How to remove a RAC database

Hi Guys,
We have some issues with ASM diskgroups and due to this the diskgroups holding a 2 node RAC DB are not mounted . We want to remove this database cleanly so that we can drop the troubled diskgroups and create new one.Unfortunately we dont have a backup of this database as it is not production.So how can we clean it from asm/crs - dbca needs the database to be up before it can be removed but becuase of asm issue and non-availability of backups,it can not be brought up!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
as database is mounted by RAC
1. shutdown node2 (database and ASM instance)
2. login to node1 , rman- drop database, which will drop all datafile, controlfile etc.
3. srvclt remove datase -d <db_name> : to remove from CRS reposioty
4. delete all parameter file or password file etc from $ORALCE_HOME/dbs
5. remove detail from /etc/oratab
5. drop ASM diskgroup
For more detail following metalink notes.

How to remove logical standby database configuration cleanly

Hello,
We are on RHL with 11.2.0.3 DB version. Due to various unknown reasons we would like to recreate logical standby database and for that purpose I would like to cleanly remove/uninstall/drop LOGICAL STANDBY DATABASE from the DATA GUARD configuration we have.
The DG setup already has 1 PHYSICAL STANDBY DATABASE which is working fine. PRIM,PHYSICAL, and LOGICAL all are on different HOSTS. Could you please guide or suggest us exact MOS Doc id regarding this? I have found one MOS Doc id which is close enough but its steps include removing dg configuration completely which I don't want. Only Logical Standby database needs to be remove cleanly so that it can be installed again properly.
We are using GRID CONTROL and DATA GUARD BROKER.
Bundle of thanks in advance.
Best Regards

How to list the rac databases on unix terminal

Hi guys, I am trying to find out how to list all the rac databases on the unix terminal.
the following command gives the list of all the databases running on a server
*'ps -ef |grep smon | awk '{print $8}' | awk -F"_" '{print $3}''*
of those databases i am trying to find the all the databases which are rac enabled.
I tried srvctl status database -d 'database name'
but with that i could find info on only one database at a time. So I am looking for a single command that lists out all the rac databases at a single go.
can someone please help me figure out that command
Thank You

Try:
srvctl config database

Clone a RAC database to a new RAC server

Hi,
How can clone a RAC database to a new RAC environment ?
I installed Cluster and RDBMS 10g R1 in a new RAC server and I need to copy my database "dbrest" to the new server, my new database must have the same name ("dbrest"). My actual dbrest database is in ASM and I need to use ASM for the new database too.
I don't have any database in the new RAC environment.
At the end I need to have this configuration:
Source configuration:
SERVER:
Node 1: srvprod1
Node 2: srvprod2
CLUSTER DB: dbrest using ASM
Node 1: dbrest1
Node 2: dbrest2
Clone configuration:
SERVER:
Node 1: dupenv1
Node 2: dupenv2
CLUSTER DB: dbrest using ASM
Node 1: dbrest1
Node 2: dbrest2
How can I do this?
How can I copy my dbrest database to

use rman Duplicate Database on srvprod* to dupenv*
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb.htm#BRADV165
When duplicate database can run on both dupenv1 and dupenv2.
use "srvctl" to add database, instance and services (if you have)
Usage: srvctl add database -d <name> -o <oracle_home> [-m <domain_name>] [-p <spfile>] [-A <name|ip>/netmask] [-r {PRIMARY | PHYSICAL_STANDBY | LOGICAL_STANDBY}] [-s <start_options>] [-n <db_name>] [-y {AUTOMATIC | MANUAL}]
Usage: srvctl add instance -d <name> -i <inst_name> -n <node_name>
Usage: srvctl add service -d <name> -s <service_name> -r "<preferred_list>" [-a "<available_list>"] [-P <TAF_policy>]
Usage: srvctl add service -d <name> -s <service_name> -u {-r "<new_pref_inst>" | -a "<new_avail_inst>"}

How to drop oracle 10.2.0.4 rac database on RHEL5

Hi,
I am having oracle 10.2.0.4 rac database with ASM configuration on RHEL5. Every week/day i take rman level 0 / level 1 backups by using RMAN into disk. Now i would like to test those backups. For that i need to drop this existing database and restrore, recovery from those backups. My database is configured with asm that is having two disk groups.
DATA for storing data
FRA for archive logs
How can i drop the rac 10.2.0.4 database and restore & recovery database from RMAN backups with asm. Could any one send clean steps for this testing?
Thanks

I asked about instances. Before performing your steps is it mandatory to bring down all the oracle instances. Before droping this database how to deregister these services from clusterware? After recover the database how to register the database services with clusterware?if you want to register/de-register, you need to use SRVCTL in clusterware. commands to ADD/REMOVE from clusterware, refer this below note.

How to remove database profile in report

Hello,
We have a report right now and upon accessing it, a window asking for a Database Profile comes out. This causes the program to have additional selection parameters for Project Definiton, WBS element etc.
Before we just ran the report for Period, Year, Cost Center Group. Ever since the Database Profile appeared we now have to put * in the WBS element so that the report will run.
Anyone know how to remove the Database Profile selection? One of our users reported that this wasn't in the selection parameters and our developer said there were no changes to the report.
Are there possible reasons why the Database Profile suddenly appeared?
FYI, the report was created using Report Groups (GR51/2/3)
Thanks.

Hi,
What selection criteria you need?
Database profile is needed to access objects from Logical PS DB. You have to put at least one selection object viz. Project Definition or WBS, or Network or Activity.
Create one of your own profile as per requirements and default it in user param.
Regards,
Harsh.

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.

How to remove spaces at selection screen coming from logical database

Hi Experties,
When we hide some selection from the logical database. The spaces still occupied and this make our selection screen looks awkward.
How to remove the spaces left by hidden selection ?
Regards
Nislina

Hi,
I came across your un-answered question while searching for a solution on the similer problem. Though I couldn't fine a solution on SDN, but figured out one myself. Thought its a good idea to share it.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-group4 = '003'.
      screen-active = 0.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Here screen-group4 contains the sequence number of the select-options field starting from 000 onwards.
You may like to assign points and close the question.
Kind Regards,

Burleson,
It so appears, as from the numerous times you have been published incorrect, untested information, and non-working scripts, you are not an Oracle guru,
but only a self-proclaimed one.
It also appears nothing on your 'CV' can be easily verified.
You state you are an 'adjunct professor emeritus', however anyone who was kicked out after a few months can call himself a 'professor emeritus'.
Looking at the enormous amount insults and slander you have posted directed to me and others on this forum, showing a highly unprofessional attitude toward your peers,violating this forums rules of conduct, don't you think you deserved to be banned completely?
After all, you are always promoting your own publications here, which is also in violation of the rules for this forum.
What makes you think that "Sybrand" is a man's name? How many male Sybrand's do you know? I don't know any, not one.
That's your problem. I'm as much as male, as you are a fat, ugly, self-proclaimed Oracle-guru, which you are clearly not, you are only a fraud, and this glares from all of your publications.,

How to remove an object lock from database in VMM?

This seems to be a recurring issue for others as well, but the root cause might be different for each
I am in a situation where I can't add additional disks to a VM because of running intoError (2602) "Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job" - however, other VMs on
the cluster are not locked and there are no other jobs running against the VM where I need to add the disks.
Looks like a quirk in the VMM database to me - maybe an "orphaned lock"? Would love to know how to remove this or how to handle this issue, as the recommended action in VMM doesn't really help much at all (To find out which
job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.)
Why doesn't VMM at least say which job is locking the object?

For 4 node RAC database on Exadata x3-2, how many scan IP I should assign?

We want to build a 4 node RAC 11gr23 on exadata x3-2. Oracle only recommend 3 ip for scan listener. by previous observation of non-exadata RAC, seems each node will spread randomly one Scan Ip address. So if we assign 3 ip to one scan listener, how that will work on a 4-node RAC?
Thanks

You're welcome
by Load balancing
Oracle RAC databases increase load balancing by using the single client access name (SCAN) for the cluster to balance connections among all instances in a cluster database. SCAN also adds location independence for the databases, so that client configuration does not have to depend on which nodes are running a particular database or database instance.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e48195/undrstnd.htm#RIWIN607
Based on the environment, the following actions occur when you use SCAN to connect to an Oracle RAC database using a service name. The numbered actions correspond to the arrows shown in Figure 7-1.
