Hyperion Essbase 11.1.2 active/passive Clustering

Hello,
Has anyone successfully clustered Essbase 11.1.2 in an active/passive configuration? If yes, I have a few questions as I do not believe that the documentation is very clear on a few critical areas. I have already installed and configured Essbase on the first server and set the cluster name to EssbaseCluster-1 (I also shared out the essbaseserver1 directory so the second essbase server can access it). I also went and installed and configured Essbase on the second server (during the configuration, I configured to be a member of EssbaseCluster-1. I am not sure if I am supposed to put the share location in the full arborpath location (I did not)). When configuring the opmn.xml file the documentation states the following (from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install.pdf pg 172):
Setting Up Active-Passive Essbase Clusters
If you set up an active-passive Essbase cluster using EPM System Configurator, you must perform
additional steps to set up Essbase failover on both nodes of the cluster.
ä To complete the setup of the Essbase active-passive cluster:
1 Update MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/config/OPMN/opmn/
opmn.xml to specify the OPMN service failover network topology. In the <notificationserver
interface> section, add the <topology> section. For example:
<notification-server interface="any">
<ipaddr remote="*hostName*" />
<port local="*portNumber*" remote="*portNumber*" />
<ssl enabled="true" wallet-file="\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects
\epmsystem1\config\OPMN\opmn\wallet"/>
<topology>
<nodes list="*nodeName1:nodePort1,nodeName2:nodePort2*"/>
</topology>
</notification-server>
2 In the same section of the file, update hostName to match the nodeName for this machine.
Oracle recommends using a fully qualified name. "
So, with these instructions, I put the following into my own opmn.xml file on both of the essbase servers. (epmapp1 and epmdata1 are my two essbase servers, they are running on the default port 1423)
<notification-server interface="any">
<ipaddr remote="epmapp1"/>
<port local="*1423*" remote="*1423*"/>
<ssl enabled="false" wallet-file="E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\config\OPMN\opmn\wallet"/>
     <topology>
     <nodes list="*epmapp1:1423,epmdata1:1423*"/>
     </topology>
</notification-server>
When I go to start the essbase cluster through the opmnctl startproc command, I recieve the following. Anyone know what I am missing?
C:\Users\Administrator>echo %ORACLE_INSTANCE%
E:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1
C:\Users\Administrator>opmnctl startproc ias-component=EssbaseCluster-1
opmnctl startproc: starting opmn managed processes...
===============================================================================
opmn id=epmapp1:1423
no processes or applications matched this request

Oracle Grid Infrastructure: Active/passive Clusters

Full blown RAC instances are still relatively rare. Maybe the high costs are one of the main reasons for this. Anyway, many SAP/Oracle installations don't really require a fault tolerant database. A simple automatic failover in an active/passive cluster would be sufficient.
In the book "Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux" I found a very interessting comment on page 28:
A little known fact is that using Oracle Grid Infrastructure makes it very simple to set up a cost effective active/passive cluster. Leveraging the Grid Infrastructure API and Oracleu2019s Automatic Storage Management as a cluster logical volume manager makes it easy to constantly monitor a single instance Oracle database. In case of a node failure, the database will automatically be relocated to the standby node. Depending on the fast_start_mttr_target initialization parameter and the size of the recovery set, the failover to the standby node can be very quick; however, users will be disconnected from the database as part of the failover process.
Now I have two questions:
1. If I want to create a proof of concept, where do I start? I already had a look at the Oracle 11g documentation, but in the documentation "cluster" equals "RAC".
2. It is not sufficient to perform only a database failover. We need to handle the SAP system as well. Is it supported by SAP to put /usr/sap/SID and /sapmnt/SID into ASM 11.2 and present them e.g. as ASM cluster file systems?
Regards,
Mark

Hello Stefan,
we are both on one line. I would also prefer a simple active-passive cluster setup to a full blown RAC or even a RAC One Node. especially if the license fee for Clusterware is significantly lower than for RAC. However, Oracle staff makes it really clear that Oracle does not want customers to implement active-passive clusters based on Clusterware without RAC. They even say this active-passive cluster is no longer supported on 11.2. by Oracle! Of course it worked fine with 11.1 and there is no reason why it should be technically no longer possible with 11.2. WIth this adverse winds from Oracle blowing in our face, it doesn't make sense to implement such a active-passive cluster any more, however elegent it might have been technically.
So let's see what the alternatives are and when RAC One Node will be available (and at what price!).

