Instant client support for oracle rac ?

My questions is does instant client support rac ?
example : tnsnames.ora
RAC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = DB1-VIP)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = DB2-VIP)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = RAC)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(TYPE = SELECT)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 180)
(DELAY = 5)
)

If you are asking if Instant Client can connect to a RAC cluster, the answer is yes. There is no functional difference between a full client and Instant Client. I hope that helps!

  • FDM is not supported on Oracle RAC?  Why not?

    [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fdm_11113_readme.pdf|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fdm_11113_readme.pdf] We are in the process of implementing Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management (FDM) version 11.1.1.3 as part of our Hyperion Essbase BI environment. I read over the documentation prior to building the databases, but apparently I missed an important bit of information. It seems that FDM is not supported on Oracle RAC. I just noticed this under in the "Known Issues" section of the FDM 11.1.1.3 release notes, and that was only one sentence. The release notes do not explain why this is the case.
    - Does anyone know why FDM release 11.1.1.3 is not supported for Oracle RAC?
    - Has this always been the case?
    - Can a single node database, running on an Oracle 10.2.0.4 two node RAC environment, be used instead of building a separate, stand-alone database?
    Link to readme document. The reference to RAC support, or non-support, is on page 6:

    Hi Daan,

    I belive it is better to help them answer a better question or if you don't like the question ignore it.
    Hi user10511107,
    I belive your problem is with Windows not with BI, BI just can't get windows version,
    If you are on right version of windows go to MSDN and search for your error and how to fix it

  • Any Oracle best practice/standards for inter-DataCente links for Oracle RAC

    Hello Oracle Experts,
    Am working for a customer to set up Oracle RAC architecture hosting SAP/Non-SAP applications per SLA levels(MC/BC/Standard) specs. Currently my network team needs calculation to arrive at whether we will go for a (1), (2) or (3) 10Gig links for inter DC (Data-Center) for Oracle RAC.. below is additional background:
    •     Porting all client SAP/Non-SAP Oracle databases to new 2 data-centers.
    •     There will be 10 blades (4x BL680s and 6x BL460s) in each DC (can scale-up/out later on).
    •     Clusters architecture to support Extended/Stretched RAC cluster feature
    •     Clusters 2-node each(1-datacenter1, 1-datacenter2) and nodes distributed across 2 x c7000 such that no cluster has more than one node in an enclosure.
    •     Each node will have - 4 NIC ports ( 2 x public and 2 x private) , 2 dual-port HBA
    •     Oracle ASM/ACFS (ASM Cluster File System), Voting Disk, OCR and Database files
    •     the versions are Oracle 11g RAC, Oracle 10g RAC and Oracle 9i (for DataGuard/Standby) on RHEL 6 on Proliant Blades (x86) + BladeMatrix
    My network colleagues considering using DWDM across the 2 DCs(given the lesser cost?). Am still looking around if there are any Oracle/industry-best practices around this and having a calculation to support that..
    Many Thanks in advance..

    Hi ,
    There are no specific set of steps / practices for batch loading contents to ucm . It would be very much dependent on how many contents does the user have to load to UCM and how well the server is configured in terms of performance .
    You can get more details from the following documentation link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/doc.1111/e10792/c02_settings009.htm

  • OIM 9.1.0.2 - Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources for Oracle RAC

    Does OIM OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 support Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources (Services>JDBC>Multi Data Sources) for Oracle RAC instead of inserting the "Oracle RAC JDBC URL" on JDBC Data Sources for xlDS and xlXADS (Services>JDBC>Data Sources> xlDS|xlXADS > Connection Poll> URL) ?
    If yes, is there are any other modifications that need to be made on OIM, or just changing the data sources?

    Yes, it's supported. You install against one instance directly of the Rac Server. Then you update the config.xml file and the jdbc resource in your weblogic server with the full rac address. It is documented for installation against RAC. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14049_01/doc.9101/e14047/database.htm#insertedID2

  • Copper cable / GigE Copper Interface as Private Interconnect for Oracle RAC

    Hello Gurus
    Can some one confirm if the copper Cables ( Cat5/RJ45) can be used for Gig Ethernet i.e. Private interconnects for deploying Oracle RAC 9.x or 10gR2 on Solaris 9/10 .
    i am planning to use 2 X GigE Interfaces (one port each from X4445 Quad Port Ethernet Adapters) & Planning to connect it using copper cables ( all the documents that i came across is been refering to the fiber cables for Private Interconnects , connecting GigE Interfaces , so i am getting bit confused )
    would appretiate if some one can throw some lights on the same.
    regards,
    Nilesh Naik
    thanks

    Cat5/RJ45 can be used for Gig Ethernet Private interconnects for Oracle RAC. I would recommend trunking the two or more interconnects for redundancy. The X4445 adapters are compatible with the Sun Trunking 1.3 software (http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/suntrunking/). If you have servers that support the Nemo framework (bge, e1000g, xge, nge, rge, ixgb), you can use the Solaris 10 trunking software, dladmin.
    We have a couple of SUN T2000 servers and are using the onboard GigE ports for the Oracle 10gR2 RAC interconnects. We upgraded the onboard NIC drivers to the e1000g and used the Solaris 10 trunking software. The next update of Solaris will have the e1000g drivers as the default for the SUN T2000 servers.

  • WLI 10.2 Support for oracle 10GR2 or not .......

    We are evaluating ALSB 3.0 with WLI 10.2 and we would like to use Oracle RAC 10GR2.
    The BEA article at http://edocs.bea.com/platform/suppconfigs/configs102/102_over/supported_db.html#1178367
    suggests that WLI 10.2 is not supported with Oracle RAC 10GR2.
    I find this surprising since we are currently using WLI 8.1 SP4 with Oracle 9i RAC and its supported and its also possible to use WLI 9.2 with Oracle RAC 10GR2 according to this article http://edocs.bea.com/platform/suppconfigs/configs92/92_over/supported_db.html#1177976
    and assuming you apply the appropriate Patch ID: 1VLA, Pass code: SJ88M5JJ
    Anyone have any ideas on why WLI 10.2 is not supported with Oracle RAC 10GR2 as its an important architectural issue for us if we can not use RAC. Also does anyone know if BEA has any plans and timescales for when they will be supoporting Oracle RAC with WLI 10.2 ?

    As luck would have it CR370015 was submitted to request a post GA certification of WLI 10.2 with Oracle RAC and it passed in the last few days. The docs have been updated to remove the comment on WLI not being supprted. See http://edocs.bea.com/platform/suppconfigs/configs102/102_over/supported_db.html#1178367

  • Difference between instant client and full oracle client

    Everyone,
    I had read the below lines from a goldengate pdf. Someone please explain me what is the difference between instant client and full oracle client?
    What is the use of XDK libraries.?
    " The full Oracle client must be used with GoldenGate so that the GoldenGate programs
    have access to the Oracle XDK libraries. Do not use Oracle Instant Client, which lacks
    those libraries. You can download the full client from Oracle’s website."
    Regards,
    SAKTHi

    The dealio is this:
    When you install client software, you have several options as to the degree of what you get/install. The big chicken dinner is administrator, so you get all kinds of extra features, add-ons, libraries, utilities, etc. At the hard candy Christmas end is instant client, and that has just enough functionality to, as you may surmise by now, connect a client and that's about it. Various libraries have functionality built in to do whatever extra is required. An example is FAN, or fast application notification, used in Data Guard failover. A FAN API (Java) will detect a failover and re-direct a client connection to the new primary. What GG uses XDK for (specifically) isn't of importance to a user, just the fact that it is available for connecting to Oracle is.

  • Need clarification for firmware & MPIO version for Oracle RAC

    Dear All,
    We have two-node Oracle RAC configuration 10gR2, Windos 2033 R2, 64-Bit OS using ASM and Oracle 11gR1 clusterware on HP Blades. The SAN storage is from IBM. We want to upgrade the firmware and MPIO version as per vendor recommendation.
    Is there any requirement for Oracle RAC to have specific version of firmware and MPIO? Is there any matrix available for this? Or is it like both nodes should be able to see same SAN storage (LUN) irrespective of version used?
    Thanks

    Please note that Oracle RAC doesnt have requirement any sepcific firm ware. If you upgrade the firmware, it should not break any existing config, so pls check with IBM.
    Also if you are doing any specific firmware upgrade then IBM should provide the supported version list.
    Hope this help,

  • Encountered ora-29701 during Sun Cluster for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 startup (UR

    Hi all,
    Need some help from all out there
    In our Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 (Solaris 9) configuration, my team had encountered
    ora-29701 *Unable to connect to Cluster Manager*
    during the startup of the Oracle RAC database instances on the Oracle RAC Server resources.
    We tried the attached workaround by Oracle. This workaround works well for the 1^st time but it doesn’t work anymore when the server is rebooted.
    Kindly help me to check whether anyone encounter the same problem as the above and able to resolve. Thanks.

    ORA-29701 DURING DATABASE CREATION AFTER APPLYING 9.2.0.6 PATCHSET
    *** 03/25/05 07:32 am ***
    TAR:
    PROBLEM:
    Customer applied 9.2.0.6 patchset over 9.2.0.4 patchset.
    While creating the database, customer receives following error:
         ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
    However, if customer goes from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the problem does not occur.
    DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
    It seems that the problem is with libskgxn9.so shared library.
    For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the install log shows the following:
    installActions2005-03-22_03-44-42PM.log:,

    For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6, install log shows:
    installActions2005-03-22_04-13-03PM.log:, [libcmdll.so ->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 64274 plats=1=>[46] langs=-554696704=>[en]] does not exist.
    This means that while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5, Installer copies the libcmdll.so library into libskgxn9.so, while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6 does not.
    ORACM is located in /app/oracle/ORACM which is different than ORACLE_HOME in customer's environment.
    WORKAROUND:
    Customer is using the following workaround:
    cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ioracle ipc_udp

  • Gig Ethernet V/S  SCI as Cluster Private Interconnect for Oracle RAC

    Tim
    Can any one pls confirm if it's possible to configure
    2 or more Gigabit Ethernet interconnects ( Sun
    Cluster 3.1 Private Interconnects) on a E6900
    cluster ?Yes, absolutely. You can configure up to 6 NICs for the private networks. Traffic is automatically striped across them if you specify clprivnet0 to Oracle RAC (9i or 10g). That is TCP connections and UDP messages.
    It's for a High Availability requirement of Oracle
    9i RAC. i need to know ,
    1) can i use gigabit ethernet as Private cluster
    interconnect for Deploying Oracle RAC on E6900 ? Yes, definitely.
    2) What is the recommended Private Cluster
    Interconnect for Oracle RAC ? GiG ethernet or SCI
    with RSM ? SCI is or is in the process of being EOL'ed. Gigabit is usually sufficient. Longer term you may want to consider Infiniband or 10 Gigabit ethernet with RDS.
    3) How about the scenarios where one can have say 3 X
    Gig Ethernet V/S 2 X SCI , as their cluster's
    Private Interconnects ? I would still go for 3 x GbE because it is usually cheaper and will probably work just as well. The latency and bandwidth differences are often masked by the performance of the software higher up the stack. In short, unless you tuned the heck out of your application and just about everything else, don't worry too much about the difference between GbE and SCI.
    4) How the Interconnect traffic gets distributed
    amongest the multiple GigaBit ethernet Interconnects
    ( For oracle RAC) , & is anything required to be done
    at oracle Rac Level to enable Oracle to recognise
    that there are multiple interconnect cards it needs
    to start utilizing all of the GigaBit ethernet
    Interfaces for transfering packets ?You don't need to do anything at the Oracle level. That's the beauty of using Oracle RAC with Sun Cluster as opposed to RAC on its own. The striping takes place automatically and transparently behind the scenes.
    5) what would happen to Oracle RAC if one of the
    Gigabit ethernet private interconnects fails It's completely transparent. Oracle will never see the failure.
    Have tried searching for this info but could not
    locate any doc that can precisely clarify these
    doubts that i have .........This is all covered in a paper that I have just completed and should be published after Christmas. Unfortunately, I cannot give out the paper yet.

  • Why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup

    Hello All,
                 I got this question lately.. "why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup". I know we use the reverse proxy at Middleware level for multiple security reasons.
    Thanks..

    "why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup".
    I wouldn't. I wouldn't use a proxy of any sort for the Cluster Interconnect for sure.
