Does managing Oracle 10g RAC with ASM require full root access?

We currently have three entirely separate support areas, Unix, Storage and DBA. We're now considering using Oracle 10g RAC with ASM and as part of the assessment trying to work out if we can still draw similar support boundaries. I know that installing RAC and configuring ASM requires root access but will DBA continue to need root access to manage & support RAC? If so, does anyone know if the commands they need can be RBAC'd or if we just need to share root access going forwards. I've had a look at a number of docs including http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/toc.htm. which is fairly informative but none of them seem to mention the requirement for root access on Solaris. I'm guessing they just assume that it's available, but that's not generally the case in our environment.
All advice / info welcome!

I would have thought that the only reason you would need root access once RAC and ASM had been set up would be to add more disks to the ASM configuration. This would be needed to change the ownership on the raw LUNs or to make additions to metasets (SVM/Oban) or diskgroups (VxVM/CVM). Beyond that, I can't imagine needing root access.
I'm sure others will chime in if they can think of other reasons!
Regards,
Tim

  • Oracle 10g RAC with ASM upgrade RHEL3 to RHEL4

    Has anyone acheived this or know of any documentation highlighting any pitfalls ?

    Hi.
    If you are using raw devices for ASM, I would not expect there to be a problem. I would have thought all you have to do is:
    - Stop Oracle from starting automatically on reboot.
    - Reboot the server and upgrade the OS.
    - Make sure all the prerequisites for the new OS are meet (check the isntall guide).
    - Startup Oracle.
    Note. It may be wise to do a "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink all" to make sure.
    If you are using ASMLib with ASM, then you will also need to upgrade your ASMLib software, as this is kernel version specific.
    Of course, I've never had to do this, so don't take my word for it :) Maybe an SR on Metalink is in order.
    Cheers

  • Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

    Hi all,
    I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
    for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
    My question is this:
    How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
    I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
    I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
    Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
    So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
    Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

  • Oracle 10g RAC using ASM - Storage Issue

    I’ve an issue related to Oracle 10g RAC.
    I’ve 2 node cluster each being Dell 2850 Server with RHEL 4.0
    I’ve EMC CX300 SAN storage with following partitions
    /orasoft     10 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    /oracrs          2 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    /orabackup      100 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    The datafiles are on ASM which is not directly visible in OS.
    I’ve common Oracle Home installed in /orasoft/db_1 which is shared by both nodes in cluster.
    I’ve faced an issue recently related to EMC storage.
    The /orasoft partition displays 1.4 Gb space available using df command.
    With both nodes sharing the common Oracle Home (/orasoft/db_1), when ever I try to touch a file I get an error as No Space left on device. I’m unable to start any service with the same reason.
    Is this setup correct ??
    Can anyone help me with this storage issue ??

    Need a clarification here...what do you mean by "Storage System"...do you mean a server/node or the SAN storage system. If you are referring to a server/node's local storage, then it would NOT be possible for use by RAC, since the disk space has to be shared among the nodes.
    Here is what you can do:
    - Create two partitions/devices (for example Disk_1 and Disk_2) in the SAN storage
    - Create a ASM disk group which would mirror Disk_1 to Disk_2.
    Again, please note that the partitions have to be visible and be accessible read/write from both the nodes/servers.

  • How to Create Manual Standby for a Oracle 11g RAC with ASM to Single Instan

    Hi All,
    I have a task to configure a Single Instance Standby Database with ASM for 2-node Primary RAC+ASM database.
    Version using : 11.1.0.6 Oracle 11g --- *" STANDARD EDITION "* Please note datagaurd will not be supported in standard edition.
    Primary database - 2 -Node RAC using ASM storage (All datafiles, redologs, controfile and archive logs)
    Need to setup a single instance standby database manually and than using scripts to transfer the archive logs from primary server to standby server to do recovery time to time.
    Please let me know if there are any configuration document(s) which can help me to set the manual standby? or need your kind help to give your valuable ideas how to go in above situation.
    Thanks in advance

    Well if the archive logs are stored in ASM on the primary nodes, you almost definitely want to be using RMAN to access them. Then to transfer between primary and standby there are many options, this is essentially the step that Data Guard takes care of - so if you (and I) are running Standard Edition, this is the part to "worry" about.
    I'm not really sure what you mean by this:
    As in standard edition the archive destination will be on ASMI don't think the Edition of Oracle (Standard or Enterprise) dictates where and how you store your archive logs, but it's possible I've misunderstood what you mean...SE dictates that database storage for RAC will be ASM, including archive log files. Anything else is not officially supported. I haven't tested but it may be that you can use LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST to specify a local filesystem for archive log files as well.
    If that doesn't work you'll have to script rman "backup as copy" jobs regularly and then transport the results of that.

