Libodmd11.so in grid home

For what purpose is the libodm11d.so (in 11.2.0.1) available in the $grid_home/lib?
This library only used to be in the database binaries home in 10g.
Thanks.

What are the Oracle Home and GRID home directory locations for Oracle 12c (12.1.0.5) release

Hello All,
I plan to install and configure Oracle 12c Cloud Control console on a single standalone server and the version is Oracle 12.1.0.5. All the databases which are installed across in the entire farm/landscape are these versions:
Oracle 10.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.4 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.4 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
Oracle 10.2.0.5 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.1 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
Oracle 11.2.0.3 RAC Enterprise Edition
All Oracle databases across these versions will use the same version of Oracle Grid since ASM is used for all the Oracle database across Production/Test/Development databases. The OS is RHEL 5.8, RHEL 6.3, OEL 6.3 versions.
When installing the Oracle 12c Cloud Control what is the Oracle and Grid Home directory location need to set to. Please let me know if there are any other additional configurations needed?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Abhijit

First off, the only EM CC release out right now is 12.1.0.2, not sure where you got 12.1.0.5 (DB Plugin maybe?).
Second, you're confusing EM CC homes with DB/Grid homes.
EM CC will need it's own Oracle Home (i.e. /opt/oracle/product/em_12.1.0.2). You will need to provide repository database connection information, but EM does not care what home the db or grid is installed in.
I would recommend reviewing the documentation as well as the references on OTN -

Why the scan lister and listener configure/start from GRID home why not from Oracle Home.

Hi
why the scan lister and listener configure/start from GRID home why not from Oracle Home.

> why the scan lister and listener configure/start from GRID home why not from Oracle Home.
Because Oracle says that's the way it has to be.
As @MohaAGOU said, starting in 11gR2, the Listeners (both SCAN and traditional) are now cluster resources. Let's start with the SCAN Listener. There are only 3 of them, even if you have 4 or more nodes in the cluster. If a node goes down and a SCAN Listener were running on it, Grid Infrastructure will relocate the SCAN Listener to a surviving node. Much easier to do this if the entire resource were in the GI home. Note that an instance cannot be relocated and it is running on a different home.
As for the traditional listener. The Listener itself won't be relocated during a node termination, but its VIP will.
Cheers,
Brian

PSU and One-off patching on GRID Home

Grid Infrastructure Version: 11.2.0.2
Question1.
Do you apply one-off patches for GI HOME? I have only applied PSUs on Grid Home . I have never applied a one-off patch on a Grid HOME.
So, I thought of downloading a GRID related one-off patch for AIX . So, I looked for
12767231 - AIX-11202-GIPC DISABLE SWITCH PORT FOR ONE PRIVATE NIC,HAIP DID NOT FAILOVERwhich is part of GI PSU 11.2.0.2.4 ( 12827731).
But when I searched for the one-off patch 12767231 in patch search in Metalink, I couldn't find the patch download for this particular bug.
I think you can apply this one-off patch only as a part of PSU. Right?
Question2.
Why on earth should I apply GI's PSU(or one-off patch) on RDBMS_HOME or vice versa?
RAC Databases run on the top of CRS stack.
Although related ,both GRID HOME and RDBMS HOME contain different binary files doing different things. So why should we apply GI's PSU/one-off patch on RDBMS_HOME and RDBMS_HOME's PSU on GRID Infrastructure HOME?
Question3.
We install grid using Grid Installer GUI. When doing a fresh installation of 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 in a new server , I want to apply its latest PSU as well. When should I do this PSU patching ?
A. Before running root.sh ?
One of last screens we get in Grid Installation is where the installer prompts you to run root.sh (see the screenshot below)
http://husnusensoy.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/camtasiastudio351.png
Should I do the PSU patching now ? ie just before executing root.sh ?
B. or After running root.sh ? ie. After the whole Grid Installation is succesfully complete ?
Edited by: spiral on 05-Jun-2012 17:16

Hello There.
for question number 3. What I do is this:
1. Execute runinstaller for grid, choose to check for patches, and put those patches in a folder, the next install don't need to go to internet, and reuse the 2 downloaded patches avaliable as today for 11.2.0.3.
2. patch GI (Grid Infrastucture home)
3. Install DB Binaries, no db creation
4. Patch DB Binaries
5. Create DB using dbca.
hope this helps.

Deinstall Error for Old Grid Home after Upgrade from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2

Hi,
I just upgraded from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2, both the grid infrastructure and the databases, using out-of-place upgrade. There were no errors during the upgrade and was able to deinstall the old database homes with no issues. The configuration we have is two standalone database servers connected to a clustered ASM array.
Now I'm trying to remove the old grid infrastructure home using deinstall. I get the following exception in the log file:

Thank you!

Hi,
if you upgrade you will not deinstall the old home, but simply remove it with rm.
There should be a MOS Note describing the procedure (It might be necessary as well to update the inventory).
Unfortunately don't have access to MOS atm...

Listener grid home

Hi,
I need to configure two listeners in 2 different port number. (1521 and 1522) in grid infrastructure for standalone.
My database version Oracle 11gR2, under Redhat Linux.
WHat I did, I have manually added in /opt/11.2.0/grid/network/admin/listener.ora file:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.56.198)(PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER_2 =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = db02.example.com)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1)
      (SID_NAME = db02)
LISTENER_2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.71.32)(PORT = 1522))
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER=ON      Now using srvctl commad:
-bash-3.2$ srvctl add listener -l LISTENER_2
-bash-3.2$ srvctl add listener -l LISTENER
-bash-3.2$ srvctl config listener -l LISTENER
Name: LISTENER
Home: /opt/11.2.0/grid
End points: TCP:1521
-bash-3.2$ srvctl config listener -l LISTENER_2
Name: LISTENER_2
Home: /opt/11.2.0/grid
End points: TCP:1521Why srvctl config for LISTENER_2 is showing me 1521 instead of 1522?
I have reloaded, stoped, started the listener again and again ... but still end points = 1521.
Any help?

It's not possible for me to use Netca ... I an far away from the servers and the connectivity does not allow me to use graphical tools :)

Trying to add another DB under SCAN via DBCA "Default listener LISTENER is not Configured in the grid infrastructure home"

Trying to install another DB under RAC using SCAN listener on a new port. DBCA gives error "Default listener LISTENER is not Configured in the grid infrasturcture home".
Have tried srvctl config listener, srvctl start listener to start the listener. Still not able to get past the DBCA error. What am I missing? Do not want to start LISTENER on port 1521 as SCAN is running on 1521.

No your Database config does use hostname/ip + port or a tns-entry pointing to the local_listener. Neither method does care for the home the listener is running from.
You will however have to take care of the entries in the clusterware, as the listener is a controlled resource. If you manually relocate it, then it will only work until next restart of crs stack.
The simplest way to switch the home is by running first netca from database home and delete the listener and then switch to grid home run netca again and create the listener.
netca will take care of registering it with crs with the correct environment settings. You will have a short period where your rac won't have a listener and therefore won't accept new connections until the new listener is up and running.
Relocating the current listener requires to modify several parameters via crsctl in the cluster registry, but allows doing this node by node without complete outage.
If you want to go that way, then create another listener from grid home and compare the settings of current listener and of the new listener. You will need to update several parameter before you can relocate it.
Run this command to show the current settings and compare it to the listener from grid home:
crsctl stat res ora.LISTENER.lsnr -p
You will need to modify serveral parameters, ACTION_SCRIPT,AGENT_FILENAME,ALIAS_NAME,ORACLE_HOME and the ACL
Modify works like this, for ACL you must use the encasing single apostrophe ' and run it as root:
crsctl modify res ora.LISTENER.lsnr -attr "ACL='owner:oracle:rwx,pgrp:oinstall:rwx,other::r--'"
I would recommend Version 1 if short outage is acceptable. For both variants verify that you can resolve all tnsnames entries in both homes.

Can i have same ORACLE_BASE directory location for Grid and RDBMS home ?

Grid Version:11.2.0.3
OS : RHEL 5.8
Can I have same ORACLE_BASE location for Grid (CRS) and RDBMS software Homes ?

The OFA guideline for ORACLE_BASE is /u01/app/<owner>. If you are using the same owner for all software (let's call him "oracle") then a simple installation will have one base /u01/app/oracle. This base will be shared by all installations of Grid and RDBMS software. But, if you use two separate owners (let's call them grid and oracle) then you will have two separate ORACLE_BASE locations /u01/app/oracle and /u01/app/grid. I always use two separate owners, but I know many people who only use the oracle account and that is fine too.
Oracle allows every ORACLE_HOME to have a unique base. There is no requirement to install more than one ORACLE_HOME under a given ORACLE_BASE location. This is just an extension of what I said above, that the ORACLE_HOMEs for Grid and RDBMS can be stored under separate ORACLE_BASEs.
If you are using RAC then I strongly suggest you read chapter 1 of the Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide. Read section "Overview of Oracle Base and Oracle Home Directories". The rules for ORACLE_BASE are as I noted above, but the rules for ORACLE_HOME change: the Grid ORACLE_HOME is not to be a sub-directory of the Grid ORACLE_BASE as it is when not using RAC. So, with RAC your directory structure might look more like this:
su -
umask 0022
mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory
# Grid Base
mkdir -p /u01/app/grid
# Grid Home
mkdir -p /u01/app/12.1.0.1/grid
# Oracle Base
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# Oracle Home
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.1/db_1
# Ownership for all of the above...
chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/grid
chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory
chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/12.1.0.1
chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/12.1.0.1/db_1
chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
My examples show 12.1.0.1 but it's the same for 11.2.0.3.
There's no requirement to create the home directories prior to running the OUI. It can create them for you. I just shown these commands to help you understand the big picture.
The OUI will pop-up a warning if the Grid user's ORACLE_HOME is outside of his ORACLE_BASE as shown in the above mkdir commands, which is funny since it is the recommended setup in the Oracle RAC documentation. I submitted a bug report several years ago. To be consistent across all of my RAC and non-RAC servers I follow the more strict rules of RAC and use the mkdir commands shown above.

OFA & Grid Infrastructure home

Hi!
I am experiencing some difficulty understanding where to install install GI
According to "Oracle® Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Oracle Solaris", http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24616/presolar.htm :
The OFA path for the Oracle base is /u01/app/user, where user is the name of the software installation owner.
So, i'm expecting to see Oracle Database binaries in /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3
and Grid Infrastructure (ASM,Oracle Restart) binaries in /u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0.3
Why i have to create /u01/app/11.2.0/grid ? Why GI is installed to /u01/app/11.2.0/grid, not to /u01/app/grid ?
Edited by: Jim on 02.02.2012 7:37

Hi Jim,
Why i have to create /u01/app/11.2.0/grid ? Why GI is installed to /u01/app/11.2.0/grid, not to /u01/app/grid ?Because creating an Oracle Clusterware installation in an Oracle base directory will cause succeeding Oracle installations to fail.
So, Oracle base for the grid installation owner "/u01/app/grid", and if the user is oracle "/u01/app/oracle". A Grid Home should be /u01/app/11.2.0/grid. (i.e GI_HOME out of ORACLE_BASE)
The reason behind this is:
In version 11.2 Oracle introduced a security that protects the binaries Installation of Grid Infrastructure. This prevents unnecessary changes or access in that OH.
To modify binaries of grid infrastucture, you must unlock that ORACLE_HOME.
So this security must not be applied to ORACLE_BASE of Grid Installation.
Re: Patching Grid Infrastructure
P.S Homes for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server (Oracle Restart) can be under Oracle base.

Localconfig is not found out in the new grid Oracle_HOME

Hi There,
Ifollowed the metalink Note ID 736121.1 to upgrad ASM for Non-RAC from 10gr2 to 11gr2. The 11gr2 Grid installation is successful, which is on a different directory from the current ASM directory. What I did for insallation is software only installation. However, when I'm doing step 4 in the Note, localconfig is not found out in the now Grid home directory(/ora/fs0000/app/grid/11.2.0/bin). even no DBUA is found out either. I'm unable to upgrade ASM for non-RAC from 10r2 to 11gr2.
With the successful installation of 11rr2 grid, the CSS is running in 11gr2, but No DBUA is found out in the new Grid Oracle_HOME directory.

Here are the steps in Note 736121.1:
1) Install the new 11g ASM Oracle Home (on a different directory) as described in the Installation Guide associated with your specific platform :
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db111/portal.portal_db?selected=11&frame=
==)> Installation Guide for <your platform/Os>
2) Shutdown all the database instances that are using ASM as storage option.
3) Shutdown the ASM instance.
4) Reconfigure the CSS service:
Connect as root OS user and execute:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig reset
Where: $ORACLE_HOME is the new 11g ASM Oracle Home
5) Startup the ASM instance (connected as Oracle OS user) as usual (using the 10g Oracle Home).
6) From another graphical session, set the environment variables (ORACLE_HOME, PATH, etc.) pointing to your new 11 ASM Oracle Home.
7) Then execute the DBUA from the new ASM 11gOracle_Home/bin/dbua:
DBUA will show 2 options:
=)> upgrade ASM instance.
=)> upgrade the database
8) Select [upgrade ASM instance] option. The DBUA will upgrade your ASM instance to release 11g automatically.
9) Finally, please startup the databases that are using ASM as storage option.
Does anyone has experience upgrading 10g ASM for Non-RAC to 11gR2?
Thanks in advance.

strangely, i seem to have left out the word "bought" to the first sentence.

Which listener should be used in a standalone grid infrastructure env?

gurus:
I installed a 11.2.0.2 standalone grid infrastructure on a linux box and created a database manually. I then used netca to create my listener which created 2 listener files:
a. under my DB home:
aml6:/u00/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin > cat listener.ora
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /u00/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER_ETL =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = aml6.lynk.lynksystems.com)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_ETL = /u00/app/oracle
b. under my grid home:
aml6:/u00/app/11.2.0/grid/network/admin > cat listener.ora
LISTENER_ETL=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=LISTENER_ETL)))) # line added by Agent
ENABLE_GLOBAL_DYNAMIC_ENDPOINT_LISTENER_ETL=ON # line added by Agent
I observed that the one under my DB home was the one that really got used when I tried to logon to a database.
Here are my questions:
1. what is the use for the listener under my DB home?
2. what is the use for the listener under my grid home?
3. the grid infrastructure document says that the default home for listener and tnsnames files are grid home, however, it seemed that I have to use the listener under my db home directory.
4. which listener is the ASM instance use?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks Levi and Sebastian.
We have separate listeners in DB homes for Stand Alone grids.
Cluster Grids have got the listeners (SCAN..etc) running out of Grid Home. Still, we have exceptions for the Cluster grid for EBS databases where SCAN is not supported yet and still have a separate listeners for the databases.
This OTN doc also describes a listener in the DB home: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/11g/r2/prod/install/gridinstss/gridinstss.htm
Hi Raj,
In this OBE, the author explains why he is setting a new Listener for ASM.
To Configure EM Database Control to manage ASM, perform the following steps:
To manage the ASM instance in Enterprise Manager Database Control. you must configure the ASM Instance as a target.
When you configure the ASM target, you must provide the port for the ASM listener.
The Grid Infrastructure installs a listener by default on port 1521, and configures the ASM instance to use this listener.
In this tutorial the database is already installed and has a listener configured on port 1521, the Grid Infrastructure places a listener on port 1522 and the ASM instance is registered with the grid listener.Before Install Grid Infrastructure he already had a database running with the Listener configured and running.
To ensure that the service of ASM will be registered in the Listener of same release he set a new Listener using GUI HOME.
This procedure is correct because the Grid Infrastructure (ASM) is the highest release (So, it's necessary configure Listener in same release), to not use a Listener with prior to release of the Grid Infrastructure(ASM) he created new Listener.
He also could deconfigure the Listener of Oracle Home (database) and configure in the GUI Home. It's a matter of choice.
Observing requirement of the paragraph below, we can set listener from anywhere there is no restriction, it is a matter of best practices only.
The release of the listener must be the same as or later than the latest release of all Oracle databases being serviced through the listener.Cheers,
Levi Pereira

Creating physical standby db through grid control 11g fails with "default listener is not running"

On step 4/6, i am getting error like below
ErrorExamine and correct the following error(s), then re-try the operation.Default Listener in Grid Infrastructure - The default listener in the grid infrastucture is not running.
I have the listener running on grid user and grid home, 11.2 in both primary and standby.
During these steps till 4, its no where asked for grid user password.
Not sure how it will detect the grid home listener.
Listener is running with default port 1521 on both the servers primary and standby
On the step 4 screen the other option for default listener is non-default listener and its pointing to db home and not grid home.
So i guess oracle is looking for the listener to be up on the db home and not on grid home causing the issues,
if so how to fix this ?
I am using role separation, separate user for grid and oracle homes grid and oracle user and all are on 11.2.0.1 db + grid

Hello again;
Check the solution in this: ( and note the multiple versions of oracle it covers )

Errors on applying PSU patches for GI (Grid Infrastructure) 11.2.0.3

Need help!
This is all in the version of 11.2.0.3.   We created a single node GI with ASM by the user grid.   Grid home is /grid/product/11.2/grid/   And oracle home created by user oracle at /oracle/product/11g.    I have downloaded the GI PSU patch 16742216 for GI and Oracle DB PSU patch 16619892.   I just want to apply the patch to GI home, then Oracle home with different PSU.   Here is what I did after unzip the patch for GI:
1.   Stopped ASM instance and stopped listener (these are owned by grid)
2. Created a ocm response file at grid home by grid user:   $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp   -no_banner
3. Use the root to run grid profile to setup grid GI environment
4. Use the root to run as (as described in Oracle instruction): opatch auto /home/grid/patches -ocmrf /grid/product/11.2/grid/OPatch/ocm/bin/ocm.rsp
But got this error.   For some reason it looks for Oracle home, not grid home, although I do not have any oracle home environment setup in root user:
