Dear Team,
We are planning to migrate our single instance databases on multi instance environment which is RAC  on Solaris 10 sparc server.
Will you please help for migration steps and  database feasibility for the same.
Oracle database version - 11.2.0.1

  • How to restore a single instance database to RAC (10g) using RMAN ?

    Hi all,
    I have a single instance database configured using file system in a unique server, so now I need to restore this database using RMAN to a new RAC environment with two nodes and ASM also.
    Does anyone can help with this documentation or a link about any information about this restore using rman ?
    I tryied found on metalink but threres isn´t this specific case. Only how to convert single instance to 10g RAC, but without how to use with rman information.
    System: Windows 2003
    Oracle 10g R2
    Thanks.

    In essense you are really doing nothing more than restoring a backup on a new host. If you want a blow by blow detail of how to accomplish it take at http://www.oracledistilled.com/oracle-database/restore-database-to-another-host-using-rman
    In order to write the files to the ASM Disk groups you will use the SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE in your restore script. You will also need to create the ORACLE_BASE/admin/<DBSID> structure on all of node. Once you get the database completely restore you will need to edit the SPFILE to include the proper value for the CLUSTER* parameters and each the node specific parameters. Sorry that it is kind of higher level than what you are probably looking for but the link above and what I put here should get you were want to go.

  • 10gR2 single instance to 11gR2 rac upgrade

    Can someone tell me some good approach for upgrading a single instance 10.2.0.2 database of approx size 2TB to 11.2.0.3 rac 2 node db on linux.

    Hi;
    1. You can upgrade your db to 11gr2 first than convert it to rac
    2. You can use RMAN and restore it to new 11gR2 server
    3. You can use expdp/impdp to new 11gR2 server

  • Migrating single instance SAP and Oracle 11.2.0.1 database to Oracle RAC

    We have a single instance SAP Netweaver environment on Oracle 11.2.0.1 database and want to migrate to Oracle 11.2.0.1 RAC and ASM. The documents are for 11.2.0.2 and later but we want a way to:
    1. Migrate single instance SAP and Oracle 11.2.0.1 instance to ASM
    2. Configure the environment as four node Oracle 11.2.0.1 cluster
    Thus far, I have:
    1. Installed clusterware 11.2.0.1
    2. Installed four ASM instances
    My questions:
    1. We want to migrate the single instance database to same server and extend to four node cluster and ASM
    However, current SID for SAP and Oracle must remain the same. The problem I have is that the target database name needs to be same as source on same physical host.
    2. How would I use RMAN to migrate the single instance database to ASM for 11.2.0.1?
    3. How would I use rconfig after this step?

    3- We have installed four node Oracle 11.2.0.1 clusterware on the above nodesAnd what is the shared storage? For RAC, all shared storage devices for the cluster need to be available and usable by all ASM instances in that cluster.
    Issue- we have RAC 11.2 clusterware listener using SCAN and listeners for all four clusterware nodes.
    When we try to run the following RMAN command to migrate the single instance Oracle 11.2.0.1 datafiles it fails:The failure says: "+RMAN-10038: database session for channel ORA_DISK_1 terminated unexpectedly+". And this in itself does not tell you what the actual problem encountered is.
    4- How to register the single instance with all four ASM instances and network services to resolve the above issue?Register what instance? ASM does not need databases or instances to be registered. It is a storage management layer. The cluster (grid infrastructure) layer is the one that deals with the registration (and management) of the various services and resources on that grid (e.g. ASM instances, database instances, SCAN and VIP, Listener services, etc).
    5- Do we need to first run rconfig utility against single Oracle 11.2.0.1 instance to register with clusterware services BEFORE using RMAN to perform the datafile migration to ASM?Never used rconfig. See Support Note +RCONFIG : Frequently Asked Questions [ID 387046.1]+ for details.

  • Converting single instance database(11gr2) supporting EBS 12.1.3 to 2 node RAC on RHEL.

    Hi We are in the process of converting single instance database(11gr2) supporting EBS 12.1.3 to 2 node RAC on RHEL. Which version of RHEL is better? if its 6.x then x?? The oracle document only says RHEL update 6.

  • Creating a RAC standby database for a single instance database

    Dear All,
    I have a task of migrating a 500GB single instance database to a two-node RAC database with a little downtime at hand. My migration strategy is to:
    1) Create a RAC physical standby for the Single Instance database
    2) Switchover to RAC standby.
    Primary and Standby OS and DB configurations:
    OS: Windows Server EE 2003 (64-bit)
    DB: Oracle 10g Database Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    Oracle 10g Clusterware Release 2 (10.2.0.4)
    To create a RAC standby, I will:
    a) Install Clusterware (10.2.0.1)
    b) Install Database (10.2.0.1)
    c) Patch both Clusterware and Database (10.2.0.4)
    d) Create ASM instance for both the nodes (+ASM1 & +ASM2)
    e) create standby controlfile on primary
    f) Move standby controlfile, RMAN backup of primary, pfile, listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, password file to standby host-1
    g) make necessary changes to the pfile on standby host-1 like cluster_database, instance_name, thread, ...
    h) mount standby database and restore backup
    Kindly validate my steps and if there already exists such a document then please do provide me with a link.

  • How to change DB & Instance name on RAC

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone tell me how can i change my database name along with the two instances running on the RAC server?
    Any ideas......
    Regards,
    MB

    You can rename database by creating control file as well , like we use to do in single instance database.
    1) Shutdown node 2
    2) Run following command on node 1
    alter database backup control file to trace ;
    3) shutdown database on node 1
    4) copy trace file created in step 2 to file crctl.sql (say) . Edit crctl.sql and set database name what u want to set.
    5) edit init<sid>.ora and change database name
    6) startup nomount and run crctl.sql
    7) Startup database in both node
    8) Change tnsnames.ora and listener.ora ( if needed)
    9) config srvctl
    srvctl remove database -d <old_database_name>
    srvctl add database -d <new_db_name> -o $ORACLE_HOME
    srvctl add instance -d <new_db_name> -i <instance name on node 1> -n Node1
    srvctl add instance -d <new_db_name> -i <instance name on node 2> -n Node2

  • Can we use Grid Infrastructure 11.2 to protect a single instance database?

    Hi all,
    I would like to use Oracle Grid Infrastructure to protect a single-instance database.
    I found these docs:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/em-db-failover-128585.pdf (for 10.2)
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/clusterware/overview/si-db-failover-11g-134623.pdf (for 11.1)
    I was unable to find a similar document for GI 11.2 . Do you know if such a document exists?
    At the moment I only know that the GI is free if used for an Oracle Product, but I am not shure whether it can be used to protext external applications or single-instance databases
    Andrea

    Hi,
    while this still works (the scripts for failover you find in the demo folder $GI_HOME7/crs/demo/coldfailover), the document does not exists, since with 11gR2 there is a supported solution called RAC ONE Node, hence rendering the manual setup obsolete.

  • Configuring multiple services in a single instance database

    Dear All,
    I would like to create multiple service names for a single instance oracle database (10.2.0.3 on IBM - AIX 6.1). I tried searching on the net, reading documentation, and also on the metalink but couldn't find anything relevant to single instance database.
    Say I have two users, userA and userB, for which I would like to use two services (ServA and ServB) to connect to the same single instance database.
    Any help in this direction is appreciated.

    It is very hard to believe you didn't find this in the documentation, and my suspicion is you didn't search for it at all.It is very hard to believe that you don't trust others and end up in suspicion. I wish you were sitting next to me while I was searching for the link/document.It is because the vast majority of doc questions are asked by people who don't read the docs at all.
    Now, I'm curious about your requirement. While it can be done, it is pretty unusual. That always leads me to want to step back from the technical question and ask What business problem is this solving?

  • Single-Instance ASM to RAC ASM !!

    At the moment i am in process to create a RAC ASM instance on two nodes. When i was creating ASM instance it gave me error that unable to connect to crsd on Node2.
    So i manually added asm instance using srvctl on node2. It is registered with CRS but it is not online. I tried starting up by using crs_start or srvctl start asm but asm resource is down on both the nodes.
    I have started up manually both the ASM instance and created some Diskgroups, Now i have to create a RAC enabled DB for which it is showing convert single-instance ASM to RAC ASM.
    What needs to be done.

    Hi
    because the service ASM was added individually the crs stack is unable to recognise the clustering of ASM. In fact this has just made the ASM on two nodes function as two seperate ASM instances. They were never clustered. So i think convertion is one option. I came here while looking for one such doc. My 10.2.0.1 RAC install on windows 2003 went on a toss.. while dbca was trying to set up the clustered ASM and configure the instance, the primary node crashed and when it was recovered, i could notice the ASM instance is created on one node only.. When i try to invoke dbca again, neither am allowed to create an ASM instance for RAC/convert the existing one to RAC. Until now what I have found is that if such case arise, the quicker way is to revert everything back, clean up the server of clusterware and re install every thing... but before am looking for my options..
    does any body have an idea? please share

  • Converting Single Instance database into Oracle Fail-Safe on Linux

    Hi All,
    We have single instance Oracle10g database running on Linux RHEL4. We are looking to convert this database into Oracle Fail-Safe (Active-Passive). Does any one have document for Oracle fail-safe setup?
    Regards,
    Tushar

    Tushar,
    you can't use software for windows on Linux.
    However, there's number of ways to implement high-availability solution on Linux Oracle.
    You can go with Active-Active (RAC) - which means that you'll have two servers attached to the same database at the same time. You can use either, and if one goes down(due to power failure for instance), the second will still be available.
    You can go with Active-Passive (Data Guard) - which means that you'll have one of the nodes being active and the second passive, but synchronized with the first one, so in case of failure of the first node you can activate the second one.
    You can also go with linux clustering - which is most similar to MCS + fail-safe - you'll have two nodes clustered with linux clustering software (RH cluseter suite for instance) and connected to shared storage. One node is active, and in case of crash database instance will be automatically started on the second node. This is beneficial because you can use your resources more efficiently. In case if you have two databases you can run each of them on dedicated server and then, in case of node failure move to another one. However, the setup of such configuration is quite cumbersome.
