How to add a second database along with existing two node RAC environment

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with this.
My Environment:
1. Two node RAC Cluster database (11.2.0.2) with ASM running perfectly (Oracle Sid = test-1)
2. I have installed a second single instance db on node 2 (Oracle Sid = test-2) with NTFS file system for datafiles
3. Database is up and running, but I am not able to connect it from any client.
4. I am getting ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
5. Database (test2) is registered with grid LISTENER
5. TNSPING from client machine response is ok
Am I missing something here, happy to provide more info if requested.
Thanks,
PS

Mutliple serveres in a two node RAC

hello friends m i newbie in RAC and i have 7 servers in my company 4 are for oracle database used for different purposes having same instance name on each of them and 3 are for application servers used for different purposes having same instance name and i want to use two node RAC for all of them now my question is
1) can i use all the 7 servers (4 database and 3 application) together in a two node RAC?
2) in RAC can i have different instances having same name?
thanx in advance

That is how Oracle scales.
Oracle does not scale the converse way - running multiple databases on a single server.
1) can i use all the 7 servers (4 database and 3 application) together in a two node RAC?That depends entirely on whether the 2 severs have the capacity to deal with the processing load currently handled by the database servers.
Also note that in Oracle the terms "+database+" and "+schema+" differ from what are used by some other RDBMS products.
An Oracle database is a physical entity. An Oracle schema is a (amongst other things) a logical database. So a single physical Oracle database can contain 1000's of logical databases - and these logical databases can be physically separated from one another (via tablespaces), can have different rights, can have different resource profiles, etc.
Each RAC node is part of a shared everything cluster - meaning that the entire physical database is available on each and every RAC node.
On RAC, you can do what is called application partitioning. You can for example configure HR clients to make use of the HR logical database (schema) on RAC node 1. RAC node 3 is for example used for the Data Mart application and node 2 handles the customer billing clients.
In other words, you partition your applications across RAC nodes.
2) in RAC can i have different instances having same name? The instance name is a physical name and should very seldom be explicitly used. Your physical RAC database's SID may be PROD. Your 4 RAC instances, one on each server, will have SIDs PROD1 to PROD4.
But you should instead create database services and have clients connect (via the RAC's SCAN/Single Client Access Name) to a specific service.
Bottom line to keep in mind - RAC is Oracle's answer to scalability. And RAC is multiple servers and a single database. Doing the converse and running multiple database on a single server (RAC or no RAC), very seldom makes any technical sense. It almost always will reduce both performance and scalability.

How do i licence a two node RAC with ASM infrastructure

AM trying to estimate the licensing of two node RAC with ASM as storage manager and GRID control as management tool

Hi,
Oracle license depends on lot of things, Edition of Oracle your running standard or enterprise, the optional packges you need and etc.
Read through http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#BABDJGGI
also if you license named users or processor. You can get the price for the from online oracle store

Data guard setup for 2 node RAC primary to 2 node RAC standby

Hi All,
I am going to setup data guard for 2 node RAC primary to 2 node RAC standby on Oracle 10.2.0.4. in AIX5L.
Can you please provide the document on the above setup which is having all the steps (details).
Also, the documents on different scenarios like
1) If one node of standby goes down, how the redo logs will be applied. IS there any problem?
2) If both nodes of standby are failed, how to reciver them?
3) If one node of primary fails, is there any issue?
4) If two nodes of primary fails, is there any issue?
Thanks in advance,
Mahi

How many Scan Listeners, we have to configure for 5 Node RAC?

Dear Professionals,
How many scan Listeners we need to configure for 5 Node RAC? Oracle will not allow us to create More than 3 scan's? What If i have one scan Listener per each for 1st 3 node's? what about remaining two Node's? How application user will connect to 4 or 5 Node? Can you please explain..? Forgive me, If am totally wrong?
Thanks
Sagar

Each of the 5 instances will register itself with the scan listener (using the instance parameter remote_listener). Thus, the scan listener is "aware" of the database instances on the other two nodes where it is not running. It can still redirect incoming connections to the local listeners on these nodes (registered as local_listener).

CONVERTING TWO NODE RAC ON WINDOWS TO SINGLE INSTANCE

I got question about a two node RAC on Windows.
One of our vendors is hosting our oracle enviroment and we are planning to bring in the datacenter in house and manage it ourselves.
Current they have a two node RACon windows
The new enviroment we are building here , we want to get rid of RAC and bring it back to a single instance environment.
How do i approach this?
1. My first option was to create a new database server and do the export dp from one of the node and import to the new single instance enviroment.
My conncern is can you do export from RAC database and import it to a non RAC enviroment?
2. My second option is to delete one node on the two node RAC and then do export dump or cold backup and copy the database files and necessary config files.
let me know how i can approach this.....

Okay guys after digging aroung i found the following approach.....
Cloning Oracle 10gR2 from RAC Environment to Single Instance Environment will raise the following error
ORA-29702: Error occurred in Cluster Group Service Operation.
The new instance is looking for CRS on new single instance non RAC environment.
For UNIX platform follow the following steps:
- Shutdown the instance which is cloned to non RAC.
- Shutdown all the listeners.
- Relink Oracle executable with rac_off option.
$ make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_off
$ make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle
- Remove all the parameters from init.ora which points to second instance
and it is on other node.
- Remove cluster_database parameter
- Remove undo_tablespace parameter which points to second instance
For Windows Platform follow the following steps:
- Shutdown the instance which is cloned to non RAC.
- Shutdown all the listeners.
- Rename following file in %ORACLE_HOME%/bin directory: orarac10.dll to orarac10.dll.bak
Give me your thoughts, there is nothing on Metalink....

11gR2- webutil upload file to AS on two nodes RAC?

Hellow experts plz help with the following issue,
we are using 11gR2 forms on two node rac,webutil configured on both nodes. upload/download files to AS folder(UP_FILES) using our forms. node 2 is actually replica of node 1(forms,reports,UP_FILES). we are now facing a problem that the form which upload file to AS, only upload that to the node from where it is running say if it is running from node1 then it upload files to folder UP_FILES on that node( as the entry in webutil.cfg file) but we want that UP_FILES folder should be synced with each other on both nodes and a form running whether from node1 or node2 upload the file to both nodes at time.
How this will be accomplished?
--------webutil.cfg entry
transfer.appsrv.read.3=D:\UP_FILES
transfer.appsrv.write.3=D:\UP_FILES
-----FORM UPLOAD CODE
      IF :CONTROL.FILE_LOC IS NOT NULL THEN
        acyr3 := :CONTROL.TXTVOUCHERNO||'-'||acyr2 ;
       FILE_RESULT := WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.CLIENT_TO_AS_WITH_PROGRESS(CLIENTFILE=>:CONTROL.FILE_LOC,
       SERVERFILE =>'D:\UP_FILES\'||acyr3||'.PDF',
      PROGRESSTITLE=>'UPLOAD TO DATABASE IN PROGRESS',
      PROGRESSSUBTITLE=>'PLEASE WAIT' );
      END IF;
--FORM DOWNLOAD CODE
        FILE_RESULT := WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_TO_CLIENT_WITH_PROGRESS
             CLIENTFILE=>'D:\UP_FILES\'||acyr3||'.PDF',
        SERVERFILE =>'D:\UP_FILES\'||acyr3||'.PDF',
      PROGRESSTITLE=>'DOWNLOAD FROM DATABASE IN PROGRESS',
      PROGRESSSUBTITLE=>'PLEASE WAIT'
             CLIENT_HOST('rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler D:\UP_FILES\'||acyr3||'.PDF');
             IF FILE_RESULT THEN
message('File downloaded successfully from the Application Server');
END IF;

Well, you're uploading the file to one node, so this is no surprise. What you can do is to store your file on a shared folder (which might be a bit tricky on windows) or synchronize a folder between your nodes. Unfortunately Forms can't access ASM directly (assuming you are using ASM), so you can't store your files directly in ASM where it would be accessible from both nodes.

Can fiber channel be used for connect server to a storage in two nodes RAC

I decided to have an Oracle RAC cluster with only two nodes.
The storage I have is a sun 3510FC. Also have five fiber chanal ports. But my each server (Sunfire v240) has got one Ultra160SCSI multimode (SE/LVD) not any fiber chanal ports. I found that there is some FC card available to use but none fiber switch available. I want to install this FC cards to the servers and make a straight connection with fibre cable to the storage. Can this be asolution or do i have to have a fibre switch?

Hi
Irrespective of whether such a configuration is supported or not by Oracle.
Has anybody got 10gR2 RAC working on
a. 2 servers
b. shared storage with HBA and fibre channel cables
c. interconnect on LAN
(yes we know it is not supported by Oracle...but again we are not going production on that....just for demo/training purposes)
No FC switch
No ethernet switch
If anybody has got this working would be great to hear of 'issues to guard against'
Thanks

Configure OEM in Oracle 10.2.0.4 Two nodes RAC

Hi all,
I'm having some troubles making rigth configuration for OEM in my RAC.
Everything during installation or configuracion seems ok but later it's all wrong.
The point is:
Global database is ON and every of two nodes is also ON. I can accees it from inside and outside the server nodes.
CRS shows everything OK with all services and resources ONLINE.
emctl status dbconsole -clusterhttps://node2:5500/em/console/aboutApplication
EM Daemon is running.
emca -displayConfig dbcontrol -clusterINFO:
**************** Current Configurationl ****************
INSTANCE NODE DBCONTROL_UPLOAD_HOST
inode2 node2 node2
inode1 node1 node2
So everything should be OK
When I try to access OEM, it says that status can't be acess and offers me the choice of START or BEGIN RECOVER
When I go through START the two nodes are up but can't access the instances.
So I know that something has wrong configuracion but I don't know WHAT!!!
Any Idea???
Thanks in advance

Start looking at the logs under $OH/<node_name>/sysman/log - most likely it will offer some clues.

Single instance standby for 2-node RAC

Hi,
Oracle Version:11.2.0.1
Operating system:Linux
Here i am planing to create single instance standby for my 2-node RAC database.Here i am creating my single instance standby database on 1-node of my 2-node RAC DB.

2.) Below is the error when i am duplicating my primary 2-Node RAC to single instance DB. And it is shutting down my auxiliary instance.

How to apply Bundle Patch in Rolling Mode for 2 Node RAC

Hi Guys,
I have a 2 node RAC environment (11.2.0.3) where each node has there own local Grid_home and RDBMS_home.
I am installing a Rolling Bundle Patch with OPatch in this environment. The installation document says that "The order of patching in RAC install is GRID_HOME, then RDBMS_HOME" so i did the following.
1. stopped all oracle related services on node1
2. set oracle_home=<Grid_home>
3. applied the opatch
4. opatch succeeded on node1 and it says "The node 'NODE2' will be patched next... Is the node ready for patching? y
Here i am bit confused.
1. Should i shutdown the oracle services in Node2 and continue to patch the Grid_home ? If yes then the DB will be completely down for user access. This defeats the purpose of rolling mode which says there is no downtime.
2. Should i patch the RDBMS_home on node1 , start all the oracle services on node1 , stop the oracle services on node2 and then resume the opatch on node1 which is waiting to patch the Grid_home on node2 ?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar.G

Hi Sebastian,
14613223 patch install instruction did not mention about opatch -local option.
Here is what i followed and completed the installation successfully.
1. Shutdown all oracle services on node 1
2. applied opatch for grid home and then rdbms home using "opatch apply -local" on node1
3. Started all oracle services on node 1
4. Shutdown all oracle services on node 2
5. applied opatch for gridhome and then rdbms home using "opatch apply -local" on node 2
6. Started all oracle services on node 2
7. executed post installation steps on the DB (@catwinbundle.sql & @utlrp.sql )

For 4 node RAC database on Exadata x3-2, how many scan IP I should assign?

We want to build a 4 node RAC 11gr23 on exadata x3-2. Oracle only recommend 3 ip for scan listener. by previous observation of non-exadata RAC, seems each node will spread randomly one Scan Ip address. So if we assign 3 ip to one scan listener, how that will work on a 4-node RAC?
Thanks

You're welcome
by Load balancing
Oracle RAC databases increase load balancing by using the single client access name (SCAN) for the cluster to balance connections among all instances in a cluster database. SCAN also adds location independence for the databases, so that client configuration does not have to depend on which nodes are running a particular database or database instance.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e48195/undrstnd.htm#RIWIN607
Based on the environment, the following actions occur when you use SCAN to connect to an Oracle RAC database using a service name. The numbered actions correspond to the arrows shown in Figure 7-1.

How many SCAN listners for 2 node rac ?

Hi,
Oracle recommends min 3 SCAN listeners , but what if I've got 2 node RAC ? :)

Hi Friend
About SCAN :
1. The single client access name (SCAN) is the address used by all clients connecting to the cluster.
2. The SCAN name is a domain name registered to three IP addresses, either in the domain name service (DNS) or the Grid Naming Service (GNS).
3. The SCAN name eliminates the need to change clients when nodes are added to or removed from the cluster.
4. Clients using SCAN names can also access the cluster using EZCONNECT.
5. The Single Client Access Name (SCAN) is a domain name that resolves to all the addresses allocated for the SCAN name.
6. Three IP addresses should be provided (in DNS) to use for SCAN name mapping as this ensures high availability.
7. During Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, listeners are created for each of the SCAN addresses, and Oracle Grid Infrastructure controls which server responds to a
SCAN address request.
8. The SCAN addresses need to be on the same subnet as the VIP addresses for nodes in the cluster.
Note 1 : SCAN IPs must NOT be in the /etc/hosts file, the SCAN name must be resolved by DNS.
Note 2 : When you are installing Grid Infrastructure it will ask for the following things :
*1. Cluster Name :*
*2. Scan Name :*
*3. Scan Port :*
