Do we need to install microsoft cluster software for RAC 10G

Hi all,
Our company wants to install ORACLE 10G RAC on windows 2003 R2. Based on the pre-requisites I asked network guys to provide me the shared disk storage from SAN, but they insist that this storage will not be accessible until we have windows clustering software running on top of the two nodes. I want to use oracle clusterware for clustering.
Please let me know how does it work. Do i need to have windows cluster s/w first then install oracle clusterware on these nodes.
Help is as always appreciated
Regards
Aijaz

Hi Aijaz,
You don't need any clusterware beyond Oracle clustware, but if is a requirement to your company you can use another Clusterware to install RAC, if they are supported, check on metalink. The Clusterware from Oracle provide all you need to deploy a Real Application Cluster production environment.
With additional documentation, take a look on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14207/intro.htm#sthref21 for explain more about Oracle Clusteware
Here an excelent guide to install RAC 10g R2 on windows provided by Philip Newlan on http://www.jobcestbon.com/oracle/RacOnWindows.pdf
Regards,
Rodrigo Mufalani
Ps.: Thank you Philip, this paper is the best that I read based RAC on Windows!!!

  • Installation error message for Oracle Database software for version 10g

    Would someone be able to advise why I keep getting the following error message whilst installing Oracle trial Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition? Link listed below : -
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
    Error message "Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp"
    Below is the 12 steps that I go through, please advise what I'm doing wrong : -
    1. (Operations) default is Create a database
    2. (Database templetes) default is general purpose
    3. (Database Identification) projemp.local for Global database name & projemp for SID
    4. (Management options) default is "Configure the database with Enterprise manager, also the options button has been clicked for "Use database control for database management"
    5. (Database Credentials) the options button has been clicked for "Use the same password for all accounts" so I've set up a new password, was that correct?
    6. (Storage options) the options button is clicked for "File System - use the file system for database storage.
    7. (Database file locations) the options button is clicked for "Use database file locations for template" Is this option correct? Other options are Use common location for all database files or use Oracle-managed files?
    8. (Recovery configuration) the options button is clicked for "Specify flash recovery area
    9. (Database content) nothing has been selected, the only option is "Sample schemas" should that be clicked?
    10. (Initialization parameters) the options button is clicked for "Typical- allocate memory as a % of the total physical memory
    11. (Database storage) no options available
    12. (Creation options) the options button has been selected for "Create Database"
    Click finish
    I then get a screen stating General purpose, click OK then I get the following error message as stated at the start of this e-mail ""Cannot create directory"C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_7\cfgtoollogs\dbca\projemp".

    I've removed the software from my computer using control panel, programs & features then uninstall once but the other five times the software hasn't been listed. Whilst the Oracle was on my task bar I was able to install using Start > Programs > Oracle - HOME-NAME > Database Administration > Database Configuration Assistant.No you didn't. Database Configuration Assistant does not remove software. It can remove a database. As I mentioned before, there is a difference between the software and the objects that software manages. Deleting an Excel spreadsheet is not the same as deleting Microsoft Office. Deleting an Oracle database with Database configuration assistant is not the same as removing the Oracle software.

    Now that oracle is not on my task bar I've unzipped the link below, clicked on db, Disk1, setup, changed the Database password (is that correct?) install and I get the following error message "Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed<<<<<
    Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
    Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses;
    However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adaptor to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP."
    So what did you do with the above error message? Did you follow up on what it said? Did you read the very fine Installation Guide that comes with the software? Did you read the section on networking considerations where it discussed DHCP assigned addresses and installing the loopback adapter?
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html
    Ok, that link takes us to the download page, which does not shed any light at all on your problems
    I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 32 bit operating system, and my computer is saying I have 142 GB free space.
    If you read the installation manual that came with the downloaded software, you'd have seen in the prerequisites that Home editions of Windows are NOT listed as supported platforms, whereas Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions specifically ARE listed as supportd.
    Hope this is some help.And
    I'm not to clever on computers so would you be able to advise how I get to the command window to issue the SET command please?
    Also I've no idea what OS user I am, I'm taking an on-line Oracle course and been advised to install "Oracle Database software for version 10g Release 2 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition"
    How do I find out if I'm part of an Administrator, ORA_DBA group ?
    Can you walk me through how to create the directory from command line please?Ok, given the above statements from you, I'm not even sure where to begin. I don't want to be cruel, but this self-admitted lack of even the most rudimentary knowledge by someone attempting to learn about Oracle is truly astounding. What course are you taking? Why are you taking this course?

    Do I need to install virus protection software on my MacBook Air?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You do not need to install additional security software. OS X already comes with security software to keep your Mac safe. See > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg
    However, you should keep OS X and all your applications updated, and do not visit strange websites. Also, be careful with public networks, where your Mac is more vulnerable.
