  • Oracle 10g Database Installation In Active-Passive Mode.

    Good Afternoon !!!!
    We are installing Oracle 10g in Active-Passive Mode on HP UX-11.3 , with ASM. Can someone help me with step wise installation procedure for the same.
    Many Thank's
    Rajeev.

    Check on the release notes for your platform
    This is for x86-64 Linux.. read it all, then you'll find the "6 Documentation Corrections and Additions" section you'll find the RPMs that you need
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15666/toc.htm
    then go to the official doc installation of 10gR2 on x86-64 Linux
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
    Yum is a package management tool. This is what you'll be using to install the RPMs. But first you'll have to setup the Yum repository, usually what I do is stage the DVD media on the server then make it as a repository. If ever there's a specific (higher) version that I need then I just pull it on the RedHat Network.
    There are a lot of HOWTOs about Yum. You may read on this link http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/

  • Oracle Active / Passive Cluster Installation

    Hi everybody,
    I have searched a lot about installation of Active / Passive Cluster installation in Oracle on Linux, neverthless nowehere I found it.
    Can anyone help me to install it or send me any documentation about it from start to end.

    Hi,
    if you are talking to a High Availability feature in OAS 11g then check the following document.

  • Active - Passive Cluster

    Hey, I have to manage an active passive cluster on SLES10 SP4. Oracle 10.2.0.4
    All oracle binaries are on a DRBD Device on mountpoint /oradata.
    This mountpoint includes the binaries and all datafiles.
    I havent installed these systems. At one stage on node died and got reinstalled by a systemadministrator.
    After a switch from the running node to the standby node, the cluster is not starting.
    Jan 3 14:36:01 a logger: Cluster Ready Services waiting on dependencies. Diagnostics in /tmp/crsctl.6114.
    Jan 3 14:36:14 a logger: Waiting for Oracle CSS service to be available before starting
    Jan 3 14:36:14 a logger: ASM instance +ASM. Wait 2.
    After issung $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add the cluster is starting, the asm instance is coming up, and also the database instance is starting.
    Shortly after that the db instance dies. Alertlog is showing something like recursive sql error.
    Looks like writing to the datafiles is not working.
    In asmcmd the diskgroups are showing DISMOUNTED (show MOUNTED before)
    so what to do ?
    a) Why is it necessary to issue "localconfig add" to make the cluster starting ?
    b) What could be a reason for not being able to write to the database ?
    c) How would you guys install an active/passive cluster ?
    c1) Install OS on both nodes
    c2) Install oracle binaries
    c2.1) on both nodes in the local files system and do the mapping to the drbd afterwards?
    c2.2) only on one node and just switch the mountpoint ?
    Chris

    Hi,
    first of all please clarify, if you have Oracle clusterware installed, or just the local configuration for local ASM.
    There is a big difference between the 2, and also using DRBD has nothing to do with Oracle clusterware (and is not supported by Oracle).
    a.) Localconfig may be necessary for a local ASM installation in 10.2. Main reason is, that the CSS service configuraton includes the hostname (which changed if you switched nodes). Hence may not be able to start ASM. With localconfig you are fixing this issue.
    Very important: It is not a good idea to run this is a cluster configuration, since it will break things (a lot of things).
    b.) If the ASM diskgroup got dismouned, then the database cannot write. Hence your problem. Why the diskgroup dismounted, you should find in the ASM alert.log
    c.) I would go for RAC One Node. Which has this all preconfigured. So it makes life easier. Search for "RAC One Node" on OTN for more information. At least I would take a manual cluster, and do mirroring by ASM, and not DRBD....
    c1.) Yes install Oracle cluster (or Grid infrastucture in 11.2) on both nodes. Like a RAC.
    c2) Install database software on both nodes locally.
    c2.1) No. No DRDB.
    c2.2) Both nodes. Same installation.

    Please see the above notes for anwers. Hope it helps.
    Though Oracle says that it does not need third party cluster software for RAC installation (Note:259301.1)
    , my experience on AIX was different, without HACMP in place we could not install Oracle CRS.
    On windows and Linux you do not need third party cluster software (Note:183408.1) ) and I did not need to use any third party cluster software on Linux platform.

  • How to install oracle EM 11.2.0 at the VCS active passive node ?

    Dear all Gurus
    Anyone can help me for the installation of the Oracle EM 11.2.0 on the Veritas cluster storage with the active & passive node. we have 2 host name pscsdbhost1 & pscsdbhost2. I did try to install using :
    emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
    at the node 1 - pscsdbhost1, after installation completed, i was able to bring up the EM, run perfectly and no issue at all, then when i fail over to the 2nd server and install at the 2nd server pscsdbhost2 using same command :
    emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
    I was able to bring up also and run perfectly, however after this,
    everytime i failed over to any of the server's both doesnt work anymore.
    Anyone can advice me how to setup on this situation ?
    Please help,
    Thanks
    Regards
    Surya

    why you install it when EM are installed when you install database?
    did you try to recreate it?
    emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
    DROP USER sysman CASCADE;
    DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM setemviewusercontext;
    DROP ROLE mgmt_user;
    DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM mgmt_target_blackouts;
    DROP USER mgmt_view;
    emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create -cluster
    emca -displayConfig dbcontrol -cluster

  • Active Passive Vs Active Active

    Hi All,
    How much more effort it requires to failover or get up and ready with passive node, if Active Passive strategy is followed rather than Active Active just for saving on licenses.
    Note : High availability is not a concern.
    thanks,

    Be clear what the policy means. RAC is normally considered an ACTIVE/ACTIVE solution since all nodes in RAC are actively processing. In an ACTIVE/PASSIVE setup by contrast one or more nodes are actively processing whilst others are standing by ready to take over the workload in the event of failure of the primary. Physical Standby, Failsafe and non-oracle clusters are often Active/Passive. You may also check if the policy comes from a sqlserver centric view of the world where you split the sqlserver databases between different nodes, so that although for any given sql database the solution is active passive, you don't 'waste' the resources of some nodes just waiting to take over, but rather run other databases on them.
    Your description of ACTIVE/ACTIVE seems to rather correspond to a Stretch Cluster http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/1126_Ray_WP.pdf has a good overview of what this means. I'd be surprised if the policy was really to put all databases on just about the most expensive hardware and software solution available, but I'm used to surprises in the world of corporate policies.

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure: Active/passive Clusters

    Full blown RAC instances are still relatively rare. Maybe the high costs are one of the main reasons for this. Anyway, many SAP/Oracle installations don't really require a fault tolerant database. A simple automatic failover in an active/passive cluster would be sufficient.
    In the book "Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux"  I found a very interessting comment on page 28:
    A little known fact is that using Oracle Grid Infrastructure makes it very simple to set up a cost effective active/passive cluster. Leveraging the Grid Infrastructure API and Oracleu2019s Automatic Storage Management as a cluster logical volume manager makes it easy to constantly monitor a single instance Oracle database. In case of a node failure, the database will automatically be relocated to the standby node. Depending on the fast_start_mttr_target initialization parameter and the size of the recovery set, the failover to the standby node can be very quick; however, users will be disconnected from the database as part of the failover process.
    Now I have two questions:
    1. If I want to create a proof of concept, where do I start? I already had a look at the Oracle 11g documentation, but in the documentation "cluster" equals "RAC".
    2. It is not sufficient to perform only a database failover. We need to handle the SAP system as well. Is it supported by SAP to put /usr/sap/SID and /sapmnt/SID into ASM 11.2 and present them e.g. as ASM cluster file systems?
    Regards,
    Mark

    Hello Stefan,
    we are both on one line. I would also prefer a simple active-passive cluster setup to a full blown RAC or even a RAC One Node. especially if the license fee for Clusterware is significantly lower than for RAC. However, Oracle staff makes it really clear that Oracle does not want customers to implement active-passive clusters based on Clusterware without RAC. They even say this active-passive cluster is no longer supported on 11.2. by Oracle! Of course it worked fine with 11.1 and there is no reason why it should be technically no longer possible with 11.2. WIth this adverse winds from Oracle blowing in our face, it doesn't make sense to implement such a active-passive cluster any more, however elegent it might have been technically.
    So let's see what the alternatives are and when RAC One Node will be available (and at what price!).
    Regards,
    Mark

  • Installing Remote Blob Storage (RBS) Provider on Active/Passive cluster

    We are implementing RBS for our SharePoint farm and have successfully got it installed and working for all Content Databases.
    I've read a dozen or so guides but none of them cover installing on a clustered SQL environment and I need to install the RBS provider on the passive node but cant see any guides that mention it although its stated Clustering is supported.
    Can anyone tell the correct way to install it on the passive node?

    Hi Dr_Sanchez,
    According to
    this blog, it is supported to install remote blob storage provider on SQL Server active passive cluster. You could follow the installation steps in that blog. If you get an error like this:
    Cannot use file 'c:\Blobstore' for clustered server. Only formatted files on which the cluster resource of the server has a dependency can be used. Either the disk resource containing the file is not present in the cluster group or the cluster resource of
    the Sql Server does not have a dependency on it.
    Then please replace 'c:\Blobstore' with the volume\directory which resides in the same group in the Cluster Administrator as the SQL Server resources.

  • Install of Data Services as active/passive behind F5 load balancers

    I currently have two RedHat 5.5 x86_64 hosts, SAP_DS1 and SAP_DS2, and 1 database, Oracle RAC 11g and 1 F5 LTM load balancer sitting in front of the two hosts. The F5 load balancer VIP is set up as active/passive (fail-over) for the two hosts.
    Will I need 2 local databases 1 central database or can I accomplish this with one local database?
    Please advise on the recommended method for installing BOBJ DATA SERVICES XI 3.2 on two Linux hosts in an active/passive design.
    Thanks

  • Can you Setup a Active Passive DFS namespace in the same site

    Hi,
    I would like to use DFS for profile replication. I know MS doesn't recommend it, but was wondering if you could setup DFS namespace in an Active/ passive contests in the same AD site. I think or what I can understand of DFS is that if the Fileserver is in
    the same site it would select it randomly and you cant specify which server is the primary.
    Basically what I want is to have users only access File server 1, but if this file server 1 goes down to be redirected to file server 2.
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    You could have a read-only Replica but that really doesn't help you in terms of the automatic redirection thing.  You could also set up a 2-node replication group and disable the referral for the folder(s) on one node like below:
    However the "failover" would be manually Enabling, which I doubt fits the bill. 
    Otherwise, I'm not aware of any configuration of DFSR that allows you to do what you're talking about (maybe someone else will correct me.)  HOWEVER, I suspect a design that fits your use case may be to create a DFS namespace that runs
    on a file server cluster.  That way if Node1 goes down, the cluster fails over,  and the data continues to be available on Node2 when accessed via DFS.
    If interested, there are a couple ways to approach DFS in combination with a cluster. 
    Configuration1:  The cluster is configured to host the namespace as well as the folder targets (where the actual data is).  CAVEAT - The cluster can only be configured as a standalone cluster.
    Configuration2:  Create a domain DFS namespace that resides on other servers. 
    \\domain\DFSRoot for example.  Then point each of the leaves/folder targets to clustered shares. So you'd create a subfolder called "Profiles" that points to the clustered share that houses the profiles.
    Just an idea.  Hope this helps.

  • Error with concurrent users- Activation Passivation Bind variable ?

    I have a programmatic view object based on procedure call that returns a ref cursor.
    Application Module has a function that exposes get Method for this View object using client interface.
    Everything works good until many users call the same Method ,for many concurrent users i got the below error intermittently :
    JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation.
    Attempt to set a parameter name that does not occur in the SQL: bussId
    For 1 or 2 users this works perfectly fine.
    bussId is a bind variable defined at View object of type Array.
    I understand this should be because of activation/passivation as many users calling same function comes to picture.
    To solve this I overloaded activateState/passivateState in View implementation for the bind var.
    But i don't see those methods getting invoked ever.
    I also enabled connection pool/AM pool and kept the default pool values high enough for concurrent users.
    Nothing works .
    Appreciate any help in this regard.

  • Non-domain user authentication against SSAS on Active/Passive Cluster

    Hello,
    We have an Active/Passive SQL Server setup (DB1 & DB2 Servers) connected to a cluster for SQL & SSAS.  I have a web server not on the same domain that I am trying to authenticate with SSAS.  This works OK if I set the website to impersonate
    myUser and I add local account myUser as an Admin on SSAS for the active server (DB1).  But when this fails over to DB2 then it fails to authenticate.  SSAS won't allow us to add myUser as an admin for local accounts on both DB1 & DB2 as it errors
    adding the second one.  Could anyone advise how such a scenario should be approached?
    We have tried creating a domain user too which DB1 & DB2 can of course both share but I don't think the web server can impersonate this with being not part of the domain.
    Thanks.

    Hi Jcorker,
    According to your description, you need to access the SQL Serve Analysis Services database which is configured as cluster for SQL & SSAS from another domain, right?
    In SSAS we can use the solution below achieve the requirement.
    1.Create new domain account and impersonate the web site with that.
    2.Create local user account on the analysis service with same exact username/password as like domain account created in the previous step.
    However, you cannot create a local account with the same name on both servers. I have tested it on my local environemnt, we can create the same local account with the same name on both servers. In your scenario, if DB1 and DB2 on different server, you can
    create a local account with the same name on both servers. Please post the detail errors, so that we can make further analysis.
    Besides, SSAS only allows users of the same domain or trusted domains and it does not allow users from any domain except from these two. You can configure the trust relationship between the domains.
