Install crs for rac

Hi,
I have somme problems whe i install crs 10g.
I have this error message where i run call D:\oracle\10.2.0\crs/install/crssetup.config.bat
PROT-1: Failed to initialize ocrconfig ocr upgrade failed with (-1)
I d'ont know why
Regards

You don't know why it failed and neither do we based on what you wrote.
1. We don't know what operating system you are using
2. We don't know what version of the Oracle database.
3. We don't know what edition of the Oracle database.
4. We don't know if you ran the cluster verify utility and if so what it reported.
5. We don't know what you intend as your shared storage solution.
What we do know, unequivocally is that the "D" drive is not shared storage as required by RAC.
Provide a full and complete RAC-relevant description of your hardware and operating system environment.

Install CRS and RAC with different users

I' m tring to install CRS and RAC with different users.
It is supported but I don't find documentation.
Have someone experience with this configuration ?
My question are related to permission/own of voting and ocr file.
in this configuration is CRS owner or DB owner that run srvctl commands ?
Thanks !

Yes it is ... check out the RAC FAQ on metalink, and just as Chris metioned the users will need to have the oinstall group as their primary..
"Is it supported to install CRS and RAC as different users.
Yes, CRS and RAC can be installed as different users. The CRS user and the RAC user must both have "oinstall" as their primary group, and the RAC user should be a member of the OSDBA group.

Do we need to install microsoft cluster software for RAC 10G

Hi all,
Our company wants to install ORACLE 10G RAC on windows 2003 R2. Based on the pre-requisites I asked network guys to provide me the shared disk storage from SAN, but they insist that this storage will not be accessible until we have windows clustering software running on top of the two nodes. I want to use oracle clusterware for clustering.
Please let me know how does it work. Do i need to have windows cluster s/w first then install oracle clusterware on these nodes.
Help is as always appreciated
Regards
Aijaz

Hi Aijaz,
You don't need any clusterware beyond Oracle clustware, but if is a requirement to your company you can use another Clusterware to install RAC, if they are supported, check on metalink. The Clusterware from Oracle provide all you need to deploy a Real Application Cluster production environment.
With additional documentation, take a look on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14207/intro.htm#sthref21 for explain more about Oracle Clusteware
Here an excelent guide to install RAC 10g R2 on windows provided by Philip Newlan on http://www.jobcestbon.com/oracle/RacOnWindows.pdf

Rodrigo Mufalani
Ps.: Thank you Philip, this paper is the best that I read based RAC on Windows!!!

Hello, it took a little searching, but I found this in a note in the GRID installation guide for Linux/UNIX:
Public IP addresses and virtual IP addresses must be in the same subnet.
In your case, you are using two different subnets for the VIPs.

Install CRS so ASM can share diskgroups accross instances

I saw a note in a 10.1 document that mentions CRS can be used to allow ASM instances to share disk groups and that this configuration does not require a RAC license if single instance databases are being used.
We have a scenario in our development and test environments where clustered databases are not required but I would like to set up ASM similiar to production for consistency purposes.
Is anyone familiar with this? Is there any difference between this type of CRS install and one for RAC databases?

OK so you start off pretend that you are going to install RAC.
You install the clusterware onto your nodes
Then you install ASM onto your nodes
and create network listeners and ASM instances / diskgroup(s)
Then - you do not install the RAC database
instead you may wish to install a new database home that has RAC linked off and then use dbca to create single instance databases - you put the datafiles on asm by specifying something like +DATA (for the DATA) diskgroup

Solutions for access as ROOT for RAC DBA duties

Our Networking Team and Applications Team are going through some growing pains. We are trying to resolve what permissions should be given to a RAC DBA. Our RAC DBA is responsible for Oracle Clusterware, Oracle Automatic Storage
Management and Oracle RDBMS software. The OS, Server and Storage Subsystem are the responsibility of the System Administrator. We have the following Environment:
Production and Test (RAC)
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 2
Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.2 -- Grid Infrastructure
Oracle ASM 11.2.0.2
Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 EE
Development (Single Instance)
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 2
Oracle ASM 11.2.0.2 -- Grid Infrastructure
Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 EE
As the RAC DBA, I have identified the following areas that require ROOT for RAC and Single Instance DB's; however, I understand there may be more:
diagcollection.pl
- diagnostic tool for Oracle Clusterware and may be requested by Oracle Support
ocrconfig
- to repair ocr configuration issue (add, replace and remove requires root)
srvctl modify
- required root to change ip address
tar
- TAR Grid Infrastructure Directory structure preserving files with ROOT ownership
cluvfy
- cluvfy fix it scripts need to run as ROOT
- some cluvfy commands under 11gr1 would only run properly for -post cfs check as ROOT in our last installation
ASM Libraries
- ROOT required to install and configure ASM libraries
fdisk - l
- this is used to see disks attached which is relevant when ASM disks are not mounted
/etc/sysconfig/oracleasm
- oracleasm loading configuration file
/usr/sbin/oracleasm
- to make disks available to ASMLIB (scandisks etc.)
/usr/sbin/asmtool
- asm config tool due to bug
asm cluster file system
- some commands require ROOT (mounting etc.)
- acfsutil
/var/log/messages
- loading errors ohas and oracleasm would be logged here
cvuqdisk
- needs to be loaded for new install
root.sh
- script needed to run at install, upgrades and patching
oraInstRoot.sh
- script needed to run at install
rootupgrade.sh
- upgrade script
roothas.pl
- upgrade script
ocrcheck
- check for ocr corruption
- corrupt check portion requires ROOT
- oracle local registry
Grid Infrstructure
- .runInstaller from Grid Infrastructure
- includes upgrades
asm configuration assistant (asmca)
- configuration of asm diskgroups
- vol mgr for asm disks
ocrconfig
- ocr configuration tool
- ocr import
- ocr export
- oracle local registry
ocrdump
- used to check ocr backup file
- oracle local registry
opatch
- patching grid control requires ROOT
crsctl
- Startup and Shutdown Oracle Clusterware, Oracle ASM and Database/Instance
- restore voting disk
- restore ocr
- set log for dynamic debugging
- check install periodically
srvctl
- modify nodeapps (ex. ip address change)
- add filesystem (acfs)
What solutions have people found so that RAC DBA can perform responsibilites yet not have ROOT password?

In all the environments I've worked in, I either had direct su access with knowledge of the root password or used sudo. I really can't imagine an environment that would require something other than either of those two options.
In places with stricter auditing requirements we used sudo in conjunction with the sudosh shell wrapper to log all activities to syslog, but this was used by everyone and not just the DBA
Is SUDO the only solutuion? Every command need to be entered into SUDO config files that necessitates ROOT access.
As I demonstrated in the other thread, giving the oracle user sudo access to files that are writable by the oracle user (eg. root.sh) gives them the ability to access to a root shell. It is good to implement a "minimum privileges necessary" policy in your organization but it has to be within reason. The minimum privilege necessary for running and maintaining CRS is root.

How can i create/install oracle 10 rac on my single windows machine

can anyone help me to step by step install oracle 10g rac(rac environment) on my single window machine.
if its not possible then y ?
thxs

Vmware is available for both Windows & Linux.
Secondly you have to decide whether you want the guest OS (OS on which you would configure RAC) to be Windows or Linux ?
And before everything, check your PC configuration. As Tim mentions in those articles, to run this setup, you need lots of RAM n power.
Perhaps 4 GB of RAM and Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz + processor. If you are not having an appropriate configuration, it may not even run properly or your might hit memory dump errors on host OS.

Is a gateway mandatory for RAC environment?

Question:
Is a gateway mandatory for RAC installation, general on RAC environment?
*..when yes, why?*
Many thanks
I make this test with my only one RAC node
1. Run with gateway:
[oracle@linux1 ~]$ crs_stat -t
Name           Type           Target    State     Host
ora....SM1.asm application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora....X1.lsnr application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora.linux1.gsd application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora.linux1.ons application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora.linux1.vip application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora.orcl.db    application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora....l1.inst application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora....test.cs application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora....cl1.srv application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
[oracle@linux1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d orcl
Instance orcl1 is running on node linux1All thing seem correct!
2. run without gateway (blank setting):
[oracle@linux1 ~]$ crs_stat -t
Name           Type           Target    State     Host
ora....SM1.asm application    ONLINE    OFFLINE
ora....X1.lsnr application    ONLINE    OFFLINE
ora.linux1.gsd application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora.linux1.ons application    ONLINE    ONLINE    linux1
ora.linux1.vip application    ONLINE    OFFLINE
ora.orcl.db    application    ONLINE    OFFLINE
ora....l1.inst application    ONLINE    OFFLINE
ora....test.cs application    ONLINE    OFFLINE
ora....cl1.srv application    ONLINE    OFFLINE
[oracle@linux1 ~]$ srvctl status database -d orcl
Instance orcl1 is not running on node linux1Something is false!

By default, the server's default gateway is used as a ping target during the Oracle RAC 10g VIP status check action.
Upon a ping failure, Oracle will decide that the current interface where the VIP is running has failed, and will initiate
an interface / internode VIP failover.
In above case, we used just one node for CRS installation, so the VIP coudn't failover to other nodes and thus reported additional error like :
CRS-1006: No more members to consider
CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.dbtest2.vip'.
Try ->
A parameter FAIL_WHEN_DEFAULTGW_NOT_FOUND in the file
$ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/racvip to address this problem.
The following steps will fix the VIP starting problem for above mentioned scenario.
1- stop nodeapps
2- As root,
vi the script $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/racgvip and change the value of
variable FAIL_WHEN_DEFAULTGW_NOT_FOUND=0 .
3- start nodeapps and you should see the resources ONLINE
You may proceed with netca and dbca to create a RAC database after this.

Install Oracle 11G, RAC with VMWare, APPS R12, and OBIEE on one server?

Dear Experts,
I'm looking to upgrade my skills, and want to learn more of:
Oracle 11G, RAC, VMWare, APPS R12, and OBIEE
My server has two quad cores (8 CPU altogether) and 16 gigs of RAM.
Years ago, I took a shots at installing RAC on multiple servers and firewire.
One thing I remember was that after I installed RAC, I was not able to use the database unless I enabled all the RAC processes on the server. So, I was not able to just boot the database and use it in the traditional single server manner.
Which I will also want to do.
1) Does this symptom/aspect/characteristic of RAC install still exist?
2) Is it realistic to install all this software on one server?
If so, what is the order of operations for the install?
3) If I have to prioritize, I'd like to install
Oracle 11G, OBIEE, and APPS R12,
Would installing R12 and OBIEE on the same server present any conflicts or issues?
If not, what is the order of operations for the install?
11G, R12, then OBIEE?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
1) Does this symptom/aspect/characteristic of RAC install still exist?No.
2) Is it realistic to install all this software on one server?
If so, what is the order of operations for the install?For learning/traning/demonstration purpose you can Install all these software on same machine.
3) If I have to prioritize, I'd like to install
Oracle 11G, OBIEE, and APPS R12,
Would installing R12 and OBIEE on the same server present any conflicts or issues?
If not, what is the order of operations for the install?
11G, R12, then OBIEE?There will not be any conflicts. I would suggest you to select vmware or virtual box in order to configure all these sw's.
I have done such a configuration on my laptop with i7 Quad processor, 16GB RAM and 640 GB HDD.
I have Installed 2 node RAC, 2 Node ERP and all are running smoothly without any issues.

Install Oracle Clusterware/RAC Windows x32bit or Windows 64bit ?

Hi,
What is your suggestion to install Oracle Clusterware RAC on Windows.
Why choose Windows 32 bit ?
Why choose Windows 64 bit?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Hi,
I definitely recommend 64bit Windows, the principal reason is memory addressing limitation.
In my standpoint do not exist benefits to use Windows 32bit with Oracle Clusterware/RAC.
32-bit processors have address registers that are 32-bits wide (can address up to 4GB physical RAM).
You can to use a workaround by enabling the addressing of more than 4GBytes using parameters in Windows (AWE/PAE). But if I want to use more than 4Gbytes, I'll go to Windows 64bit.
The 4GB addressable space per process is divided into system and user space. By default, the system space is 2GB and the private user space is 2GB. Each user process shares the same 2GB System address space.
The services of the Clusterware, ASM and Listener will consume at least 1Gbyte of memory initially.
If you create an instance to to use 1Gbytes and you have 50 connections you will have problems with connections to the database raising the following error.
TNS-00510: Internal limit restriction exceeded
32-bit Windows Error: 8: Exec format error
TNS-00507: Connection closed
32-bit Windows Error: 109: Unknown errorReason: Problems of memory usage. i.e. Out of Memory.
Another point:
With Windows 32-bit using Clusterware/RAC 11.1 you can set Automatic Memory Management(AMM) feature (MEMORY_TARGET) but you cannot use if you create 2 Instances on same Host.
Check this note..
*ORA-27102, OSD-00031 Unable To Extend Memory_max_target And Memory_target Past 2GB [ID 842881.1]*
Oracle Solution: Please install the 64-bit OS on 64-bit server, hence there is no memory limitations
I belive that is reason wich Oracle not support Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2 on Windows 32-bit. You cannot use ASM 11.2 on Windows 32-bit.
Definitely do not exist reason for me to to use Windows 32bit to support Oracle Clusterware.
There are lot services involved wich require memory and a big limitation of memory on 32-bit.
At present all latest CPUs support 64bit. Then install Oracle Clusterware/RAC x64, even when you are use less than 4GBytes memory, you only have benefits.
Benefits of Use 64-bit are:
64-bit versions of Windows have implemented up to 16 terabytes of virtual address space
64-bit programs use the 16 terabyte tuning model (8TB user / 8TB kernel)
No performance penalties for large memory
Unlimited user connectivity
64-bit Windows versions allow addressing of large physical memory sizes without using PAE
*Windows Memory Configuration: 32-bit and 64-bit [ID 873752.1]*
This document gives a better understanding of my perspective.
