Install 10gR2 RAC with RH4AS + VM Ware Server Beta (Free version)

Have anyone ever tried to use VM Ware Server Beta (free download version) with RH4 for the 10g 2-node RAC installation - without use of the kit provided by Oracle?
I just finished setup the VMWare server and wonder whether or not it will work with 10g RAC if I follow the Oracle-on-Linux VMware Cookbook.
Any instruction or guidedance is greatly appreciated.
Ittichai

I started testing on my 1G RAM XP machine with use of shared disk. The installation went very slow to the point never completed. I'm looking into a bigger machine right now. Will keep this thread posted. What is the spec of machine you're using?

Hyper-V Role deployement with MDT2013 on a Server 2012R2 Trial Version

Hello,
when i deploy a custom image that i add the roles install Hyper-V, everything works fine, added the SkipRoles=Yes,
and the role Hyper-V is installed at the end of my new server 2012R2 Trial version, HOWEVER,
there's no icon that appears on the desktop, on the manager, the Hyper-V Manager option is not there,
all the Hyper-V related services are installed.
Seems there's a GUI issue, however in server manager the roles appear on the left side
I reboot, and yet nothing appears, i uninstall the Hyper-V role manually, reboot, re-install manually and the missing shortcuts appear.
Can someone provide me a hint to fix this, i've tested other roles and they also don't appear (DNS).
Thanks in advance for your replys

You are talking about two different things here. The Hyper-V Core, and the Hyper-V Tools. It appears that you want both. Run the following command:
dism.exe /online /get-features
and verify that all hyper-v components are installed:
Feature Name : Microsoft-Hyper-V
State : Enabled
Feature Name : Microsoft-Hyper-V-Offline
State : Enabled
Feature Name : Microsoft-Hyper-V-Online
State : Enabled
Feature Name : RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools-Feature

10gR2 RAC with SUN V890 and SUN M5000

I would like to build a 10gR2 2 node RAC with a SUN Fire V890 (8CPUs 1.8GHz UltraSPARC IV+) and a new SUN M5000 (8CPUs SPARC64).
The CPUs of the systems are different but run the same OS binaries (Solaris for SPARC10 08/07).
Is these configuration supportet?

You can setup a cluster with different hardware architectures underlying to the cluster and you should not have any problem with the above configuration.

Is it posssible to install two RACs with different version on one IBM HACMP

The version of HACMP is 5.4. The version of Oracle database can be 9i or 10g, or both are 10g.
thansk a lot

Hi,
We have an oracle 10g database configured with RAC. We also have an oracle 9i that is not configured with RAC. You mean that if I want to install another RAC on the HACMP, I need upgrade to 10g. Rigth?What i understand from your above point is : you want to configure your 9i database with IBM HACMP cluster, if its so then u need not have to upgrade to 10g or RAC i can straight away finish this task.
Contact your HACMP vendor for steup and technical documents for settingup HACMP on 9i database.
I think your doubt is now cleared.

Rolling Upgrade of Oracle 10gR2 RAC with Physical Standby (DG)

Hi DBAs,
I want to do a rolling upgrade of Oracle 10.2.0.3 (2 node RAC+ASM) with Physical Standy Dataguard to Oracle 10.2.0.4 also applying CPU (April2009).
Please suggest the best way to perform this upgrade and patching with no downtime.
Thanks
-Samar-

Unfortunately rolling upgrade is only possible with a logical standby in place:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/upgrades.htm#CHDBJAGG
That doesn't help you at this time, but 11g has a way to do it with a physical standby. Even here you need an intermediate logical standby:

Installing Workflow Notification with Gmail as email server...IMAP4

I'm trying to install notification for Workflow and instructions say to use an IMAP4 type of mail server connection, not just IMAP. This is all through the Oracle Application Manager web interface.
We use a special type of Gmail hosting for our company email and I've tried all kinds of combinations of server naming but the Workflow Notification service never succeeds in connecting and then the server never starts up.
Has anyone succeeded in using Gmail for an IMAP4 type incoming email system?
I do have an option to use MS Exchange and may try that if easier...any problems with setting up MS Exchange with Workflow Notification?

Oracle Workflow supports IMAP version 4 (IMAP4) compliant mail servers.

Restore Oracle DB Backup on RAC with ASM on Standalone server

Dear Experts,
We have our Production Enviornment on Linux as OS and Oracle DB on RAC and ASM. We are taking the backup through DB13 of Production system.
We want to rectify whether the above backup is restorable or not. For this, we want to restore the backup on Single Standalone system without RAC and ASM.
My questions is 1) Is it possible to restore database from RAC and ASM to normal Standalone server ?
2) If possible, can anyone let me know the challenges we could face during the same procedure.
Looking forward for suggestions.
Regards,
KK

Hi Ketul,
I suppose restoration can be done to standalone system using brtools.
Refer steps in
SAP note 1627541 - BR*Tools support for Oracle ASM and Exadata/ODA

Hope this helps.

Installing Encore CS6 with Premiere CC 2014 - Not in Previous Versions

I have a new computer and am ready to install Premiere/Encore/AME. From what I understand, in order to install Encore, it's recommended to use the Creative Cloud desktop app, and click the "Previous Versions" button to see the CS6 version of Premiere. From that point, you can choose to install just Encore. To be clear, I have not installed Premiere CC 2014 or AME yet. So when I click the "previous versions" button, the only two programs that appear are Edge Animate CC and Gaming SDK. No Premiere option. If I'm looking under "all apps", I can see Premiere Pro CC 2014, but not an option for CS6. Is there another place I can download Encore CS6?

Same problem. When I select "Previous Version", the only apps with previous versions available are Bridge, Edge Animate and Gaming SDK. No CS6 versions show up at all.
I tried the process described above to log out, quit cc, rename the opm.db file, then log back in. But I am unable to log back into CC. (Or rather I am immediately logged back out again.)
Maybe this is because I am using an enterprise version of CC??? Mac OS X 10.10.2

10gR2 RAC installation: OUI forgets to create directory 'crs/auth' (BUG)

Hi,
We've got a new installed 10gR2 RAC cluster (2 nodes) on AIX. But there were several errors during startup of CRS (Cluster Ready Services).
The error log shows, that it couldn't write a special file (I guess a lock file).
So I just created the missing directory 'crs/auth' and anything works fine now.
This post is just for those who are looking for a solution for their non-working crs daemon. No need to answer.
But I suppose Oracle should log it as an installation bug, because the Universal Installer does not create this directory and so the CRS can not work.
Best regards
Sven

it looks like i hit a bug in crs 11.1.0.6 -> bug 6782573

Solaris 10 + Oracle 10gR2 RAC question

Hello everyone
Has anyone come across the case where the CRS services of Oracle cause
the public interface to get turned off and then restored at random
time intervals? To elaborate, we have a 2 node cluster database.
Solaris 10, Oracle 10gR2 RAC with patch 10.2.0.3 applied. No SUN
clustering is involved. When the cluster software is down (nodeapps,
asm, database instances all down) /var/adm/messages show nothing. When
we start nodeapps on the 2 nodes(thus initiating some form of
communication between the nodes), at random time intervals we get
"interface ce0 turned off and interface ce0 restored" in /var/adm/
messages. When we check the status of the RAC, we see that one node's
vip has been assigned to the other. This on/off behaviour of the NIC
can be eliminated only if we continuously PING it from a another
client in the network.
As a matter of fact, the RAC and the RDBMS work perfectly when we keep
pinging the 2 nodes from an other client on the network. We even
managed to run a long batch job, distributed on cluster managed
services on the 2 instances, and it completed after 9 hours without
any problems.
Does anyone have a hint on this behaviour? Is there some sort of
timeout for the network cards? Some power saving features? Googling
around I came across the new Containers feature available on Solaris
10. Is there a way that I can verify that either RAC or the RDBMS is
running in "container" mode ( since the solaris and Oracle
installation was not performed by me)? Any other ideas?
Thank you for reading

Im an Oracle guy - not the SA type -
But on ours - the SA configured this cluster incorrectly. We use veritas. instead of making ipmp groups for the interfaces - he built the cluster according to veritas docs. That is - he has two publics - on difference interfaces and different privates on different interfaces. oracle can only two interfaces - no matter if its a ipmp group or a device name. one is used for private- the other is used for public - So sure the veritas cluster filesystems will survive - but the Oracle Cluster will not - nodes will reboot -
Is your system set up incorrectly as i described above? if it is - a quick test would be - turn down the other interfaces - and only leave the two interfaces you mention above up that you configured for Oracle CRS
This other sharp sa was able to go through the arp table and see duplicate IPs - and the routing was attempted via an interface that oracle doesnt see. You can not define two different interfaces public - and two different interfaces for private -

How to convert single instance10g db to 11gR2 RAC with ASM

Hi,
I need your help to decide the plan about how to convert single instance 10g database to 11gr2 rac with asm.
I can have about 6 to 8 hours of downtime to upgrade and move to rac with asm.
db size is about 1.5tb and on AIX.
here is my plan....
1) install 11gr2 rac with asm on two nodes
2) verify rac installation and clustered asm
3)install 10g oracle binaries( yes 10g )
4) shutdown production db ( machine prod )
5) make copy of production and restore on 1st node ( using shadow image , so it's quick and its file system )
6) upgrade db to 11g ( still of file system )
7) after successful upgrade, move to asm ( rman backup )
8) add another node
does it look okay ? OR is there a better approach to save time?
can someone help me ?
Thanks...

Thanks ...
So here is what I thought... suggest if something is not right...
1) install 11gr2 grid infra on node A and B with ASM
2) stop CLUSTER ON BOTH NODES.
3) shutdown prod db on 10g ( downtime starts )
4) take rman cold backup
5) restore rman backup on node A on ASM ( as if single instance 11g , no rac parameters )
6) mount and run upgrade script for 11g, then open db with 11
7) after successful upgrade, shutdown db node A
8) change all rac related parameters, spfile,undo,redo for rac environment on both nodes
9) open db in rac environment
can I do this way ?
My only question is, even though I installed rac on node A and B, in step 5 and 6 I'm using only node A as if it is single instance. Is it possible ?
if it is then I'm good to go...
Thanks for all suggestions.

Oracle10g RAC with Oracle clusterware

Hi,
We are installing Oracle10g RAC with Oracle clusterware with ASM on Solaris 10. Does anybody have a installation/configuration manual for this combination.
Thanks,
Murtuja

Sun would not recommend using Oracle 10g RAC without Sun Cluster. Setup for that configuration would be found in the Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle 10g RAC and the Oracle installation manuals.
The installation of Oracle Clusterware alone would be documented in Oracle's manuals. If you have any problems with that, you are better off asking Oracle.

Tim