Mark

Can you Setup a Active Passive DFS namespace in the same site

Hi,
I would like to use DFS for profile replication. I know MS doesn't recommend it, but was wondering if you could setup DFS namespace in an Active/ passive contests in the same AD site. I think or what I can understand of DFS is that if the Fileserver is in
the same site it would select it randomly and you cant specify which server is the primary.
Basically what I want is to have users only access File server 1, but if this file server 1 goes down to be redirected to file server 2.
Thanks,
Shaun

You could have a read-only Replica but that really doesn't help you in terms of the automatic redirection thing. You could also set up a 2-node replication group and disable the referral for the folder(s) on one node like below:
However the "failover" would be manually Enabling, which I doubt fits the bill.
Otherwise, I'm not aware of any configuration of DFSR that allows you to do what you're talking about (maybe someone else will correct me.) HOWEVER, I suspect a design that fits your use case may be to create a DFS namespace that runs
on a file server cluster. That way if Node1 goes down, the cluster fails over, and the data continues to be available on Node2 when accessed via DFS.
If interested, there are a couple ways to approach DFS in combination with a cluster.
Configuration1: The cluster is configured to host the namespace as well as the folder targets (where the actual data is). CAVEAT - The cluster can only be configured as a standalone cluster.
Configuration2: Create a domain DFS namespace that resides on other servers.
\\domain\DFSRoot for example. Then point each of the leaves/folder targets to clustered shares. So you'd create a subfolder called "Profiles" that points to the clustered share that houses the profiles.
Just an idea. Hope this helps.

SAP PI 7.1 High Availability, Active-Active or Active-Passive

We are planning go to HA system for PI 7.11
I've few doubts/questions regarding this.
Can we make Active-Active clustering or Active-Passive? Or itu2019s our choice?
If it is our choice, then is at Configuration level (Application level)? or hardware level?
What are additional steps we need to take for Active-Active clustering? (Which we are looking for)
What is recommended by SAP?
Any Pros & Cons.
Please reply me if you have any information regarding this, any information regards to this is greatly appreciated
Thanks
Sagar

Hi Sagar,
Please use Active-Passive for your SAP PI 7.1 High Availability system.
For more details, please refer to the sdn link:
High Availability
->High Availability FAQ
->What is an "active-active cluster"?
An active-active cluster consists of two independent server nodes at a minimum. The workload within a cluster resource is shared between the server nodes. If a cluster node crashes the processes are resumed by the remaining cluster nodes. An active-active cluster configuration means that a cluster resource is active on all cluster nodes. The aim of an active-active cluster is not only to provide high availability system but to distribute the workload between the cluster nodes. Applications with a very high workload like databases benefit from an active-active setup. Due to the SAP Central Services Instance is a light component an active-active setup does not make any sense. Therefore the SCS is implemented as an active-passive cluster resource.

Active-Passive Failover cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi,
As per the client requirements, I build an active-passive Oracle 11g R2 database cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2.
(Used Microsoft cluster as Client don't have Fail Safe licence)
As per the configuration, I follow the below mentioned steps:
a)OS vendor configured Active-Passive Windows Cluster
b)Installed Oracle 11g R2 on both the nodes with same ORACLE_HOME name
c)Create Listener and configured it with cluster IP in Node1
d)Create Database from Node1. Physical files location are all in Storage
e)Create Oracle Service with the same name in the 2nd node and copy all the files like spfile,tnsnames.ora,listener.ora,password file to Node2
f)Configure Listener with the same Oracle SID.
g)Test database failover from Node2 with Listener registration
h)Open the Windows Failover Manager to configure the Oracle Database and Listener Service in the Cluster Group
Now I am facing problem by moving Cluster Group movement. Whenever trying to moving the group, Listerner service is not getting up by Cluster Manager as quorum is not included in the group and that quorum disk is not moving in the failover node with the Oracle Cluster Group. As per my understanding Quorum having information of Cluster IP which has been configured with Listener.
But when I am shutdown one node, then in the other node all the resources successfully moving and cluster able to online all the resources. I guess at that time Quorum is also moving and thus cluster can able to make Listener online.
Please suggest how to resolve this issue. Means how can I make Listener up instead having any dependencies with Quorum in the fail over node?
Thanks a lot for your help.

