  • The best option to create  a shared storage for Oracle 11gR2 RAC in OEL 5?

    Hello,
    Could you please tell me the best option to create a shared storage for Oracle 11gR2 RAC in Oracel Enterprise Linux 5? in production environment? And could you help to create shared storage? Because there is no additional step in Oracle installation guide. There are steps for only asm disk creation.
    Thank you.

    Here are names of partitions and permissions. Partitions which have 146 GB, 438 GB, 438 GB of capacity are my storage. Two of three disks which are 438 GB were configured as RAID 5 and remaining disk was configured as RAID 0. My storage is Dell MD 3000i and connected to nodes through ethernet.

  • SCI and RSM for Oracle 9i RAC

    Hi gurus,
    Could you please confirm if we can configure 2 or more SCI interconnects (for Private Interconnects) on a E15K cluster ?
    This is for a High Availability requirement for Oracle 9i RAC. What i need to know is that,
    Assume that i have configured 3 SCI Cards on NODE 1 and 3 SCI Cards on NODE 2. Sun Cluster 3.1 is configured on both nodes.
    1) If i activate all the cluster interconnects on NODE 1 and NODE 2, will Oracle 9i RAC based traffic flow on all the 3 cards for EACH Node, thereby providing 3 gbps of bandwidth ?
    2) What if there is a failure in one of the cards? will the other 2 continue to function, if failover mechanism is configured?
    3) Do i need to do something special for Oracle to be enable to recognise that 1 card has failed and it needs to start transfering packets using the other 2 surviving cards?
    These questions are assuming that it is an SCI card using RSM protocol.
    Will this also be applicable for a Gigabit Ethernet Card running UDP? I have heard that SCI and RSM is a very good combination and just behind the Sun Fireplane interconnects which also uses RSM.
    Is that true?
    Thanks a lot folks.

    Could you please confirm if we can configure 2 or more
    SCI interconnects (for Private Interconnects) on a
    E15K cluster ?This is being tested now. More below...
    This is for a High Availability requirement for Oracle
    9i RAC. What i need to know is that,
    Assume that i have configured 3 SCI Cards on NODE 1
    and 3 SCI Cards on NODE 2. Sun Cluster 3.1 is
    configured on both nodes.
    1) If i activate all the cluster interconnects on NODE
    1 and NODE 2, will Oracle 9i RAC based traffic flow on
    all the 3 cards for EACH Node, thereby providing 3
    gbps of bandwidth ?Bandwidth does not seem to be a problem for RAC.
    Latency is a problem, but adding interconnects won't
    solve the latency problem unless bandwidth was also
    the problem. I haven't been able to find any customers
    who have interconnect bandwidth problems on any
    Sun Cluster, let alone RAC. If you know of any, please
    let me know.
    2) What if there is a failure in one of the cards?
    will the other 2 continue to function, if failover
    mechanism is configured?Yes, that is how it works today for interconnects.
    3) Do i need to do something special for Oracle to be
    enable to recognise that 1 card has failed and it
    needs to start transfering packets using the other 2
    surviving cards?No, under Sun Cluster, this is managed for Oracle.
    These questions are assuming that it is an SCI card
    using RSM protocol.
    Will this also be applicable for a Gigabit Ethernet
    Card running UDP? I have heard that SCI and RSM is a
    very good combination and just behind the Sun
    Fireplane interconnects which also uses RSM.
    Is that true?It is true that low latency networks help performance of
    RAC clusters. However, there does not seem to be a
    direct correlation between interconnect latency and
    performance. There are a number of studies completed
    and in progress on this topic. We can generally say that
    for the same RAC configuration for the same workload,
    the lower latency interconnects will perform better. But
    beyond that, the problem gets complex quickly and YMMV.

  • A good tutorial for Oracle BI Publisher

    Hi,
    I am new to BI Publisher. I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 and want to build reports in it. I found BI Publisher a good tool for building reports, based on its features on OTN and now I want a good working tutorial for using it. Is there anything?
    Thanks,
    S/\EE|)

    Hi Saeed, a good starting point would be the BI Publisher user guide. Please check the link for the documentation on the latest release: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/bi_pub.html
    Also when you install the desktop installation, you will find some sample template and XML data at - "C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\samples" or the path where you installed it.
    In case you plan to use APIs, sample codes are available in the user guide. And if you are in EBS environment, I am sure you will like the blog link maintained by Tim on how to get started with APIs: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/newsItems/departments/xmlpForEBusinessSuite/2007/03/12

  • Shared Storage allocation for Oracle 10g RAC

    Hi,
    I am about to implement a Two Node Oracle 10g RAC on Windows 2008 (32-Bit) servers. We are going to use EVA4400 storeage and we have 600 GB for Oracle RAC and database.
    I intend to follow the steps given in RACGuides_Rac10gR2OnWindows.pdf mentioned in Note 811271.1 (RAC Assurance Support Team: RAC Starter Kit and Best Practices (Windows)).
    I would like to know how should I allocated the storage for OCR,Vote, Database and Flash Recovery Area. Meaning how many LUNs and of what size to be created and presented to both the servers. To start with I need to create a 25 GB database. We will be using Raw Device for OCR and Vote and ASM for Database and Flash Recovery Area.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Thiru

    I am about to implement a Two Node Oracle 10g RAC on Windows 2008 (32-Bit) servers. Oracle 10g on Windows 2008 is not supported. Anyway installing a cluster as of today i would use a 64-bit operating system together with a 64-bit database. Everything else is not state-of-the-art anymore.
    As of today i would go with 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0) plus latest patches for Clusterware and ASM. Because you are using Windows 2008 you must use 11g Release 1 for the database as well. Bear in mind that Windows 2008 R2 is at this point in time not supported for 11g R1 or 11g R2 either.
    I would like to know how should I allocated the storage for OCR,Vote, Database and Flash Recovery Area. Meaning how many LUNs and of what size to be created and presented to both the servers. This is said in the installation documents. Rule of thumb: At least three LUNs of 2 GB for OCR and three LUNs of 2 GB for Voting disk.
    To start with I need to create a 25 GB database. We will be using Raw Device for OCR and Vote and ASM for Database and Flash Recovery Area.According to Oracles recommendations: Two disk groups: one for database files, the other for the flashback area.
    But your setup may be different (more disk groups,....)

  • Enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g RAC db

    Hello
    What are the steps to enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g cluster database?
    It is currentrly in noarchivelog mode.
    Thank you,
    Yelena

    Hi.
    I think that this has been improved in 10g, so that we can do an exclusive mount on any database in a RAC without setting cluster_database to false. Also the parameter log_archive_start has been depreciated so the steps is simply (assuming that you by default wants to use db_recovery_file_dest to store archived redo logs)
    1) Shutdown immediate (instance 1)
    2) Startup mount
    3) Alter database archivelog
    4) Alter database open
    Repeat this sequence for all nodes in the RAC.
    And the best is to leave the log_archive_format by it's default value, to ensure that the incarnation of the database is represented in the archive log name.
    (On 10g, backupsets and archivelogs are usable beyond different reincarnation of a database, so there is a good change that S% or s% will repeat itself after an open resetlogs).
    Hopes this might help you.
    Good Luck

  • Query regarding the tutorial for Oracle Service Bus (OSB 10gR3)

    Hi,
    I am working on a tutorial of Oracle Service Bus (OSB 10gR3).
    I have created the proxy service and the Business Service, using Oracle Service Bus console.
    The details are as follows:
    Proxy service: LoanGateway
    Business service1: A value of 4.9 or less causes the message to be routed to the ManagerLoanReview business service.
    Business service2: A value of 5.0 or greater causes the message to be routed to the NormalLoan business service.
    When i send the request message, so that it gets routed from proxy service to one of the business service than it gives following error.

    I have the same problem and I'm not able to telnet localhost on port 7021. How can I change this port number I think that port must be 7001, it is correct?Examples server domain is pre-configured for port 7021. The samples domain will have the examples properly deployed in this domain out of box. You dont need to change any thing in {BEA_HOME}\osb_10.3\samples\domains\servicebus\config.
    I doubt this has to do something with firewall . Check the last statement in the log after starting the domain.

  • RAW disks for Oracle 10R2 RAC NO SUN CLUSTER

    Yes you read it correctly....no Sun cluster. Then why am I on the Forum right? Well we have one Sun Cluster and another that is RAC only for testing. Between Oracle and Sun, neither accept any fault for problems with their perfectly honed products. Currently, I have multipathed fiber hba's to a Storedge 3510, and I've tried to get Oracle to use a raw lun for the ocr and voting disks. It doesn't see the disk. I've made sure they are stamped for oracle:dba, and tried oracle:oinstall. When presenting /dev/rdsk/C7t<long number>d0s6 for the ocr, I get a "can not find disk path." Does Oracle raw mean SVM raw? Should I create metadisks?

    "Between Oracle and Sun, neither accept any fault for problems with their perfectly honed products"...more specific:
    Not that the word "fault" is characterization of any liability, but a technical characterization of acting like a responsible stakeholder when you sell your product to a corporation. I've been working on the same project for a year, as an engineer. Not withstanding a huge expanse of management issues over the project, when technical gray areas have been reached, whereas our team has tried to get information to solve the issue. The area has become a big bouncing hot potato. Specifically, when Oracle has a problem reading a storage device, according to Oracle, that is a Sun issue. According to Sun, they didn't certify the software on that piece of equipment, so go talk to Oracle. In the sun cluster arena, if starting the database creates a node eviction from the cluster, good luck getting any specific team to say, that's our problem. Sun will say that Oracle writes crappy cluster verify scripts, and Oracle will say that Sun has not properly certified the device for use with their product. Man, I've seen it. The first time I said O.K. how do we avoid this in the future, the second time I said how did I let this happen again, and after more issues, money spent, hours lost, and customers, pissed --do the math.   I've even went as far as say, find me a plug and play production model for this specific environment, but good luck getting two companies to sign the specs for it...neither wants to stamp their name on the product due to the liability.  Yes your right, I should beat the account team, but as an engineer, man that's not my area, and I have other problems that I was hired to deal with.  I could go on.  What really is a slap in face is no one wants to work on these projects, if given the choice with doing a Windows deployment, because they can pop out mind bending amounts of builds why we plop along figuring out why clusterware doesn't like slice 6 of a /device/scsi_vhci/ .  Try finding good documentation on that.  ~You can deploy faster, but you can't pay

  • Shared Disk Subsystem for Oracle 10g RAC

    I am investigating the feasibility of clustering two 220Rs together in an Oracle 10g RAC configuration. Can I use a D1000 disk array for the shared storage between the two nodes? Can you briefly describe how to do it or point me to documentation on how to do it?

    hi dstmark,
    can you kindly share some information with me? i am thinking of building up a small lab at home using A1000 to build up an Oracle RAC, as a1000 have 2 scsi port and have a build in controller.
    but i am unsure about the detail software requirement, as google return some conflict information.
    is SUN cluster would be enough? do i need to get something like Veritas Cluster? which may require a license key....
    thanks for sharing information.

  • Support for Oracle 10g RAC?

    Will Oracle 10g RAC be supported in 8.1SP4? If so, when is it scheduled for release?
    In the mean time, has anyone used 10g RAC and can share their experience?
    Thanks,
    Guy

    First, tell us your current skill set - especially as it relates to Oracle database. Then we can give you the right advice.

