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.

  • Problem of Copying the Original VM to 2nd VM in Oracle 11gR2 RAC system

    Folks,
    Hello. I have been installing Oracle Database 11gR2 RAC system using 2 nodes that are 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2) on the top of VMPLayer 3.
    I follow the tutorial http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html to do.
    The original Virtual Machine rac1 has run correctly. I configure rac1 network (eth0 and eth1) by opening VM rac1 and using command "[root@rac1\] #neat" as root user to invoke the network configuration.
    For the second Virtual Machine rac2, I simply copy all files in "C:\VM\rac1" into "C:\VM\rac2". Then I have done the following:
    1) In the directory "C:\VM\rac2", rename "rac1.vmx" to "rac2.vmx".
    2) Change display name from "rac1" to "rac2" in the file "rac2.vmx".
    The next thing to do for rac2 is to open the Virtual Machine rac2 and configure its network (eth0 and eth1) by using the command "[root@rac2\]#neat" as root user.
    But by this step, I don't understand how to open the Virtual Machine rac2 so that can configure its network (eth0 and eth1).
    Can any folk tell me how to open the VM rac2 to configure its network by this step ?
    Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
    The public IP for eth0 and private IP for eth1 in the file "/etc/hosts" are as follows:
    rac1 eth0 192.168.138.35 eth1 192.168.137.35
    rac2 eth0 192.168.138.36 eth1 192.168.137.36
    In rac1, I have added 2 entries in /etc/hosts as following:
    #VIP for eth0
    192.168.138.130 rac1-vip.localdomain rac1-genetic-vip
    192.168.138.131 rac2-vip.localdomain rac2-cellar-vip
    Then I execute the command: [root@rac1 /]# ping rac2
    Output:
    PING rac2.localdomain (192.168.138.36) 56(84) bytes of data
    From rac1.localdomain (192.168.138.35) icmp_seq=1
    Destination Host Unreachable
    In rac2, I try to add the above 2 entries in /etc/hosts. But cannot save it. The following error message comes up:
    "E45: readonly option is set (add ! to override)".
    My questions are:
    First, do I need to add VIP in the file "/etc/hosts" for both rac1 and rac2 ?
    Second, why rac1 still cannot reach rac2 after add VIP in /etc/hosts for rac1 ?
    Third, why the file "/etc/hosts" in rac2 is read-only ? How to change it to be editable ?
    Thanks.

    I cannot find the directory where "oracleasm" is located. Can any folk help to solve the issue ?
    Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest you to take a look at these guides

    Hi,
    But by this step, I don't understand how to open the Virtual Machine rac2 so that can configure its network (eth0 and eth1)."rac2" is a new virtual machine after you copied and changed the display name and you need to add this in the vmware enventory (I am talking about vmware server and vmware player should have the same way as it is supposed to run multiple vritual machines on your PC). Then it will be visible it to you. Now start this new machine and edit the network configuration.

  • 11gr2 Rac Install: Stuck at the DNS SCAN portion.

    Hi Guys, it's Xev.
    Ok, I have followed his install guide to the dot. http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/oracle-db-11gr2-rac-installation-on-oel5-using-virtualbox.php#install_grid_infrastructure
    During the Grid Infrastructure install portion, it's stops me and tells me that "No Locally adapter is defined" when I am right here, it won't let me past this point right below...
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/images/ol5-112-rac/47-grid-ssh-connectivity.jpg
    Now, this install document, tells you to put the 3 SCAN Ip addresses in the /ect/hosts file and does not tell you that you need to install DNS on a server and configure it, or does he? The way he says it to
    me just doesn't make sense.
    My question is to only people that have actually installed 11gr2 RAC using VirtualBox and using oracle linux 5.8.
    He says in the install document this right here, but some how i think he is just flat out wrong.
    I quote from the install document,,,
    If you are not using DNS, the "/etc/hosts" file must contain the following information.
    127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
    # Public
    192.168.0.101 ol5-112-rac1.localdomain ol5-112-rac1
    192.168.0.102 ol5-112-rac2.localdomain ol5-112-rac2
    # Private
    192.168.1.101 ol5-112-rac1-priv.localdomain ol5-112-rac1-priv
    192.168.1.102 ol5-112-rac2-priv.localdomain ol5-112-rac2-priv
    # Virtual
    192.168.0.103 ol5-112-rac1-vip.localdomain ol5-112-rac1-vip
    192.168.0.104 ol5-112-rac2-vip.localdomain ol5-112-rac2-vip
    # SCAN
    192.168.0.105 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan
    192.168.0.106 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan
    192.168.0.107 ol5-112-scan.localdomain ol5-112-scan
    Note. The SCAN address should not really be defined in the hosts file. Instead is should be defined on the DNS to round-robin between 3 addresses on the same subnet as the public IPs. For this installation, we will compromise and use the hosts file. This is not possible if you are using 11.2.0.2 onward.
    If you are using DNS, then only the first line needs to be present in the "/etc/hosts" file. The other entries are defined in the DNS, as described here. Having said that, I typically include all but the SCAN addresses..
    END QUOTE.
    So, Guys, what does he actually mean with this? MY Grid install fails when it's trying to resolved the scan. DO I need to install DNS like he gives in the link above, OR can the install work with the SCAN in the /ect/hosts file? I Personally think this is just wrong, and you have to have DNS working 3 ip round-robin for the SCAN to work.
    Please only reply to this thread if you have actually successfully installled 11rg2 Rac (11.0.1) on Oracle Linux 5.8 using VirtualBox, or actually know where i am going wrong by your own experience, not just goggle searching.....but you got it to work....
    I am begging on my knees for help with this, since I have been at this for weeks now.
    If you help me through this, I'll be your friend
    Xev.

    Hi Shivendra,

    This is what happens on rac, the primary node.

    Now, this is what I for all the files that I have configured......I hope they are right?
    Do i need to run the named DNS server on both nodes? It's running on both nodes now...and the service starts..
    Here are all my files that pertain to the DNS configuration for RAC.
    These are the files that are on "rac" the primary node....

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC - timeseries

    Hello,
    We would like to know if Oracle 11gR2 RAC supports timeseries data storage and time-series functions. Timeseries storage is quite different - in terms of storage optimization - block storages, compressions, columnar databases and others. Time-series functions like regressions, data-mining. Does these options come by default or we require statistical language R integration?
    Thanks

    937054 wrote:
    Hello,
    1. Usally time-series data goes in multiple millions, so timeseries databases like FAME,KDB,SYBASE-IQ are used. Does oracle11gr2 provide storage optmizations, compressions, columnar database like FAME,KDB,SYBASE-IQ?
    The only methods of optimization are partitioning of the data by some date or if data set is narrow (few columns)l enough, partitioned IOT.
    2. http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/1515738
    Link is about R statistical language and data mining integration with Oracle database 11gR2. Does this come default during installation or with BigData - EXADATA? OR this is a seperate license?I am not sure about the licensing, you will need to ask your sales person, but it looks like it might be apart of ODM (oracle data mining - a licensed product)
    Take a read through this case study.

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC: Running the script root.sh problem

    Folks,
    Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
    http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
    I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller from step 1 to step 9 of 10 in both VM rac1 and rac2.
    Now, I am running the script root.sh in VM rac1 and rac2 as below:
    [root@rac1 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
    Output:
    CRS-4123: ohasd is starting
    FATAL: Module oracleoks not found

    'UpdateNodeList' was successful.
    [root@rac1 /]#
    [root@rac2 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh

    Start of resource "ora.asm_init" failed.
    Failed to start ASM.
    Failed to start Oracle Clusterware Stack.
    [root@rac2 /]#
    As we see the output above, rac1 and rac2 get the same problems. in addition, rac2 fails to start ASM and Clusterware stack. Thus, I have 2 questions:
    First, the common problem for rac1 and rac2 :
    1)Module "oracleoks, oracleadvm, oracleacfs" not found
    2)/dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec not detected
    3)ADVM/ACFS installation failed
    Do the above 3 factors affect Grid and DataBase Installation later ? If yes, how to solve these problems ?
    Second, how to start ASM and Clusterware stack in rac2 ?
    Thanks.

    you have 2 options:
    1. OEL 5.6 comes with 2 kernels, the original Red Hat, and Oracle UEK, you can choose not to use UEK
    or the one i would recommend:
    2. Upgrade Grid Infrastructure,
    *11.2.0.3.1* (patch 13348650, released about a 1 month ago) supports ACFS on UEK (starting with 2.6.32.200 IIRC)

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux 5

    Hi,
    I am trying to setup Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux 5.4 64-bit machine. I have used OCFS2 for creating shared disks. Encountered with the following error message while installing "Grid Infrastructure".
    [INS-30014] Unable to check wether the location specified is on CFS
    [INS-40103] The installer has detected that the software location specified is on an OCFS2 partition.
    [IS-41312] One or more locations specified for Oracle cluster Regestry (OCR) cannot be used.
    [INS-41514] One or more locations specified for placing voting disks cannot be used.
    -- At the time of configuration i have created 2 share disks, 1) For Oracle software 2) For voting disk and OCR
    Provided the same details at time of Clusterware installation.
    Please hel me.
    Thanks,

    Actually for both Oracle software and OCR i have used OCFS2. bcz earlier in Oracle 11g1 RAC i did the same and able to do smooth installation Well, you can no more do that with 11gR2 and it's clearly mentioned in 11gR2 Error messages documentation that configuration of grid Infrastructure software for a cluster is not supported on OCFS2 partition. You'll need to specify a location that is not an OCFS2 partition.
    Search for the error INS-40103 message at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10880/giinstaller_errormessages.htm
    Cheers.

  • ORACLE 11gR2 RAC on Fedora 14 unsing qemu

    Is it possible to install ORACLE 11gR2 RAC on FEDORA 14 using Virtual machine based on qemu which is by default available with FEDORA 14.
    Can someone have any hint. I know this is not supported by ORACLE Corporation, But for learning purpose this would be great help.

    Hi,
    Not sure about gemu but you can easily setup a system using virtualbox since this is for learning shouldn't make much difference how you set it up.

  • How to migrate data from oracle 9i database to new machine 11gr2 RAC ASM

    Hi Expert
    I need your expertise to advise me what is the best method to move data from oracle 9i database to new machine running oracle 11r2 RAC database with ASM.
    Currently my production server running on HPUX ORACLE 9I database with normal file system. My new server is running SUN SOLARIS SPACR 64 bit ORACLE 11gr2 RAC with ASM. What is best method to move data over so it will be consistent. Any guide can refer.
    Regard
    William

    Hi William,
    See the note in metalink Migration of Oracle Database Instances Across OS Platforms [ID 733205.1] to saw the Endian Format of your OS. If is the same you can use the RMAN to convert the database to another OS, if not the only option is using export/import (Transportable Tablespaces).
    To upgrade from 9i to 11g, see the note 837570.1 - Complete Checklist for Manual Upgrades to 11gR2.
    To migrate your FS to ASM the only way is using RMAN, so see the note - How to move a datafile from a file system to ASM [ID 390274.1].
    Hope this help you.
    Best Regards,
    Ruben Morais

    Yes, I can connect to the vswitch interface on the control domain. I didn't specify any PVID because my understanding is that PVID will tag any frame with the PVID VLAN by default. basically the PVID for this interface is 1.