SQL server 2012 active\passive or active\active cluster

Hi all,
I will two SQL 2012 servers in a cluster, what will be the best mode: active\passive or active\active knowing that will have one clustered instance. When we use active\passive and when to use active\active? Do we use active\active if we have multiple clustered
sql instances only?
Note: the two-node sql cluster will be installed on Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster

Download this Microsoft whitepaper about Windows 2008 R2 Failover cluster. Here's an excerpt:
Active/Active failover cluster model. All nodes in the failover cluster are functioning and serving clients. If a node fails, the
resource will move to another node and continue to function normally, assuming that the new server has enough capacity to handle the additional workload.
Active/Passive failover cluster model. One node in the failover cluster typically sits idle until a failover occurs. After a failover,
this passive node becomes active and provides services to clients. Because it was passive, it presumably has enough capacity to serve the failed-over application without performance degradation.

DATA GUARD IN ACTIVE PASSIVE OS CLUSTER WINDOWS

Hello Gurus
I am setting up data guard in sap on windows with active passive OS clustering.
Please clear below 3 confusions.
1)I have same database name and sid of standby database as primary.Now to have different service i am just using it in setting parameters and tns_alias like
Listener file for primary and standby same as sid same
SID_LIST_LISTENER=
(SID_LIST=
(SID_DESC=
(GLOBAL_DBNAME=PROD)
(ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/11.2.0)
(SID_NAME=PROD)
tNSNAMES adding entry on primary as
PROD2
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=dev-db2)
(port=1521)
(connect_data=
(service_name=prod2
server=dedicated)))
tnsnames added entry on standby of primary
PROD
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=dev-db2)
(port=1521)
(connect_data=
(service_name=prod
server=dedicated)))
---->in parameter i am using service for standby as
alter system set log_archive_dest_2='service=PROD2 async valid_for=(online_logfile,primary_role) db_unique_name=prod2;
**But i have am not creating any service as such.Will THIS WORK and alright.
as i am having confusion that my SID is same so how service be differentiated.am i doing right way.
2)as my primary database having 2 node in OS cluster so like node1 having ip 192.68.2.22 node 2 ip 192.68.2.23..They are in active passive clusten.the datafiles and other oracle files can be shifted to any node as per requirement.So they are using a virtual ip 192.68.2.20.. Now i need to create standby for this primary....standby ip is 192.68.2.40
So in tnsnames i am giving all ips the virtual ip 192.68.2.20 and host ips of both nodes on standby tnsnames and on primary adding entry of standby ip 192.68.2.40.Means i am doing entries of virtual ip and host of node1 and node2.
So i am able to ping the virtual ip from standby but not able to ping 192.68.2.22 and 192.68.2.23.
So is it fine .Would i be able to create standby database as only virtual will be needed or i am going on wrong path.
3)Can i just create the standby database by using duplicate command without taking backup in 11g.(means without physical copy of data files etc from primary to standby)
likewise
On the primary server, connect to Primary database(ORCL) as target and standby database(ORCL_DTGD) as auxiliary.
$ rman target sys/sys@ORCL auxiliary sys/sys@ORCL_DTGD
RMAN>DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY FROM ACTIVE DATABASE DORECOVER
SPFILE SET DB_UNIQUE_NAME='ORCL_DTGD' SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='service=ORCL LGWR SYNC REGISTER VALID_FOR=(online_logfile,primary_role)' Set STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT='AUTO' SET FAL_SERVER='ORCL' SET FAL_CLIENT='ORCL_DTGD' SET CONTROL_FILES='/data/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/ORCL/control01.ctl’,'/data/oracle/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/ORCL/control02.ctl’ NOFILENAMECHECK;
after configuring tns,listener etc
Regards
thanks for ur time..please reply as i am really looking for ur great ideas and need them.

