How to install DG4DRA in grid infrastructure env 2 node rac

Hi All,
is there any MOS note regarding installation of Oracle Transparent Gateways for DRDA in a grid infrastructure environment (2 node rac)
other than the note below?
How to Set up DG4MSQL, DG4DRDA, DG4IFMX, DG4SYBS or DG4Tera in a RAC Environment (Doc ID 421981.1)
I mean, it seems that the note does note provide specific instructions for rac env in GI (scan listener, default listener configuration, tns connect string to drda via scan, etc...).
Thank you,
Regards.
Domenico.

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.

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

11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC install as separate users (RH 5)

We are about to set up a few new RH 5 clusters and are trying to make a decision if we should install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC as the same user (oracle) or as separate users (grid and oracle) as per Oracle documentation.
I would like to know what other people are doing and their experiences with this.
Here are some concerns that we have:
1) Does Oracle support has an 11gR2 cluster environment where grid infrastructure and oracle database are installed as separate users ? I have been to a few Oracle 11gR2 demos and they always have a simple install where everything is installed as a single user.
2) Potential permission issues that we might hit iif we use separate users, for example
- grid control agent - which user do we install it as and will it be able to access both grid and oracle files ?
- database listener will run as grid user. Is this going to cause any permission issues ?
Thanks in advance for your answers

It is all dependent on your business whether your business needs to separate between privileged user for storage administrator (ASM) or database level. It is recommended to have user separation but not mandatory.
see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17212/toc.htm for the details
permission issues might happen if the configuration is not correct. for example you might see ORA-12537 when configuring the system
Hope this helps

How to install Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 Rac Database on Grid Infrastructure 12.1.0.2.0 (Windows 2012 R2)

Hi all.
This is the scenario:
I have a 2 node cluster Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 x86_64, the nodes are part of domain.
Installed Oracle 12cR1 (12.1.0.2.0) as follows:
Installation done using domain administrator named "installoracle" that has been EXPLICIT promoted to local administrator in both nodes.
One domain user named "oracle12c" with no administrator privileges neither in the domain or nodes.
Installation, after a lot of customization in the OS of the nodes, has gone ok, perfect indeed, not even a warning during runinstaller execution.
All services and resources are up & running, I have rebooted nodes and all comes back ok in place. In windows services I can see some services started with "oracle12c" user, and all windows groups: DBA, SYSKM, etc, has been created.
Now I have to install Oracle RAC database in 11gR2 version (11.2.0.4.0) to accomplish with application requirements.
So, I execute runInstaller (setup.exe) logged as administrator via domain administrator "installoracle" (the one that was able to do the smooth 12c GI installation) and the gui comes with out problems, but at 4th screen the one in which you have to choose what kind of installation you want to do (Single, RAC or RoN) I select RAC option, the gui returns error: crs is not running in the local node...
Finally, in order to deliver some database 11.2.0.4.0 for my customer, I try to do installation of SW for Single Node, I did using "installoracle". The sw has been installed in one of the nodes. Then I have created a database and I have stored datafiles in ASM (this ASM is part of 12c clusterware) and also register the 11gR2 single instance database in the Grid Infrastructure listener
So, whats next??? Why is this behavior??? I did similar installations in Linux/Solaris with no issue (well as everyone can imagine, always there are some issues, but when solved you got GI in 12c and databases in the release that you want 12c, 11g, 10g...)
Any clue?
Thanks in advance!!
Best Regards!!

To go back to old version (without changing compatible parameter), you can perform downgrade.
Instructions are available at
How to Downgrade from Database 11.2 to Previous Release (Includes 11.2.0.4 - 11.2.0.1) (Doc ID 883335.1)
In this case you will having all the data file including the new one.
But remember database may not be in the same status as before (Before upgrade). it may have invalid objects of higher version after downgrade.
Downgrade is applicable only to successfully upgraded databases. In case upgrade faced some issue, do not try downgrade there.
Your second approach it not correct. Note that each datafile header will have db version. We can not open database in normal mode when header version and binary versions are different.

Which listener should be used in a standalone grid infrastructure env?

gurus:
I installed a 11.2.0.2 standalone grid infrastructure on a linux box and created a database manually. I then used netca to create my listener which created 2 listener files:
a. under my DB home:
aml6:/u00/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin > cat listener.ora
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /u00/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER_ETL =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = aml6.lynk.lynksystems.com)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_ETL = /u00/app/oracle
b. under my grid home:
aml6:/u00/app/11.2.0/grid/network/admin > cat listener.ora
LISTENER_ETL=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER_ETL)))) # line added by Agent
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER_ETL=ON # line added by Agent
I observed that the one under my DB home was the one that really got used when I tried to logon to a database.
Here are my questions:
1. what is the use for the listener under my DB home?
2. what is the use for the listener under my grid home?
3. the grid infrastructure document says that the default home for listener and tnsnames files are grid home, however, it seemed that I have to use the listener under my db home directory.
4. which listener is the ASM instance use?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks Levi and Sebastian.
We have separate listeners in DB homes for Stand Alone grids.
Cluster Grids have got the listeners (SCAN..etc) running out of Grid Home. Still, we have exceptions for the Cluster grid for EBS databases where SCAN is not supported yet and still have a separate listeners for the databases.
This OTN doc also describes a listener in the DB home: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/11g/r2/prod/install/gridinstss/gridinstss.htm
Hi Raj,
In this OBE, the author explains why he is setting a new Listener for ASM.
To Configure EM Database Control to manage ASM, perform the following steps:
To manage the ASM instance in Enterprise Manager Database Control. you must configure the ASM Instance as a target.
When you configure the ASM target, you must provide the port for the ASM listener.
The Grid Infrastructure installs a listener by default on port 1521, and configures the ASM instance to use this listener.
In this tutorial the database is already installed and has a listener configured on port 1521, the Grid Infrastructure places a listener on port 1522 and the ASM instance is registered with the grid listener.Before Install Grid Infrastructure he already had a database running with the Listener configured and running.
To ensure that the service of ASM will be registered in the Listener of same release he set a new Listener using GUI HOME.
This procedure is correct because the Grid Infrastructure (ASM) is the highest release (So, it's necessary configure Listener in same release), to not use a Listener with prior to release of the Grid Infrastructure(ASM) he created new Listener.
He also could deconfigure the Listener of Oracle Home (database) and configure in the GUI Home. It's a matter of choice.
Observing requirement of the paragraph below, we can set listener from anywhere there is no restriction, it is a matter of best practices only.
The release of the listener must be the same as or later than the latest release of all Oracle databases being serviced through the listener.Cheers,
Levi Pereira

How to Upgrade to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2

HI
I am experiencing problems to get documentation that is not conflicting. Anyone out there that upgraded from 11.1 to 11.2
Our environment:
4 cluster nodes - 3 ORACLE_HOMES (CRS_HOME, ASM_HOME, DB_HOME).
The new Grid infrastructure creates one home for CRS and ASM.
My problem is that I am trying to do a out-of-place upgrade - using the rolling upgrade method. According to the upgrade manual it is possible.
But I get stuck on the second screen of the Installer, detecting ASM and advises me to shutdown all instances and ASM on node1. Did that, does not work, I am getting the same message INS-40413.
Anyone out there that has got some procedures, or maybe experience about this. I am trying to get advise from Oracle since early November, but did not get any further.
Irene

Execute the below command at OS level and verify from which home is the crsctl utility is being called
which crsctl
Ensure that the above command is being called from the correct home
If the path from which crsctl utility is being called is the correct one, then perform starce on the crsctl command and verify the starce output to check if it truly is using 10g binaries or not
If not, then try unlocking and locking the GI binaries using "rootcrs.pl -unlock" (to unlock) and "rootcrs.pl -patch" (to lock the binaries), once done verify if you are still getting the same issue or not

How to setup Oracle 10g grid on a node other than SERVER

Hi,
We are in a process of moving the database residing on Windows servers to IBM AIX5L servers. For this purpose I came up with an idea of installing database on AIX and operate it remotely on Windows platform using 10g Grid Control and 10g Client. For this to happen perfectly, I am in middle of implementing same concept on Windows platfrom. I have made a test database on a Windows based server and I am trying to connect it with another Window based node. I know hwo to connect it using a client software but I am more interested to do it on Grid Control.
At this stage, I have created database on server and have also configured Oracle Management Agent along with Oracle 10g Grid Control. I read oracle documentation that it is necessary to install Oracle Management Agent on server machine in order to let other nodes get connected with the server.
I would extremely appreciate anyone who could help me in setting up 10g grid control on another node. Please note I wish to operate the database using grid control remotely. For know you can consider both computers on same network, I will go on VPN once I am able to do it on local network.
Looking forward for your reply
Shez

Hi Xaheer,
Thanks for looking into this matter. I had agent and grid running on the server and I have almost installed 10g Grid control 10.2.0.2. The place where I am stuck now is the OMS Configuration script that run after the installation in Configuration Assistant window. It just stuck here for some minutes and then displays the error. Let me paste here the lines in that appears in the detail panel of installation wizard.
Output generated from configuration assistant "OMS Configuration"
Command = oracle.sysman.emcp.oms.OmsPlugIn -configureOms
Operation Stopping OPMN Processes is in progress.
Operation EM Deploying is in progress.
Operation Creating OMS Respository is in progress.
Configuration assistant "OMS Configuration" failed
The "d:\OracleHomes\agent10g\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the oracle installation guide, I had to deconfigure the database before running the setup. I did it using this command,
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
AS far as i think, I am getting this error becouse of sysman schema which was droped during the installation and was recreated( as I read in the oracle installation guide ) is not found by the script. So in order to b ring back sysman schema, I recreated the repository using following commands.
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
Now, the database on server is not starting up. I can just see RED downword error, u know what i mean right ? Everyting is down, Database instance, Listener and Agent Connection to Instance, and on the top pf page I can see " Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance. The state of the components are listed below."
When I try to startup the database using the grid control it gives me this error.
Couldnot contact the agent. Verify that the url for the agent is null.
I am stuck in here. If you know how to fix this agent , i would really appreciate that.
Thanks

Install of OEM Grid Control on 10g RAC

Hi,
I try to install OEM Grid Control 10.1.0.3 on a 10G 10.1.0.2 database with ASM and RAC installed, on windows.
At the step of choosing the product to install, i would like to choose 'OEM GC using an existing database' or 'Additional management service 10.1.0.3', but it fails.
The reason is 'you cannot install OEM on a hardware cluster'.
I have no idea how to resolve that, do i have to change my RAC installation ?
thank you for your answer,
Isabelle

To install on RAC, you install using an existing database and then specify the sid/hostname for ONE instance in the RAC.
Once the management repository has been sucessfully installed and the mid-tier is up, you can edit emoms.properties to modify the JDBC url the application uses to connect to the database to be RAC aware.
The are a number of pre-installation requisites for an existing database to be used as a destination for a repository installation, there are both documents on metalink on the subject and the basic installation guide references pre-requisites for existing databases.

Too many LISTENER processes (11gR2 Grid Infrastructure (2 nodes))

Greetings -
I get an alert that says that my LISTENER is down (EM Alert Details). It suggests a corrective action
to stop the current running LISTENER and start it again using the listener parameter (listener.ora) from
the database (RDBMS) home. There are two (2) LISTENER processes running (ps -ef | grep LISTENER) .
One process is running from the grid home and the other from the database home however only
the one running from the grid home has a listener parameter file (listener.ora) there are no others.
To confuse me even further the documentation says that I should not set the 'local_listener' parameter
and that the Oracle Agent will maintain this setting.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.
Brian

Thanks Rodrigo,
That was VERY helpful.
I disabled the old listener and then
I was able to create a new listener with the correct settings.
I can see the instances on each node using this
expression.
lsnrctl status NEW_LISTENER
However this shows on the first node that +ASM1, DM3, DM31
are available on the second node I see only +ASM2 but nothing else.
I was expecting DM3, DM32 .
Now when I first created the new listener I read that the 'local_listener'
setting need NOT be set. When I attemptied to unset that parameter then
I lost the local instances. I reset the local_listener as before
and the local instance on node one returned. Not on node two however.
My question: Do I need to set the 'local_listener' on each instance to the same
value or to different values to reflect which node they are configured for ?
I cannot see it now but I remember there is a section that references the
first node 'node_one-vip' .
Should the second node's local_listener section be 'node_two-vip' ?
Now if it need not be set this then something else has to occur to make it work.
Sorry for not being more brief,
Brian

12c Grid Infrastructure 2 node instance redhat linux 6.3

I have a two node 12c rac database. I am frequently seeing one node get shutdown for no apparent reason.
The alert log says
Error: Controlfile sequence number in file header is different from the one in memory
Please check that the correct mount options are used if controlfile is located on NFS
One node is up and the other node is down. If I startup the node that is down, then the other node will come down leaving only one instance.

Are your controlfiles located on NFS? If so I'd check the mount options on the partition they are located to make sure they are correct.
Otherwise, I'm assuming you are also getting the ORA-235 error in the alert log? Your controlfiles may be corrupted and it would be worth looking at the article: Production Database Is Not Coming Up due to ORA-235 (Doc ID 1266376.1)
Are you using EMC Data Mover? If so this may apply to your case: Database corruption due to lost write while using EMC DATAMOVER (Doc ID 1905184.1)

How does 1 ASM instance in a 10 node RAC cause all 10 ASM instance to hang

Linux RHEL4
11.2.0.1.0 GI
11.2.0.1.0 RDBMS
11.1.0.7.0 RDBMS
10.2.0.4.4 RDBMS
Yesterday we had one of the ASM instance on our 10-node cluster hang with a latch "ASM file allocation latch". Oracle support has stated we are hitting a bug with is fixed in the latest PSU.
What I am trying to understand is how a latch on one ASM instance caused all 10 ASM instances to hang?
Oracle Supports explanation still does not answer how all 10 ASM instance were affected other then the faulty code that the patch fixes. Bellow is info out of the SAR.
Data Guard Site:
================
ARC1 PID 21508 reports ORA-240 'control file enqueue held for more than 120 seconds' at Thu Oct 28 11:35:54 2010. This message means ARC1 PID 21508 was holding the enqueue past the maximum tine limit of 120 seconds.
Next ARC0 PID 17398 reports ORA-16146: 'control file enqueue unavailable' at Thu Oct 28 11:36:52 2010. This means ARC0 PID 17398 tried to access the controlfile and it could get the lock.
ARC1 PID 21508 is then killed at Thu Oct 28 11:49:57 2010.
Killing enqueue blocker (pid=21508) on resource CF-00000000-00000000 by (pid=23078) by killing session 5.3
We see that RSM has been restarted by Broker. This matches to the alert.log and messages showing RSM being restarted several time. i.e. RSM0 started with pid=84, OS id=27915
Since this started happening around 11:14, the problem may have really started then instead of w/ the CF enqueue block.
The primary appears to be shipping redo to the standby using asynchronous mode. Unless there was a gap, I do no know if ARC1 should have been doing any remote network I/O. Because a log switch to thread 1 sequence 5235 had just happened at 11:33am, I suspect it was a local disk I/O that was started at least. The ORA-240 is reported at 11:35, exactly 120 sec (or 2min) from this log switch. Notice also the entry to show the log thread 1 sequence 5234 was registered to the controlfile didn't happen yet.
ASM Side:
============
From the systemstate dump on ASM, multiple processes are waiting on 'ASM file allocation latch' and we are kind of stuck on stack:
ksedsts()+461<-ksdxfstk()+32<-ksdxcb()+1782<-sspuser()+112<-0000003218E0C5B0<-kfuhInsert()+175<-kffilCreate()+601<-kfnsUFG()+3691<-kfnsBackground()+4382<-kfnDispatch()+527<-opiodr()+1149<-ttcpip()+1251<-opitsk()+1633<-opiino()+958<-opiodr()+1149<-opidrv()+570<-sou2o()+103<-opimai_real()+133<-ssthrdmain()+214<-main()+201<-__libc_start_main()+219
This caused the hang on the ASM side and hence ASM was not responding to the database. The CF Enqueue issue on the database was a side effect of this.
This is a direct <BUG:9232266> which is a duplicate of <BUG:8974548>

Thanks Murali,
I was little reluctent to open a tar since my experince says that its better to troubleshoot the issue yourself instead of spending time with the Oracle support :)
Well, I got some more information on this : the sql for the process id of ASM instance is :
Alter Diskgroup mount all;
It looks like it is unable to mount the diskgroup and get hunged at that point , is it due to the new disk added to the system or do we missed something after adding the new disk.
Also, the ASM process can not be killed from unix box while the ASM is down.
Will appreciate your time if we can move in any directions from here ..
Thanks ,
Ankur

11.2 Standalone Grid Infrastructure installation to Clustered Grid Insall

Quick question:
Currently we have a 11.2.0.1 standalone grid infrastructure installation with ASM instance running on server a1. And there are few databases running under the +ASM instance on a1. We are planning to make a1, a2 as a 2-node real application cluster. Is there a way to convert the standalone grid infrastructure installation on server a1 to a clustered grid infrastructure installation along with a2 with out de-installing the existing standalone grid infrastructure on a1 and re-installing freshly?
Thanks

Hi Boochi,
Thanks for responding. May be I am not clear enough in my post. Database conversion will be the next step, my question is about the actual grid infrastructure installation...Currently a1 server has been configured to work as standalone grid infrastructure, but our requirement is to convert to a 2-node RAC with server a2. Generally, I would go by de-installing the existing standalone grid infrastructure running on a1 and re-install the clustered-grid infrastructure with nodes a1 and a2. I am wondering if there is a way without de-installing the existing standalone grid infrastructure??

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 ?
Edited by: user521219 on Jan 30, 2012 12:46 PM

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.
