DBAcockpit and virtual hostnames

Hi,  I have setup DBAcockpit to Solution Manager for monitoring Oracle databases in SAP landscape.  Now the problem is
that I would like to run maintenance jobs and backups via DB13/DB13C.  We have two MSCS-clustered environments with
several SAP installations in one cluster.
Oracle databases has virtual hostnames (dbhost) in cluster but when registered to DBAcockpit it will get the cluster node physical
hostname.  I have tried to change the name to virtual on the DBAcockpit table but it will revert back.
So the SAPXPG_DBDEST_<hostname> will have name of the physical hostname and I can run brtools only to one database
because I need specify right gateway information. If I would like to use DB13 to another database running on same cluster
node I have to manually change the gateway information to pointing that database.
This would be easy to configure if DBAcockpit would understand virtual hostnames and SAPXPG_DBDEST_<virtual_hostname>
connections could be created to every database in cluster.
Any ideas how this could be done?

Hello Jari,
I noticed this problem too, unfortunately your message wasn't answered. And as you may have noticed, Thomas's procedure doesn't work. Eventually I found a colleague who explained to me that you need to modify the generated TCP/IP RFCs for the cluster (SAPXPG_DBDEST_<physical host>) so that the target host uses the logical host name. You'll still see the physical host name in DBACOCKPIT, but at least the tool will work.
Also, the brconnect will fail if the SCS and database are on opposite sides of the cluster, since the gateway will try to connect to the database on the local host (you could create another stand-alone gateway for the database group, but since only brtools are affected by this, it isn't really worth it).

Sean

    Hi,
    The metalink note Output Post Processor Fails Due to java.sql.SQLException: Exhausted Resultset [ID 740529.1], is not related to us, we have already verified that. In our case the Application is running on Virtual Hostname and this virtual hostname is taken care by Veritas Library, ACC.
    Secondly the FND_NODES also shows the Virtual hostname as the application is configured on Virtual Hostname. So in our case its not seems to be comming from the FND_NODES tables, rather it seems that some of the Java files/class is picking it by the OS command uname -a.
    So if we can find that class or environment file of java, we can export the Virtual Hostname as we used it in configuration. Please note that the Concurrent Manager and Application listener are also working fine on the Virtual Hostname, by using the Veritas library.
    Solaris:
    LD_PRELOAD_32=/usr/lib/secure/libvuname.so
    VHOSTNAME=<virtual hostname>
    Please suggest.
    Best Regards
    Ali Ammar.

  • Virtual hostname already assigned to another system on the network

    Sorry for the cross-post... I just want to make sure I get this in the right forum:
    I am having trouble getting past the cluster configuration setup in Clusterware 10.2.0.1.0 on SLES9 -i386.
    The following error explains it all:
    The virtual hostname(s), dl560-3-vip,dl560-4-vip, you have specified appears to be already assigned to another system on the network. Please ensure that the virtual hostname(s) that you use for each of the nodes in the cluster are not in use currently.
    Now if I remove the vip's from my /etc/hosts file, I can proceed to the next step... but I have to re-add them in order for it to resolve and continue.
    Thanks in advanced for your help.

    you shouldn't be able to ping those addresses .... ?Is that a question or a statement... :-) I'm not really sure.

  • Sapinst.exe SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME= virtual hostname of (A)SCS instance

    Hi all,
    For starting installation on HA systems with following command  INST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual hostname of (A)SCS instance>
    <virtual hostname of (A)SCS instance> points to SAP<SID> or GPSYSTEM  ?
    GPSYSTEM is name of virtual host created during MSCS ,  or SAP<SID> which is created for A(SCS)..
    Which is used for starting , However i have started with GPSYSTEM, resulting in some issues, therefore is suspect. Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Rahul

    This host name need be the name which you put in 7.4.2 step 10(when you create the client access point, you also need assign a IP address to this name in your public network, this is refer teh installation guide for ehp4, not ehp5), if your DNS setting haven't done the resolution for this virtual host name, you need put a entry to you hosts file, for example, if you use virtual host name is GPSYSTEM, your hosts in nodeA and nodeB need have below line:
    <IP address for this virtual host>   GPSYSTEM
    Later on after finish this installation, you can let network team add it to your DNS setting.  you need can ping GPSYSTEM after you finish 7.4.2 and bring the access point online. You need use sapinst.exe SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=GPSYSTEM to do the installation.
    BTW, you should add all your three virtual host name into your hosts file or setup in DNS at first, the three virtual hosts is:
    virtual host for failover cluster
    virtual host for DB
    virtual host for ASCS(suppose you only need ABAP stack), below is my hosts before setup it in DNS
    172.30.15.30     DBPRD    #virtual host for db
    172.30.15.31     SAPPRD #virtual host for ASCS
    172.30.15.32     CSPRD   #virtual host for failover cluster

  • Change OEM to virtual hostname from physical hostname.

    Hi,
    we access our OEM using physical hostname. It has been working like this from some time now. Is it possible that now we change physical hostname to virtual hostname i.e. we want to access OEM via virtual hostname.
    We are concerned about the high availability of our OEM. so in order to install multiple oms homes on different servers we need to have first OEM running on virtual hostname. what changes we need to make on OMS side ?
    Let me know if more information is required on this. We are on 10.2.0.3 grid control running on sun solaris and some 100 targets added to it.

    See the Advanced Configuration Guide at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/b40002/toc.htm

    HI,
    Ask your OS vendor or who has implemented cluster about IP address of cluster package,
    then, add those IP addresses in you "/etc/hosts" file as below:
    <IP add clusterPackage>    <ClusterPakage-1>
    <IP add clusterPackage>    <ClusterPakage-2>
    and so on...

  • How to Install Physical and Virtual Host

    I am getting licensing issues after I installed Essentials 2012R2 on a physical machine and then used the same license to virtualize it.  It's saying my physical machine needs to hold all the FSMO roles in which my virtual machine is hosting those roles.
    I read that Microsoft allows you to use the Essentials license for the physical and virtual server.  Is that correct? 
    Is there a specific service I need to remove on the physical machine in order for these errors to stop?  I still have the Windows Server Essentials Experience service installed. Is that what needs to be removed?
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • What is the difference between "Invisible" (11g) and "virtual" index?

    Hi
    What is the difference between the "Invisible" index and "virtual" index?
    Thanks
    Balaji

    Indexes can be visible or invisible. An invisible index is maintained by DML operations and cannot be used by the optimizer. Actually takes space, but is not to be used as part of a potential access path.
    AFAIK, a virtual index is created by the tools used in SQL statement access path tuning to provide an alternative for the optimizer to test. It does not take any real space as it is a pure in memory definition.

  • Difference between logical and virtual terms

    Hello,
    This is not purely oracle question; but in documentation so many times we find 2 terms:
    A. Logical
    B.Virtual.
    So what is the principle difference between logical and virtual? As I know physical is that which I can see and touch; while logical/virtual is that is imaginary. We say tablespace is logical not virtual; while Java Virtual Machine; not Java Logical Machine. So I want to know; what is the principle difference; why two words for an imaginary thing. Before posting question; I searched in google as “Difference between virtual and logical” but I couldn’t found the answer.
    Please quote your comments.
    Thanks & Kind Regards
    Girish Sharma

    Girish,
    I wont say that I am correcting you as this is like that half glass full/empty thing.May be what I see is half empty , you would see the same as half full.
    Well now coming to the explanation.I am saying honestly , I got more confused after reading your definitions.What do you mean by saing that tablespace is not virtual.I see it as purely virtual.We don't say it as virtual tablespace or logical tablespace but it is actualy logical/virtual, having no existance but just the definition right?
    How can you say that the size of virtual is larger than logcial?The size of tablespace is actualy the sum total of size of datafiles.So it actualy becomes very larger right?Much larger than JVM which is of few megs only.
    The point 3 totally knocked me out.I have no idea what you said.
    Ok I tell you this.Just remember the definition that Hans gave already.If you ask me than its the best definition that we can have. Just remember this and if some one asks you more further than give them your point 3 definition and tell them understand this ;-).Please don'tmind I am just kidding. Its just semantics.Don't get lost into it.You will find many people using both the terms interchangibly. So its ok.I shall stick with Hans's defintion,simple and concise.There are lot more other topics to dig upon in oracle.I can mail you lots of them.Spend time on those.Don't think that I am demotivating you.I understand you asked only because you have a doubt.But we got a good resolution of it and beyond that, its not of much use to dig it atleast not in the technial terms.
    Cheers

  • BadRequest: Virtual machines with secondary network interfaces and virtual machines with no secondary network

    I'm trying to create an "ExtraLarge" VM with multiple NICs.  The New-AzureVM returns the following error:
    BadRequest: Virtual machines with secondary network interfaces and virtual machines with no secondary network
    interfaces are not supported in the same deployment, also a virtual machine having no secondary network interfaces
    cannot be updated to have secondary network interfaces and vice-versa.
    But I have no other VMs.  Or at least I did and then deleted them and all their disks.  The service has no deployments (either staging or production).
    Why is New-AzureVM complaining about a mismatch of VMs with and without secondary network interfaces when no other VMs exist?
    I have tried many things to fix this, including the deletion of ALL of my resources.  I have deleted and created the service many times, both with an affinity group and without.  I have a screen print of the -debug output if your interested.
    Thanks for the outstanding help.

  • SIU - Apply Computer Name and Local Hostname settings from a file

    I am setting up a workflow to image corporate computers and wanting to know how the "Apply Computer Name and Local Hostname settings from a file" works in the Apply System Configuration Settings task.
    We bind the computer to AD and OD and we have a specific naming convention for certain departments and trying to automate the entire imaging process.
    Would this be something that can be done with SIU?

    Well, maybe there's a bug in the latest version (10.5.3) of SIU as this is not what is happening.
    It doesn't seem to matter what I specify for the name parameters I end up with a Bonjour name of ".local".
    I put in a line of the form <Mac Address><TAB>tom<TAB>dick<TAB>harry into the text file used by the Apply System Configuration Settings Action.
    and end up with hostname = tom, Computer Name = dick and Bonjour Name = .local
    I'm building the NetInstall image on a new iMac running 10.5.3 booted out of a second partition and create the image from the main boot partition (also 10.5.3). I then copy the image to my server (10.5.3) and make a second iMac boot up from the NetInstall image.

  • Regarding logical and virtual

    Hello,
    can any one tell me the differences between logical and virtual.

    The meaning depends upon the context in which the terms are used.

  • I shall wait until Kaspersky URL addon and virtual keyboard are available before upgrading. Why not let us see what addons/ extensions are available for each upgrade without having to download each and uninstall again?

    I have 3.6. It works fine for me. Kaspersky link filter and virtual keyboard are on the toolbar.
    I have upgraded twice now, but each time these and other extensions are not available for the version. So I uninstall and go back to 3.6.
    As you are having this spate of upgrades, it would be so much better if we could know what extensions are and are not available before we upgrade.
    Why not build the upgrades so that extensions work?

    Same problem here too. Curious to see what could be causing this. It has been happening for me for the last two years (South Park). Not too big a deal but it would be great for the auto download to work properly.
