Installing oracle 11.2 rac with IBM Storwize V7000 san with aix 6.1

Has and one deployed 11g rac with IBM Storwize V7000 san with aix 6.1
Is this possible using Oracle CRS without going for OS cluster like GPFS

Hi lbn76,
Has and one deployed 11g rac with IBM Storwize V7000 san with aix 6.1
Is this possible using Oracle CRS without going for OS cluster like GPFS
I hope same thing will work with AIX 6.1 alsoNo problem, the procedure of installation of clusterware is the same in any AIX Platform.
If you are using Clusterware 11.2 you can (should) use ASM Diskgroup to place your clusterware files and database files. If you want use Cluster Filesystem to any other purpose you can use ACFS feature of ASM.
The Storage will be transparent to the ASM, the Luns will be mapped to AIX and ASM (Oracle) will manage the read and write.
The Storage Storwize have several great features, but are transparent to the ASM. The ASM will only see the LUNs provided by AIX.

also before you do what is suggested on the url posted by Mufalani,
it seems that you should do the following:
Check existence of udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
On RH/EL5, udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules should exist by default as part of the util-linux package, for example:
# ls /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rulesCreate a custom udev raw mapping rule file, /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules say, for example:
# touch /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules3b. Add udev raw binding rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file
Add the udev raw binding rules to the /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file, for example:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules
# Raw bind to Oracle Clusterware devices

Note, the script does not factor device name persistency.

Installing Oracle 9.2 RAC on RHEL 3

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle 9.2 RAC on RHEL 3 (kernel 2.6.4) with NFS as shared stored device.
I follow W.Puschitz instructions (installing 9i on RHEL AS 3 and installing Oracle 9i RAC on RHEL AS 2.1).
Problem :
cluster manager oracm only starts on one RAC node. If I start oracm on a second RAC node, it crashes.
Please, help.

I am not sure if NFS works perfectly with RAC as a Shared storage. Give it a shot by using FireWire shared storage using OCFS or Raw files.
I had success with OCFS using FireWire shared storage.
Thanks
Chandra

Install Oracle Linux + 11G Rac (itanium) HELP

Hello, sorry for the English ...
I have 2 hp server rx2620 itanium, mas1000 and should do tests to install oracle 11g rac linux oracle, but on linux I can not, someone can give me some advice or guide on the internet? my question is how to share the disk, so that the 2 servers are able to see them, I use ASMLib?
2 hp Server rx2620 itanium (4 NICs + 2 fiber channel cards)
MSA1000 (2 100gb disks to be shared) Fibre Channel
Oracle Linux 5.5 IA64
Oracle 11g Grid
Oracle Database 11g
Sorry and thanks.

There does not seen to be much current development in this area. Oracle Linux 5.5 is apparently the last version available. I would ask Oracle support about current and future plans to support the IA64 bit platform. Perhaps you might rather want to use HP Unix instead of Linux. Apparently Red Hat is no longer going to support the IA64 platform according to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/18/redhat_rhel6_itanium_dead. Oracle Stops All Software Development For Intel Itanium Microprocessor (March 2011) http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/346696
I think this might actually be another example of a silly development in the IT industry, where customers prefer cheaper, often more trivial solutions, over more expensive superior solutions. The majority of customers is apparently buying into the the Intel x86-64 architecture to support x86 CISC based software like MS windows, thinking a x86-64 CPU is just as powerful as a IA 64-bit CPU.
Regrading your question to share the disks, you need hardware that supports device sharing and a cluster file system. There are several options for hardware, typically fiber-channel, iSCSI and the older differential (HVD) SCSI for SAN and even NFS can apparently be used with a certified NAS storage. MSA1000 should be fine. Oracle provides OCFS2 cluster filesystem and you can also use ASM. You don't necessarily need ASMLib, but need to setup multipath or udev. How to setup the MSA1000 for shared storage should be in the Storage controller manual.

Error while installing Oracle 11g R2 RAC

Hi,
I am getting following error while trying to provide Oracle software locatio.
[INS-20702] Unexpected Internal driver error
Cause - A call to cluster verification utility failed.
Following are the steps i have followed:
1. Using NFS mount created a share mount point between two nodes.
2. Used OCFS2 for OCR
3. Pointed local location at the time of installing Grid infrastructure.
4. After executing rootInventory.sh and root.sh using root user on both nodes i could not able to create any folder in NFS mount and OCR location.
5. Used NFS mount point /u01/app/...etc location for Oracle software location at the time of software installation.
Observed the above error.
Note: Got the same error when tried to give "grid" location at the time of "Grid software" location, so re-directed it to local home. But able to see the same content in the another node aswell.
Please Help me

Cause
Common cause is OS user who is performing the installation doesn't have write access to file in /tmp/CVU_11.2.0.1.0_user folder.
For example, if oracle is the user that's performing installation but couldn't write to file in /tmp/CVU_11.2.0.1.0_oracle, the error will be reported.
Solution
To fix the issue, remove folder /tmp/CVU_11.2.0.1.0_user and try runInstaller again.
For more information, see the Oracle Metalink document: 970166.1

1.) For some reason I cannot get the mappings to work correctly, I have rebooted the server and tried a number of different changes in the rules script. But for the life of me I cannot get it work.
I noticed when I rebooted the server that it failed to execute the iscsidev. When I manually run the shell script with a parameter it produces output
Can anyone help me to get this up and running?
2.) My QNAP Nas doesnt seem to publish iSCSI targets to only one NIC. I think this is down to the firmware/feature not being available. When I discover targets I get the following

Best practice for oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM

Did any one tried/installed Oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM and CRS ?
What is the best practice?
1. separate home for CRS, ASM and Oracle Database?
2. separate home for CRS and same home for ASM and Oracle Darabase?
we set up the test environment with separate CRS, ASM and Oracle database homes, but we have tons of issues with the listener, spfile and tnsnames.ora files. So, seeking advise from the gurus who implimeted/tested the same ?

I am getting ready to install the 10gR2 database software (10gR2 Clusterware was just installed ) and I want to have a home for ASM and another for database as you suggest. I have been told that 10gR2 was to have a smaller set of binaries that can be used for the ASM home ... but I am not sure how I go about installing it. The first look at the installer does not seem to make it obvious...Is it a custom build option?

Can I install oracle VM server with lvm and md raid?

Hello,
I am trying to install oracle vm server 2.1.2 on a server with md raid and I would like to use lvm on it. It seems to me that the installer md raid support is not working and lvm support is missing.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Mario Giammarco

Hi,
now i understand...
hm - if the install does let you create a raid ( mdraid ) -> you can try to setup the system preconfigured by anaconda...
the lines would be like following:
part swap size 8000 asprimary --ondisk cciss/c0d0
part swap size 8000 asprimary --ondisk cciss/c0d1
part /boot fstype ext3 size 200 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d0
part / fstype ext3 size 14750 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d0
part /appl fstype ext3 size 30000 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d1
part raid.01 size 1000 grow --ondisk cciss/c0d0
part raid.02 size 1000 grow --ondisk cciss/c0d1
raid /disk/disk1 level 0 device=md0 --fstype ext3 raid.01 raid.02
-> check out the your anaconda file: #/root/anaconda*
-> -> modify the part lines and setup a anaconda installer...
( would also a better idea - if you like to install standarized systems )
let me know - if you need assistance with anaconda...

Installing Standard Edition wih RAC

Hi@all,
actually I'm trying to install Oracle Database Standard Edition 12c (12.1.0.2) with RAC Option on a two nodes Cluster. Both machines are running on Oracle Linux 7 and Oracle Clusterware / GI 12c (12.1.0.2) is also installed. What makes me confused is, that I can't select the Standard Edition. But why? I think, RAC Option is also available in Standard Edition. And no, I didn't select Rac One Node Option, I know, that is just for Enterprise Edition.
Thanks a lot and regards,
Dave

OK, thanks a lot for your answers, here are mine to that:
- we've just 2 CPU's in each node of the Cluster
- On the page Oracle Database Software Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle I just get the Enterprise Edition for 12.1.0.2. I think, the Standard Edition will be available on OTN or so for 12.1.0.2? Are the Editions now splitted with the installers for 12.1.0.2?
- Which Options should I've select on the before screens which will exclude the Standard Edition? The first screens before that where you can decide over the Editions are: The Support Screen => I've entered no mail address, "Installation Option" => Install database software only, "Grid Installation Options" => Oracle Real Application Clusters database installation, "Select List of Nodes" => I've selected my two nodes, Language ?=> english. And that's all. Which of these options would exclude Standard Edition?
Thanks a lot and Regards,
Dave

