Grid Infrastructure for Win32

hi,
I was downloading Oracle 11g R2 SW from official site for Win32...I did not see "Grid Infrastructure" for win32...what is the reason...how is the ASM installed for Oracle 11g R2 on Win32....
thanx

In previous releases, Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) was installed as part of the Oracle Database installation. With Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2), Automatic Storage Management is part of an Oracle grid infrastructure installation, either for a cluster, or for a standalone server.
If you want to upgrade an existing Automatic Storage Management installation, then you must upgrade Automatic Storage Management by running an Oracle grid infrastructure upgrade. If you do not have Automatic Storage Management installed and you want to use Automatic Storage Management as your storage option, then you must complete an Oracle grid infrastructure installation before you start your Oracle Database installation.

  • Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server

    As I understand and as the following doc indicated, to install Oracle database, I'd have to install Grid Infrastructure first. I am not configuring RAC/cluster, only on a standalone server.
    I executed runinstaller, and choose " install the software only", then after I selected "configure oralce grid infrastructure for a standalone server", I am getting the following error:
    [INS-40410] The installer has detected a configured instance of Oracle Grid Infrastructure software on the system
    Please advice how this instance have been configured, and how to remove it before I can proceed?
    Thanks!

  • Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server or Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster?

    Hi,
    I want to install a single instance database and I want to use ASM.
    Now my configuration is only one node but in the future probably it scale on multiple node.
    So, can I use Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster for only one node or I must use Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server?
    Regards

    If you plan later ro use more than one server, than install the cluster grid infrastructure. It is possible to install on one server.

  • Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server download

    Hi there,
    I am trying to install Oracle 11g but it says if I want to use ASM and oracle Restart then I must intsall Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server.
    I am doing this installation on my home pc running Windows 7 to make sure it work, however, I downloaded Database 11g Enterprise/Standard Editions but i cannot find any download for Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server.
    Can anyone please help as i am confused here??
    I even went to the /stage directory of my 11g download and there is no folder called cluster or grid or anything.
    Thanks in advance!!

    When you go to OTN to download the software, click on the "See All" link next to the platform you are downloading and you'll see the links for GRID.
    However, you do not need to install GRID if you don't plan on using ASM and Restart.

  • Install a grid infrastructure for a cluster for single node Windows Server

    Hello,
    Can you suggest me how to install a Oracle Single Node RAC 11g on a Windows Server 2008 x64 bits? It's for testing purposes and I don't need two nodes. I know that Linux is better, but my company only uses Windows servers. Our former consultant was able to do it, but didn't tell us how to and that server was lost.
    I know that we have to install first Grid Infrastructure. Running the "Oracle Grid Infrastructure" installer, I could successfully install a "Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server". But that grid is not for a RAC database. When trying to install the Database software, it allowed to me to only install "Single instance database", not "Real Application Cluster database installation".
    Running the "Oracle Grid Infrastructure" installer, I tried to select option:
    "Install and Configure Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster" -> Typical Installation:
    SCAN Name: SRVORAC-cluster
    Validating SCAN information
    INS-40922 Invalid SCAN Name - unresolvable to IP address.
    Is it possible to install a grid infrastructure for a cluster for a single-node or one-node Windows Server ?

    HI,
    You probably have misconception about Single node RAC. This feature does not need that you have only one physical machine in a RAC, it actually means that in a RAC environment (2 or more nodes), you can run your database on only one node(single instance) and then later you can move this single instance to any other node of the RAC (so that you can do some patching on this node making your database available all the time). This also has some other benefits, see bellow.

  • How to install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalond server

    Hi Experts,
    we do not want to install ASM. under this condition, does any expert install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server in Linux 5 at file system?
    Please share tip and experiences of installed oracle 11gR2 as single instance include install oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server in Linux 5. no one node RAC configuration.
    If we do not install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure for standalone server . which function will be lost? restat server only?
    Thanks
    Jim

    Grid Infrastructure automatically uses Oracle Restart as default if you're installing Standalone. You can turn this off using crsctl ('disable has', I believe).
    According to the inference in the install docs (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16763/oraclerestart.htm#CIHCBGCC), you can install 11gR2 without Grid Infrastructure, but you lose ASM and Restart.

  • Installation Grid Infrastructure for RAC using UDEV fail

    Hi experts,
    I want to install RAC for testing using UDEV, VirtualBox and Linux 5.8 64 bit.
    I fail at installation Grid Infrastructure(ASM). At the Step 5 of 9 - Create ASM Disk Group, the installer don't display any disk to create ASM diskgroup.
    I think UDEV have been configed correctly. The following are the UDEV configuration:
    "/etc/scsi_id.config"
    vendor="ATA",options=-p 0x80
    options=-g"/etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules"
    KERNEL=="sd?1", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/$parent", RESULT=="SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBb1141d78-3196a201_", NAME="asm-disk1", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"

    brw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 8, 33 Mar 30 21:44 /dev/asm-disk2Any sugestion for me? Please help...
    Thanks and best regards,
    Hai Mai.

    Try this one.
    1. Find the WWID of the disk
    # /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sdb
    SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_ Here we got an WWID of 'SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_'.
    2. Create an custom UDEV rule
    Create a new rule under /etc/udev/rules.d/, for example, /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle.rules.
    Ensure the file name lists after the default 50-xxx.rules file. The filename must end in ".rules" to be recognized.
    KERNEL=="sd*1", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%P", RESULT=="SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"

    KERNEL=="sd*3", BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/%P", RESULT=="SATA_VBOX_HARDDISK_VBbb8af1a8-4d4db09b_", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw3 %N"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="raw*", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="0664"The RESULT filed was the WWID of your hard disk found in step 1.
    Please also subsititue the value of 'OWNER', 'GROUP', and 'MODE' to your actual one.
    3. Restart the UDEV service
    # /sbin/start_udev And then, you are free to use /dev/raw/raw1, /dev/raw/raw2, and /dev/raw/raw3 as your RAC OCR and Voting Devices.
    Thanks,

    Select the media pack for your version of oracle. When you drill down there will be several zip files for download. the first two are for the database, the third is ASM/GI

  • Grid Infrastructure installable for Oracle Restart only (No ASM)?

    Hello,
    Can Oracle Grid Infrastructure be installed for its Oracle Restart functionality only? i.e., No ASM,; this box uses local RAID 5 filesystems only.
    This is a standalone 32-bit RHEL 5 system with Oracle Database 10gR2 already installed that I intend to upgrade to 11gR2. Just experimenting with installing Grid Infrastructure for only its restart capability. There isn't anything out there I've found that addresses this other than the Oracle doc stating that the Infrastructure must be installed if I want to use ASM or Oracle Restart.
    I'm currently in the installer in a Software Only installation waiting for my SysAdmin to run the root.sh script, but in looking at this script, it looks like it might try to do things with CRS, voting files and the like, which do not exist.
    Thank you!
    -Jon

    Hi Erik,
    Can Oracle Grid Infrastructure be installed for its Oracle Restart functionality only? Yes ... you can do that installing Software Only
    I'm currently in the installer in a Software Only installation waiting for my SysAdmin to run the root.sh script, but in looking at this script, it looks like it might try to do things with CRS, voting files and the like, which do not exist.Don't worry about that ... at the end of the execution of the root.sh script will report a proceedings to configure only Oracle Restart.
    Only this resource "ora.evmd" will appear online.

  • Oracle documentation for Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure

    Hi
    I want to install 11g Release 2 "Oracle Grid Infrastrucure" on Aix system without Cluster/RAC option. The requirement is to configure ASM on an Standalone system without any Cluster and RAC. Is there any documentation available for this installation.
    I have already checked the below link which provide information on Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10814/toc.htm
    Please let know if there is any documentation for Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone system.

    Hi there. Well, the installation of Grid Infrastructure would ask you that what kind of installation you want to do, single instance or cluster? If you would choose single instance installation, it would not be much different from doing any other oracle installation. The key factor to do it and why its mandatory is because from 11.2 onwards, ASM can't be managed from DBCA but from its own tool only, ASMCA and that runs from Grid Home. So I don't think that not finding the docs should be a show stopper for you. I haven't done it on AIX so I am not sure that I can be of some help about it. I have done it on OEL 5 and it didn't throw any issues for me.

  • İnstallation grid infrastructure problem for  11G R2 (root.sh failed)

    Hi All, I have a problem about ASM preinstallation.
    firstly, ı wanna install grid infrastructure for ASM but end of grid infrastructure installation when i run root.sh script
    i take the following failed and CRS and CSS didnt set and start.
    LOCAL ADD MODE
    Failure with signal 11 from command: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl pin css -n ora2
    Creation local only OCR  (/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl pin css -n ora2) ... Failed
    after that when i continue installation ı take Oracle Net Configuration Asistant Failed message.
    Configuration of My computer is
    AMD Athlon II X3 440 3.01GHz
    *4G memory.*
    and we are working on VMware linux redhat 5. All installation -except this config- was successful.
    Are there anyone about this problem and solution..
    Thanks all.

    Not sure exactly why you are getting that error or what is the meaning of it, but I would suggest installing the ASM instance and maybe at least one datagroup, if you have not already done so, before installing Grid control. This is the sequence which I have followed in the past (with 10G) and it worked flawlessly.
    Hope that helps.

  • RAC - Oracle Grid Infrastructure configure failed

    Hi, am trying to install 2 node RAC on Oracle VMs. Before the installation during the -preinst check there were few issues which were resolved (ex user equivalence). After that during the installation process of the Grid it failed at step "Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster". After it failed at this step, subsequent steps too failed which I asked OUI to ignore and then I ran both the post installation scripts. And then ran post crsinst which failed. Pasting below the output of the root.sh script, post crsinst and other checks.

    for private interconnect use the hostonly option on both the nodes in the network configuration page of the vmware or virtual box..
    and for public network it can be bridged
    more over if you are installing on the laptop its good to configure the SSH using the OUI.. rather than doing it manually.. as it saves time
    the private and the public networks should not have same range of ip address. like if public address are like 192.168.2.222/255.255.255.0 and private address have to be different like 10.10.1.2/255.0.0.0 (this is just an example)
    have to configured the NTP.
    any ways try installing the oracle rac on virtual box follow the steps given the below website they are pretty straight forward...

  • Root.sh problem grid infrastructure 11g

    Hi all,
    I am about to install grid infrastructure 11g (11.2.0.1) on RHEL5.5 64 bit where i use VMware platform which is VMware server 2 on Windows2008 Server. I am pretty sure that i followed the installation instructions but i cannot get rid of the following error which occurs while i am running the root.sh.
    You can also find errors in the oraagent_oracle.log and orarootagent_root.log at the end of the post. There are communication errors at the end of the both log files but they dont give any clue to me or my knowledge is not enough to understand why crs is complaining.
    maybe this is a known issue or somebody can understands what grid infrastructure is angry about. thanks for any effort.

    H,
    in 11.2.0.2 you can simply continue running root.sh, since it uses internal checkpoints.
    11.2.0.1 is a little bit more difficult, since you need to deconfigure the run (rootcrs.pl -deconfig -force) to restart root.sh.
    Then when you did that, see this note for the further steps, how to call the missing assistants:

  • Migrating Standalone Grid Infrastructure Servers to a Cluster 11.2.0.1 Linux 5.9

    Hey guys! Hope you all are doing good
    I am kinda confused migrating my 11.2.0.1 Oracle Restart installation to a RAC two node (aim is to add a second node along with migrating the existing one to the cluster pool).
    Running on OEL 5.9 x86_64
    I see that we can switch the RAC mode from 'off' to 'on' and use the existing clusterware binaries. I am trying to follow the below Oracle documentation for linux
    6.2 Migrating Standalone Grid Infrastructure Servers to a Cluster
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e41961/rem_orcl.htm#CWLIN347
    In this document, I have completed step 5 which is de-configuring Oracle Restart. All smooth.
    The problem starts here. Next step 6 says
    Prepare the server for Oracle Clusterware configuration, as described in this document. In addition, choose if you want to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster in the same location as Oracle Restart, or in a different location:
    You would have noticed that there's a note which says that the process uses config wizard which is available with rel 11.2.0.2 or later. Mine's 11.2.0.1.
    From the doc
    Note:
    This procedure uses Oracle Clusterware Configuration Wizard, available with release 11.2.0.2 and later.
    So how do I proceed from here? Can the existing binaries be used? If yes, how? Can't find much information. Thanks for your valuable time.
    I hope I am not missing anything..
    Warm Regards
    Abhishek

    Hello,
    Then why to they say for example here the following:
    The Oracle GSD (Global Service Daemon) process, ora.gsd, is typically offline. You must enable Oracle GSD manually if you plan to use an Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters database on the Oracle Clusterware 11g release 2 (11.2) cluster.
