How many database will play in this role.
Best,

hello
I was going through your post and i am also doing the same thing here at our organisation for Oracle 10g R2
Can you pls send me any docs u r having for configuration of Oracle in windows clusters .
And, can you pls elaborate on this point
e)Create Oracle Service with the same name in the 2nd node and copy all the files like spfile,tnsnames.ora,listener.ora,password file to Node2.

Active-Passive Failover cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi,
As per the client requirements, I build an active-passive Oracle 11g R2 database cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2.
(Used Microsoft cluster as Client don't have Fail Safe licence)
As per the configuration, I follow the below mentioned steps:
a)OS vendor configured Active-Passive Windows Cluster
b)Installed Oracle 11g R2 on both the nodes with same ORACLE_HOME name
c)Create Listener and configured it with cluster IP in Node1
d)Create Database from Node1. Physical files location are all in Storage
e)Create Oracle Service with the same name in the 2nd node and copy all the files like spfile,tnsnames.ora,listener.ora,password file to Node2
f)Configure Listener with the same Oracle SID.
g)Test database failover from Node2 with Listener registration
h)Open the Windows Failover Manager to configure the Oracle Database and Listener Service in the Cluster Group
Now I am facing problem by moving Cluster Group movement. Whenever trying to moving the group, Listerner service is not getting up by Cluster Manager as quorum is not included in the group and that quorum disk is not moving in the failover node with the Oracle Cluster Group. As per my understanding Quorum having information of Cluster IP which has been configured with Listener.
But when I am shutdown one node, then in the other node all the resources successfully moving and cluster able to online all the resources. I guess at that time Quorum is also moving and thus cluster can able to make Listener online.
Please suggest how to resolve this issue. Means how can I make Listener up instead having any dependencies with Quorum in the fail over node?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Installing Oracle 10g on Windows 2008 SP2 64bits

Hello,
I downloaded this version: 10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_db. The setup starts fine, I set the location for the Oracle Home directory to (C: \oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1), click next, the setup continue and then stop with the following message: "the name Oracle home directory is invalid. Oracle home directory can not exceed 128 characters ....>> (translate from french)
Other info:
- I set the local administrator account on the machine
- I downloaded twice the archive (I thought it was corrupt)
- This install was within a VMWare VM, I tried on a physical W2K8 server and same message popup
- The latest Windows update are installed on the server
- I searched on Google but people who have encountered this problem had indeed spaces or invalid characters in the path.
I really don't what I did wrong.
Thank you for your help.
Chris

The setup starts fine, I set the location for the Oracle Home directory to (C: \oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1), Create this directory manually, and try using the browse button on the installer in order to select this directly.

Configuring Active-Passive cluster for Oracle Database on Red hat

Can I configure the red hat cluster suite to implement an Active-Passive Oracle Service without configuring GFS Volume manager?
In other words, I want to install Oracle Standard Edition for Red hat on 2 node separately. Subsequently I am creating an Oracle Instance on the firsth node whith Oracle datafile, redologfile, controlfile,initfile on a SAN Storage. Subsequently I want to configure red hat cluster suite to start the Oracle Instance on the second node when the the firsth node fail. Only one node at time have the Oracle Instance up. Does this configuration works correctly or I have to install and configure any software to manage shared storage file system(like GFS Volume Manager or OCFS, ASM ecc.)?
Thanks

This scenario is usually done through custom scripts.
To get an idea of what is required, I recommend you look through Oracle's DataGuard documentation, as Data Guard is a free utility included in the Enterprise Edition to do exactly what you want.
(Having spent a lot less money to buy the less expensive product, you now have the opportunity to spend more in programmer and maintenance costs to create your own solution.)

Active passive UTM cluster

Hi all,
I got myself a nice problem
I have two ESXi 5.5 host, each server runs a guest Sophos UTM9, these are used as gateway/firewall in active/passive mode. Each server has one physical NIC for this LAN traffic. Connected on a dvSwitch.
They active/passive is working fine, when one goes down the other takes over and vice versa. But, I noticed that one of my ESXi servers had some problems. It has DNS issues and couldn't ping the Gateway. I did check all settings and all turns out to be fine. Strange thing was that after a reboot I can ping the gateway for a minute or two and after these minutes the gateway becomes unavailable on one ESXi server. On the other ESXi server there are no problems and the gateway is responding. Checking for differences between the two ESXi server gave no result, checking the UTM gateway and again nothing to detect.
Then it struck me , after the reboot the second (passive) UTM Gateway comes online in 1 or 2 minutes and on that moment problems start. The problems are on the ESXi server with the passive UTM.
I suspect that the ESXi servers sees the (passive) UTM gateway on the servers internal network card and instead of sending the traffic over the switch to the ESXi server with the active UTM it keeps the traffic local resulting in PING and DNS failures.
It seems to me that this is a active/passive problem and I have to tell the ESXi host with the passive gateway to forward the traffic to the other server, for incoming and outgoing traffic. I been thinking of LACP configuration, getting the dvSwitch ports of the two physical server seen as one. But, untill now I'm not getting the desired result. Can anyone help me on getting this active/passive gateway cluster working?

Hi,
You talk about windows cluster, is this the correct structure that you want.
If you are looking to a Oracle Database active - passive structure. Lets say Oracle Dataguard than the primary database is operational on server 1 and de standby is in recover mode (passive) on server 2. For more info on Dataguard "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25608/toc.htm"

Oracle 11GR2 on windows 2008 Geo-Dispersed cluster

Hi all,
anyone can guide me about the installing oracle 11GR2 on windows 2008 Geo-dispersed cluster environment? Please guide and provide documentation if possible,
thanks

By "geo-dispersed", do you mean a cluster with servers is physically remote locations ? If so, the install process does not care about how far apart the servers are physically. Follow the standard install doc at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/toc.htm

There will be a new version of the Standalone CHM/OS for Windows that will work with 11.2.0.2 and earlier versions available on OTN in the near future. The older version that you are using has not been tested and due to the infrastructure changes in 11.2 it is not expected it will work. The integrated CHM/OS that is included as part of the 11.2.0.3 GI installation does work as does the new GUI (CHMOSG) now available for download.

How to configure IPS 4240 - K9 to send log file to syslog server

I am looking for the commands in how to configure IPS 4240-k9 to send log file to SYSLOG server. If anybody has or came across similer issue please advice.
Thanks in advanced.

Ali -
I am sorry to tell you, but the Cisco IPS Sensors do not send Syslog messages. Your only options for sending signature event information are:
SDEE (an TLS Encrypted XML formatted message) the sensor is the SDEE Host and your event receiver (MARS, IME, Intelitactics, etc) is the client.
SNMP Traps - You need to set the "Action" on each signature you want the sensor to send a trap.

Sql 2008 r2 cluster side by side with sql 2012 cluster on Windows 2008 R2

We have a SQL 2008R2 active/passive SQL cluster running on Windows 2008 R2 cluster.
I would like to add a SQL 2012 clustered instance to the same Winows 2008 R2 cluster.
Are there any issues involved having a SQL 2008 R2 clustered instance running side by side with a SQL 2012 instance in same Windows 2008 R2 cluster?
Are there any pitfalls/"gotchas" to watch for with SQL 2012 cluster install?
Thank you so much!

Hello,
Two instances, one SQL Server 2008 and the other SQL Server 2012, side-by-side, is fully supported.
I would like to recommend you to assign a different port (not port 1433) to the non-default instance
to avoid an IP address conflict between both instances.
Hope this helps.

How to activate Windows 8.1 on a Windows 2008 R2 KMS server when I don't have Windows 2012 R2 kms host key

I only have windows 8.1 kms host key but I can't add a client OS kms key to Windows 2008 R2 kms server. And I don't have Windows 2012 R2 license either. Is there any way I can activate Windows 8.1 using my existing kms server? Thanks.

I would like a yes no clarification answer. So does this mean that EVEN WITH THE PATCH. My Server 2012 Standard edition that currently hosts KMS VA for clients running Win7, Win 8, Office15, Server 2008, Server 2012. Will not be able to host windows 8.1?
I will have to install 8.1 and use as a host?
if you have a KMShost product key for WS2012R2, you can patch a down=level Server and be fine.
(the OP didn't renew SA or otherwise has no KMShost pkey for WS2012R2)

I'm having similar issues and have a similar question that doesn't seem to be answered:
My KMS server is Windows 2008 R2 (Also is my domain controller). I want to activate Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 machines off this KMS server. I can install the 2012 R2 key just fine but receive error 0xC004F015 (The Software Licensing Service reported
that the license is not installed) when I try to install my 8.1 KMS key.
What I'm gathering from this thread is that I have to set up a Windows 8.1 host and set it up to be a KMS server exclusively for activating Windows 8.1. Is this correct? If so, Microsoft needs to fix that. I have a SERVER for activations for a reason: it
is a server, not a client. If I am mis-understanding, how do I get my Windows 2008 R2 server to accept the Windows 8.1 KMS key for activating 8.1 clients?
Thanks!
You don't need Windows 8.1 KMS key. Your 2012 R2 KMS key will be able to activate your Windows 8.1 machines. So your current set up is fine, no need to set up another Windows 8.1 KMS host.
My problem is I don't have 2012 R2 KMS key as I didn't buy any Windows 2012 R2 license. So I can't use 2012 R2 KMS key to activate my Windows 8.1.
Oh that's interesting. I guess I need to play around more because my 8.1 test machine isn't activating. I'll start a new thread for that if needed. Sorry for the confusion.

Oracle 11 under Windows 2008 installation problems

I cannot make Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 work under Windows 2008. The server's host name is SARABI. Anything of the following takes place on SARABI, no remote access is involved.
The procedure has been as follows...
- Windows 2008 was installed
- Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 was installed
- listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora were modified
- no other Oracle configuration file was touched
At this point it worked. I could connect with SQL Plus and with SQL Developer.
Next the server was rebooted. Without having changed anything at all, connecting was impossible. The message is "12514, TNS, listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor". The three configuration files are given below.
Currently, all services are running accoording to Windows Control Panel. There are no entries in the eventlog. Executing "TNSPING SARABI" works fine. Executing "LSNRCTL status" shows "The listener does not support any services" (translated from German "Der Listener unterstützt keine Services"), the full output is given below.