For Question 1:
The SERVICE attribute, which is a mandatory attribute for a redo transport
destination, must be the first attribute specified in the attribute list. The SERVICE
attribute is used to specify the Oracle Net service name used to connect to the redo
transport destination. The service name must be resolvable through an Oracle Net
naming method to an Oracle Net connect descriptor that matches the Oracle Net
listener(s) at the redo transport destination.
Source - 6.2.2 Configuring an Oracle Database to Send Redo Data
Concepts and Administration 11g Release 2 (11.2) E10700-02
For Question 2:
I would DNS if possible. If you cannot see IP's you can add them the the HOSTs file on most OS's as a work around.
Not sure what you are trying to do exactly.
For Question 3:
Yes.
Duplicate for Standby using active duplicate.

Active Passive Vs Active Active

Hi All,
How much more effort it requires to failover or get up and ready with passive node, if Active Passive strategy is followed rather than Active Active just for saving on licenses.
Note : High availability is not a concern.
thanks,

Be clear what the policy means. RAC is normally considered an ACTIVE/ACTIVE solution since all nodes in RAC are actively processing. In an ACTIVE/PASSIVE setup by contrast one or more nodes are actively processing whilst others are standing by ready to take over the workload in the event of failure of the primary. Physical Standby, Failsafe and non-oracle clusters are often Active/Passive. You may also check if the policy comes from a sqlserver centric view of the world where you split the sqlserver databases between different nodes, so that although for any given sql database the solution is active passive, you don't 'waste' the resources of some nodes just waiting to take over, but rather run other databases on them.
Your description of ACTIVE/ACTIVE seems to rather correspond to a Stretch Cluster http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/1126_Ray_WP.pdf has a good overview of what this means. I'd be surprised if the policy was really to put all databases on just about the most expensive hardware and software solution available, but I'm used to surprises in the world of corporate policies.

Any white papers or best practice document references would be great. I'd hate to do this just case of some policy.

Active/passive failover solution using Oracle 10gR2

Hi,
We have 2 windows 2003 servers clustered together using Microsoft Clustering Services.
ORACLE_HOME on D: drive on both servers
Data drive (P:) will be failing across to each server.
I want to implement an active/passive failover solution using Oracle 10gR2.
One option is to use Oracle Failsafe,
But Are there any best practice for Failsafe which we is more reliable?
Thanks

Active/Passive Solution With 9iAS R2

Hi All,
Question about active/passive 9i AS R2 solutions. My developers is looking for a solution where they can deploy OC4J packages on one node(the passive node) and then when verified make it the active node and deploy to the other node. The system contains 2 webcache servers, two single node 9i AS servers(only one node is used) and a db server 9i R2 with the Infrastructure db on it and prod database. OID is on a single node and we do not use SSO, on the same node we have reports and discoverer.
So, I want to go from a single node iAS solution to using both nodes where one is passive and is used to deploy new code on and to verify it, and then switch it to be the active node. Is there a way to do this without clustering the AS nodes and how would that be configured. If making this on two single nodes is not possible, how would a two node cluster config with manual switch look like. Or, is there an other way to do this?
Regards,
Krister

Uhm... you can do something like you say with WebCache.
Try this:
- set up a Webcache wich serves the 2 application server
- in Webcache set up the two application server as origin servers for your site
- map only one of the origin server to your site (site-to-server mapping) in WebCache
Then, you can use one application server as a pre-production environment, and the other as a production environment.
When you want to switch the two environments, all you have to do is to reconfigure the site-to-server mapping in Webcache and restart webcache.
Take in mind that by doing this, all the open sessions to your web application will die.
I think that a more usual test environment and production environment is safer.
Bye,
Andrea

How to know the Cluster is active active or Active Passive

Friends
A quick and easy Question. I am pretty new to Clustering. How do I know the cluster is whether active active or active passive?

Hi Prasant,
Simple two-node, for Active-Passive cluster, only a single SQL Server instance is running. For Active-Active cluster, both SQL Server instances are running on each physical node of the cluster.
Generally, we can use one of the following options to identify the active node in a SQL Active-Passive Failover Cluster. For more details, please review this
blog.
1. In “Failover Cluster Management” console, you can see the current active node under the label “Current Owner” from summary screen.
2. Run the following T-SQL in SQL Server Management studio.
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS')
There is also a similar thread for your reference.
