DO I need SFRAC for Oracle 10g RAC  on Sun Solaris

My platform is SUN Solaris 10 64 bit on v490 server. On the backend side, we are using EMC CX500 storage. We will use Veritas File system and Veritas CFS.
I would like to ask, Do I must need SFRAC to configure Oracle 10g RAC or Can I just use only Oracle CRS. I do not want to use ASM.
Please advise
Thanks,
Sam..

The VCFS usually requires a Veritas Cluster, thus you would have to use the product combination that is bundled as SFRAC as mentioned before. Metalink in addition says:
10      10gR2 64-bit      Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC      5.0      Certified
There is one exception to this rule: Linux.
Veritas and Oracle support a standalone version of the Veritas Cluster Files System (and only this component) on Linux. This does not hold true for Solaris.
Concluding, if you want to use the VCFS you would need to get a VCS, which then basically means using SFRAC.
However, in this case, as mentioned before, you would not need ASM.

    If by "advantages of installation of oracle 10g rac on open solaris on x86 machine" you mean advantages over RAC on Linux or AIX or HP/UX there aren't any.
    If you want to know the advantages of RAC over stand-alone they generally relate to:
    1. Eliminating the server as a single point of failure
    2. Transparent fail-over
    2. Incremental horizontal scalability

  • Oracle 9i RAC on Sun Solaris 5.10/64 bit version.Is that supported ?

    I want to install Oracle 9i RAC on Sun Solaris 10 64 bit. Is that officially supported ?
    I dont this combination on metalink certify matrix

    I know we dont get support from oracle.But, you initially mentioned that you couldn't find the required information on metalink, therefore I provided that information, which I thought you were looking for.
    Is anybody still using this combination ? Does it work ? yes, we are using it and it has been working fine for over 4 years...of course we patched it to the latest - 9.2.0.8 to be on the supported release/patch.

  • Shared Storage allocation for Oracle 10g RAC

    Hi,
    I am about to implement a Two Node Oracle 10g RAC on Windows 2008 (32-Bit) servers. We are going to use EVA4400 storeage and we have 600 GB for Oracle RAC and database.
    I intend to follow the steps given in RACGuides_Rac10gR2OnWindows.pdf mentioned in Note 811271.1 (RAC Assurance Support Team: RAC Starter Kit and Best Practices (Windows)).
    I would like to know how should I allocated the storage for OCR,Vote, Database and Flash Recovery Area. Meaning how many LUNs and of what size to be created and presented to both the servers. To start with I need to create a 25 GB database. We will be using Raw Device for OCR and Vote and ASM for Database and Flash Recovery Area.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Thiru

    I am about to implement a Two Node Oracle 10g RAC on Windows 2008 (32-Bit) servers. Oracle 10g on Windows 2008 is not supported. Anyway installing a cluster as of today i would use a 64-bit operating system together with a 64-bit database. Everything else is not state-of-the-art anymore.
    As of today i would go with 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0) plus latest patches for Clusterware and ASM. Because you are using Windows 2008 you must use 11g Release 1 for the database as well. Bear in mind that Windows 2008 R2 is at this point in time not supported for 11g R1 or 11g R2 either.
    I would like to know how should I allocated the storage for OCR,Vote, Database and Flash Recovery Area. Meaning how many LUNs and of what size to be created and presented to both the servers. This is said in the installation documents. Rule of thumb: At least three LUNs of 2 GB for OCR and three LUNs of 2 GB for Voting disk.
    To start with I need to create a 25 GB database. We will be using Raw Device for OCR and Vote and ASM for Database and Flash Recovery Area.According to Oracles recommendations: Two disk groups: one for database files, the other for the flashback area.
    But your setup may be different (more disk groups,....)

  • Shared Disk Subsystem for Oracle 10g RAC

    I am investigating the feasibility of clustering two 220Rs together in an Oracle 10g RAC configuration. Can I use a D1000 disk array for the shared storage between the two nodes? Can you briefly describe how to do it or point me to documentation on how to do it?

    hi dstmark,
    can you kindly share some information with me? i am thinking of building up a small lab at home using A1000 to build up an Oracle RAC, as a1000 have 2 scsi port and have a build in controller.
    but i am unsure about the detail software requirement, as google return some conflict information.
    is SUN cluster would be enough? do i need to get something like Veritas Cluster? which may require a license key....
    thanks for sharing information.

  • Enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g RAC db

    Hello
    What are the steps to enable autoarchiving for Oracle 10g cluster database?
    It is currentrly in noarchivelog mode.
    Thank you,
    Yelena

    Hi.
    I think that this has been improved in 10g, so that we can do an exclusive mount on any database in a RAC without setting cluster_database to false. Also the parameter log_archive_start has been depreciated so the steps is simply (assuming that you by default wants to use db_recovery_file_dest to store archived redo logs)
    1) Shutdown immediate (instance 1)
    2) Startup mount
    3) Alter database archivelog
    4) Alter database open
    Repeat this sequence for all nodes in the RAC.
    And the best is to leave the log_archive_format by it's default value, to ensure that the incarnation of the database is represented in the archive log name.
    (On 10g, backupsets and archivelogs are usable beyond different reincarnation of a database, so there is a good change that S% or s% will repeat itself after an open resetlogs).
    Hopes this might help you.
    Good Luck

    First, tell us your current skill set - especially as it relates to Oracle database. Then we can give you the right advice.

  • Any idea about the pricing of the hardwares for Oracle 10g RAC?

    Hi,
    If I go for 2 nodes RAC using Dell servers and Disk array, any ideas about the prices? (just for the hardwares.)
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Jason

    It's all about the shared disk(s).
    If you are only ever going to use two (2) nodes a SCSI JBOD solution is cheap. (practical too with ASM as the cluster filesystem / volume manager)
    More than 2 nodes, you step up to certified NFS, iSCSI or FC/AL connected storage. More expensive, faster, more flexible.
    The computers are the cheapest portion of the cost especially with multiple core multiple cpu 64bit linux based servers being so inexpensive.

  • RAW disks for Oracle 10R2 RAC NO SUN CLUSTER

    Yes you read it correctly....no Sun cluster. Then why am I on the Forum right? Well we have one Sun Cluster and another that is RAC only for testing. Between Oracle and Sun, neither accept any fault for problems with their perfectly honed products. Currently, I have multipathed fiber hba's to a Storedge 3510, and I've tried to get Oracle to use a raw lun for the ocr and voting disks. It doesn't see the disk. I've made sure they are stamped for oracle:dba, and tried oracle:oinstall. When presenting /dev/rdsk/C7t<long number>d0s6 for the ocr, I get a "can not find disk path." Does Oracle raw mean SVM raw? Should I create metadisks?

    "Between Oracle and Sun, neither accept any fault for problems with their perfectly honed products"...more specific:
    Not that the word "fault" is characterization of any liability, but a technical characterization of acting like a responsible stakeholder when you sell your product to a corporation. I've been working on the same project for a year, as an engineer. Not withstanding a huge expanse of management issues over the project, when technical gray areas have been reached, whereas our team has tried to get information to solve the issue. The area has become a big bouncing hot potato. Specifically, when Oracle has a problem reading a storage device, according to Oracle, that is a Sun issue. According to Sun, they didn't certify the software on that piece of equipment, so go talk to Oracle. In the sun cluster arena, if starting the database creates a node eviction from the cluster, good luck getting any specific team to say, that's our problem. Sun will say that Oracle writes crappy cluster verify scripts, and Oracle will say that Sun has not properly certified the device for use with their product. Man, I've seen it. The first time I said O.K. how do we avoid this in the future, the second time I said how did I let this happen again, and after more issues, money spent, hours lost, and customers, pissed --do the math.   I've even went as far as say, find me a plug and play production model for this specific environment, but good luck getting two companies to sign the specs for it...neither wants to stamp their name on the product due to the liability.  Yes your right, I should beat the account team, but as an engineer, man that's not my area, and I have other problems that I was hired to deal with.  I could go on.  What really is a slap in face is no one wants to work on these projects, if given the choice with doing a Windows deployment, because they can pop out mind bending amounts of builds why we plop along figuring out why clusterware doesn't like slice 6 of a /device/scsi_vhci/ .  Try finding good documentation on that.  ~You can deploy faster, but you can't pay more!

  • RH Linux VIP configuration not working for Oracle 10g RAC installation

    Hi all,
    I am trying to setup my test cluster on Oracle 10gR2 and Red Hat Linux 4. I have the public and private networks working fine and setup. However, after I setup the two VIP addresses, I cannot even ping these two virtual IPs from Linux. CRS install fails during initial run because it cannot communicate with the two VIP IP addresses. Can anyone help me out as to how to go about fixing the two VIPs so that Linux can ping them and CRS will install?
    Thanks

    It sounds like you configured your VIP on Linux in advance, before installing Oracle.
    You are not supposed to do that.
    Decide on an IP that the VIP will use with your network manager, but don't configure it in Linux. So before you start the clusterware install, ifconfig should not show your VIP.
    CRS does not need VIP when you install the clusterware, only the interconnect address.
    VIP is configured using a utility called VIPCA. If Clusterware installation fails and you think it was caused by VIP issues, try running VIPCA manually and let us know what were the results.

    Hi
    we are having Oracle 10g server on Sun Solaris(64 bit) with 8 GB RAM.
    We are in need of moving the database to "Oracle 10g RAC". (Real Application Clusters)
    Our doubt is when loading the data into RAC server, will it affect the application?
    coz' we heared that RAC server should be down when we load the data.
    Is this correct?
    If yes, then How to maintain High data availability when we load the data in RAC server?? Please help me.
    Thanks.

    First, is this the same question that a colleague of yours posted in this thread?
    Data Load in RAC
    Second, are other sessions querying the table that you're loading data into? If so, how are you loading the data?
