Clusterware Nodes configuration

Dear Gurus,
I require some help regarding my RAC.
Recently we added/removed nodes from the cluster,
now when I am configuring the EM control
"emca -config dbcontrol db -cluster -repos create -CLUSTER_NAME racdb -EM_NODE node1,node2 -EM_SID_LIST db1,db2"
I get the following error
PRKC-10164 : invalid node list
the node list shown here contains 2 of the nodes which are now offloaded...
Does anyone know how to make sure that they have been completely removed from the cluster registry/conf?
Thanks
Saad

Hi,
This is expected behaviour as node number is transparent to user.
If node number must be restored, the only way is to deconfig and reconfig the entire cluster, refer for deconfig/reconfig to note 399482.1 for pre-11gR2 and note 1377349.1 for 11.2 for details.

R12 Single node to Multi-node Configuration

Hi All!
We have a single node setup (Applications and Database are on the same server). Now, our management decided to setup a Multi-node configuration and i'm the one who will do this.
The plan is to use Oracle ASM and RAC for the database and for the Application is to have a multiple application servers. For the database, we will be using a minimum of 3 servers and another 3 servers for the application. Is this possible? How can this be done. Can someone point or give some link or infos on how to do this. We're going to use the existing data on the single node server.
Thanks and Regards,

Nodes in RAC One Node configuration

Dear all,
11.2 on Windows 2008
What is the maximum number of nodes we can have in RAC one node configuration ?
Yoosuf

Thanks Rafi and Sorry for not making it clear.
The whole configuration will be rac one node (With 4 nodes) with out dataguard implementation.
If the primary site goes down(s1,2 and storage) , can the secondary site wil be up automatically (s3,4 and storage). Please note storage is with ASM (normal redundancy ) primary storage at Head office and Secondary ASM storage at DR
Thanks

Is RAC node configuration when disk array fails on one node .

Hi ,
We recently had all the filesystem of node 1 of RAC cluster , turned into read only mode. Upon further investigation it was revealed that it was due to disks array failure on node 1 . The database instance on node 2 is up and running fine . The OS team are rebuilding the node 1 from scratch and will restore oracle installable from the backup .
My question is once all files are restored :
Do we need to add the node to the RAC configuration ?
Do we need to do relink of oracle binary files ?
Can the node be brought up directly once all the oracle installables are restored properly or will the oRacle team require to perform addition steps to bring the node into RAC configuration .Thanks,
Sachin K

Hi ,
If the restore fails in some way . We will require to first remove and then add the nodes to the node 1 cluster right ? Kindly confirm on the below steps.
In case of such situation below are the steps we plan to follow:
version ; 10.2.0.5
Affected node :prd_node1
Affected instance :PRDB1
Surviving Node :prd_node2
Surviving instance: PRDB2
DB Listener on prd_node1:LISTENER_PRD01
ASM listener on prd_node1:LISTENER_PRDASM01
DB Listener on prd_node2:LISTENER_PRD02
ASM listener on prd_node2:LISTENER_PRDASM02
Login to the surviving node .In our case its prd_node2
Step 1 - Remove ONS information :
Execute as root the following command to find out the remote port number to be used
$cat $CRS_HOME/opmn/conf/ons.config
and remove the information pertaining the node to be deleted using
#$CRS_HOME/bin/racgons remove_config prd_node1:6200
Step 2 - Remove resources :
In this step, the resources that were defined on this node has to be removed. These resources include (a) Database (b) Instance (c) ASM. A list of this can
be acquired by running crs_stat -t command from any node
The srvctl remove listener command used below is only applicable in 10204 and higher releases including 11.1.0.6. The command will report an error if the
clusterware version is less than 10204. If clusterware version is less than 10204, use netca to remove the listener
srvctl remove listener -n prd_node1 -l LISTENER_PRD01
srvctl remove listener -n prd_node1 -l LISTENER_PRDASM01
srvctl remove instance -d PRDB -i PRDB1
srvctl remove asm -n prd_node1 -i +ASM1
Step 3 Execute rootdeletenode.sh :
From the node that you are not deleting execute as root the following command which will help find out the node number of the node that you want to delete
#$CRS_HOME/bin/olsnodes -n
this number can be passed to the rootdeletenode.sh command which is to be executed as root from any node which is going to remain in the cluster.
#$CRS_HOME/install/rootdeletenode.sh prd_node1,1
Step 5 Update the Inventory :
From the node which is going to remain in the cluster run the following command as owner of the CRS_HOME. The argument to be passed to the CLUSTER_NODES is a
comma seperated list of node names of the cluster which are going to remain in the cluster. This step needs to be performed from once per home (Clusterware,
ASM and RDBMS homes).
## Example of running runInstaller to update inventory in Clusterware home
$CRS_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORA_CRS_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=prd_node2" CRS=TRUE
## Optionally enclose the host names with {}
## Example of running runInstaller to update inventory in ASM home
$CRS_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ASM_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=prd_node2"
## Optionally enclose the host names with {}
## Example of running runInstaller to update inventory in RDBMS home
$CRS_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=prd_node2"
## Optionally enclose the host names with {}
We need steps to add the node back into the cluster . Can anyone please help us on this ?
Thanks,

Call Library Function (DLL) Node Configuration

This issue was discussed few times on this forum (see for example http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=182911 ), but I still have a problem.
My question is - how to define the call to DLL without to specify its full path in order to be able to change the directory path without to change all calls to DLL functions within VI.
So, I did:
1. I put my DLL and my VI in the same directory.
2. I defined this directory in VI search path. This directory also defined as enviroment variable.
3. I use only one call to DLL in this specific VI (just as example in order to simplify the problem).
4. I define only DLL name without the path in CLF Node.
But, every time when I close CLF Node configution window, the program search for the DLL, find it and put full DLL path inside.
I will be very thankful if anyone can help me to overcome this problem.
Best regards,
Boris

Hello Boris,
To sum up the previous posts, when you specify the DLL when configuring the Call Library Function
node, internally LabVIEW stores in the VI either 1) the name of the
DLL, or 2) a relative path from the VI to the DLL (including the name
of the DLL). What's displayed in the dialog (in 'Library Name or Path'
field) is either 1) the name of the DLL, or 2) an absolute path that is
formed by appending the DLL's relative path to the VI's absolute path.
In
case 1, LabVIEW uses the Windows system search paths to load the DLL.
That is, it looks for the DLL in \windows\system32 folder, then if not
found there, it uses the folders specified in the PATH environment
variable, etc.
In case 2, LabVIEW tries to load the DLL from the
computed absolute path (VIs current path combined with the relative
path to the DLL that LabVIEW stored internally). And if not found
there, LabVIEW uses the VI Search Path (that can be set from Tools »
Options in the category of Paths).
So even though LabVIEW automatically puts an absolute path to the DLL
in the Call Library Function Node, as long as you will specify the
correct folder for the DLL in the VI Search Path, you should be Ok. However, if you want to
have a fixed location for the DLL, then it is best to keep it in the
\windows\system32 folder, and specify just the name of the DLL when
configuring the Load Library Function node (this way LabVIEW will not
automatically turn it into an absolute path).
Also, these knowledge base articles might be helpful:
Why Does My VI Prompt for My DLL Every Time I Open It?
LabVIEW Searching for a DLL Used in the Call Library Function Node
My Stand-Alone Executable Cannot Find My DLL, Even Though I Have Specified the Path for the DLL
Hope this helps and good luck with your application!