    By the way, it seems Robert has been pretty helpful, it's polite to give him some points dude. And since this is your thread, not mine, give him a "helpful" from me too :p
    El DBA
    Incidentally if you are forced down the RMAN backup as copy route then this will likely throw your current backup retention strategy somewhat, you'll need to think carefully about when an archivelog can be deleted following backup, how many times it might be backed up and so on. I do understand, and have argued for, the use of SE RAC. I also understand and have argued for and implemented manually managed standby a number of times. However by the time your primary database is a RAC instance and you need a standby for DR etc then you really have to look very seriously at whether Standard Edition is still the right investment or not. You will be spending a lot of DBA time managing and troubleshooting this, and you will find that it is less reliable than the off the shelf solution. I suspect that you are very close to the point where an EE installation becomes a worthwhile investment here.

  • Oracle 10G support with ASM in Windows VM

    Hi,
    Planning to use Oracle 10G inside a Windows VM with paravirtualized drivers. We will be using iSCSI software initiator from within the windows VM directly to provision LUNs and use ASM as well.
    Will this combination fall under the supported category?
    thanks!
    Gak

    There are many different organizations involved with your question about being supported, so your best answer would be an official one directly from your Sales contact. There are mostly technical folk in these forums who can tell you if it will work, but that is not stating a support policy.

  • Oracle 10g Lite with ADF/BC4J Application(Offline access in Mobile )

    Hi All,
    We have the following requirement from one of our client.
    Customer Company has R12 Apps instance(which is having 10g Database APPSDB). The users will come in the morning
    and connect to the System(NEWSYSTEM) to download their daily worksheet(resides in APPSDB) to their Mobile Devices
    (Windows XP - http://www.keenzo.com/zoom.asp?zoom=3830134) and then disconnect from the system. The download of data
    should start after login into their Mobile Device Custom Application So that only their worksheet will be downloaded
    to their Mobile Device DB.
    Then they will goto their fields and review their daily worksheet in the Mobile Device application(NEW APPLICATION)
    in offline mode. And update in the application with their findings, which should be stored in the Mobile Device database(MOBILEDB).
    In the evening the uses will come and connect to the system(NEWSYSTEM) and login into their Mobile Application and
    start the upload process, then the updated data from their Mobile Database will be uploaded into APPSDB via the NEWSYSTEM.
    I checked the links, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/lite/index.html and http://lite.us.oracle.com and I have
    got some understanding about Oracle 10g Lite. For the above requirement we are proposing the NEWSYSTEM as Oracle 10g Lite Server
    and the NEW APPLICATION as ADF/BC4J which can run in their Mobile Devices(work offline and then sync with DB).
    I have the following questions.
    1) The above proposing system is feasible?
    2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
    control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
    3) If I want to have the above system,
    a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
    b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
    c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application
    in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
    and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
    4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
    What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
    I am new to Oracle 10g Lite, correct me if any of my understanding is wrong.
    If you have any comments in the approach please add it.
    Thanks in advance.
    With Regards,
    Kali.