Oracle 11g R2 RAC on vmware

Hi All,
I have read many blogs and article about installing Oracle 11g R2 RAC on vmware. For self learning process what should be minimum configuration of hardware.
Minimum physical memory will be 8 GB what is minumum processor required ( 2 Cores / 4 Threads) or ( 4 Cores / 8 Threads)?
Native operating system will be Windows 7 64 bit.
Thx.

You wouldn't be doing much with the processors so it won' t matter hugely having a dual or quad core. As long as there is sufficient RAM(like 8gig) , you should be fine. Try to get SSD if you want more faster performance from the machine in terms of IO.

Oracle SID on RAC

Hi All,
I want to clear some confusions that I have about Oracle SID on RAC having 3 nodes.
We have installed Metadata repository on RAC and 3 nodes for communicating with RAC DB and 1 IM. We also have 3-MTs for messaging services.
My question is:
there should be Single Oracle SID in RAC or 3 for each node of database communicating with RAC.
Thanks,
Saqib

One service surely, a SID will lock you into a particular node. Create a service with whatever parameters you require -e.g MRHA and then set up your JDBC/TNS for that.

Is VMPlayer3 supported by Oracle DB 11gR2 RAC system ?

Folks,
Hello. I have been running Oracle regular ( a single instance) Database 11gR1 successfully with Oracle Linux 5.6 as Guest OS in VMPlayer3 and with Windows 7 as Host OS for a long time.
Now, I am installing Oracle Database 11gR2 RAC system (2 nodes) in the same environment that is with Oracle Linux 5.6 as Guest OS in VMPlayer3 and with Windows 7 as Host OS.
I have installed Clusterware for 2 nodes. But it seems that VMPlayer3 is not supported by Oracle DB 11gR2 RAC system.
Only VMware Server 2.0.2 is supported. When I install VMware Server2.0.2 in Windows 7, the error message comes up as follows:
"Setup has detected that VMPlayer is already installed on this machine. Please uninstall this product through the Control Panel and try again."
This means we cannot installed VMPlayer3 and VMware Server 2.0.2 in one OS Windows 7. I have installed many VMs in VMPlayer3 and cannot uninstalled VMPlayer3.
My questions are:
Can any folk make sure whehter VMPlayer3 is supported by Oracle DB 11gR2 RAC system or not ?
If not, how to solve the issue that VMPlayer3 and VMware Server 2.0.2 cannot be installed in one OS Windows 7 ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. As I know, VMPlayer 3 supports Oracle Linux 5.6 as Guest OS and Windows 7 as Host OS.
But when I am installing Clusterware and running the script root.sh, the error message comes up as follows:
"ADVM/ACFS is not supported on Oracle Linux-release-5-6-6.0.1".
My questions are:
First, what is ADVM/ACFS about ?
Second, can any folk make sure whether Oracle DB 11gR2 RAC system is compatible to run in Oracle Linux-release-5-6-6.0.1 in VMPlayer 3 with Windows 7 as Host OS ?
Thanks.

Is it possible to install oracle clusterware on top of rh cluster suite

Dear All,
We are planning to install oracle 10g / 11g RAC Clusterware on top of RH CLuster Suite in order to support the scalability on connecting servers. Is it possible to do the same. If it so either it is good approach or bad approach. I am in very need of your comments on the same the pros and cons on the above if the implementation is possible. kindly do the needful
thanks and regards
suresh kumar t

They're different kinds of clusters:
RH cluster is active-passive
RAC is active-active
So you can mix a RH cluster with services like webservers, other mysql databases, app servers, etc... and the Oracle RAC on the same machine, but I wouldn't make RHcluster control Oracle RAC services, cause they're different systems, with very different architecture.
What It's possible is to control RH cluster services through Oracle RAC clusterware, adding the RH cluster services as CRS services. You can do so with $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/crs_register
Hope you find this information helpful.
Regards,
Enric Moya
