Database creation error: 9i RAC with Suse and LVM

We have managed to install 9i on a 2 server Linux cluster. All indications are that both nodes and the shared storage are up and running correctly. When we use dbca to create a clustered database, both nodes show up as install options.
However, when we attempt to create the new database, the install fails each time at 55% with a message regarding the file location <db name>rawtemp. The error is "The file cannot be reused; the file size does not match"
We have deleted the database after it has failed, and also deleted and recreated the /dev/raw location as well as the actual logical volume, all without success. Does anyone have a suggestion.
Thank you in advance!

Update: The actual error is ORA 1257 "Cannot reuse raw_temp, unknown file size"

12.1.3 EBS single node 11.2.0.3 database to 2 node RAC with ASM

Hi,
We are planning to convert single node local/ordinary file system 11.2.0.3 database to 2 node RAC with ASM.
Please help me in creating the roadmap for the same.
e.g
1. Create the shared raw file system
2. Create diskgroup for ASM
3.. Convert the local file system to ASM first
etc, etc
This is the first big task hence need expert guidance.

Database Creation Error in 9.2.0.1.0

Installed 9i on a Win2K Pro machine. Software installation was successful (as far as I can tell). Able to connect to external Oracle DB's without problem.
However, when creating a local Oracle DB on my machine, I get TNS:packet writer failure errors during the initilization. This seems to happen during every install of a DB I try. The exception is if I log into the machine under the machine's administrator account, vice my domain account. Even though both accounts have the same access to the machine, the database creation will only complete under the machines' administrator account. Then if I do get the DB installed under the administrator. I can't connect to it when logged into the domain becuase I get end-of-file errors. Other user can successfully connect to the DB from separate boxes, but I can't connect locally. Nothing I have found so far can explain why this is happening. What else should I look at as possibly causing this problem. Or are their issues with installing the Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 DB on a domain.

RAC with ASM and without ASM

Hi all,
we planing to install RAC 11g instance active/active . and we are using SAN storage RAID 10.
I know ASM is nice feature . but it need more maintenance in future . This is what I see
it from Manual and training . for patching ..... because it maintain as instance.
why I do need ASM since I have SAN and I can control mirroring ...etc
I need sold answer here ?? why I need to use this feature that already can be covered using another facility like SAN.
Best Regards,

What I have found in a RAC world is there is maintenance no matter which way you go, A cluster file system will require upgrades, patches, etc. RAW volumes will require extra effort in allocation, etc. as well as increase the number of files in the database. ASM requires additional instance on each node to maintain which is quite simple and rolling patches in ASM is becoming reality slowly. I have found that removing the management of RAW volumes is more trouble then the maintenance of the ASM instances and the added benefits of ASM outweigh the maintenance for sure. I found that the cluster file system mainteance is pretty well a wash.
As for ASM being widely used, the most recent RAC clusters (last 3) I have built have all been ASM....... 1 on HPUX and 2 on Linux (Red Hat and Oracle Enterprise Linux) and future clusters coming up that I know of are all going to be ASM as well. While it may be true that a lot of existing RAC environments have not yet gone to ASM almost all new RAC environments are. It is certainly taking hold. If you look at the effort on a large database to move to ASM from RAW volumes or cluster file system it can appear to be a lot of work and that is true, but in the long run my experience with ASM has been positive therefore I would not hesitate to recommend new RAC clusters be built with ASM and existing clusters should have a migration plan in place. As with some cluster file systems like veritas, GPFS, etc. There is addtional cost involved where ASM does not have the additional cost so moving existing clusters can save $$........ RAM volumne management may not fall on the DBA but someone has to manage all those volumnes at a SAN level and that is additional management just may not really be with the DBA.
Just my additional 2 cents worth.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
Are verbose error messages turned on? If so what verbose
messages are you receiving? If not please turn them on
see what verbose messages are produced. Those messages
should point you in the direction of the problem. In
order to turn on verbose error message configue the Berkeley
DB error stream as:
DbEnv::set_errfile http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_cxx/env_set_errfile.html
Or if you don't have a database environment handle, use:

I am looking for steps for creating database in existing RAC environment. Its 2 node rac with 2 databases are already existing.
I cannt use DBCA due to connectivity issues. So through silent mode i want to create a new database with two instances spread across two nodes. Please remember its ASM based databases.
Environment :- Solaris 10, Oracle 10.2.0.4
Thanks in advance,

Error in Service with Party and Service without party scenario

Hi All,
I am configuring an external system to customer SAP system scenario.
I have configured the external file system as Service with Party and the receiving SAP system as Service without party.
All the configuration including the "Virtual receiver" set up has been done properly but i am still getting the error "No receiver could be determined".
Can somebody help me on this ?
Thanks in advance.
RGds,
Vasanth.

Vasanthakumar,
in my previous experiences with internal/external parties communication, I've found out that the best practice is to create an integration scenario and then create the configuration scenario from scenario wizard. It is much simpler and easier.
Briefly, you'll have to create a dummy party/service in order to "wrap" your internal system, since the external party should not receive information regarding internal systems (Business system name, for example).

Henrique.

Error I-001 with Applications and Driver Installations (SOLUTION INCLUD

[url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=27704&jum p=true#M27704">Verified Solution further in Thread[/url]
Hi,
Right to get straight to the point, I have just downloaded the new Console Launcher beta and the new Release of WaveStudio 7. After attempting to try and install them both, and getting the same error message of I-00, and finding that Creative have decided to pass the blame for this error onto InstallShield and it's developers. I have found that it is not actually their fault.
According to the Install log file for both of these applications, they are looking for DirectX either installed on the machine, or the redistrobutable in the installation package to perform any required updates. However, when searching, it apparently cannot find DirectX for some unknown reason.
Creative, this is really a pretty lame error on your behalf, and could be solved with a few minor modifications to your InstallScript from with-in the InstallShield IDE. Then simply re-compile and distrobute an updated installtion package.
Is it far too much to ask for your developers to actually research and test problems. I mean I am a programmer, and know that there is a pre-requisite setting in the InstallShield IDE allowing you to detect and update DirectX as needed, so why your dev's are trying to do it another way is beyond me.
Please fix these stupid mistakes.
Andrew.

Hi,
Well, Richard-CL has assured me that the details I provided above have been passed on to the developers. But whether the problem is resolved or not is yet to be seen.
I am working on fixing the InstallShield problem myself for my own personal use, however, I am not sure how Creative would react to allowing other people to use or download the applications.
Considering that I will only be fixing the installer, and not actually hacking any features etc.

Problem with Oracle RAC with DRCP and persistent connections

Hello,
I am having a problem that has me stumped. I cannot get SCAN, and DRCP to work together nicely.
Right now, I can connect through my scan hostname fine without connection pooling, once I enable it I start having connection time outs. I found if I specified outbound_connection_timeout in sqlnet.ora that it times the connection out to the time I set in there. If I don't set this option I get a "ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred".
The odd thing is I can leave connection pooling on and connect to one of my rac instances individually and it doesn't experience this problem. The only time it pops up is if I combine multiple rac instances (Through the use of SCAN or tnsnames.ora) and I enable connection pooling.
I don't know which direction to go to even diagnose this, so any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Oracle11g RAC with partitioning and cross instance parallel query problem

I have set up a 300gb TPC-H database using a 4 node RAC environment (8 cpu per node, 16 GB memory, 2 GHz processors) the system is served by 2.5 terabytes of SSD for its IO subsystem managed by a combination of ASM and OCFS2.
When I run a large parallel query (number 9 in the TPCH query set) I get:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments [kxfrGraDistNum3],[65535],[4]
with all other arguments blank. There were some reports of this in version 9, but it was supposedly fixed. Has any one seen this behavior or have a work around?
Mike

Good Idea! Why didn't I think of that? Oh yea...I did. Unfortunately TMS CSI is an update only partner type CSI so I cannot submit a SR. The 600 lookup was how I found the old stuff, but it didn't have any 11g references. I hoped maybe someone in the community had encountered this and had a workaround. By the way, the querey looks like so:
select
nation,
o_year,
sum(amount) as sum_profit
from
select
n_name as nation,
extract(year from o_orderdate) as o_year,
l_extendedprice * (1 - l_discount) - ps_supplycost * l_quantity as amount
from
h_part,
h_supplier,
h_lineitem,
h_partsupp,
h_order,
h_nation
where
s_suppkey = l_suppkey
and ps_suppkey = l_suppkey
and ps_partkey = l_partkey
and p_partkey = l_partkey
and o_orderkey = l_orderkey
and s_nationkey = n_nationkey
and p_name like '%spring%'
) as profit
group by
nation,
o_year
order by
nation,
o_year desc;
the other 21 queries, all using the same tables and degrees of paralell and cross instance settings, executed ok.

New database creation in 10g RAC

Hi,
I'm trying to create a new database using DBCA in 2 node RAC cluster. When I select custom database and the password for sys and system users. In the next screen I select ASM and it is asking for password. When i give the password which i entered before for sys and system, it is not taking. Even i tried different password but getting an error password for user SYS is not valid. Any idea what the issue is?
Thanks

You must have created an ASM instance prior to creating the database. DBCA won't create an ASM instance alongside with a database.
As the ASM instance apparently doesn't exist, you can't connect to it,
Create an ASM instance first.

RAC with ASM and shared disks?

Hi all,
Can someone clarify this little point please. If I use ASM as my storage with a RAC database, I have to configure these nodes to shared disks. At least this is what the UG says ...
When you create a disk group for a cluster or add new disks to an existing clustered disk group, you only need to prepare the underlying physical storage on shared disks. The shared disk requirement is the only substantial difference between using ASM in a RAC database compared to using it in a single-instance Oracle database. ASM automatically re-balances the storage load after you add or delete a disk or disk group.
With my 9i databases, I used HCAMP to allow for concurrent VG access among the nodes. My questions are ...
1) How can I share this storage as stated above without using HACMP? My understanding is with 10g I no longer have to use it.
2) Can Oracle's clusterware be used to share storage? I have not seen any indication that it does.
3) Does this mean I still have to use HCAMP with 10g crs to allow shared storage?
Thank you

"...meaning visible to all the participating nodes, which you don't need HACMP..."
This is one step forward, but still not clear. On unix, storage is presented to ASM as raw volumes. As such, how can these volumes be visible on all nodes without using HCAMP (or whatever 3rd party clusterware you are using). Presenting raw volumes on several nodes is something that is not done at OS level without using some clusterware functionality.
I do understand that storage or LUNs can be shared at the SAN fabric level. But then, these LUNs are carved in bug chunks and I would like to be able to allocate storage at much granular level using raw partitions.
So all in all, here are my questions ...
1) On unix platforms, can ASM disks be LUNs, raw volumes, or may be both?
2) If raw volumes, how are these shared (or made visible) without using 3rd party clusterware? Having managed 9i RAC, it was the function of HACMP to make these volumes visible on all nodes, otherwise, we had to imp/exp VGs on all nodes to make them visible.
Thank you
