Dbca issue on node2

Im trying to run dbca on my node2 of the cluster ( this is 10.2 db home running against 11.2 clusterware)
but it comes back with an error ... below is the error from trace file for the dbca
ava.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /u01/app/oracle/product/db02/jdk/jre/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

dbca is working fine on the node1 of the cluster...
os: linux 5.4
any idea on what it could be ?

i know what the issue was, it was caused by missing package
(1/2): libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.i386.rpm | 22 kB 00:00
(2/2): libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.x86_64.rpm
do I need to delete and readd the node to my cluster ? ( in another work reinstaling the oraclehome? ) or that relinking will do ?I think only relinking will work if you didn't get error during installation.
And if you had faced some issue during installation also then I would suggest to reinstall.

DBCA: Issue Creating a cluster database in RAC

Hello Expert,
We encountered some issues while trying to create a cluster database. The issue is:
When running DBCA to create a cluster database, we seem unable to bring up the screen where we can choose "Oracle Real Application Cluster database". It only allows us to create single instance database. We must have missed some steps. Any suggestions?
1. Below are the specs:
* OS: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (October Update 6) 2.6.9 67.0.15.0.1.ELsmp

Until you provide some hints about operating system for each of the RAC machines, the networking you have installed (and whether you have the interconnect running), the shared disk mechanism (and whether it is confirmed shared raw or ASM), the Oracle software versions, whether your systems passed cluster verify ... we would be wasting our time guessing.

DBCA issue

Hi all,
When I was Enter the DBCA for creating new database the following error occur
oracle@linux:~> dbca
DISPLAY not set.
Set DISPLAY environment variable, then re-run.
How to retify the problem
plz
Regards ...

The DISPLAY variable needs to be set to the root window of an X server, thus
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.149:0.0.
Are you telnet-ing in from your PeeCee? If so, you need an X server running on you PeeCee -- Like Hummingbird Exceed. If you are telnet-ing in from a unix or linux workstation running X ( like, Motif, for example ), then you need to allow X connection to your workstation. To do this, open a console and issue the command xhost +

Error message "ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact" during dbca

Background info: I am building a new test 11.2.0.3 RAC cluster running on IBM pSeries hardware with AIX 6.1 OS level. I need to practice building a cluster and then adding a new node later. Because of limited hardware availability, my inital cluster will have 1 node and I will add the additional node later.
I installed Grid Infrastructure successfully. GI and ASM are online and appear to be working normally. Today I installed the 11.2.0.3 database software. I am now trying to create a test database using DBCA. After entering all of the database information (SID information, where db files should reside, memory sizing, etc.) the database creation begins, then immediately issues the error message "ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact".
I have searched MOS (Metalink) and also reviewed a few sites using Google. All of the information indicates this problem occurs most often when trying to log into an existing database using sqlplus. I haven't found anything related to this error message during database creation.
Does anyone have advice on how to troubleshoot where the problem is coming from? Can you point me to some documentation that would help with this issue?
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!

Srini,
I was verifying that I understood your request. The last install log relates to the Oracle db software installation and was created by OUI. The DBCA utility has not created any actual install logs. DBCA issues the error less than 10 seconds after I choose the "Finish" button to begin the database creation process. I also reviewed 4 notes on MOS and unfortunately they do not seem to apply. The permissions settings appear correct on all directories for both the database software owner and the grid infrastructure owner as well.
Here are the last 200 lines from the OUI install log. Thank you again for all of your help!

Creating Template in DBCA shuts down existing database

Found a feature in the Database Configuration Assistant under Manage Templates. It allows you to create a template of an existing database including the structure, meaning datafiles. I thought this would be great to create a test database on a different server.
When I went to create the template, it did not warn me that it would shut down the database I was creating the template of. Not thinking it would need to, still don't understand why it would need to, I proceeded on my merry way until I was informed my production database was down. A quick review of the alert log showed the alter database shutdown command.
So a warning to others not to do this, and a reminder to self to never trust an application to perform the way you think it should, but test, test, test before trying on production.
I would love to hear if this is a bug or a undocumented feature of this utility. I also would like to know why it had to shut the database down.
Thanks.

There is a documented BUG 4393252 on 9i 9.2.0.6.0 which may relate to your problem.
It indicates that DBCA issues a Shutdown Immediate without warning when you choose to create a Template "From an existing database (structure as well as data)".
Have a look at it.

How expand an existing database in a cluster to an existing cluster node?

Hi Guys,
I was installing a RAC yesterday and below is my installation steps path, please help me to move forward.
I have 2 Redhat5 servers: Node1 and Node2. I installed Clusterware and ASM on both nodes, so the system looks like this:
Node1: Clusterware, +ASM1
Node2: Clusterware, +ASM2
Because I found some hardware issue with "Node2" so I shut it down for maintenance. Because of the tight schedule, I started RAC database installation on "Node1" only. So now the system looks like this:
Node1: Clusterware, +ASM1, ORCL
Node2: Clusterware, +ASM2
* "ORCL" is the DB_NAME installed
Now, the "Node2" is back online and I would like to expand my ORCL instance to the "Node2". I am a bit confused of what to do next, should I use addNode.sh? Or run Oracle database installer on Node2 then use addNode.sh?
Thanks

OS X issue with 10g, dbca won't run due to classChangeError

I am trying to install oracle 10g on my powerbook G4 (1gb) and I keep getting the same problem with the database creation assistant (dbca). I am running OS X 10.3.6 and xCode 1.5. The installation goes fine with no issues but the at the point of launching dbca, I get the following error;

Apparently windows 2000 does not meet the minimum requirements for QT7.5, so what you need to do is find out what version of QT7 does if one ever did, if not your probably going to have to install QT6.5, which may be the latest version 2000 can run?

Hi,
I have a Sun SPARC box . There are 7 instances 2 in 9.2.0.8 and 5 in 10.2.0.1 upgraded earlier than my joining. I want to upgrade one of the 9.2.0.8 databases.
The database to upgarde is up and running and can be connected through listener.
I login as the owner of ora10g and start dbua. It shows me all the 7 databases but when I select the database to upgrade it throws the following info :
[b]The Upgrade Assistant Failed in bringing up the database xxxx. Oracle Home /oracle/9.2.0.8 obtained from /etc/oratab was used to connect to the database. Either the database is not running from Oracle Home /oracle/9.2.0.8 or correct Initialization pfile was not found.
It then asks for pfile. -----------------------------------
The database is up and running.The Oracle home is also correct in Oratab file.
I checked the sqls.log file
It has info like
set heading off
set pagesize 0
set feedback off
set linesize 2048
set sqlprompt 'SQL_ENGINE_END_OF_SQL'
show sqlprompt
set sqlprompt 'SQL>'
set sqlprompt 'SQL>';
set heading off
set pagesize 0
set feedback off
set linesize 2048
set sqlprompt 'SQL_ENGINE_END_OF_SQL'
show sqlprompt

set heading off
set pagesize 0
set feedback off
set linesize 2048
set sqlprompt 'SQL_ENGINE_END_OF_SQL'
show sqlprompt

Please help on this issue . Y cant the DBUA see that database is up?

Issue At the time of Creating ASM instance through DBCA For 11g RAC db :

Hi,
I have configured two node RAC with OEL5.
I have installed below software successfully under different home locations.
1) Clusterware :
2) ASM
3) Database
I want to run ASM instance under separate home but when i am executing dbca from ASM home location to create asm i am facing a problem which is not traceable by me. Please help me if any body has any idea on it.
Problem:
Sometime(displayed below) ASM instance is running from node 1 and some times from node 2. At a time ASM in both instance is not in online state. At the end dbca is displaying ORA-01034: ORACLE not available. Please let me know what may be the exact reason for this.

Yes you are right , I have to make to sure stock budget doesn't get credited.
If you remember in one of my other threads, i wanted to derive commitment item from Matl grp, it was for this purpose. I will derive commitment through matl group at the time of procurement / GR etc and assign a dummy commitment item to stock a/cs. Where as i will derive a consumption commiment item from consumption GLs.
Thank you

Issue on DBCA

hi everyone,
im trying to create a database for 3 node cluster using DBCA during database creation when it reaches 70% i get blank or empty pop up window with no warnings or errors when i click ok it stops the database creation. I m using ASM for file management and all datafiles will go to data. It looks like it creates datafiles in data but when it about to create instance it give me this error. Please let me know what should i have to do. i tried on single node and for file storage i used local storage and it created the databas but when i tried for all 3 nodes then it happens. Please guide me. thnx

Hi user652788
To verify whether your system meets all of the criteria for creating a database or for making a database configuration change, use the pre-check command for the Database Configuration stage as follows:
cluvfy stage -pre dbcfg -n node_list -d oracle_home [-verbose]
Can you please give us the result of that command ?
Thanks

It shows the chart in blank and if i try to write the disk group, so the following message appears: can not use ASM for database storage due to following reason: Could not connect to ASM due to following error: ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
What can be passing in this case... ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks both
Really the problem initially was because of this:
[INS-06006] Passwordless SSH connectivity not set up between the following node(s): [node1, node2]. CVU may reports "PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user "user"" for same error
and I had to install node1 first and after node2 manually and perhaps for this the product was not well linked.
I resolved the problem establishing the keys with the wizard and after copying the following files from node1 to node2
/home/grid/.ssh -------> /home/grid/.ssh
authorized_keys
known_hosts
This is the procedure if you run the wizard at the node1.
The problem is that the wizard creates the keys incompletely...
Thanks

Issues while Add / Delete RAC Node in Oracle 10g R2

Hi,
I have an requirement to add a New Node in the existing 2 Node RAC at Production, where 1 Node is Active & other one is passive due to licence issue & cannot keep both the nodes as active. Due to performance issues (Memory , CPU Cores ..etc) we are adding another new node.
Right now we are planning to add a 3rd database node making the new node as active and current active one as passive which is a swap & later on after final observation delete and decommission the current passive node.
This activity is checked at the Dev database with the same infrastructure (OS + Memory ..etc) but want to check what is the best approach (or) challenges we face during the RAC Node Addition / Deletion
RAC DB Version : 10.2.o.4
OS Version : RHEL 5.8
(1) Is the approach is right one , First Adding the node & later on delete
(2) If the approach is the correct , what would be the behavious of the 3rd node in means of active (or) passive
(3) We have taken RMAN backup , OS backup , CRS , ORACLE_HOME , ASM_Home backup , OCR & VD.
(4) Could you please give detail steps for adding / deleting node in 10g R2.
(5) Are they any known bugs to us with the DB release (or) OS while performing this activity.
Since this is a production machine we want to more proactive . Please correct or add any thing i am missing out ...
With Thanks,
Rakesh

Hello Rakesh,
Please follow the following steps.
Node Addition Steps
1. Install and configure OS and hardware for new node.
2. Add Oracle Clusterware to the new node.
3. Configure ONS for the new node.
4. Add ASM home to the new node.
5. Add Databse home to the new node.
6. Add a listener to the new node.
7. Add ASM instance to the New Node.
8. Add a database instance to the new node.
Details of steps
1. run cluvfy to verify whether New node is ready for addition or not.
     $ cluvfy stage -pre crsinst -n node2
2. from node1, execute
          $/u01/app/crs11g/oui/bin/addNode.sh
3. Specify node2 vip address and follow instructions.
4. In the last of installtion it may through an wornig and will ask to click on YES. click on YES
5. from node1,
          /u01/app/crs11g/bin/racgons add_config node2:6200
6. from Node1,set ORACLE_HOME=ASM_HOME and then execute addNode.sh from $ASM_HOME/oui/bin and Follow instrusctions.
7. From node1, set ORACLE_HOME=DB_HOME and then
     /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/oui/bin/addNode.sh
     and Follow instructions.
8. from node2 start NETCA and configure listener for new node. While configuring Listener select the name of new node.
9. from node1 start dbca from ASM Home to configure ASM instance for new node.
10. Again from node1 start dbca from DB Home to add DB instance
Node deletion Steps
1. Delete the Database instance on the node to be deleted.
2. Clean up the ASM instance.
3. Remove the listener from the node to be deleted.
4. Remove the node from the database.
5. Remove the node from ASM.
6. Remove ONS configuration from the node to be deleted.
7. Remove the node from the clusterware
Details of Steps
1. Remove database Instance of node2
     Dbca -> instance Management -> delete instance -> password for sys -> select node -> finish.
2. Stop asm for node2 from any nodes.
     $srvctl stop asm –n node2
3. Remove asm for node2
     $ srvctl remove asm -n node2
4. Remove Listener from Node2 using NETCA.
5. From Node2:
          ./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=node2" -local
6. From Node2, start runinstaller from Oracle_DB_Home/oui/bin, and remove "DB_HOME"
     $ ./runinstaller
     On the WELCOME Screen -> Deinstall product -> Select dbhome name (OraDb10g_Home1) -> Remove
7. From Node1:
          ./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=node1"
8. From Node2, set Oracle_Home to asm_1 and then fire:
          ./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=node2" -local
9. From Node2, start OUI and deinstall ASM Home.
10. From Node1, Set ORACLE_HOME= /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/asm_1
11. From Node1: from /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/asm_1/oui/bin, start OUI
          ./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=node1"
12. From Node2: as a root user (#) execute rootdelete.sh from /u01/app/crs11g/install
     # /u01/app/crs11g/install/rootdelete.sh
13.From Node-1 first find out the node numbers
     # /u01/app/crs11g/bin/olsnodes -n
     output : node1 1
          node2 2
14. From Node-1 as a root user (#):
     # /u01/app/crs11g/install/rootdeletenode.sh node2[Node_Name] 2[node_no]
     output:
          CRS nodeapps are deleted successfully
          clscfg: EXISTING configuration version 4 detected.
          clscfg: version 4 is 11 Release 1.
          Node deletion operation successful.
          'node2' deleted successfully
15. From Node2 set ORACLE_HOME=CRS_HOME and then execute
     $$ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=node2" CRS=TRUE -local
16. ./runInstaller and remove CRS_HOME
17. From Node-1:
     $ /u01/app/crs11g/oui/bin/runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME "CLUSTER_NODES=node1" CRS=TRUE
18. check node is deleted from ./crs_stat -t

DBCA did not see the ASM disk group in NODE 2 but see in NODE 1

Are there anyone who encountered creating a database using DBCA with ASM as file system?
Our issue before is in both nodes the DBCA did not see the ASM disk group.
But after setting the TNS_ADMIN in both nodes and running the DBCA as administrator in Node 1, the DBCA able to see now the ASM disk group. Unfortunately, in Node 2 it didn't work out?
So we didn't know why is it from Node 2, the DBCA still didn't see the ASM disk group?Since it is both the same.
Any ideas? Please advise.
For you information, we are using Windows 64-bit, Oracle 11g R2
Thank you in advance for those who will respond.

Are the disks given to the ASM are visible from Node2?

Asm does not start on node2

I am trying to build a oracle rac as a test environment at home
I have three desktops
a) node1
b) node2
c) openfiler
I am using Jeffrey hunter's website for instructions on Oracle Rac 10g install using openfiler for iscsi
node1,node2 is configured for 10.2.0.1
When I do the create database with dbca I am getting a message
unable to start asm on node2
The change that I made in the install is as follows
node 1 has two network cards eth0-100 mbps - public ip address and eth1-1Gbit private ip address
node 2 has two network cards eth1-100 mbps - public ip address and eth0- 1gbit private ip address
when linux install was done it automatically assignmed eth0 to the 1gb nic card on node 2
Do you think that this is the issue ?
I post below some part of the asm alert log of node2
LICENSE_SESSIONS_WARNING = 0
Interface type 1 eth1 192.168.2.0 configured from OCR for use as a cluster interconnect
WARNING 192.168.2.0 could not be translated to a network address error 1
Interface type 1 eth0 192.168.1.0 configured from OCR for use as a public interface
WARNING: No cluster interconnect has been specified. Depending on
the communication driver configured Oracle cluster traffic
may be directed to the public interface of this machine.
Oracle recommends that RAC clustered databases be configured
with a private interconnect for enhanced security and
performance.

I tried various methods but it did not work.
so to resolve the issue since this is a test environment at home I decided to reinstall the whole setup again.
Of course when I installed the Linux o/s (Centos 5.3) the eth0 was detected as the 1Gbps card and the eth1 was detected as 100mbps card of the motherboard.
So I swapped them by de-activating them and logging in as root and opening these files
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
and swapping the lines
HWADDR=<mac address>
from both files.
I activated the cards again and voila - the eth0 is now the 100mbps card and the eth1 is the 1Gbps card
I am having a small doubt with the documentation of Jeffrey Hunter
the doubt is
At the start of the documentation in the o/s network config section
on linux2 he specifies
eth0 -IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.101/ Prefix (Netmask): 255.255.255.0
eth1:-IPv4 Address: 192.168.2.101/ Prefix (Netmask): 255.255.255.0
When vipca fails
His documentation is as follows
quote
[root@linux2 ~]# /u01/app/crs/bin/oifcfg setif -global eth0/192.168.1.0:public
[root@linux2 ~]# /u01/app/crs/bin/oifcfg setif -global eth1/192.168.2.0:cluster_interconnect
[root@linux2 ~]# /u01/app/crs/bin/oifcfg getif
eth0 192.168.1.0 global public
eth1 192.168.2.0 global cluster_interconnect
Now - my question is why the difference between
eth0 -IPv4 Address: *192.168.1.101*/ Prefix (Netmask): 255.255.255.0
eth1:-IPv4 Address: *192.168.2.101*/ Prefix (Netmask): 255.255.255.0
and
[root@linux2 ~]# /u01/app/crs/bin/oifcfg setif -global eth0/192.168.1.0:public
[root@linux2 ~]# /u01/app/crs/bin/oifcfg setif -global eth1/192.168.2.0:cluster_interconnect
