Installing RAC/ASM for OCP preparation

Hello Fellow Forumites,
I just passed OCA in 11g.
Now I want to study for OCP.
My approach has always been to take a self study, before registering for an instructor led class. To achieve this, I am currently using Sybex (Sybex OCP Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional Study Guide Exam 1Z0-053).
My question is how do i install RAC and ASM on my server.
I have checked the hardware requirement for rac and my server passed, it is also running on win 2003 server, but if i want to configure rac /asm, i get this error telling me that it can not be installed on my server.
Your kind help will highly be appreciated.
I forgot to mention that i am using Enterprise Edition 11g R2.
Thanks
Harrison

If you're getting an error installing software, you're probably better off posting this in the Database Installation.
When you do, it would be quite helpful to post the exact error stack you are getting and exactly what step of the installation process you are on.

  • Install oracle goldengate at ASM  for data replication in RAC system?

    Hi Experts,
    We have 2 RAC server and each server have a 4 nodes RAC with 10R2 database in linux.
    We will install oracle goldengate as data replication between two RAC servers.
    Our database install on ASM in SAN box in linux
    Based on Goldengate install requirement, 16.     Set a shared driver that is accessed by each RAC nodes
    and install goldebgate on shared driver.
    As I understand, can we install goldengate on ASM that is shared by each node?
    Or we MUST set up other shared driver ( NO ASM) for installation of goldengate.
    Please advise me?
    Thanks

  • A non-RAC question for the experts: Clusterware + ASM

    Hi
    We have a 2-nodes cluster in production.
    It's an active/passive cluster with a cold failover using SUN Cluster.
    There is only one Oracle 10G single-instance database (DB1), running on node #1, that use ASM to access the SAN (it's raw devices).
    We want to add a third nodes to move to a 3-nodes cluster, that would have 2 separates single instance Oracle 10g database
    node #1: DB1 with ASM (the existing database, existing raw devices)
    node #2: cluster passive node
    node #3: DB2 with ASM (new additional database, new raw devices)
    All nodes are connected to the same SAN.
    We' want to use Clusterware instead of SUN Cluster.
    The single-instance databases, the listeners and the ASM instances would be protected by Clusterware using "application VIP" (not oracle-vip).
    It's not RAC ! but in the future both database might become RAC (but that's not the need today)...
    My concern is about ASM !
    Do I have to install an ASM instance on each node (just like in RAC) ?
    Or may I just configure clusterware to ensure there is only ASM instance running on a node ?
    Is it possible to have the ASM instance of node #1 and the ASM intance of node#2 that access the same SAN & raw devices ?
    In the case DB1 & DB2 fail over to node#2, the unique ASM instance must see the raw devices of both databases, is this possible ?
    Do I have to destroy the curent ASM configuration of DB1 to build the new one, or can I just add new raw devices and share tem across all nodes ?
    Thanks for your answers.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the answer
    I found this very interesting doucument but it does not go into enough details about ASM, which is my concern.
    I found in the Oracle 11g documentation a statement which say that clustered ASM instances for single instance database do not need to talk each other as long as they do not handle the same diskgroup (Figure 1.3 ; http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b31107/asmcon.htm#i1021337) . Otherwise, it must be clustered. It would also be a problem for me when DB1 and DB2 are on the same node. I would need two different ASM instance, on the same node, which is not a good situation.
    What happen when I start an ASM instance on node #3 to access raw devices already in use by node # 2.
    I think I need to start from node #1 and change some ASM configuratoion to make it cluster-aware.
    Next, I would add a second clustered ASM instance on node #2, and so on, to make sure that all ASM instances of all nodes can access the same diskgroup, and thefore being able to re-use the existing database on node #1 as well as creating a new one one node #2 (all on the same SAN)

  • Storage for RAC & ASM

    I am planning to install Oracle 10g RAC with ASM for our Oracle 10.2.0.4 database on Solaris 10. We have a Sun StorEdge SAN.
    I would like to get your suggestions for the best storage infrastructure for the RAC/ASM.
    Can someone share their storage design - RAID LUN's, Disk layout for the RAC environment? Do you have RAID volumes or individual Disks presented to the O.S? If RAID Volumes, then what RAID level are you using? Since ASM stripes and mirrors (normal or high redundancy), how have you layed out your storage for ASM?
    Should I create one RAID LUN and present it to the operating system, so that ASM diskgroup can be created from that LUN or individual disks can be presented?
    If anyone can point me to any documentation that can put some light on the storage design and layout, it would be really helpful.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Binding Luns in red hat linux5 while installing RAC with ASM

    Hi All,
    I am in the process of installing RAC with ASM. Our OS team have presented the shared LUN's on the cluster nodes. Now that i need to bound/map them to the raw partitions. I did the below step. Could you please let me know the next steps to be done for the binding to be completed?
    # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
    # This file and interface are deprecated.
    # Applications needing raw device access should open regular

    # An example would be:

    # to bind /dev/raw/raw1 to /dev/sda, or
    # ACTION=="add", ENV{MAJOR}=="8", ENV{MINOR}=="1", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw2 %M %m"
    # to bind /dev/raw/raw2 to the device with major 8, minor 1.

  • Install 10gR2 on SLES9 w/ RAC/ASM

    Hello,
    I am going to install 10gR2 on SLES9 w/ RAC/ASM. Is there any step-by-step guide for it? Does 10gR2 ASM still need the voting disk and OCR disk though 10gR1 needs them? What kind of best remote access client to the server can you recommend?
    Thanks in advance.

    My question "Does 10gR2 ASM still need the voting disk and OCR disk " actually is that "Does 10gR2 Clusterware still need the voting disk and OCR disk?".
    Thanks.

    Hi Experts
    Plz I hope someone could help me, I am planning to Install Oracle 11g R2(11.2.0.3)
    on Oracle Linux 6 with ASM for a production environment.
    My doubt is: Is it a stable combination ? someone has experience working with this version ? is there some Oracle documents to support this implementation on Production ?
    I have been installing and working with 11g R2 on Oracle Linux 5 (5.7,5.8) with ASM for some time and I didn’t have problems, it’s very stable combination
    My situation is this: Our client insist on use Oracle Linux 6 on a new Oracle implementation, even when we told her Oracle Linux 5 its Very stable, so that’s why I am asking for some advice, because it’s a production environment 7x24.

  • Why is it preparation CDs for OCP are gone?

    Looks like the preparation CDs for OCP are starting to disappear and all preparation are just Instructor led. Oracle should bring back the CDs for those with less money.

Oracle should bring back the CDs for those with less money.The CDs were expensive anyway and possibly little taken up. While they were probably a good profit source for miscreants selling duplicates via the internet equivalent of Peckham market. I really have no evidence for this but just wild guessing.
    Perhaps they will return on blu-ray for enhanced experience Or perhaps they need an update to 11gR2. Or perhaps the web team made a mistake with the website.

  • Archivelogs deleted in RAC ASM Production for standby

    Hi,
    DB: 10.2.0.4
    OS: AIX 5.3 L
    This is 2 node RAC ASM database with single standby on ASM.
    I set the retention policy to 2 days for my Live database.While running the TAPE backup script, the archivelogs were deleted .The deleted archivelogs are generated just before /while the TAPE backup.Backup script has not considered the retention policy for Primary.All archivelogs , except generated after backup ,were deleted .
    Now my standby is waiting for deleted archivelogs.
    How do i can make sync of my standby with Primary ?.
    Please understand my position and request you to help me on this.

    Hi Jean & Abhi,
    Thanks you very much for your reply.
    I came out the problem with following taking the backup of incremental from standby SCN value.
    Actually i did not have backup of deleted archivelog .Now my standby database is in sync with primary and working fine.
    About recovering of deleted archivelog from backup piece, If i run below script , whether it will recover the specified archivelogs to our archivelog destination or will recover to database ?.I never done this before.Could you explain me ,please.
    run
    allocate channel t1 type sbt.....;
    restore archivelog from sequence X until sequence Y thread 1;
    Also, my database is on ASM. Once we recover the archivelogs,how do i can move to standby?.I mean , moving them from ASM to file system and registering to standby database .
    Thank you very much,
