D1000 and 10gr2 RAC and ASM

Solaris 9
10gr2
Hi All,
Is there anyway two nodes can share D1000 storage. Both nodes should see all the disks. Not half the disks each node.
If it can be done, please give me the proceduere.
I want to try oracle 10g RAC on this using ASM.
Thanks in advance.

I am wondering If we can share D1000 between the two nodes and able see all the disks from both nodes. we can see half the disks from each node in split bus mode I guess.

  • Guidelines for SGA and PGA tuning for 10gR2 RAC and ASM ?

    I am looking for tuning information on SGA and PGA tuning for Oracle 10g (10.2) RAC and ASM for a 4TB OLTP and DSS mixed environment on Solaris 10 platform.

    We are running Solaris 10 SPARC 64 bit with Oracle 10gR2 RAC Enterprise Edition and ASM on Sun servers with 32GB of RAM for memory for a 4TB OLTP database.
    It is in design phase so I do not have an existing AWR or Statspack report yet. Is there a best practices guideline on how to size parameters for the SGA (ie: shared_pool_size, etc) and PGA for this environment from Oracle?

  • 10gR2 RAC and XA transactions

    We have a 3 node 10gR2 cluster. The middle tier is using XA drivers. They are connecting to the database via a load balanced service where all nodes are preferred. DTP for the service is also set to No.
    Does anyone know if this setup could be problematic?
    We recently had some very odd behavior occur where we could we could not connect to one of the nodes and had to forcefully reboot the entire server to get it back. We found out after the fact that the middle tier was configured for XA.
    Any insight/experience is appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Red underline inline spellcheck in Forms 6i c/s and 10gr2 web and 11gr1 web

    I've looked through all the spell check threads and I think I'm asking an original question.
    I'm looking for a spellcheck solution that mimics MS Word's red underline spellchecking as you type.
    My company has a electronic healthcare record software package that commonly contains lots of narrative typed by users. Spell check is a very important feature. We have many customers, so I cannot control what other software exists on each client machine.
    Except:
    1) I don't want to use MS Word as an editor and I don't want to use OLE integration
    2) I don't want to use Jspell, as this must work in both c/s and web (JSpell doesn't red underline as you type as I understand either)
    3) I don't want a spellchecker that must be installed on the client machine (Accuspell, Spellcheck Anywhere, etc), although these typically do the job, some have problems with different MS Windows versions (ie Accuspell works on 2kPro and XP, but not on Vista & 7).
    4) I want the dictionary to be stored in the database, so it is centralized
    5) I need to stick with Oracle Forms
    The best solution that I have found that fits all the bills above is "woodys web site" spellchecker where the spellchecker is actually built into forms (using an olb) and uses a dictionary that is stored in the database, although it only spellchecks one field when you press a button, and does not provide inline spellcheck (the red underline as you type).
    Does anyone have any ideas?? There has been spell check discussion within this forum from back in 2000, with no one finding the "right" solution. Just wondering whether anything new has come up??
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is not possible to do achieve what you want, in C/S and Web more using same methodology. For 6i, you may need to use OLE, and for web, you can use a PJC (you can build it on top of JSpell? ). Of course, I am aware that both options are falling on your exception list ;) , but, i feel this is what you left out.

  • Oracle 10gR2 RAC - ASM question

    Hi
    I have a question regarding the ASM storage. Let says I have a system here running Oracle 10gR2 RAC and would like to add a new/extend the current DATA disk group with more disk space. How do I do that? will it affect the existing data stored inside there?

    So to add a little more to the discussion. Let's say your storage administrator presents you a LUN and is nice enough to add a partition of say 7G. (/dev/sdo1).
    Now you need to take /dev/sdo1 stamp it and alter your storage group.
    For illustration purposes I shall use rac1 and rac2 as my dual instance RAC and add to the asm group ARCH.
    As root on rac1
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ARCH2 /dev/sdo1
    then run
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    to make sure ARCH2 shows up.
    On rac2 you run
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    You don't see ARCH2 so then run
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
    then
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
    Now you should see ARCH2
    Ok the asm stamps are in sync now.
    Back to rac1
    su - oracle
    set ORACLE_SID to asm instance and use sqlplus
    sqlplus / as sysasm
    If you query V$ASM_DISK you will see your disk with a header_status of PROVISIONED
    that's good ...
    NOw while still in sqlplus
    Let's bump up the asm_power_limit so rebalancing runs faster
    alter system set asm_power_limit=5 scope=both ;
    If your asm instance are sharing the same spfile you only need do this on one instance; otherwise run the command both on all asm instances.
    Lastly
    ALTER DISKGROUP ARCH ADD DISK 'ORCL:ARCH2' ;
    Now you can query V$ASM_OPERATION and watch ASM do it's magic of rebalancing.
    That's it. All done while the DB is up and running.
    How does that work for you?

  • Oracle 10g RAC and Unix *rlogin* question

    I support several 10g RAC databases, running on IBM pSeries servers using AIX 5.3. Our database and clusterware are 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.4.
    I understand that user equivalence and rsh/ssh must be enabled in order for the RAC environment and clusterware to communicate across all of the cluster nodes.
    My problem is a question being raised by our internal system auditors. The are requesting that the rlogin and exec commands for AIX be disabled, because they feel it is a security risk. Both commands prompt for a valid userid and password when they are used to remotely login or execute a command.
    I have reviewed the RAC documentation online, and searched Metalink (I am not a Metalink expert, though!) as well as Google and can't find anything stating that rlogin and exec are specifically required in order for RAC to function properly.
    Can anyone offer advice or their perspective on whether or not these two commands need to be enabled in order for RAC to function?
    Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give to me.
    Regards,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    as far as my knowledge goes RAC does neither use rlogin nor exec commands.
    After you setup the cluster Oracle communicates simply via. TCP (clusterware) and UDP (RAC) and is only sending and recieving messages. There is no need during runtime for a remote login.
    So als ssh and rsh are solemnly used for installation and patching (not for communication).
    Still Oracle recommends to leave them enabled, since it makes life easier than to enable ssh each time a patch is needed.

  • Oracle 10gR2  RAC / Dataguard on Linux Redhat 4.2  X86_64 and ASM / OCFS2

    Hi All,
    Well don't know if this is bleeding edge or not, but wanted to know if anybody has a system running the following setup and if there are any issues like some components are not certified on 64 bit (e.g is OCFS2)
    We are in process of building a system with
    Oracle RAC on 10gR2 on a 64 bit Linux OS 4.2 (2.6.9-22.ELsmp)
    The system has a EMC CX500 and we are going to use ASM for the datafiles and OCFS2 for the Voting Disk and OCR.
    We are also going to have a single (no RAC) Physical Dataguard instance at another site also using ASM.
    We have seen that the OEM Grid Controller and agents are not supplied on x86_64
    so we can't use it in a 64bit environment. (are we correct)
    Anybody with suggested alternatives with the kit we have or a strong suggestion that 32 bit for RAC and Dataguard are best
    Thanks in advance
    John

    I have a similar configuration, 3 nodes of SunFire X4100 (dual opteron), on RedHat 4 ES Update 2 using Dell/EMC CX300.
    I am using OCFS2 for data and voting disks.
    We had a couple of freeze-up (total node lockup) and I could not figure out what was wrong (this happens randomly).
    Anybody have any idea where should I look for possible reasons?

  • Can we have separate 10gR2 RAC CRS and 11gR2 RAC CRS homes on  same Unix s

    We'd like to test the upgrade of our 10gR2 RAC databases to 11gR2 RAC.
    We have six databases on the same server and want to install a separate 11g RAC stack (11g CRS, 11g ASM, 11g RDBMS) and upgrade each 10g database from 10g RAC stack on same server (10g CRS, 10g ASM, 10g RDBMS) . Is it ok to have 10g CRS home and 11g CRS home same server? If not, how best to upgrade without buying more hardware?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lou

    In more detail, the main issue/question is whether there can be 2 Oracle CRS homes on the same server i.e. separate 10gR2 and 11gR2 CRS homes residing on the same server for the purposes of (gradually) upgrading all Oracle RDBMS homes from 10g RAC to 11g RAC.
    Can there be? What would be the implications for the OCR and voting disk? In our case 10g CRS has OCR and Voting Disk on raw devices. In 11gR2, these would need to be migrated/upgraded/stored in ASM, right?
    We have 6 10g rdbms homes in addition to the one 10g CRS home and one 10g ASM home. To upgrade can we
    - Install 11gR2 CRS in a separate home (this would now include ASM as well)
    - Install 11gR2 RDBMS home
    - Upgrade one of the 6 10g databases while leaving the others untouched as 10g databases in the separate 10g CRS, 10g ASM stack?
    Any ideas, pointers greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Lou

  • Cluster with one 2 Node RAC and a Single Instance using ASM

    Hi there,
    i am not sure with one planned installation and want to ask, weather i am on the right track.
    Some Facts:
    Clusterware 11g
    ASM 11g
    Database 10gR2
    AIX 5.3
    3 Machines
    2 Storages DS4700
    My Plan
    On Node 1 and Node 2 we install a RAC Database for an ERP Software
    On Node 3 we install a single Instance Database for a Logistic Software
    So i will install on all three Nodes Clusterware and an 3 Instances ASM - Cluster
    I create 2 Diskgroups, one for the FRA and one for the Data, both on Luns on the DS4700
    The RAC-Database and the Logistic-Database are using the same Diskgroups.
    Is this the way to go for this circumstances?
    The alternative is, as far as i see
    Clusterware on an 3 Servers
    One 2 Node ASM for the ERP Software
    one Single Node ASM for the Logistcs
    4 Diskgroups, because of the 2 ASM-Database 2 for the RAC and 2 for the Single Instance.
    Please give me some hints, which way i should prefer.
    My tendence is going to the first alternative. I like the idea to share the Diskgroups over more than on Database because of easy administration.
    The load of the 2 Databases are completly different, the logistc software will nearly do nothing compared to the ERP Software, so this should'nt be a problem.
    But maybe i oversee something, so please do not hesitate to tell me, i am completly wrong ;)
    Thanks a lot

    why clusterware on 3rd machine ?
    I'd have separate DGs but that's just me.If you wish to install ASM you need OCS installed on the machine, even if it is just one node at all.
    It is a kind of a dependency, no OCS, no ASM

  • How to create redlog and control file at ASM in linux RAC

    Hi Experts,
    I will to maintance a oracle 10g database at ASM as RAC iin linux red hat.
    i am a new person with some question.
    nornally speaking, oracle recommadition for oracle 10g database as
    create 3 copy fills for control file
    create at least 2 redo log with mirror files in system.
    However, I checked find
    redlog file is at FRA place +FLSdisk1 and no mirror
    control file is at FRA place--+FLSDISK1/
    datebase file at ‘+DATA1/
    There are no mirror for relog.
    Go to EM, I also could not find place to enter file name.
    We use ASM to hold database to support RAC.
    Do i need to create redlog file as
    ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('+FLSdisk1/sale/onlinelog/REDO01.LOG','+FLSdisk1/sale/onlinelog/REDO01_mirror.LOG') SIZE 1000M reuse;
    my boss told me that ASM is reliable.
    Do you need to creat more directory to arrange redlog and control files in ASM for RAC system?
    FRA is a good place to store control file and redlog file ?
    Thanks
    JIM
    Edited by: user589812 on Jul 3, 2009 3:03 PM

    ASM is reliable but a smart DBA is very careful. If ASM is doing mirroring this is like RAID doing mirroring. What happens if you accidentally delete one copy ... the other one disappears instantly. Not a good idea.
    With respect to redo logs you need a minimum of three groups, two members, and one thread per instance. So a 2 node cluster should, at a minimum have 12 physical files.
    Not mirroring the redo logs, assuming multiple members, is not as critical.

  • Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

    Hi all,
    I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
    for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
    My question is this:
    How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
    I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
    I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
    Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
    So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
    Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

  • 2 node RAC: one 10gR2  node and one 11.2.0.3 node on Solaris 10.

    Is it possible to have a mixed Oracle version 2 node RAC with 10gR2 database on one machine and 11.2.0.3 database installed on the other machine. Has anyone done this?

    Hi,
    if you are talking about setting up a RAC, and having a database 10g running on one node, and a different database 11g running on the other node this is possible.
    You will have to use the newest clusterware/GI (11.2.0.3) and multiple Oracle Homes (One for 10g and one for the 11.2.0.3).
    If however you want one database with 2 instances running different versions: Then No.