  • Certification for Oracle 9 RAC and GPFS 3.1

    Hi all,
    I have a banking application with necessarily has to use Oracle 9.2 RAC.
    ( The cerification on Oracle 10g RAC is in plan but it will take a lot ).
    At the moment we have to plan a porting on AIX 5.3 environment on a p5 system and the customer prefers to use JFS so GPFS has to be installed. The current version of GPFS is 3.1.
    I saw that Oracle 9 RAC is certified on AIX 5.3 and HACMP 5.3 on metalink but not for GPFS 3.1. ( It seems only for GPFS 2.3 )
    There are plans to certify this environment, AIX 5.3 + GPFS 3.1 + Oracle 9.2? And how long Oracle 9.2 will be supported?
    Thank you

    Folks,
    I noticed Oracle 9.2 is not certified for use with WLS 6.1, but is certified with
    WLS 7.0SP1. A couple fof questions:
    1) Can the driver and OCI libs provided with WLS7.0SP1 be used in WLS6.1?probably not easily. Class changes etc. If we do package the driver separately, then
    yes it will work.
    >
    2) Is there a down side to using Oracle's JDBC driver instead of the WLS jDriver?Oracle 'support'. Other than that, our type-2 is more reliable than theirs, but their type-4
    driver is what I'd start with.
    >
    Will this work properly in a WLS6.1/Oracle 9.2 combination?sure. Just because we don't test every new driver with all old server versions,
    doesn't mean they won't work. We will always work with any jdbc driver
    from anywhere, as long as it is standard.
    >
    3) Can the Oracle 9.0.1 libs provided with WLS 6.1 communicate with Oracle 9.2?
    Is this in any way preferred to using Oracle's JDBC driver?Oracle does try to maintain backward compatibility so it should work, but later
    stuff usually has some bugs fixed...

  • DO I need SFRAC for Oracle 10g RAC  on Sun Solaris

    My platform is SUN Solaris 10 64 bit on v490 server. On the backend side, we are using EMC CX500 storage. We will use Veritas File system and Veritas CFS.
    I would like to ask, Do I must need SFRAC to configure Oracle 10g RAC or Can I just use only Oracle CRS. I do not want to use ASM.
    Please advise
    Thanks,
    Sam..

    The VCFS usually requires a Veritas Cluster, thus you would have to use the product combination that is bundled as SFRAC as mentioned before. Metalink in addition says:
    10      10gR2 64-bit      Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC      5.0      Certified
    There is one exception to this rule: Linux.
    Veritas and Oracle support a standalone version of the Veritas Cluster Files System (and only this component) on Linux. This does not hold true for Solaris.
    Concluding, if you want to use the VCFS you would need to get a VCS, which then basically means using SFRAC.
    However, in this case, as mentioned before, you would not need ASM.

  • Any idea about the pricing of the hardwares for Oracle 10g RAC?

    Hi,
    If I go for 2 nodes RAC using Dell servers and Disk array, any ideas about the prices? (just for the hardwares.)
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Jason

    It's all about the shared disk(s).
    If you are only ever going to use two (2) nodes a SCSI JBOD solution is cheap. (practical too with ASM as the cluster filesystem / volume manager)
    More than 2 nodes, you step up to certified NFS, iSCSI or FC/AL connected storage. More expensive, faster, more flexible.
    The computers are the cheapest portion of the cost especially with multiple core multiple cpu 64bit linux based servers being so inexpensive.

  • Oracle-10g RAC on VMware installed on Windows-7(Host)

    Hi,
    My host OS is Windows-7. Docs. posted on this forum for RAC on VMware says: your Host OS should be Centos OS and in which you will install VMware and Client tools also. In this way u can clone another RAC2 machine.
    But I have Oracle VM Virtual Box installed on Windows-7. Another is VMware Player installed on Windows-7.
    I want to install Oracle-10g RAC on my Laptop. Please any suggestions or Docs. related to this.
    Shakeel

    Hi,
    while this is a documentation of 11gR2 it gives enough information on how to setup a RAC in a VBox environment:
