How to install RAC for a exist single database

Hi Friends,
We will install RAC for exist single Oracle10GR4 in 32 bit window 2003 server
DOes any experts have experience for build a RAC for exist 10GDB?
So we only need to install Oracle Clusterware and does not need to install DB.
Just configured RAC.
Is it true?
Thanks for help
Jim

Hi,
Yes it's true.Go thru the links below:

How to install clusterware on windows 2008 R2 64bit

Hello all,
As you know at otn there is only 10.2.0.4 clusterware setup for windows2008.
I want to install oracle clusterware on 2008R2. I know that there is a patchset 10.2.0.5 for windows 2008R2.
But before using it I must have alredy binary setup for oracle. (I assume)
So when I trying to setup clusterware on 2008R2 I got error
OUI-35073: Exception occured while starting service in the remote nodes. Could not start the service 'OracleClusterVolumeService' in the remote cluster
So I want to know , Is there any way to apply patch to setup files ? So I can install clusterware.
Or how can I install clusterware on 2008R2

Hi,
Do not install Oracle Database/Clusterware 10g Release 2 on Windows Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, 7 or Vista using the 10.2.0.1 version. You must use the 10.2.0.4 (64-bit) x64 version specifically created for these operating systems. After installation, for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, patchset 10.2.0.5 or higher must be applied.

Install Oracle Clusterware/RAC Windows x32bit or Windows 64bit ?

Hi,
What is your suggestion to install Oracle Clusterware RAC on Windows.
Why choose Windows 32 bit ?
Why choose Windows 64 bit?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Hi,
I definitely recommend 64bit Windows, the principal reason is memory addressing limitation.
In my standpoint do not exist benefits to use Windows 32bit with Oracle Clusterware/RAC.
32-bit processors have address registers that are 32-bits wide (can address up to 4GB physical RAM).
You can to use a workaround by enabling the addressing of more than 4GBytes using parameters in Windows (AWE/PAE). But if I want to use more than 4Gbytes, I'll go to Windows 64bit.
The 4GB addressable space per process is divided into system and user space. By default, the system space is 2GB and the private user space is 2GB. Each user process shares the same 2GB System address space.
The services of the Clusterware, ASM and Listener will consume at least 1Gbyte of memory initially.
If you create an instance to to use 1Gbytes and you have 50 connections you will have problems with connections to the database raising the following error.
TNS-00510: Internal limit restriction exceeded
32-bit Windows Error: 8: Exec format error
TNS-00507: Connection closed
32-bit Windows Error: 109: Unknown errorReason: Problems of memory usage. i.e. Out of Memory.
Another point:
With Windows 32-bit using Clusterware/RAC 11.1 you can set Automatic Memory Management(AMM) feature (MEMORY_TARGET) but you cannot use if you create 2 Instances on same Host.
Check this note..
*ORA-27102, OSD-00031 Unable To Extend Memory_max_target And Memory_target Past 2GB [ID 842881.1]*
Oracle Solution: Please install the 64-bit OS on 64-bit server, hence there is no memory limitations
I belive that is reason wich Oracle not support Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2 on Windows 32-bit. You cannot use ASM 11.2 on Windows 32-bit.
Definitely do not exist reason for me to to use Windows 32bit to support Oracle Clusterware.
There are lot services involved wich require memory and a big limitation of memory on 32-bit.
At present all latest CPUs support 64bit. Then install Oracle Clusterware/RAC x64, even when you are use less than 4GBytes memory, you only have benefits.
Benefits of Use 64-bit are:
64-bit versions of Windows have implemented up to 16 terabytes of virtual address space
64-bit programs use the 16 terabyte tuning model (8TB user / 8TB kernel)
No performance penalties for large memory
Unlimited user connectivity
64-bit Windows versions allow addressing of large physical memory sizes without using PAE
*Windows Memory Configuration: 32-bit and 64-bit [ID 873752.1]*
This document gives a better understanding of my perspective.

How to install Oracle RAC using 11gR2 on Win 7 32 bit from scratch?

Hiii,
I am a fresher and I have a win 7 system 32 bit with oracle 11gR2.
I want to install RAC using two or more servers but I dont know too much about it.
I tried to search on google but all they are giving information in pieces(for win 7) or about Linux(Please tell me why its all Linux everywhere not windows).
Please let me know if there any site where I can find step by step installation from scratch.
What are basic requirements(/software if needed).
Thank you.

Hi,
First of all forget about Windows!! Oracle is mainly designed for Linux systems. Oracle runs as real multi-process on Linux machines whereas on Windows it runs as a single process with multi-thread.
Memory usage - huge pages,single CPU run queue, dnfs, storage systems... etc. lots of concepts exists.
Besides Windows is one of the most poorly designed operating systems, you should use it only to watch cute kitten movies on youtube... Believe me, you wouldn't want to learn Oracle on Windows...
So, install virtualbox and then setup Oracle Enterprise Linux on it as a first step... By the way you have to deal with DNS server for release 11.X, RAC, you may start with 10g for now.
ORACLE-BASE has all the installation steps explained detailly, search for "oracle base rac install" on google.
I also explained on my blog, but it is a little bit advanced installation using ZFS storage simulator. DNS server installation is also explained: http://ilkertaysi.com/2013/11/11/oracle-rac-installation-with-zfs-storage/

Installing RAC in Solaris 10 T2000

How can I create a shared file system using a Oracle cluster or a Sun Cluster software, the hard drive are locally in the T2000 server and I created 2 domains using the ldm.
ldm list
NAME STATE FLAGS CONS VCPU MEMORY UTIL UPTIME
primary active -n-cv- SP 4 1G 1.1% 73d 23h 12m
racdomain1 active -n---- 5000 9 3000M 0.0% 9m
racdomain2 active -n---- 5001 9 3000M 0.0% 9m
Can you send details how can I create the raw devices and data files file system ?

I have some more questions:
How can I have the raw device shared by 2 servers?Yes - if the device/LUN is shared between cluster nodes. In other words, each cluster node need to see the same device. Once that is done, you can simply partition the device (if needed) and turn that into a raw device.
You will however need to configure the raw device entries (a file called +/etc/sysconfig/rawdevices+ on Linux) on each node.
Remember that you need 5 raw devices typically - 2 for the OCR and 3 for the Voting Disks.
Not sure about Solaris, but raw devices have been deprecated on the Linux 2.6 kernel as block devices can now be opened using direct I/O. Oracle recommends not using raw devices on Linux anymore. Not sure if this applies to Solaris. If it does, then 10g CRS Installer have a bug that prevents it from using block devices - forcing you to use raw devices (and then change it back to block devices after CRS has been installed). Or, you may find it easier to install 11g CRS instead and run 10g RAC on it (a certified Oracle combination).
Do I have to install ASM before the Oracle Clusterware SW?No. You install CRS first. Once that is installed correctly and successfully, then install RAC. I prefer installing RAC without checking any "+create db+" options.
Once RAC has been successfully installed, use dbca to create the ASM instances. Once that is done, create the the RAC database and instances.

You are using raw device for database files ? (How about Oracle Database? Enterprise Edition or Standard...)

Minimum hardware and software required to install RAC

hello friends i am new to RAC and i want to install RAC on 2 nodes and i want to know about the minimum hardware and software like (RAM,HDD,OS,EXTERNAL DRIVES,NIC,SOFTWARE FOR RAC<SOFTWARE FOR CLUSTERWARE<ASM REQUIREMENTS ETC)required to install RAC??
thanx in advance

If you choose hardware, you will need a SAN server which is necessary for RAC installation. A SAN server is expensive.
As you are new, I suppose you just want to see how is a RAC.
You may try Oracle Virtual Machine which allows you to experience RAC/Linux installation upon a cheaper PC with only 4 Go RAM and 160 Go (Windows XP is suitable).
You need some experience on how to create cluster storage system (but this is offered by Oracle Virtual Machine or VMWare).

Can i install RAC in my personal computer ?

I Want to install RAC Environment in my personal computer. Is it possible to do it in Windows Environment ? Is there any link which can help to show how to setup RAC Environment in a personal computer.

You can create a single-node RAC. However, you still need the infrastructure - shared disk, multiple network cards, and so on.
The easiest way to do RAC on a PC is to use some virtualization such as VMWare, based on the 'Build RAC' articles by Jeff Hunter and others. To see those articles, go to http://otn.oracle.com and click on 'Articles'