Cache / application node configuration

Hi!
I am doing a Coherense evaluation and yesterday I talked to the UK Tangosol office that suggested I post these questions here to more quickly get answers. I hope you can help.
I would like to configure a number of nodes to ONLY hold data for a distributed cache. Let us call them cache nodes.
A number of other nodes should be configured to participate in the same distributed cache but not hold any data. They will use a "near" cache with the distributed cache as "back cache". This is the nodes were my application logic will go. Let us call them application nodes.
My first question is if I must have the same configuration on the cache nodes as I have on the application nodes (i.e. must I use a "near cache" even though I do not need or want a "front cache" here since nobody will access the data locally? I assume that the invalidation of even an empty front cache has some associated cost and this is another reason to not have one when not needed.
My second question is if I must make som special provisions in my CacheStore (that will use JDBC to sync with a database) to ensure that modified data will either not be written to either the cache or the database or both (for instance in the event of a critical hardware failure of the cache node calling the CacheStore during a call to one of the "store" or "erase" methods) - or is this "automagically" taken care of some how by the layer above the CacheStore? Is the answer the same or different if I use replication of the data in the replicated cache or not? My plan is to NOT use replication and instead take the hit that some cache data is lost (will be reloaded if needed later) in the event of a critical error killing one of the cache nodes. If I must do something special in the CacheStore to ensure that the database and cache is always coherent I would like some example code that i can start from...
My third question is if my proposed configuration is fully coherent or is it theoretically possible that a client can send a request that modify an object to one of the application node and then (assuming my load balancer is NOT sticky) immediately requests the same data from another application node and get the OLD object value back? I.e. is the update/invalidation from/to the near caches synchronous or asynchronous? If this is a "possible" scenario is there anything that can be done to avoid it with this setup (except getting a sticky load balancer)?
Lastly if you happen to sit on some configuration examples that set up exactly this kind of scenario (or something very close to it) I would appreciate having a look at them. I have found some examples on the forum but none that do the same thing...
Best Regards
MagnusE

Thanks for your quick and informative answer Jon! I need to think more about some of your points to make sure i understand the implications. A few quick follow-up questions though:
With a write-through cache, Coherence will call your
CacheStore implementation before updating the cache,
and so the database will always have the most current
version of the data, even in the event of a cache
server failure.But will the cache also get the new verssion of thew data somehow in the event of a failure (that oocur just after the data has been stored in the database but before the storage node managed to put it in the cache) or will this cause non-coherence between database and cache? Will the application node get an exception back from its put operation in this case (so it at least is aware that the data may not have gone into both the cache and the database)?
What happens if the data store fail to put the data in the database (due to a database constraint or a database failure etc) and the store method in the datastore class throws an exception? Will the storage node still put the new (or changed) object in the cache (causing a non-coherence between databse and cache) or not?
Do you have some documentation that explains how the product handles all the known "corner cases" (like failures during or just after the datastore methods are called etc - it would be valuable since they are often the cause of the rare but really nasty problems...
Best Regards
Magnus

Changing heap memory paramter and Additonal Java node configuration

Hi All,
Kindly provide me the procedure to change the heap memory parameter and location (in Visual admin). How to install/configure 2nd Java server node in PI system.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramesh,
You would have posted this question in Netweaver Administrator forum...
Well here are the answers.
Login to Configtool.
Expand Cluster-Data->instance<xx>->dispatcher. On the right hand side you can change the heap size for the dispatcher
Follow the same procedure to increase the server heap memory.
To add the server node click on instance<xx>. Then click Server->Add server.

Need best practice advice on RAC 2 nodes configuration/setup

I need to implement 2 RAC nodes with linux redhat 5.
Right now I did ifconfig, and it shows:
ifconfig | grep "^[eb]"
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:03:73:EE:7E:7F
eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:03:73:EE:7E:7F
eth0:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:03:73:EE:7E:7F
eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:03:73:EE:7E:81
eth3:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:03:73:EE:7E:81
eth4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:03:73:EE:7E:83
eth5 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:03:73:EE:7E:85
I did not see any bond0 or bond 1.
I think oracle recommend privet interconnect to be bonded. We use CTP-BO , so I want to know should I request to bond the interface plus service?
What is the command to test that the interface are setup right?
Thank you for all the response in advance.

Which version are you setting up and what are the requirements? IF you are discussing the use of NIC bonding for high availability beginning in 11.2.0.2 there is a concept of "High Availability IP" of HAIP as discussed in the pre-installation chapters,
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/prelinux.htm, section 2.7.1 Network Hardware Requirements.
In essence, using HAIP eliminates the need to use NIC bonding to provide for redundancy.

