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.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Q) Can Oracle 11g Release 2 RAC be installed on Solaris (x86)??yes, you can Install it on Solaris X86
Q) Can the links of Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base?? As i haven't seen any doc for installing 11g RAC on Solaris, where as it was provided in Oracle 10g.yes, you need to consider Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base as base document.

Install Oracle 11g 2 with response file

Using the steps detailed here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24187/advance.htm I was able to create a response file for Oracle client 11.2.0.1.win32. I created the response file by starting a manual installation (On a Windows 7 client) and then clicking on the option to create and save a response file. I exited out of the Oracle install before completing it.
I then used this response file during a Windows 7 unattended install using this at the command prompt: setup.exe -silent -nowelcome -nowait -noconfig - responseFile [location]
My question is how do I set up variables in the response file so that it will work on installs for other users?
# This variable holds the hostname of the system as set by the user.
# It can be used to force the installation to use an alternative
# hostname rather than using the first hostname found on the system
# (e.g., for systems with multiple hostnames and network interfaces). ORACLE_HOSTNAME=[HOW DO I SETUP A VARIABLE HERE FOR THE USER'S PCNAME?]
# Complete path of the Oracle Home ORACLE_HOME=C:\app\[HOW DO I SETUP A VARIABLE FOR THE USER's FOLDER HERE?]\product\11.2.0\client_1
# Complete path of the Oracle Base. ORACLE_BASE=C:\app\[HOW DO I SETUP A VARIABLE FOR THE USER's FOLDER HERE?]
What variables can I use so that I can use a single response file for multiple users?

I know no way of doing so, but I am not a Windows expert. For the last two parameters (ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE), it is best practice to have these values the same across multiple machines, for ease of maintainability - think of future maintenance scripts you will likely have to write - if these parameters are the same across many computers, your scripting would be much easier/simpler/cleaner

How to Create Manual Standby for a Oracle 11g RAC with ASM to Single Instan

Hi All,
I have a task to configure a Single Instance Standby Database with ASM for 2-node Primary RAC+ASM database.
Version using : 11.1.0.6 Oracle 11g --- *" STANDARD EDITION "* Please note datagaurd will not be supported in standard edition.
Primary database - 2 -Node RAC using ASM storage (All datafiles, redologs, controfile and archive logs)
Need to setup a single instance standby database manually and than using scripts to transfer the archive logs from primary server to standby server to do recovery time to time.
Please let me know if there are any configuration document(s) which can help me to set the manual standby? or need your kind help to give your valuable ideas how to go in above situation.
Thanks in advance

Well if the archive logs are stored in ASM on the primary nodes, you almost definitely want to be using RMAN to access them. Then to transfer between primary and standby there are many options, this is essentially the step that Data Guard takes care of - so if you (and I) are running Standard Edition, this is the part to "worry" about.
I'm not really sure what you mean by this:
As in standard edition the archive destination will be on ASMI don't think the Edition of Oracle (Standard or Enterprise) dictates where and how you store your archive logs, but it's possible I've misunderstood what you mean...SE dictates that database storage for RAC will be ASM, including archive log files. Anything else is not officially supported. I haven't tested but it may be that you can use LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST to specify a local filesystem for archive log files as well.
If that doesn't work you'll have to script rman "backup as copy" jobs regularly and then transport the results of that.

By the way, it seems Robert has been pretty helpful, it's polite to give him some points dude. And since this is your thread, not mine, give him a "helpful" from me too :p
El DBA
Incidentally if you are forced down the RMAN backup as copy route then this will likely throw your current backup retention strategy somewhat, you'll need to think carefully about when an archivelog can be deleted following backup, how many times it might be backed up and so on. I do understand, and have argued for, the use of SE RAC. I also understand and have argued for and implemented manually managed standby a number of times. However by the time your primary database is a RAC instance and you need a standby for DR etc then you really have to look very seriously at whether Standard Edition is still the right investment or not. You will be spending a lot of DBA time managing and troubleshooting this, and you will find that it is less reliable than the off the shelf solution. I suspect that you are very close to the point where an EE installation becomes a worthwhile investment here.

Oracle 11G RAC with EBS ---

Hello All,
I have couple of questions -
We have enterprise edition database..
1. Can we go with 11gR2 RAC without ASM?
2. Can i use LUN's for RAC?
Please let me know.

1. Can we go with 11gR2 RAC without ASM?Yes. But it would be plain stupid IMO. Like racing a superbike and deciding to not wear a helmet, kneepads and safety gear.
ASM only has advantages. It would very foolish to throw these out of the window. If you do - well, then you will likely stuff up the rest of the RAC architecture too, like using a 100Mbit Ethernet for the Interconnect, decide that private switches for the Interconnect is not worth it and so on.
And then blame the lack of robustness and performance of that RAC cluster on Oracle?
2. Can i use LUN's for RAC? Of course. ASM/Oracle does not care what the actual device is. It can be scsi target device. It can be a LUN made visible via EMC's Powerpath or Linux's Multipath. It can be character bound raw devices. Etc.
The kernel and driver stack deals with the technical side of that device - and that device (LUN or whatever) is then made visible to application s/w (like ASM and the Oracle RDBMS). This software uses the standard I/O interface of the kernel for reading from and writing to that device.

I tried reinstalling again and it worked on Vmware Server.Some oracle products are certified on Oracle VM , but not RAC at the moment.
You can download Oracle VM from otn.oracle.com

Requeriments OS for installation Oracle 11g RAC in Windows 2003

I plan to install Oracle 11g Standard with RAC in Windows 2003 Server.
I will use 2 nodes with the same OS.
I will use a SAN with fibre channel, to store the DB.
It is possible to install Oracle RAC in W2003 Standard ?
I need obligatory W2003 Enterprise?
The cluster of the 2 nodes is made by OS or by Oracle Clusterware?
Thanks in advance.

You can install on Windows 2003 Standard, it works with this OS. On the other hand the cluster is configured by the oracle clusterware. You need to make absolutely sure you are able to write from both nodes to the shared storage. Specific details on the regedit parameters you have to configure and specific OS issues are detailed at the above reference Werner posted.

Installing Oracle 11g R2 on RHEL 5.9 server

Hi,
    I've been trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 server but have not succeeded thus far. The server meets all the software and hardware requirements for Oracle 11g Release 2 and when it also has all the prerequisite packages/ RPM's on it, when checked manually. I have set up the various kernel, semaphore and local port range parameters in accordance with the Oracle guides for installing Oracle on RHEL 5. I also followed the online guides to create the "oracle" user and set up the groups (oinstall, dba, oper and asm).
    However, when I run the installer, it shows "Failed" for all the prerequisite checks. I tried to ignore this and install Oracle but it failed at 37% and gave multiple errors, related to invoking target 'XYZ' of different files including makefile and gcc.
     I suspect that either the installer is unable to detect these packages as they already exist on our server or it is something to do around permissions to the groups. I read on these forums that it might be because of a "cvu" folder created inside /tmp that requires '777' permission but am not sure if that's what's causing our installation to fail.
     Please let me know how to proceed with the installation and guide me through this.
Thanks.

Hi, its Oracle 11g R2 - 2.0.3.6 .
The O.S is Linux x86_64
server: RHEL 5.9 (Takinga) with kernel: 2.6.18
I've been working on this all day today and have managed to overcome the errors regarding the missing/ failed packages. I've also verified that my kernel parameters are correct; I had missed the kernel shmmni parameter yesterday.
The installer now detects all the packages & runs till 86% when it gives the error: "error invoking target client_sharedlib of makefile".
Kindly let me know how to proceed. Thanks in advance !

Experiences with Oracle 10g/11g RAC on VMWare Fusion for Macbook and OEL 5

Folks,
I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro laptop computer to use for demos and testing with Oracle RAC. I am using VMWare Fusion for Mac OS X to setup new VM machines with Oracle 11g.
Thus far, I can setup single instance Oracle 11g database fine with OEL 5 (32 bit OS) as the guest OS. The problem that I keep running into due to the limitation with VMWare Fusion product is that I am not able to edit the VMWare network settings to allow multiple VM machines to communicate with each other. The second main issue that I currently face is that VMWare Fusion does not allow you to setup shared disks which are a requirement to install and configure an Oracle RAC environment. I came to the realization that after searching forums online that
one must setup a third VM machine to act as an NFS or iSCSI filer system to present to the other VM hosts for the shared storage requirement for RAC. Has anyone been able to do all
of this successfully with VMWare Fusion on a Macbook ? If so, I would definitely be interested in finding out how you did this. Specifically the following:
1. Network configuration for each VMWare Fusion guest OS machine
2. Shared storage ie) NFS or OpenFiler VM machine

Ben

Please guide me the best approach for the RAC configuration on VMware EXS 3.5 Win 2008 R2 Guest servers.
any help will be highly appreceiated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Is this implementation to production environment?
Be aware:
Is Oracle RAC on VMware supported? No, we do not support Oracle Software including Oracle RAC on VMWare.
Aside from the support restrictions for the database on VMWare outlined in Metalink Note 249212.1, there are technical restrictions that prevent the certification of Oracle RAC in a VMWare environment.

Oracle-10g RAC on VMware installed on Windows-7(Host)

Hi,
My host OS is Windows-7. Docs. posted on this forum for RAC on VMware says: your Host OS should be Centos OS and in which you will install VMware and Client tools also. In this way u can clone another RAC2 machine.
But I have Oracle VM Virtual Box installed on Windows-7. Another is VMware Player installed on Windows-7.
I want to install Oracle-10g RAC on my Laptop. Please any suggestions or Docs. related to this.

Hi,
while this is a documentation of 11gR2 it gives enough information on how to setup a RAC in a VBox environment:
