Document on 10g RAC setup on solaris using vmware

Hi All,
I am planning to setup "Oracle 10g RAC setup on Solaris using vmware", but I am strucked up at installation of Soaris 10 in VMWare.
Can any body please help/provide me the document on Solaris 10 installation for RAC setup .
The main problems I am having during the SOlaris 10 setup is
1) Setting up the static public and private addresses required for RAC
2) Partitioning the disk space.
Thanks in advance,

Installation of oracle 10g rac on open solaris for X86 Machine

Hi
Can you please let me know the advantages of installation of oracle 10g rac on open solaris on x86 machine.And also let me know the detail steps involved in instatllation of oracle 10g rac on open solaris on x86. please suggest the recommdendation for the installation
Thanks

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

Need to change IP address and host name on a ORACLE 10g RAC setup.

Hi Forum,
I have a task to change the IP address, host name and host related details for the ORACLE 10g RAC 2 node setup. So Can anyone tell me the procedure to do the same on both the nodes.
Regards
Prakash

change IP Address Public + VIP + Interconnect
http://surachartopun.com/2007/01/i-want-to-change-ip-address-on-oracle.html
change VIP name
http://surachartopun.com/2009/01/change-vip-hostname-on-oracle-rac.html
If you'd like to change HOSTNAME... Metalink (NOTE:220970.1)
Can I change the public hostname in my Oracle Database 10g Cluster using Oracle Clusterware?
Hostname changes are not supported in Oracle Clusterware (CRS), unless you want to perform a deletenode followed by a new addnode operation.
The hostname is used to store among other things the flag files and Oracle Clusterware stack will not start if hostname is changed.
Changing the Private Interconnect
o Change of the IP Address: change the IP address in the hosts file and/or DNS and make sure that ASM and the database also use the same interconnect
o Change of the private node name used by Oracle Clusterware: requires a reinstall of Oracle Clusterware
So, Public or Private hostnames can only be changed by removing/adding nodes, or reinstalling Oracle Clusterware. VIP Hostnames can be changed
But you can read this idea (reinstall CRS)

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.

10g RAC setup trouble in Windows 2003 env.

Hello, guys,
I had trouble in setup 10g RAC in Windows 2003 env.
Environment is following.
* Two PC which have two LAN cards which one is connected public network, other is connected internal network.
And Two PC have SCSI card connected shared disk. Share disk is setup logical drive, not assigned drive letter.
* PC's OS is Windows2003 Enterprise Server. OS is installed clean, not contain previous oracle.
Due to install manual, At first setup CRS, second setup 10g. So I setup CRS at firast. During CRS setup, I input two PC's public name and private name in installing node window and proceed setup, setup program install program into two PC at the same time. But setup failed in last service configuration window, and CRS service can't start.
I checked error message in log file, error is about registry... I can't find cause.
Do you know how to setup CRS into two PC?

I could resolve this trouble.
Cause is that shared disk settig is affected. Another side PC can't mapped drive letter, so I assigned drive letter manually, and reboot both PC.
After that, OracleCRService, OracleCSService, OracleEVMService could run.
Thanks

Anybody Succeeded in RAC 2 node installation using vmware?

Friends,
i tried to install 2 node 10gR2 RAC in vmware workstation and also in vmware server 2.
i check the clustering will be supporting in vmware workstation (ofcourse it will give a warning that clustering will not support)
i got struck in connecting the first node to the host.
ok here goes my problem..
1. i am doing everything in dell precision m4600 i7 2720qm
2. host is windows 7 pro version(172.16.1.3)
3. installed vmware workstation 8 in win7
4. installed the rhel 4.8 as a guest os with two network card. one is bridged(172.16.1.4) and other one is host only(10.10.10.31).
5. after installation of os, i tried to ping the guest os from host and viceversa....but no use...not pinging....
6. in the both win7 and guest os i set the gateway as 172.16.1.1
so this is the problem...how to solve this network issue...? once i solve this, then only i can go with the next step....
for the past 10 hrs...i was keep on searching in the forums,irc etc.....still i didnt get a solution....
i hope somebody in this forum...have succeeded....so i hope somebody will help me in solving this issue.
i followed many links...all are stating to add two network cards one is for public and another one is for private (virtualip will be added in the host file).
thanks

did you install l VMware Client Tools?
after install vmware tools you can copy and paste files between guest os and main windows system.
check you /etc/hosts file in the guest Operating system. need to ping between the two node guest os only. no need to worry about primary windows 7 os and guest os

10g rac on solaris

Dear all,
We are in the process of installtion of 10g RAC on solaris.
As far as i studied,
OCFS cannot be used in Solaris
Only 3rd party cluster file system can be used
if no 3 party cluster file system can be used,we have to use ASM
Is there any other options for this ?
Please guide
Kai

Raw Storage device for 10g RAC

Hi
What would be economical & of good quality RAW storage device for 10g RAC setup
Thanks
JIL

Sorry, but what do you mean shared networK?
Yes you need to ensure 2+ server hosts can access the storage array, but if you array can handle multiple direct connections then this is perfectly acceptable for RAC - this is Direct Attached Storage DAS.
Your original post made me think of NAS which may not be what you were meaning, but is how I read network device - NAS, NFS kinda thing - which is NOT a requirement for RAC.

Oracle 10g RAC VMware support

Is Oracle 10g RAC supported in a production VMware environment yet? If not, what is the hold up? VMware is the standard in the industry now and not being able to virtulize is both costly and not practical.

As the previous responder points out, whilst Oracle does not actively certify its products in VMWare environments, it will provide support provided the issue is already known on the guest OS, or it can be reproduced outside a VMWare environment.
I know of many organisations running VMWare with RAC, including my own although we tend NOT to use it in Production environments. Oracle has many resource management capabilities built in to the RDBMS and the Grid Infrastructure which only work well if Oracle has control of all of the resources on a server.
I guess if you're not satisfied with our responses, you should direct your question to Oracle Support rather than this forum. Certification of VMWare is probably as much (or may be mostly) a business decision by Oracle and us Forum members can't generally explain those decisions.
