JES & Veritas Cluster Server

Hi All,
By this message i want to share with you my experience with Veritas and JES.
Last week, i configured the Veritas Cluster Server Agent for iPlanet 5.2 to work with JES 6.1. There was problem to bring the ressource group of JES online because the agent is't conpatible with the JES 6, but done somes modification to allow the agent to monitor my JES ressource group.
Firstly :
When bringing the JES ressource group onlin, the VCS Agent search for a file named /etc/msgregistry.inf, this file deasn't exist in JES 6 only in 5.2. to avoid this problem i created an empty file in both nodes using touch :
touch /etc/msgregistry.inf
Secondly :
The old binaries directory sbin on the messaging server was located on the msg-bin and in the new version JES 6 it's located in sbin and to avoid this problem i created a symbolic link like :
ln �s serverroot/sbin serverroot/msg-sbin
Where the serverroot is the full path name to the messaging directory configured on the Veritas Cluster.
I finded this issues only by debugging the Agent scripts, probably you will be faced to other problem, i advice you to just look at the veritas log and try to circumvent the problem.
Enjoy my help.
Mourad.

I don't feel like you've read my response.
It appears you're using the 5.2 cluster agent. You need the new JES cluster agent. It's on the JES CD.
There is no longer an "inf" registry file for it to look at. There is documentation for installing cluster. Please examine and follow.

Veritas Cluster Server on Solaris x64

Hi All,
We're trying to configure VCS to failover SCS. However, when we bring SCS up via VCS it starts the instance, but VCS doesn't seem to reconize that the instance is up. Therefore after a bit, VCS thinks the instance is not up and tries to failover to the second node.
We have seen that there is a SAP agent for VCS on Solaris sparc, but can't find one for x64.
Does anybody know of an agent for x64, or has anybody configured a standard resource type for SCS in VCS?
Any help will be greatly apreciated.

Wow!
Well luckily we managed to work something out with the stardard "App" resource type in VCS. We monitor whether our SCS instance is up by monitoring the following processes:
en.sap<SID>_SCSxx pf=/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_SCSxx_vhostname
ms.sap<SID>_SCSxx pf=/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_SCSxx_vhostname
<SID> = System ID
xx = SCS instance number
vhostname = the hostname of the virtual ip used for the cluster group.
Hope this helps somebody in the future.

Question about Grid Control Agents on a Veritas Cluster (or any cluster)

Hi, I'm seeking advice on how to setup Grid Control agents on a Veritas Cluster.
My cluster is made up of two Sun M4000 servers running Solaris 10 x64 (node1 and node2), and 8 virtual hosts setup to fail between the nodes. Each of these virtual hosts has several mount points from a SAN, and contain Oracle 9 and 10 homes as well as databases. The versions are 9.2.0.8 and 10.2.0.3.
I have a full grid control agent install on each node to mount points that don't fail over to the other nodes. These agents monitor the nodes themselves.
Now for my question, is it better to do full intalls of the grid agent in each virtual host or to use the "emctl deploy agent" from the full installs already on node1 and node2 to the virtual hosts? Or is there some other, better way to do this.
Either method results in 9 grid control agents on a node if all the virtual hosts are on that box. I've experimented with both agent deploys and installs a bit and found that the cpu usage goes though the roof with that many agents on one server. Maybe I don't have them configured correctly, but every now and then they spike cpu usage to 100%, and these servers have 8, dual core processors in them with 32GB of RAM.
Thanks for any tips!
Currently, my setup looks something like this, if it helps:
ORANODE1...........................................ORANODE2
user: oracle..........................................user: oracle
full agent install....................................full agent install
VirtualHost1
user: ora_user1
Oracle 10G Home
repository database
OMS install
full agent install
VirtualHost2
user: ora_user2
Oracle 9i Home
production database
full agent install
VirtualHost3
user: ora_user3
Oracle 9i Home
production database
full agent install
VirtualHost4
user: ora_user4
Oracle10g Home
production database
full agent install
VirtualHost5
user: ora_user5
Oracle10g Home
production database
full agent install
VirtualHost6
user ora_user6
Oracle10G Home
production database
full agent install
VirtualHost7
user: ora_user7
Oracle10G Home
production database
full agent install
VirtualHost8
User: ora_user8
Oracle10G Home
production database
full agent install

Will the agent 10.2.0.3 work with Grid Control 10.2.0.1
Yes.

Solaris Cluster Server Homogeneous System Copy

Hi,
We have SAP ECC 6.0 on Solaris Sparc server. Our database is Oracle 10.2.0.2. We will buy 2 new solaris server and we want to use these server as cluster. We want to make homogeneous system copy from current server to new cluster server. How can we make homogeneous copy from current server to new cluster server? Firts of all do we have to install new ECC 6.0 on cluster server and then will we make homogeneous system copy?
Also how can we install ECC 6.0 on Solaris Cluster server? Will we have install ECC 6.0 seperatly for each server of cluster unit? I have SAP installation document but it is not clear. Do you have another document for SAP installation on cluster server? Please help us about these issues.
Best regards.

First to move your ECC system from your current server to the new server, yes you do need to homogenous copy. There are other methods like storage sub-system level copy, but it is not supported. Since your system is ABAP, you can setup standby database on the new server and use dataguard to replicate database. You can manual move profiles, binaries and other application file systems manually since they are on external storage. You should change your profiles to use logical hostname instead of the physical hostname though Solaris 10 gives you the ability to move zone/containers with same hostname.
I am assuming you have distributed system, ie database and SAP separate. You can setup RAC for database HA. For SAP, you can use sun cluster or veritas cluster to move SAP central instance with the logical hostname to the 2nd standby server.
You can also separate ASCS from SAP central instance and setup failover for the CS instance with the cluster software. Check notes 821904, 870652. You can take another step in HA with ENQ replication (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/36/67973c3f5aff39e10000000a114084/content.htm)

Veritas Cluster (SFRAC) and oracle CRS

We have oracle 9i RAC running on Solaris 9 with over veritas cluster.
We want to run 10g RAC on the same same servers which will use the
veritas cluster file system
While trying to install 10g CRS the node selection list doesnt show node
information.Entered information using response file .After the installation
root.sh fails to start CRS.
Is it ok to run 9i and 10g RAC on same servers.

Chandra/Vishwa
We have a libskgxn2.so in /opt/ORCLcluster/lib directory. But the size of the file is
different from /opt/VRTSvcs/rac/lib/libskgxn2_64.so.1 file
Since we already have 9i rac running, I am not sure if copying the file from
/opt/VRTSvcs/rac/lib directory if it will affect 9i rac.
I went ahead with installation of CRS. I am getting following error while running root.sh
Checking to see if Oracle CRS stack is already configured
Checking to see if any 9i GSD is up
/oracle/crshome/AUTEST/bin/lsdb: Failed to initialize Cluster Context
skgxn error number 1311719766

[-t p1,p2,p3,p4] [-pn privA,privAnum,privB,privBnum...]
[-hn hostA,hostAnum,hostB,hostBnum...]
With CRS and veritas running on the same server , will CRS always communicate
across nodes using VCS since we will be using veritas cluster file system
for database.

Sun Cluster Server restore

Recently one of cluster server crashed without backup. I had to reinstall all of Solaris 8 and software such as veritas volume manager and oracle, Sun Cluster 3.0. Unfortunately, it is said that if one of both cluster servers was down, I have to reinstall both machines. Is it true?
Is there anyone can give me some advices how to fix this problem properly?
Thxs

I think I am having same problem as you before. If possible, could you please give me some instructions. I am just a beginner of Sun Cluster Server. According to your sugguestion, it looks so complex that I can handle. Presently, I have installed volumn manager and oracle on the broken node. Can you instruct me what's next? The more details the better.
Thanks in advance.

Port required for Veritas cluster implementation

hello there ,
i need to know what are the port required for veritas cluster implementation on Sun Messaging Server 6.2 . anybody care to help me on this ?
thanks

> We are planning a 2 node Oracle 9i RAC cluster on Sun
Cluster 3.Good. This is a popular configuration.
Can you please explain these 2 questions?
1)
If we have a hardware disk array RAID controller with
LUNs etc, then why do we need to have Veritas Volume
Manager (VxVM) if all the LUNS are configured at a
hardware level?VxVM is not required to run RAC. VxVM has an option (separately
licensable) which is specifically designed for OPS/RAC. But if
you have a highly reliable, multi-pathed, hardware RAID platform,
you are not required to have VxVM.
2)
Do we need to have VxFS? All our Oracle database
files will be on raw partitions.No.
IMHO, simplify is a good philosophy. Adding more software
and layers into a highly available design will tend to reduce
the availability. So, if you are going for maximum availabiliity,
you will want to avoid over-complicating the design. KISS.
In the case of RAC, or Oracle in general, many people do use
raw and Oracle has the ability to manage data in raw devices
pretty well. Oracle 10g further improves along these lines.
A tenet in the design of highly available systems is to keep
the data management as close to the application as possible.
Oracle, and especially 10g, are following this tenet. The only
danger here is that they could try to get too clever, and end up
following policies which are suboptimal as the underlying
technologies change. But even in this case, the policy is
coming from the application rather than the supporting platform.

How to Install BAM on Veritas Cluster?

I have to install BAM on system which use Veritas Cluster
I don't know how?

I guess you visited this link (http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/livecycle/). But if you read the docs under "Installing and Deploying LiveCycle ES on Server Clusters" carefully then you will see "Preparing to Install LiveCycle ES (Server Cluster)" and below you can see docs for each AppServer. These docs are sufficient to install LC on a cluster.

Failover cluster server - File Server role is clustered - Shadow copies do not seem to travel to other node when failing over

Hi,
New to 2012 and implementing a clustered environment for our File Services role. Have got to a point where I have successfully configured the Shadow copy settings.
Have a large (15tb) disk. S:
Have a VSS drive (volume shadow copy drive) V:
Have successfully configured through Windows Explorer the Shadow copy settings.
Created dependencies in Failcover Cluster Server console whereby S: depends on V:
However, when I failover the resource and browse the Client Access Point share there are no entries under the "Previous Versions" tab.
When I visit the S: drive in windows explorer and open the Shadow copy dialogue box, there are entries showing the times and dates of the shadow copies ran when on the original node. So the disk knows about the shadow copies that were ran on the
original node but the "previous versions" tab has no entries to display.
This is in a 2012 server (NOT R2 version).
Can anyone explain what might be the reason? Do I have an "issue" or is this by design?
All help apprecieated!

Hi,
Please first check the requirements in following article:
Using Shadow Copies of Shared Folders in a server cluster
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779378(v=ws.10).aspx
Cluster-managed shadow copies can only be created in a single quorum device cluster on a disk with a Physical Disk resource. In a single node cluster or majority node set cluster without a shared cluster disk, shadow copies can only be created and managed
locally.
You cannot enable Shadow Copies of Shared Folders for the quorum resource, although you can enable Shadow Copies of Shared Folders for a File Share resource.
The recurring scheduled task that generates volume shadow copies must run on the same node that currently owns the storage volume.
The cluster resource that manages the scheduled task must be able to fail over with the Physical Disk resource that manages the storage volume.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

The cluster server element 441305751 is not added in the EP cluster context

Hello Experts,
We are using load balancer to distribute the load across of our four portal servers nodes. Lately, two of our nodes are behavior very strangely; it continuously stopped working momentarily and it started back up again automatically by it self. And the users usually received a message u201C500 internal server erroru201D.
#1.5 #001372559B8800280000000200002D940004692BC78C988A#1241536659228#com.sap.engine.services.prtbridge##com.sap.engine.services.prtbridge####n/a##defe75c0398711debfb1001372559b88#SAPEngine_System_Thread[impl:5]_55##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server#Plain###
The cluster server element 441305751 is not added in the EP cluster context,
because prtbridge on 441305751 is stopped or not yet started (maybe the server is starting or shuting down).
Any helps would be appreciated,

HI David,
Did you figure out why it happened? we have same exact problem and same log was written, could you please share your solution.

Deploy jw webservice to cluster server, always point to 9081

i have cluster server(9081, 9082, 9083), when i deploy the helloword webservice generated by jwsc http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/webserv/use_cases.html,
the dynamical wsdl always point to 9081,<s2:address location="http://localhost:9081/HelloWorldImpl/HelloWorldService" /> even when i invoke the service on 9082, http://localhost:9082/HelloWorldImpl/HelloWorldService?WSDL
i tried generate webservice by axis it works fine. i gooled, couldn't find solution. thx.

Thanks for looking into it. Clean cache doesn't work for me. Since it works fine for you. I think the issue might related to create/deploy ear file. i don't have cluster setup on my local, so i created ear file and deployed to our DEV(unix) server thru admin console. the web-uri in application.xml generated by the jwsc contains the path examples/webservices/hello_world/HelloWorldImpl.war, instead of HelloWorldImpl.war. i have to manually updated the uri, otherwise i got "not be able to identifiy application path ......war" during install. Since Axis works fine cluster config should be ok. Do you mind share how you config the cluster and how to generate the ear file? this are the two possible places i can think of. i also tried set FrontEnd HTTP Port for each server, still didn't work.
May i know are you tech support from weblogic? i am trying to find way to create ticket for weblogic tech support for this issue. thx.

Directory size of ...../ j2ee/cluster/server ?

Hi Everybody,
Can anyone pls tell me if their "server" directory size under ..../j2ee/cluster/server increased drastically after the installation of the ME 2.1 Server component on J2EE Engine on WAS 6.20.
A file called "dev_Icom" in the directory .../j2ee/cluster/server is taking away 11Gb.
Please confirm.
I am using J2EE SP24.
Thnx

HI,
If you do not enter the cluster ID,the EOIO channel is activated automatically on a different working node.
This configuration ensures node failover by the adapter in a clustered environment.

Which Cluster Server recommend for SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
I want to ask you, which Cluster Server can you recommend us for SAP R/3?
best regards.
Emre

For windows you can use the windows MCS clustering system. For further detail you might want to check out the install guide for your version of SAP software to get an idea of what is needed from a hardware standpoint [Install Guides|http://service.sap.com/instguides]
Are you looking to cluster the DB, the app server, or both?
Hope that is helpful.
