracleasm to 766, the ASM disks don't even show up.
Any suggestions?

If you are using single user for grid and database I would set oinstall as the group owner.
You don't need to set permission on /dev/oracleasm.. asmlib will take care of it
Have a read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/storage.htm#CDECEBGH for more information.
Hope it helps

Hi,
it looks like, that your "shared device" you are using is not really shared.
The second node does "create an ASM diskgroup" and create OCR and Voting disks. If this indeed would be a shared device, he should have recognized, that your disk is shared.
So as a result your VMware configuration must be wrong, and the disk you presented as shared disk is not really shared.
Which VMWare version did you use? It will not work correctly with the workstation or player edition, since shared disks are only really working with the server version.
If you indeed using the server, could you paste your vm configurations?
Furthermore I recommend using Virtual Box. There is a nice how-to:

In the first place a 'blue screen' has to be analyzed on the OS side, Oracle COULD be the reason, but who knows? More likely a hardware problem (RAM,disk storage). So you have to ask your system administrator and/or call Microsoft support. Or you try to find an answer in one of the many articles in the web, for example this:

Install 11gR2 RAC Database Problem: Invalid source path /.../Datafiles

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 VMs (rac1 and rac2) whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6 in VMPlayer according to the website http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I have just finished installing Grid infrastructure and start to install RAC database 11gR2.
I have downloaded 2 files from https://edelivery.oracle.com as below:
V17530-01_1of2
V17530-01_2of2
When I start to install the RAC database using the above 2 files but get the error below:
[ora11g@rac1 V17530-01_1of2]$ ls
database
[ora11g@rac1 V17530-01_1of2]$ cd database
[ora11g@rac1 database]$ ls

[ora11g@rac1 database]$ ./runInstaller

: No such file or directory
[ora11g@rac1 database]$
As we see the output above, the error is Invalid source path /../stage/Components/oracle.jdk/1.5.0.17.0/1/DataFiles.
My questions are:
First, are the files V17530-01_1of2 and V17530-01_2of2 the correct files for 11gR2 RAC database ?
Second, how to solve the issue "Invalid source path /../stage/Components/oracle.jdk/1.5.0.17.0/1/DataFiles" ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. thanks a lot for replying.
I go up one level ( / ) and run the command again as below:
[root@rac1 /]# du --max-depth=1 -h
Its output:
8.0K ./srv
83M ./sbin
9.0G ./tmp
4.9G ./usr
157M ./var
20M ./boot
8.4M ./bin
3.3G ./u01
252M ./lib
8.0K ./selinux
12K ./mnt
16K ./lost+found
164M ./dev

0 ./proc
248K ./root
0 ./sys
117M ./etc
3.3G ./home
3.5M ./opt
25G .
[root@rac1 /]#
As we see the output above, it seems that 25GB disk space is used and /tmp occupies 9GB.
I have remove the files under /tmp but after reboot OS, the same files come up again under /tmp.
Some folks use 12GB for each of their VMs and is enough to install Grid and RAC Database.
My questions are:
Why my VM with 30GB disk space does not have enough disk space to install RAC database ?
Can any folk help to solve the issue ?
Thanks.

Install Oracle 11gR2 RAC : Cannot remove directory bootstrap under /tmp

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I am installing Grid infrastructure. I am on step 7 of 10 (verify Grid installation enviroment) and get this error:
"Free Space: Rac2: /tmp
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available.
Expected value: n/a
Actual value: n/a "
In order to fix the above error, I run "cluster verification utility" according to
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/rac.112/e10717/cvu.htm I run the following command:
[ora11g@rac1 \]$ /home_grid/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -verbose
Output:
/bin/rm: cannot remove directory '/tmp/bootstrap': Operation not permitted
./runcluvfy.sh:line 99:/tmp/bootstrap/ouibootstrap.log: permission denied
From the above output, we can see the directory bootstrap under /tmp causes the problem. The solution is to remove the directory bootstrap. I run the 2 commands:
[ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rmdir bootstrap
Output: Operation not permitted
[ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rm -rf bootstrap
Output: cannot remove bootstrap: Operation not permitted.
[ora11g@rac2 tmp]$ ls
Output: there is no 'bootstrap' directory.
My questions are:
First, does "cannot remove boostrap in rac1" cause that /tmp in rac2 could not be determine mount point ?
Second, can any folk help to remove the directory bootstrap under /tmp ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. I have just run the 2 commands:
[root@rac2 \]# chown -R ora11g:dba /u01
[root@rac2 \]# chmod -R 775 /u01
ora11g is the user who installs the Grid and /u01 is the directory where Grid is installed and dba is the group.
I go back to Grid Installer Step 7 of 10 in rac1 and check again and see as below:
Free Space: Rac2 : /tmp
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available
Expected Value: n/a
Actual Value: n/a
The problem is not solved after run the above 2 commands in rac2.
In addition, I have run Cluster Verification Utility using the command:
[ora11g@rac1 grid]./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -r 11gR2 -orainv ora11g -verbose
Output: All of items for rac2 are passed. There is only one item for rac1 is failed as below:
Check default user file creation mask:
NodeName: rac1
Available: 0002
Required: 0022
Comment: failed
As we see above, the result of CVU command is not the same with Grid Installer step 7 of 10 (Installation Environment Verification):
CVU command doesn't find /tmp mount point problem for rac2 that Grid Installer does.
Grid Installer step 7 of 10 doesn't find user file creation mask problem for rac1 that CVU command does.
I have tried to find out whether creation mask failed for rac1 causes /tmp problem for rac2. I have changed the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" for rac1 in each of the 3 files below and run CVU command each time for each file:
rac1:
/etc/bashrc
/etc/profile
/etc/csh.cshrc
But chang the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" for rac1 in each of the above 3 files does not solve the problem.
My questions are:
First, why is the result of CVU command not the same with that of Grid Installer step 7 of 10 ?
Second, why change the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" in 3 files can't solve creation mask problem for rac1 ?
Third, how to solve /tmp problem for rac2 and creation mask problem for rac1 ?
Thanks.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC : How to resume runInstaller to continue to install Grid ?

Folks,
Hello.
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer.
I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller from step 1 to step 9 of 10 in both VM rac1 and rac2.
After finish running the script root.sh in VM rac1 and rac2, the Computer is shut down automaticall because I don't touch the keyboad for a long time. When I resume the Computer, runInstaller Wizard is gone. My question is:
How to resume runInstaller to continue to install Grid ?
Thanks.

Hi!
You can't resume runInstaller.
You must Clear you envinronment, and try again.

Installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC Problem: ASM disks

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
At the first time, I create VM rac1. While its OS Oracle Linux 5.6 is booting, initializing ASMLib Driver OK. I create 5 ASM disks successfully using the command:
[root@rac1 /]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ASMDISK1 /dev/sdb1
Output: Marking disk "ASMDISK1" as an ASM disk: OK
Because the hard disk space of rac1 is not enough to install Database, I create VM rac1 again with bigger hard disk space (30GB). I do everything the same with that at the first time. But this time, While OS Oracle Linux 5.6 is booting, initializing ASMLib Driver failed. I create 5 ASM disks using the same command:
[root@rac1 /]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ASMDISK1 /dev/sdb1
Output: Marking disk "ASMDISK1" as an ASM disk: failed
But when I use the command:
[root@rac1 /]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
Output: ASMDISK1 ASMDISK2 ASMDISK3 ASMDISK4 ASMDISK5
My questions are:
First, can the 5 disks "ASMDISK1 ASMDISK2 ASMDISK3 ASMDISK4 ASMDISK5" be used correctly in spite of Marking disk "ASMDISK1(2 3 4 5)" as an ASM disk failed ?
Second, how to fix OS Oracle Linux 5.6 so that initializing ASMLib Driver OK while booting ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. The issue is solved by myself. Thanks.

Cannot Startup Grid in 11gR2 RAC after Install Grid Successfully

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 VMs (main VM rac1 and slave VM rac2) with Oracle Linux 5.6 according to the website http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
Grid and RAC database have been installed successfully for both VMs rac1 and rac2.
I am using the slave VM rac2 to test Grid and RAC database because rac1 disk is full.
The problem is that OCR file is not available or currupted in the slave VM rac2.
I have created a pfile and add entry in the file sqlnet.ora in the slave VM rac2. By now, I still cannot startup Grid as below:
[ora11g@rac2 /]$ cd u01/app/grid/bin/
[ora11g@rac2 bin]$ crsctl status resource

I have checked that there is no the file init+ASM2.ora in the directory '/u02/11g_db/ora11g/dbs'.
As we see the outputs above, my question is:
Can any folk help to solve the issue to start up Grid ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. Let's analyze 3 cases as follows:
Case 1:

SQL> startup pfile='/u01/app/grid/dbs/pfile'
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SQL>
Case 3:
Now, as you indicated, I export ORACLE_SID=racdb2, the output is below:
[ora11g@rac2 bin]$ pwd
/u01/app/grid/bin
[ora11g@rac2 bin]$ export ORACLE_SID=racdb2
[ora11g@rac2 bin]$ ./sqlplus / as sysdba

As we see the ouputs above, export ORACLE_SID=racdb2 doesn't have any effect. My question is:
Can any folk help to solve the above 3 issues to start up Grid ?
Thanks.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux 5

Hi,
I am trying to setup Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux 5.4 64-bit machine. I have used OCFS2 for creating shared disks. Encountered with the following error message while installing "Grid Infrastructure".
[INS-30014] Unable to check wether the location specified is on CFS
[INS-40103] The installer has detected that the software location specified is on an OCFS2 partition.
[IS-41312] One or more locations specified for Oracle cluster Regestry (OCR) cannot be used.
[INS-41514] One or more locations specified for placing voting disks cannot be used.
-- At the time of configuration i have created 2 share disks, 1) For Oracle software 2) For voting disk and OCR
Provided the same details at time of Clusterware installation.
Please hel me.
Thanks,

Actually for both Oracle software and OCR i have used OCFS2. bcz earlier in Oracle 11g1 RAC i did the same and able to do smooth installation Well, you can no more do that with 11gR2 and it's clearly mentioned in 11gR2 Error messages documentation that configuration of grid Infrastructure software for a cluster is not supported on OCFS2 partition. You'll need to specify a location that is not an OCFS2 partition.
Search for the error INS-40103 message at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10880/giinstaller_errormessages.htm
Cheers.
