B.How can i use the raw device?
C.Do i need the sun cluster?

These machines are in vmware server,and I use "vmware-vdiskmanager -c -s 250Mb -a lsilogic -t 2 "D:\10gRAC\votedisk.vmdk"" to create the shared storage.

Does anyone knows how to manually de-installing 10g rac on solairs 10?
I did not following the correct steps to de-install RAC from the RAC installation Guide.

Installing 10g RAC on laptop

Install 10g with 8.1.7/8.1.6 Fails

I am trying to install 10g on Solaris 5.8 Sparc. The system has 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 on it. The install fails with a file not found exception. The file it is looking for is /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml.
Wasn't ContentsXML introduced in 9i?
Is there a way to install 10g without uninstalling 8.1.6 and 8.1.7?
Thanks in advance for any help and/or wisdom you can provide.

This seems to be an oracle inventory problem.
I'm no longer sure where the inventory identifier is on Solaris - on Linux it's held in the /etc/oraInst.loc file. If you can find that, you could blank it out and set up a brand new inventory location for 10g. (Watch out, though, as you need the correct inventory locations when you wan to do patches or DB s/w management for the 8i version. SO back it up before wiping it.)

Daniel,
Again ... my initial response was that I was insulted by the implications: Still am.
Perhaps you are hoping someone else will steal that copywrited material and send it to you? Is that what you are asking?I think your initial response is little bit excessive (IMO). OP didn't say that "Somebody steal the content from metalink and send it to me please". He might requesting specific note id for appropriate document which describes installation in "instant" form.
But do you really think, for even one minute, that anyone who has invested many hundreds of hours into creating a training class is going to send you their materials for free?Somebody called "Linus" and many others invested many hundreds of hours to create OS which you are using for free (and you are recommending it in your posts)... ;-)
What if there is some altruist which could provide the such complex paper for RAC?
Your third post is correct and I absolutely agree with you (except last sentence).
Salman,
you can look to get inspired at "DBA" articles on OTN website (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/tech_dba.html#linux) or RAC SIG site and compare it with official documentation or metalink notes. Only documentation and metalink notes are 100% assurance that your installation/configuration will be supported. And in case of doubts you still can contact Oracle support and consult planned steps/implementation.

10g RAC on VMWare Workstation

Hi Folks,
i tried to install 10g RAC on VMWare 4.5.2 for testing.
Hostsystem is XP, ghost system are RedHat-ES-30.
I configured tho 2 nodes with 2 scsi adapters and 2 Network Card and a shared Disk.
I installed ocfs 1.0.12 on both nodes, formated the disk and it seems to be fine.
On the next step ( Installation of CRS ) the runInstaller fails after the node configuration screen with the message:
Oracle Cluster Registry File can only be saved on a shared filesystem file or on a RAW Device.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
Martin

Hi Laurent,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked that and i can't find the Processes or any think else witch is discribed in thr article !
The Installer pops a message during the creation of the ocr file.
Have any body tried it with RAW Devices ?
Martin

Oracle 10g RAC VMware support

Is Oracle 10g RAC supported in a production VMware environment yet? If not, what is the hold up? VMware is the standard in the industry now and not being able to virtulize is both costly and not practical.

As the previous responder points out, whilst Oracle does not actively certify its products in VMWare environments, it will provide support provided the issue is already known on the guest OS, or it can be reproduced outside a VMWare environment.
I know of many organisations running VMWare with RAC, including my own although we tend NOT to use it in Production environments. Oracle has many resource management capabilities built in to the RDBMS and the Grid Infrastructure which only work well if Oracle has control of all of the resources on a server.
I guess if you're not satisfied with our responses, you should direct your question to Oracle Support rather than this forum. Certification of VMWare is probably as much (or may be mostly) a business decision by Oracle and us Forum members can't generally explain those decisions.

10g RAC - should I use RAW, OCFS and/or ASM ?

I am about to install 10G RAC on RHAS3. Options for sharing disk partitions are raw, OCFS and ASM. The OCR and voting files must be raw or OCFS, I would tend to go for OCFS in this case. For the Oracle datafiles, again, I would tend to go for OCFS simply for ease of management since ASM seems to add another layer of complexity, and raw lacks flexibility. OCFS however is also new technology and may still have some stability issues. I'm not yet sure of our disk configuration, but there will be HBA cards in each machine with one or two SAN partitions, so I don't expect some of the ASM features such as mirroring etc. will be required as this will be done in the hardware. Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences(good or bad) in which way to go ?

We're using raw partitions for some years now, (since oracle 8i, then 9i and now 10g). It is quite flexible, but you shouldn't use physical partitions but LVM. It's very stable.
Now on 10g we're using ASM on some sites where mirroring is needed. It works, but not so stable as raw. we discover some bugs as well.
We've never used OCFS. I don't like it. To much limits. I belive that special utilities are needed for managing files. I don't like linux system software produced by oracle.

10G RAC on AIX without ASM & HACMP.

Hi,
I want to install ORACLE 10G RAC on AIX but I dont want ot use ASM or HACMP/GPFC.
Just want to install with CRS and RAW devices.Is it possible to install 10g RAC with CRS and RAW devices.
What is the best approach for this.
Regards
MMU

We're running CRS on AIX. No ASM or HACMP.
We do have the db datafiles on GPFS. We've also got one voting disk on GPFS and two on raw devices.

CRS-0210: Could not find resource while start ASM on 10G RAC

Dear All
I'm trying to install 10g RAC on Redhat 4.1. At the point at which I try to start ASM it fails with the message
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
select value from v$parameter where name='instance_type'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
This seems to be due to a failure CRS. The trace file shows:
[Thread-11] [17:14:2:907] [HAOperationImpl.runCommand:1254] CRS cmd is: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/bin/crs_stat -u ora.bfhxx-sql012.ASM1.asm
[Thread-41] [17:14:2:964] [StreamReader.run:65] OUTPUT>CRS-0210: Could not find resource ora.bfhxx-sql012.ASM1.asm.
Executing
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/bin/crs_stat
produces:
NAME=ora.bfhxx-sql012.LISTENER_BFHXX-SQL012.lsnr
TYPE=application
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on bfhxx-sql012

TYPE=application
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on bfhxx-sql012
NAME=ora.bfhxx-sql012.vip
TYPE=application
TARGET=ONLINE
STATE=ONLINE on bfhxx-sql012
Is this a red herring or is it the reason ASM won't start? At what point should this entry have been created (ie should it already exist when ASM starts or should ASM create it)? Can I manually create the entry using crsstat.
Many thanks
Paul

It all depends on what your mapping problem was and what you did to resolve it. Here are a couple of things you could try:
-Make sure the orc.loc file on ebdb1 has the same entry as ebdb2. Also, say you are using shared raw devices for CRS: make sure your raw devices are consistent on both nodes.
If the above does not work
-Make sure the shared devices are consistent on both nodes and restore one of the OCR backups. I am sure at least one of the backups 4hrs/8hrs/1day/2day/1week some thing must be a worthwhile. If you do restore OCR from a backup make sure to run cluvfy before you start your CRS.
Always a good practise to take a backup of status quo before you restore from the backups.
It would be interesting to know what lead to your disk mapping problem in the first palce.
Good Luck!

10G RAC: CRS 설치 실패 후 정리 방법
=====================================
PURPOSE
이 문서는, DBA와 기술 지원 엔지니어가 10g RAC의 CRS (Cluster Ready Services)
실패시, 일부 설치된 CRS를 제거하는데 필요한 정보를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.
Explanation
설치에 실패한 CRS는 노드 리부팅과 같은 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다.
실패한 CRS 설치본을 정리하기 위해서는 다음과 같은 절차를 따른다:
1. $ORA_CRS_HOME/install 디렉토리에서 rootdelete.sh 스크립트를 실행한 후 rootdeinstall.sh 스크립트를
실행시킨다. 만약 이 스크립트를 실행시키는데 문제가 있거나, 모든 콤포넌트가 성공적으로 제거되었는지
여부를 확인하려면 step 2로 간다:
2. 모든 노드로 부터 노드 애플리케이션을 중단시킨다:
srvctl stop nodeapps -n <node name>
3. 노드 부팅시 CRS가 구동되는 것을 예방한다. 이를 위해 root 계정에서 다음과 같은 작업을
수행한다 :
Sun:
rm /etc/init.d/init.cssd
rm /etc/init.d/init.crs
rm /etc/init.d/init.crsd
rm /etc/init.d/init.evmd
rm /etc/rc3.d/K96init.crs
rm /etc/rc3.d/S96init.crs
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/scls_scr
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/oprocd
rm /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab
Linux:
rm -f /etc/init.d/init.cssd
rm -f /etc/init.d/init.crs
rm -f /etc/init.d/init.crsd
rm -f /etc/init.d/init.evmd
rm -f /etc/rc2.d/K96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc3.d/K96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc3.d/S96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc5.d/K96init.crs
rm -f /etc/rc5.d/S96init.crs
rm -Rf /etc/oracle/scls_scr
rm -f /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab
HP-UX:
rm /sbin/init.d/init.cssd
rm /sbin/init.d/init.crs
rm /sbin/init.d/init.crsd
rm /sbin/init.d/init.evmd
rm /sbin/rc3.d/K960init.crs
rm /sbin/rc3.d/S960init.crs
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/scls_scr
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/oprocd
rm /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab
HP Tru64:
rm /sbin/init.d/init.cssd
rm /sbin/init.d/init.crs
rm /sbin/init.d/init.crsd
rm /sbin/init.d/init.evmd
rm /sbin/rc3.d/K96init.crs
rm /sbin/rc3.d/S96init.crs
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/scls_scr
rm -Rf /var/opt/oracle/oprocd
rm /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab
IBM AIX:
rm /etc/init.cssd
rm /etc/init.crs
rm /etc/init.crsd
rm /etc/init.evmd
rm /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K96init.crs
rm /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S96init.crs
rm -Rf /etc/oracle/scls_scr
rm -Rf /etc/oracle/oprocd
rm /etc/inittab.crs
cp /etc/inittab.orig /etc/inittab
4. 만약 프로세스가 살아 있다면 EVM, CRS 및 CRS 프로세스를 kill 시키거나
노드를 리부팅 한다:
ps -ef | grep crs
kill <crs pid>
ps -ef | grep evm
kill <evm pid>
ps -ef | grep css
kill <css pid>
5. CRS 설치 디렉토리를 제거한다:
rm -Rf <CRS Install Location>/*
6. Oracle Universal Installer에서 CRS home을 De-install 한다.
7. dd 명령으로 OCR 및 Voting File을 제거한다. 예 :
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/V1064_vote_01_20m.dbf bs=8192 count=2560
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/ocrV1064_100m.ora bs=8192 count=12800
만약 RDBMS 설치를 제거한다면, 사용중이던 ASM 디스크도 정리한다.
8. 만약 CRS를 재 설치하고자 하면, RAC 설치 매뉴얼에 기술된 순서대로 설치를 다시 진행한다.
