How to install a database on a MS Windows 2008 R2 failover cluster?

Hello,
I have to install a Oracle 11g R2 database onto a MS cluster (Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster with 2 nodes and shared storage). I installed the DBMS on both nodes. On the first node, I created a tablespace, the files are on the shared storage. I can connect to that database, up to here everything is fine.
But the problem is: How do I have to configure the DBMS on the second node to use the existing database files in the case when the second node gets the Cluster IP and the shared storage? The switchover is done, all database files (in the filesystem) can be seen on the second node.
The goal is to connect to the database from an external application, regardless which node is active.
I know the "Oracle Fail Safe Manager", it is already installed on both nodes.
A link to the related documentation would be helpful, I can't find anything.
Best regards,
C. Jost

Hello,
But the problem is: How do I have to configure the DBMS on the second node to use the existing database files in the case when the second node gets the >Cluster IP and the shared storage? The switchover is done, all database files (in the filesystem) can be seen on the second node.When you switch the database from one node to another one do you have any error ?
Can you connect to the database and check for the Tablespaces ?
Normally, with OFS you define Groups. In one Group you'll have the Database, the Disk, the IP address and the Listener. So when you move the Group from one node to another one, the disk will be recognized on the second node then, the database, listener, ... will start and, there's no reason to loose a datafile.
Please, find enclosed, an introduction to Oracle Fail Safe concept:

Hope this help.

  • How to test node failover in Windows 2008 R2 Failover Cluster?

    Can anyone give me advice on how to properly test a node failure with a 2 mode Failover Cluster in Windows 2008 R2?

    To test the failover of a clustered service or application         
    In the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in, if the cluster that you want to configure is not displayed, in the console tree, right-click
    Failover Cluster Manager, click Manage a Cluster, and then select or specify the cluster that you want.
    If the console tree is collapsed, expand the tree under the cluster that you want to configure.
    Expand Services and Applications, and then click the service or application for which you want to test failover.
    Under Actions (on the right), click Move this service or application to another node.
    As the service or application moves, the status is displayed in the results pane (center pane).
    Optionally, repeat step 4 to move the service or application to an additional node or back to the original node.

  • How to install DB6(DB2 for LUW) on a windows 2008 R2 failover cluster NodeB

    Hi Gurus,
    I am building a ECC6 EhP4 cluster on windows 2008 R2, I am following the installation guide chapter 7(document name: Installation guide SAP ERP6.0 EhP4 Ready SR1 ABAP on windows: IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix and Windows). But the step listed in the guide are not so clear and I have trouble for the database installation on the second node.
    What I have done is:
    1. 7.4.1 Preparing the database for MSCS step1 and 3
    2. 7.4.2 Windows Server 2008: Creating the sap services and application
    3. 7.4.3 Installing the central services Instance for ABAP (ASCS)
    4. 7.4.4 Configuring the first MSCS node
    5. 7.4.5 Installing the database instance on an mscs node(as i have done 7.4.1, i got some error in this step, then i checked some note and in note 1493410, it mentioned don't do step 7.4.1, so I uninstall the DB2, and get this step finished)
    6. 7.4.6 Configuring the database for MSCS
    7. 7.4.7 Configuring the Additional MSCS Node
    8. 7.4.8 Installing an Enqueue Replicaiton Sever
    9. 7.4.9 Installing the central instance
    10. 7.4.10 Installing the dialog instance
    Now I got problem on the database group, I cannot fail this to the second node. the DB2 Server resource cannot bring online to the second node. I think step 1, 4 and 5 may has some issue, but I don't know how should I install this database.
    note 1493410's word confusing me, below is part of that note:
    Chapter "Preparing the Database for MSCS"
    You must not apply this chapter at the beginning of the installation. Instead, start the installation process with the next chapter "Configuring the First MSCS Node"
    Follow the instructions in chapter "Preparing the Database for MSCS" in the exit step described in the chapter "Installing the Database Instance on an MSCS Node" before executing the db2mscs tool on the additional MSCS node only.
    Point "3. Install all required operating system users ..." of this chapter is obsolete.
    Anyone think my cluster still have chance to be fixed or I need rebuild it from scratch again. If I need build it again, I still don't know how to do the database installation on the second node

    Hi pal,
    Have you identified Ips and group  names on which your sap application and DB should run..
    I will give a overview...
    Exam ples -
    NODE A                  - 192.168.x.1
    NODE B                   - 192.168.x.2 are the one which you idetify physical systems
    1) Identify the drives you want to map for application and DB and make a partation and name the drives
    2) Initially  create Microsoft cluster service which creats cluster group----
    CLUSTER GROUP   - 192.168.x.3 - Cluster name could be any thing meaningful...
    Quorum  disk          - 192.168.x.4 - 1 Gb drive
    In point 2 if you are creating Cluster service with Heart ips you will naother ips for NODE A and NODE B ( 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2)
    3) Test and validate cluster configuration and ensure no erros are reflected
    Above activities can be done with the help of OS Admin....
    Now start working with SAP installation, even before that identify 2 names and ip address for SAP installation
    Application group name can be as follows  --
    APPLPRD - 192.168.-x..5
    Database group name can be as follows -
    DBPRD - 192.168.x.6
    You when you identify above drives for file systems and groups , you can start installation as mentioned in th guide...
    Also let us know if you atrying to install EHP4  or EHP4.. as there some corrections to be followed in EHP4..
    Open a new thread if you facing futher issues...
    thanks,

  • How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?

    :How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?Y Two days ago I bought a Soundblaster Audigy SE-retail soundcard. I have a dual boot PC with Windows XP-SP3 and Windows 7 RC. The installation of the soundcard?in Windows XP was easy, no problems, good sound.
    But how to install in Windows 7 RC ?
    I have the installation and applications CD with XP and Vista drivers and I have the driver-download from Creative.com SB24PCDRV LB 0 - 04 - 0090.
    Windows 7 tells me "No device for audio output is installed". Windows automaticly?installed a driver, but that doesn't work. (code 39). The driver download from?creative does not install new drivers and when I try it manually Windows tells me "The best driver is already installed"
    When I uninstall?the driver that Windows installed and try to install the downloaded?creative driver for Windows 7, the driver will not install, and Windows message is something like "?no audio device is installed on this computer"
    What to do ? A computer without sound is nothing...
    Thanks,
    Arie

    >Re: How to install The Soundblaster Audigy SE in Windows 7 RC?% Meocene is 00% on the money. Dan K.'s pack is the best. I have used the pack on four different systems with AUDIGY LS and SE cards that I bought cheaply (all four on Ebay for $40). The package has worked under XP, Vista, and Windows 7 very well.
    I have friends that play Left4Dead and they have been immensely pleased when playing the games in their flats with or without headphones, as compared to their old "onboard RE--t-k" sound.
    The package also works well on a Gateway or HP machine when disabling onboard audio first then installing the Audigy and installing drivers and apps for the first time. Gi've up on using your old CDs, you will only run into a mountain of trouble trying to "Auto-Update" all that with the newest patches.

    Thanks

    No version of Forms/Reports is currently supported on Windows 8. Also, because Error Correction support for versions older than 11 have ended, no new certifications will be provided for those versions. I would recommend you consider upgrading to Forms/Reports 11.1.2.1 as we are hoping for Win8 certifications in the future for this version.

  • How to install 2 oracle homes on singl windows host

    Hi Experts,
    I am planning to install two sap R/3 4.7 ext200 SR1 instances on windows 2003. I already installed DEV instance & planning for QAS.
    I am confused about how to install two ORACLE softwares on single windows host.
    I search on internet there for windows they are pointing to the registry value
    \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Software\Oracle\inst_loc.
    I am not able to understand what I have to do with this ?
    Can you please help me to understand & execute this.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    Sachin,
    Go throuth this link to understand more about Oracle Inventory and Oracle Homes software update.
    http://cs.ifmo.ru/~ad/Documentation/oracle-10g-lib-doc/em.101/b12140/3_oui_oracle_homes.htm#i1005634
    The current entry is picked from the PATH vairable of the system and user that you have logged on. This is because you have already done 1 Oracle Installation on the host.
    Keep in mind that you choose the correct oracle home while installing and in future updating Oracle software (patchset, Interim Pactches...)
    You can give a seperate path for Oracle Inventory. Just go thru to the existing folder of OraInventory in Program files you will understand it better.
    It is used to install and update the Oracle software in the oracle home that you will choose in your next step.
    All the Best,
    Nilesh

    Please stop asking about that on this forum.
    There are plenty of informations on the Internet if you want to do it but nobody here will help, because is against the forum's rules.
    And, you can't buy Mountain Lion if you do not have a Macintosh with at least Snow Leopard installed.
    There is no physical media. Mountain Lion is provided by Apple through the Mac App Store.

    Sources I have is:
    - jdk-6u21-windows-x64.exe
    - ogs-3.1.2.2-windows.exe.
    - I created folder in c: call "java".
    - setup jdk-6u21-windows-x64.exe in (C:\java).
    - You may need to set JAVA_HOME in Environment variables with new java home (e.g C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_21) and you can add this in the Path variables:
    C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_21;C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_21/bin;C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\jre;C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\jre\bin
    - Double click on ogs-3.1.2.2-windows.exe and start setup glassfish server (I choosed Custom Installation --> Install and Configure).
    - After installation you may need to set java path in C:\glassfish3\glassfish\config\asenv.bat
    by adding this line set AS_JAVA=C:\java\jdk1.6.0_21
    and add in C:\glassfish3\glassfish\config\asenv.conf  this line:
