How to Reorganize CSM200 Shared Storage in Solaris 10 x86 Oracle 10gR2

I could use some guidance from those who are more experienced in RAC administration in a Solaris environment with ASM. I have a three-node RAC with Oracle 10gR2 instances on top of Solaris 10 x86 where the shared storage is a Sun CSM200 disk array which looks like a single disk to the rest of the world. I'm not very familiar with the CSM200 Common Array Manager but I do have access to use it.
During initial setup, I followed the Oracle cookbook and defined a storage slice for each of the following: OCR, OCR mirror, three voting disks, and +DATA, for a total of six slices. I brought up the RAC and we've used it for a couple of weeks.
This is a Dev and QA environment, so it changes pretty fast. The new requirement is to add a +FRA and to add a mount point for a file system on the shared storage, so that all three Oracle instances can refer to the same external table(s).
However, I've already used all the available slices in the VTOC on the shared logical drive. I'm not sure how to proceed.
1) Is it necessary to use the CAM to create two logical disks out of the single existing logical disk?
2) If so, how destructive is that? I don't need to keep the contents of the database, but I do not want to reinstall CRS or ASM or the DB instances.
3) Is it possible to combine the OCR and its mirror on the same slice, thus freeing a slice for reuse?
4) Is it possible to combine all three voting disks on the same slice, thus freeing two slices for reuse?
Edited by: user12006221 on Mar 29, 2011 3:30 PM
Another question: Under 10.2.0.4, is it possible for the OCR and voting disks to be managed by ASM? I know it would be possible under 11g, but that's not an option as I am trying to match a customer's environment and they aren't going to 11g any time real soon.

What you see is what happens when the Java runtime running on Solaris 10 x86 tries to load a library which is compiled for SPARC.
Because of the native parts in SAP GUI for Java, compilations and installers are required for each OS - HW combination.
The supported platforms can be seen in SAP note 954572. For Solaris only SPARC is currently supported.
Because of the effort needed for compiling, testing, support etc. it is required to focus on OS - HW combinations widely used on desktop machines and Solaris 10 on x86 currently does not seem to be one of those.

Hi.
Are You read documentation ?
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19680-01/html/821-1255/babhabac.html#z40000471052274]
Guidelines for the /globaldevices File System
Oracle Solaris Cluster software offers two choices of locations to host the global-devices namespace:
A lofi device
A dedicated file system on one of the local disks
This section describes the guidelines for using a dedicated partition. This information does not apply if you instead host the global-devices namespace on a lofi.
The /globaldevices file system is usually located on your root disk. However, if you use different storage on which to locate the global-devices file system, such as a Logical Volume Manager volume, it must not be part of a Solaris Volume Manager shared disk set or part of a VxVM disk group other than a root disk group. This file system is later mounted as a UFS cluster file system. Name this file system /globaldevices, which is the default name that is recognized by the scinstall(1M) commandSo:
>I have mounted one (1) common 2gb LUN for both the nodes, so it is creating the problem...?
It source of problem.
Every node require have it's own separate slice for globaldevice.
Shared Lun can be mounted with option global for access from both nodes at same time, but it will be second step - configure data-services.

Installation of solaris-10u9-x86-oracle-db-11gr2.bin

hi
how do i install solaris-10u9-x86-oracle-db-11gr2.bin?
is it any OVM template?
what this .bin is containing actually ?
kind regards

The first thing most of us do is download and read the installation documents.
That is what I recommend you do too.
Please also do not assume anyone here has any idea what the file you are referencing does ... I am not aware of anything from Oracle with the name you provided.

How to add a Shared printer to solaris

Hi,
In a server, i am using solaris 10 x86.
I want to add a shared printer which is attached in a windows xp PC.
Can any one guide me , how to add a printer which is shared in a Windowx PC to My Solaris 10 X86 Machine.
Thanks.
Viraj

Is it directly attached to the Windows PC (e.g. via USB?) Is it a laser printer?
In Windows, you may need to add the additional components for Unix printing and TCP (or IPP) printing. You should then be able to share your printer as a as an LPD/LPR printer or an IPP printer. Then you could probably use lpadmin to add the printer was my_xp_box:printQname
I have NOT used CUPS on a Solaris server myself - most of my printers are HP laser network printers that support LPR/LPD and port 9100 printing. but a quick google search will show that it is available for Solaris from the Solaris freeware companion CD. CUPS may make it easier to configure the solaris client. If you are dealing with an inkjet printer you probably will have to use cups to get the driver support.

How to make Open Source work on Solaris 10, x86 ?

I'm trying to make this Open Source code for MDBTools work on my
Solaris 10, x86.
What this tool does is to read in a Microsoft Access MDB file, and
outputs the contents of that database file, into an ASCII text file.
I unzipped these files already, but how do I make "mdbtools" work on
Solaris x86, version 10?

How to increase the size of /opt solaris 10 x86

Solaris 10 X86, /opt runs out space, would anyone please tell me how to increase the size of /opt?
The Solaris is installed on the whole disk, and I believe there are still some free hard disk space available somewhere.
I need step by step guidance please.
thanks.

Hi
Looks like you have installed your Solaris 10 on traditional UFS disk partitions and not using the ZFS whole disk. If so then you need to resize de underlying partition using the format command and then run the growfs to resize the /opt.

How to listen to .mp3 songs in Solaris 10 -x86 ??

Hello friends,
I have installed Solaris-10 on my PC ( ie Solaris 10 for x86). I would like to play .mp3 files (songs). I checked that mpg123 is installed. At the same time, I could not find the files /dev/audio and /dev/audioctl. Browsing the net fetched me the information that if /dev/audio and /dev/audioctl files are missing, then it means that the sound card is not installed properly. How do I ensure that he sound card is installed properly? What are the methods to listen to .mp3 songs in solaris?
Since I am new to Solaris, I would request you to guide me in a step-by-step procedure.
Thanks,
Sreeram

Thank you sir for that excellent link which you have sent. I could diagonise as to what is the problem in my system. The problem is that the driver is not installed. Also, in the link, there is another link from where we can know the make and the information as to which installable has to be downloaded to fit our sound card. My sound card's device id is 2 (yes, just 2) and upon seaching in the sub-link (ie http://www.pcidatabase.com/index.php) , I find that for device id 2, the chipset information is "BLANK" ( that is there is no information about the chipset), but the vendor is Compaq.
Could you please let me know as to how to proceed with this issue. Which installable should I download and proceed?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Sreeram

Shared memory in solaris 10 with oracle

Hi, I am a newbie to solaris and i have some questions on shared memory, Oracle in Solaris
My Questions might seem different, however please do read and try to answer. Thanks in advance.
1) if a solaris server has say 40gb of Ram, what would be the maximum size of a shared memory segment in this machine?
I know that if the server has 40GB. then max shared memory size is 10GB i.e. one fourth of ram, however not sure
2) What is the maximum size of a shared memory segment in solaris that a root user can define.
+ i know that its some where near 14 GB not very sure +
3) Assume i have created a user X and i allocated say 10GB limit for this user for shared memory.
I login to solaris using X and now, can i increase the size of the shared memory that this user can use?
I have a situation, where the root user, created a user named DBA and the root user allocated some 15gb for this DBA user as the max SHM limit.
Now the DBA user has set the max limit for shared memory as 1TB, which is causing hell of problems in the system.
* I am Not very sure on the concept. I am new to this product and facing this problem. please advice.*
+ Thanks +
Krishnakanth (Simply KK)

Not sure why your "oracle" user (owner who will be creating the instance) has been assigned the project user.root. I would say create a seperate project may be "dba" and give access to this project to the owner of the user who will be creating the oracle instance.
and then try to issue the command:
prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 8gb -r -i project dba
and check to see if you are still facing a problem?

11gR2 Verification of shared storage accessibility

I do not understand how is this possible. I am trying to apply 11.2.0.2.5 psu on a 2-node cluster running on RHEL 5.5 vms. Followed ORACLE-BASE examples when installed this laptop RAC.

Hi,
CLUFVY COMP SSA checks if the used storage/location is shared.
If you do "cluvfy comp ssa -t software" cluvfy checks if your software home is shared.
It tells you it is not. Hence the checks fails (which is correct, because you said DB Home is not shared).
So where is the problem?
CLUVFY COMP SSA only makes sense to check the sharedness. If it is not shared, then there is no sense in testing for it.

Sebastian

check your /etc/system and init.ora
did you set up kernel parameters for oracle in /etc/system?
something like this:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffff
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=4096
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1000
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
the interesting parameter is
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100 - that is maximum amount of oracle processes system can have, if you have something like processes=150 in init.ora, database won't start.
read oracle installation manual on how to set these parameters for a particular machine and database

Fresh install of solaris 10 x86 hangs after 'Configuring devices'

Hi All,
I just received a new SuperMicro server with an LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i controller. While trying to install Solaris 10 it hangs after "Configuring devices". I checked the LSI page and Solaris 10 is supported according to them. Any ideas how to proceed?
Fairly new to Solaris on x86 hardware.
The system has a Xeon X5690 processor in an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC motherboard. The motherboard documents claim that not disabling usb 2.0 can hang an install. I have disabled the usb 2.0 in the bios but the system still hangs. Booting it with the -kd and -kv options don't give much information.
Any help is appreciated. I might be returning these machines if I can't get this worked out.
Cheers,
Steve
Edited by: 967729 on Oct 25, 2012 3:51 PM

See if you can add the verbose option "-v" to the kernel boot options. I think you can get to the GRUB menu off the Solaris 10 install disk. That should tell you what device is causing the hang, or at least the last device that worked.
Also, can you try Solaris 11 and see if it gets past that point? A few years ago I has a similar issue with Solaris 10 on a Dell server. Solaris 11/OpenSolaris worked fine, though. IIRC I could work around the issue if I disabled the 2nd CPU - Solaris 10 had a problem bringing up the 2nd CPU on that Dell's CPU/MB config.

Hi Suresh Kumar,
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2, Patch Set 3 (10.1.2.3) is required to be fully certified on OEL 5.x or RHEL 5.x.
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 10.1.2.0.0 or 10.1.2.0.1 versions are not supported with Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 5.0 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.0. It is recommended that version 10.1.2.0.2 be obtained and installed.
Which implies Oracle AS 10.1.2.x is some what certified on RHEL 5.x
I think it would be better if you get in touch with Oracle Support regarding this .
Sorry , I am not aware of any document on migration from Sun Solaris to RH Linux 5.2 .

In the old Mobile me storage I had shared storage for my family and all of our devices. How do I breakup the 55GB across my apple accounts now that iCloud is by device by user?

In the old Mobile me storage I had shared storage for my family and all of our devices. How do I breakup the 55GB across my apple accounts now that iCloud is by device by user? Anyone else have this issue. I am also in need of correcting the storage from my work where I do not have Safari or I can not down load iCould to my desk top.

That storage moves to master account. Since there are no accounts like that in Icloud, people in your family will enjoy complimentary 5 gigs from Apple and they will let you know if they need anymore. You will not be able to manage storage from windows desktop
