The author of the page uses the h2n tool to generate the DNS configuration files. The examples listed are not examples of the actual DNS configuration files like named.conf, etc., but samples of the configuration files to use with the h2n tool. Perhaps the instructions will work if followed more precisely.

Using ZFS for Oracle RAC 11gR2 binaries

Hi,
We have following scenario,
Two Node Cluster: Oracle RAC 11Gr2 with Clusterware on Solaris 10
We want to keep Oracle & Clusterware binaries on ZFS mirror file system on each node locally and for Data files, FRA, Voting disks & OCR on shared SAN using ASM.
My question, is the above scenario certified by Oracle or can we keep Oracle binaries on ZFS...?
Will appreciate your input.
Thanks

Well my confusion started after reading this doc on oracle support:
Certification of Zeta File System (Zfs) On Solaris 10 for Oracle RDBMS [ID 403202.1]
"Oracle database 10gR2 (10.2.0.3 and higher patches), 11gR1 (11.1.0.6 and higher patches) and 11gR2 (11.2.0.1 and higher patches) are certified with Solaris 10 ZFS on Sparc 64-bit and Solaris x84-64. See Solaris ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide. This is for single instance ONLY. ZFS is currently not applicable to RAC and not Certified to use it as a shared filesystem."

ASM pfile lost in Oracle RAC 11gr2

Hello Gurus,
I am new to Oracle RAC 11gr2 and facing some issues. our spfile/pfile for asm instance is lost and I am not able to startup the asm instance.
Environment is as below:
RAC 2 nodes
Oracle RAC 11gr2
Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/init+ASM1.ora'
Is there any way to recover the spfile/pfile ?
Also getting following error while try to connect " sqlplus / as sysasm"

Hi,
Do we need to Set variable ORACLE_HOME properly (Grid Home) while starting RDBMS instance?
e.g ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid*I recommend you set ORACLE_HOME properly for each Oracle Installation when you use SQLPLUS.
i.e: cat /etc/oratab
orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
db10g:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
+ASM1:/u01/app/11.2.0/gridAlso you can startup/shutdown our database with SQLPLUS using ORACLE NET*, but it must be configured properly.
My recommendation <s>is always</s> use SRVCTL and CRSCTL to manage to your environment. Track all the process of initialization processes through the logs using ADRCI utility (only 11.1 or later).
When use SRVCTL or CRSCTL to manage I recomend you use (GRID HOME).
SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-16038: log 3 sequence# 1067 cannot be archived
ORA-19809: limit exceeded for recovery files
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 2: '+FRA/yyy/onlinelog/group_3.259.738489481'
SQL>I give to you three options:
1° - Add more asmdisk on Diskgroup +FRA
2° - Make backup of all archivelog using RMAN and option delete input (i.e backup archivelog delete all input;)
3° - If this database is for TEST ONLY and you not need backup or recovery of then you can delete all archivelog using RMAN (i.e delete archivelog all;)
I recommend you create routine of backups of the database and archivelog to prevent this area becomes exhausted.
If you need the database in archivelog but it is only to test then create routine to delete archivelogs periodically.
If you dont need the database in archivelog, then just disable it.

Is OCFS2 certified with oracle RAC 11gR2 ?

Hi,
Is OCFS2 certified with oracle RAC 11gR2 ?
Thanks..

ocfs2 is certified for oracle 11gr2 but oracle recommends using asm. please see this for more information http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10812/storage.htm#CWLIN262

Is it possible to install Oracle RAC (11gR2)on server having just one NIC ?

Hi all,
Please let me know if it is possible to install Oracle RAC (11gR2) on server having just one NIC card on linux (RHEL5.8).
by creating a virtual NIC like the real ethernet is etho and we are creating eht0:1 as virtual NIC, and i want to use this as eth1, so please suggest me if this is the workaround for my issue or not.... if not please suggest me the best way to install RAC on physical linux box running with one NIC card.
Thanks

Hi Suresh
Only the latest version of WLP which is WLP 10.3.2 has facility to integrate with Oracle UCM with Adapaters. So make sure that you do have this latest version of WLP 10.3.2. Older versions like WLP 10.3 do not have this provision.
Also I guess when you install and configure this Oracle UCM Adapater and choose above WLP Home, I guess these modules may be added in already installed WLP folders. I checked on my side for WLP 10.3.2 and I could NOT find the modules you mentioned. So most probably you may be missing some installation/configuration stuff from UCM side.
Thanks

No DNS for SCAN

Planned for Installation of Oracle 11g R2 RAC on Solaris 10.
My question is Which details to be entered for SCAN NAME and SCAN PORT during Grid Infrastructure installation ? because we don't have DNS configured.
Will the installation goes on if SCAN NAME and SCAN PORT not entered?
I have decided to go with /etc/hosts for virtual,public and private IPs, that will follow method of previous releases.
Thanks,

Hi,
I don't think you can have the SCAN IP blank. For test setup I've put one ip to be used as the scan ip in the /etc/hosts on all nodes in the rac and installation went ahead.
Even when ip is set on /etc/hosts it could be resolved using nslookup otherwise a warning is showing during installation.
Follwing metalink notes might give more details
PRVF-4664 PRVF-4657: Found inconsistent name resolution entries for SCAN name [ID 887471.1]
and other one's ID is 1212703.1 mentions the multicast requirements.
Haven't encountered this myself yet but found the below on
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVirtualBox.php#oracle_installation_prerequisites
"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."*

How configure Tuxedo 8.1 to Oracle RAC 9.1

I need to configure Tuxedo 8.1 to work with Oracle RAC 9i, I saw that there's documentation to configure for Tuxedo 9i with Oracle RAC 10g. But this is not my scenario. If someone know how to do this, could send me some documentation or example to apply this. I already read ads.pdf from BEA dev2dev site and this documentation don't talk about Oracle 9i

Weverton,
Later versions of Oracle contain significant RAC-related features not
present in earlier versions of RAC, so Tuxedo
(For example, Oracle 10gR2 contains support for DTP services, and Oracle
10.1.0.3 contains support for Fast Application Notification.)
Because one or more of these features is required for RAC migration and
recovery in Tuxedo, Tuxedo offers support only for Oracle 10.1.0.3 and above
for general RAC architectures. (However, there are some specialized RAC
application architectures, such as architectures where only a single service
is called in each transaction and architectures where transactions are not
used where Tuxedo can work with Oracle 9i.) Significant improvements in
RAC have occurred with each Oracle release, so if it is possible to upgrade
to Oracle 10gR2 then you should do so.

Oracle rac 11gr2 + sga

Hi all,
I have a 2 nodes rac 11GR2 on linux redhat with 12Go RAM each one.
Since 15 days, a dba add more memory on each node (+ 24Go RAM) and modify SGA like :
On each node :
create a pfile from spfile, modify memory_max_target on pfile (from 7Go to 8Go), and restart each instance from this pfile.
Now, the problem are :
Each node consume 36Go of 36Go RAM,
The parameter spfile is empty (show parameter spfile).
Do you an idea why all RAM is consumed on each node ?
Thanks.

Problem 1: Why is that a problem? How did you establish 36 Gb is used. The Unix tools are notoriously for providing incorrect information as the SGA is accounted for in every process.
Problem 2: Evidently the "DBA' used an incorrect procedure to change these parameters, and didn't convert the pfile to spfile again, and started using the 'startup pfile' command.
The action plan for this twofold
- educate the "DBA' or don't hire him anymore
- use the create spfile from pfile command, and restart the database.

Oracle Rac 11GR2 installation issues;

Hi fellows. I wonder if you could help me with an issue:
I have this Oracle RAC with 2 nodes, using OS Oracle Linux 6.3 with architecture x86_64.
The installation was doing ok, but on "Prerequisite Checks" i had a problem:
"Device Checks for ASM"
Device Checks for ASM - This is a pre-check to verify if the specified devices meet the requirements for configuration through the Oracle Universal Storage Manager Configuration Assistant. Error:

And
[root@cmsora02:/root]$ oracleasm listdisks

I don't know if this proves a thing, but the disks are readable for both nodes.
Anyone has passed for this situation before ?
Any hint would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

Configure DNS for website hosted externally

Hi,
I've configured DNS and it's all working fine except we can't access our own website which is hosted by another ISP with a different WAN IP.
If I add a www record we can access the the standard 10.4 placeholder page but if we remove that record it can't find anything.
I know I need to add a record to point to the Web Hosting ISP's WAN IP but am unsure how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
intel iMac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

>In 10.3 I knew how to create a www record linked
to a partular IP but I'm unsure how to do this in
10.4
The interface is a little different, but the process
is the same - use Server Admin -> DNS, select your
zone file and add a new record (via the + button).
Set the name to 'www' and give it the IP address of
your ISP-hosted site.
Thanks Camelot.
So it's a machine that needed to be added! I find the new termanology quite confusing. In all my reading about DNS I've never heard "machines" mentioned. It's straight forward now you've explained it.
Thanks alot for your help.

Configuring DNS for Open Directory

I'm reading Mac OS X Server Essentials, A Guide to Using and Supporting Mac OS X Server 10.4 and in the Open Directory section it says Make sure your server is resolving DNS correctly. If not, you may need to stop and start DNS.
I don't have DNS set up on our Xserve so I started reading the section about DNS.
We don't serve any web or mail services from this Xserve and I don't want to screw up the Custom DNS service provided by our web host/nic provider. If I enter my domain in the DNS admin area will that affect anything outside our LAN?

It says: "Make sure it is resolving DNS correclty. ...". It ain't saying: "DNS has to be running on the OD server itself. ...".
So if your network provides does handle dns for you that perfectly fine. Just check that they have forward and reverse records in place.

Oracle Rac 11GR2 + SQL

Hi,
I have a database 11gr2 in RAC and an IIS application.
This application insert data into database.
Sometimes i have a crazy case :
When the web page is display a package is launch : this package insert a row in a table with a sequence number and sysdate.
When the user validate this page this package is launch again.
Sometimes, i have those rows in the table :
1 07/06/2013 13:00:00
2 07/06/2013 12:59:56
How can i have a date anterior in the second insert ?
Do you have an idea ?
Thanks.

You connect for every statement and disconnect after every statement.
You use load balancing, or the database is configured for load balancing.
Both invocations of the package end up on different instances.
You don't use any mechanism to synchronize the system clocks of the server.
BINGO!

Oracle RAC 11gR2 on Windows - Disk Storage Newbie question

Hi all
I have been reading through the Grid install guide in an effort to understand how to set up a RAC solution. I am new to Oracle so a lot of these concepts I am trying to understand but from what I am reading a typical install would be to have my cluster software installed on a particular shared storage type of either OCFS or ASM. These storage types then sit on top of a redundant option such as RAID, or logical volumes across disks or a kind of mirroring (SAME).
I know what I have said is probably a rough attempt at understanding this but what I would like is if anyone has any diagrams that lay this out for me to aid my understanding that would be great.
I am kind of at a stage where I am thinking about creating a RAC installation on some VMWare and want to know how best to configure the initial disks, and whether to add them to a RAID or carve them into partitions.
Hope I have made sense.
Thanks

Hi;
Please change thread status to answered here, it pretend to lose time of other forums user while they are searching open question which is not answered,thanks for understanding