    1) The above proposing system is feasible?
    perfecly feasible, and actually a reasonably standard use of oracle lite
    2) Can we develop the Mobile Application using ADF/BC4J and using that we would like to
    control the sync process from our custom application.(so that only their worksheet will come to their Mobile Device DB)
    Actually two different questions here. The application code that runs on the client device can be written in any thing that will run on that type of device, and is capable of using the APIs to connect to the local database, and the other functionality like synchronisation. From the forum there look to be VB, C, java users out there (an i even believe if you wanted to, you could use forms). Main decision regarding the Platform for the application code development tends to be whatever you have the skills in.
    In terms of the sync process only downloading a particular users worksheet, this would be defined when you define the snapshots of the database tables you want to download, rather than the sync login process itself.
    For example - you have a table WORKSHEETS on the server that you want to download, it has a column EMP_NO which is the employee identifier. You would define the selection for the snapshot as
    select * from WORKSHEETS where EMP_NO=:emp_no (note the bind variable)
    when you then add users to the oracle lite application (actually the database), then you will have a parameter called EMP_NO to define with the employee number for that particular user, and this will be used automatically as the bind variable in the download.
    NOTE subsetting in this way does not need to be direct, for example things like
    select * from TASKS where id in (select task_id from user_tasks where emp_no=:emp_no) is perfectly valid
    NOTE when reading the forum and documentation, be careful of the word application. There are actually two different things to be developed, both normally called 'application'
    Within oracle lite you create an application with publication items, scripts, sequences etc. and then subscribe your users to this application. The application in this context is actually the database and synchronisation management ONLY (you can include files and code for download)
    The second application is your runtime code that has a user interface, functionality, processing and validation. This is written in some development platform, and accesses the database created above for select, insert, update etc.
    3) If I want to have the above system,
    a) I should have Oracle 10g Lite server installed(im Unix or Windows)
    YES this goes on the app server and installs a repository schema MOBILEADMIN within your database
    b) I should have Oracle 10g Lite client installed in a Windows PC/Laptop
    YES - once the server is set up, this is downloaded and set up by accessing the <server url>/webtogo/setup
    c) To get my custom application in My Mobile Device, first I have to deploy the application in Oracle 10g server using Oracle Mobile Server. Then I have to connect my Mobile Device to the Oracle 10g Lite server,
    and deploy the application in my Mobile Device using Oracle Mobile Manager.
    steps in outline are
    1) install server
    2) develop the oracle lite application (ie: database) and publish this to the mobile server (can use the development kit or java APIs for these two steps
    3) add a user with the relevant subsetting parameters
    4) set up oracle lite win32 client on the laptop from the server download
    5) synchronise using the msync utility on the client to create the databases and odbc entries
    6) develop your application code using the client database
    7) during development, then changes to database structure would be via changes and re-publish of the oracle lite application, followed by a sync to update the client database
    8) once all development is complete, the runtime application code can be bundled up into the oracle lite application if you want, and then the initial sync for live users will download the database and application code.
    4) I would like to do a POC before start the project.
    What are all the installations I have to do in my Laptop.(Consider I am installing Oracle 10g Lite server/client, Mobile Manager in my Laptop)
    You can set up a standalone server on the laptop, but better to do this on a development app server so you can use the main server development database as the data souce for the snapshot definitions (pretty easy install). there are conflicts if you try and put the oracle lite client and the mobile development kit on the same machine, but if you are familiar with java, the API development is fairly straightforward to use (i have developed applications in this, and i know only the basics of java) you do not need the MDK
    Basic for a POC i would say is to
    1) set up mobile server on development
    2) define a simple oracle ite application on two server tables. one has select * from table, and the other has select * from table where .... including bind variable. at this stage use complete refresh as the mode for simplicity
    3) publish the application, create user and define the subsetting variable
    4) set up mobile client and synchronise user. use the msql utility to interrogate the database and check the content, and do some updates 9standards SQL syntax)
    5) create simple appliaction code to conect to and read the database on the client
    6) do a sync after the updates above and check they appear in the server
    The above should be reasonably quick and proves
    a) ability to define the data you want to be sent to the users
    b) ability to create an app to manage the database running on the client device in you preferred software platform
    c) data download and upload
    after this basic POC, you can extend into defining fast refreshes to improve the efficiency of the sync process, managing the MGP process, developing a more comprehensive database and application etc. If you have complex joins between server table, you may also want to look at creating views to denormalise data and use these as the basis for the snapshots

  • Crs installation problem in oracle 10g rac with NAS storage

    Hi,
    for my practice i am trying to install oracle 10gR2 on RHEL5-64bit OS in my laptop.
    during my crs installation i have struckup with the below error while i am executing root.sh in node1.
    Error:
    +++++
    Setting the permissions on OCR backup directory
    Setting up NS directories
    PROT-1: Failed to initialize ocrconfig

    As per metalink i have find that this problem is fixed with Patch:4679769
    # Patch Installation Instructions:
    # To apply the patch, unzip the PSE container file:
    # p4679769_10201_LINUX.zip
    # Set your current directory to the directory where the patch
    # is located:
    # % cd 4679769
    # Copy the clsfmt.bin binary to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory where
    # clsfmt is being run:

    # % cp clsfmt.bin $ORACLE_HOME/bin/clsfmt.bin
    # Ensure permissions on the clsfmt.bin binary are correct:
    # % chmod 755 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/clsfmt.bin
    3. Run the root.sh script and proceed with the installation.
    **My question is still i am not install Database ..only i ma trying to install crs but in this readme .txt we need to replace the clsfmt.bin file in ORACLE_HOME/bin.**
    **but i have not bin directory under in ORACLE_HOME.please clear my doupt to apply this patch...**

    Mugunth

    Also you clusterware installation installs to an ORACLE_HOME.
    Oracle does only make a differentiation, if it has to be clear, that you got a clusterware home and a database home.
    Normally if a patch is referring to $ORACLE_HOME (and the patch can be used for clusterware & database), it just means the installation directory of the oracle software installed.

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC with ASM with asm_preferred_read_failure_group

    Hello DBAs,
    I apologize first if this question has been posted somewhere.
    I have a two nodes cluster so essentially, I have 2 ASM instances (ASM1 & ASM2). It seems like both instances share the same ASM spfile.
    +ASM1> show parameter spfile;
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    spfile string +OCRDG/clone-cluster/asmparame
    terfile/registry.253.759424467
    =====================================
    +ASM2> show parameter spfile;
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    spfile string +OCRDG/clone-cluster/asmparame
    terfile/registry.253.759424467
    The Oracle docs says that you can configure asm_preferred_read_failure_group for each instance so when I logged in instance 1, I ran the command:
    +ASM1> alter system set asm_preferred_read_failure_groups='DATA.FG1', 'DATA.FG2';
    then it showed DATA.FG1 is primary and DATA.FG2 is secondary but this also shows on instance 2 because it uses the same spfile.
    How can I make instance 1 uses DATA.FG1 for primary and instance 2 uses DATA.FG2 for primary. I have separate GRID home for each node.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    thanks,
    TD

    How can I make instance 1 uses DATA.FG1 for primary and instance 2 uses DATA.FG2 for primary. I have separate GRID home for each node.
    Any help is much appreciated.Normally we can give different values for each instance, But i never tried in ASM.
    Here is example
    SQL> alter system set  asm_preferred_read_failure_groups='DATA.FG1' sid='ASM1';
    SQL> alter system set  asm_preferred_read_failure_groups='DATA.FG2' sid='ASM2';So DATA.FG1 will be allocated to ASM1, DATA.FG2 will be allocated to ASM2.
    Now check from ASM1
    SQL> show parameter asm_preferred_read_failure_group
    & from ASM2
    SQL> show parameter asm_preferred_read_failure_group
    HTH.

  • RAC with ASM

    Hi,
    We will be implementing oracle 10g RAC with ASM.
    Just wondering how many production systems are running on ASM.
    Are there any known issues with ASM for performance and maintaince.
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Check more information about the difference between OCFS and ASM in metalink doc
    Automatic Storage Management (ASM) and Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS) in Oracle10g
    Doc ID: Note:255359.1
    ASM provides many advantages over pure raw device, I believe it's fairly standard to use ASM together with RAC in 10g. And perhaps some files on OCFS2 that ASM doesn't handle.

  • AIX OS patch intsalltion on Oracle 10G RAC

    My AIX admin is going to install AIX OS ptach on oracle 10g RAC ( with ASM) ( for AIX bug fixiting)
    It is two node cluster.
    I would like to know what are the steps DBA to consider before applying the OS patch
    Please post any link or dcoument
    In single database instance , I know the steps
    1. backup the database
    2. shutdowm database and listener
    3. shutdown ASM
    apply oS patch
    after OS patch
    start ASM

  • Oracle database 10g RAC and ASm installation

    Hi all,
    I want to ask to everybody something about Oracle 10g RAC and ASm configuration. We plan to migrate to Oracle 10g from 9i, and we will begin configuring oracle but we have to decide which configuration are the best.
    Our materials are bellow:
    Hardware: RP 3440 (HP)
    OS : HPUX 11i Ver 1
    Storage: EVA 4000 (eva disk group)
    The problem is:
    Our supplier recommand us to use HP serviguard + HP serviceguard extension for RAC+ RAc and Raw device as configuration.
    But we want to use Oracekl Clusterware + RAC + ASM
    My question is if anybody know what is the best configuration, we want to use ASm.
    Can we use HP serviguard and ASM.
    Some documentations or link explain oracle RAC and ASM configuration will be appreciate.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards.