Admin node in Multi node Configuration

Hi,
Admin used to apply patches / run ad utilities and to run the upgrade tools.
If we only one MT then that will be the Admin node.
In my Case i am having the 2 middle tier nodes and 1 DMZ node and all all nodes having the
s_isAdmin variable ' YES ' in Context file.
In this case from where i need to run the .patches / run ad utilities and to run the upgrade tools ?
EBS version: 11.5.10
--Thanks
Vijay
Edited by: Vijay.Cherukuri on Aug 10, 2012 4:05 PM

Thanks for your reply Husein,
I have checked the mount points on all application nodes.
The APPL_TOP mount point is comming from (/test/applmgr) from same mount point (same filer )across all the nodes.
My other Question is
In case of non shared APPL_TOP , Admin should come from all nodes right ?
Means we need to apply patches or need to do upgrade on all nodes separately ?
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Webex node configuration..

Hi all!
I am thinking in implementing a webex node, but I can´t find any documentation about how implementing, what do I need? and cost. And if is supported in Mexico. Help, please!
Best regards!

WebEx node went EOL for quite some time now
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/conferencing/webex-node-mcs/end_of_life_notice_c51-704258.html
If you're asking about CWMS, there's plenty of information on cisco.com about.
All the requirements are outlined in the documentation, if you want to know about costs and availability, get in touch with a local Cisco representative.

More information on configuring node connections.

In the Netscape Calendar Server Admin Guide chapter on Managing a Node
Network, there is not sufficient information on configuring SNC connections.
The example provided shows "all:2" with no information on why 2 is a good number
for the example case. Other examples demonstrate increasing the number of connections
for specific nodes with no information on when this is appropriate.

We have configured our network with all:2, but we need documentation that details
how this number should be determined.

Two connections is the minimum in cases where there is one
node configured on each server. The unicwsd requires one connection for processing
of remote node requests and there should be at least one additional connection available
to be used by the clients.

Depending on how much traffic there is between nodes, two connections
might not be sufficient. The 'uninode -snc all' output should give you an
idea if there are not enough connections configured. An example of the output
follows:

uninode: connected to server1, node 10000
 Last reset: 29/6/99 13:00:51
PST8PDT
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 CONNECTION
EX CO AV US LOST RETRY QUEUE CANCEL CHECK GRANTED
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 (10000)->server2(10001) 2
2 2 0
1
0
0
0
36
 (10000)->server3(10002) 2
2 2 1

 (10000)->server4(10003) 2

805
22
 (10000)->server5(10004) 2
2 2 0
0
0
0
0
181
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the example above, there are not enough connections available from
server1 to server4. "US" indicates that there were two connections
used at the time the uninode -snc all was run. "QUEUE" indicates that
there is one unieng process currently waiting for a free connection. "CANCEL"
means that there were x number of processes that did not get a connection, and
"CHECK" indicates the number of times a process had to retry before the request
for an snc connection was either granted or canceled. LOST, QUEUE,
CANCEL, CHECK and GRANTED are values that are reset when the unisncd
is shut down, or when 'uninode -reset' is run.

Note: In cases where there is more than
one node configured on one server, the node connections on that server going to the
other nodes are pooled. That means that any process on that server could use any snc
connection going to a node. In these cases the number of connections
configured could even be as low as all:1. Again, this depends on usage,
and might be subject to fine-tuning.

Hi,
you have to enable this additional measurements by executing
x_cons <dbname> time enable
Kind regards
Holger

Hi Rajeys,
I read all the documents but i was not able to find the information that i was looking. Below i am providing my cluster node configuration and version -
1) No of Node in cluster - 2 (node1 ,node2)
2) OCR (clusterware) version - 10.2.0.4
3) Storage type - NAS storage (we are not using ASM).
Now link provided by you is to upgrade ASM from 10.2.0.3 to 11GR2 but we are not using ASM as storage we are using NAS storage. Do we have any link or document that help me to upgrade oracle clusterware only without ASM from version 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2 .
Thanks in advance

Configuring networking for 11Gr2 RAC

Hi - I have a couple of questions regarding networking and RAC install.
Please could someone clarify what the Virtual IP requirement is for a RAC node, and how one would actually set this up on OEL5 using a DNS server.
All input appreciated - thx

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding networking and RAC install.
Please could someone clarify what the Virtual IP requirement is for a RAC node, and how one would actually set this up on OEL5 using a DNS server.You will need the concept before attempting to install because it is not possible to explain the concept of Oracle Clusterware Network (VIP/SCAN) with a few lines.
