Load balancing in Oracle RAC 11g (11.1.0.6.0)

Hi!
One of our customers use load balancing, now all users get connected against node 2.
--The configuration of load balancing will be correct I think, have worked before
--How do I verify the load on each node ?
--What can be wrong?
--Need help, what to check?
--tnsnames.ora looks like
X.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = X)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = X)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = X.X.se)
Regards
T

Hi,

Services
Traditionally an Oracle database provided a single service and all users connected to the same service.
A database will always have this default database service that is the database name.This service cannot be modified and will always allow you to connect to the database.
Do not use the default database service, create at least one service.
With Oracle Database 11g, a database can have many services (up to a maximum of 115 per database).
The services hide the complexity of the cluster from the client by providing a single system image for managing work. Applications and mid-tier connection pools select a service by using the Service Name in their connection data.

  • Functional load balancing in oracle RAC

    Hi all,
    Could anyone suggest how to setup functional load balancing in oracle RAC? Will there be any performance improvement in doing so? I implemented server side load balancing and the performance of INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE are very poor. Will functional load balancing be of any use? Please tell me the steps of how to implement functional load balancing?

    Hi,
    Load balancing will not necessary increase performance, it just distribute the load more evenly.
    Is the DML statement only slow in specific instance?
    To prove if there is problem with load balancing, have you tried connect to one instance and perform same DML statement? compare the result

  • Automatic load balance for oracle RAC

    Hi there,
    we have application, that use local oracle 9i database and every users use terminal application. That meaning, users do connect to hostname via terminal and invoke application.
    We want migrate to RAC with cluster composed with 2 nodes. On every node must be
    unique oracle_sid, but database is same on disk array.
    My question is how configure users terminal profile which be comensatory automatic load balance .
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This software simulates a real environment.
    It creates a schema with tables, sequence, index, functions, etc..
    Preferably in a client host it simulates several users (configurable) connecting to the database.
    Then the test is simulated like in the real environment.
    Check this:

  • Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit - blue screen error on both nodes

    Hi Everyone,
    I installed Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit, The installation was successfull and crs_state -t shows all services in two nodes are online.
    When executed a select query with 100 sessions( For performance evaluation using Transaction generator ) ,the machine got crashed and blue screen is appeared on two nodes. I restrated the machines and and starts the same evaluation ,bt the same bug is repeating.
    Can anyone suggest a solution to solve this issue? Is our hardware is not sufficient ? Shall we need to perform any
    specific settings in Oracle RAC setup for performance evaluations?
    Is our settings for load balancing is not enough? ( We added "Load Balancing= On" on tnsnames.ora on client for load
    balancing)
    The following machine configuration is used for Oracle RAC setup
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
    Ram :4GB.

    Oracle RAC , Clusterware 11g R2 64 Bit.i guess you have installed/configured RAC using VMware. i guess, the problem is with your RAM size. how much disk space and RAM size you have allocated for each machine?

  • Oracle rac 11g installation

    Hi
    Am planning to install oracle RAC 11g on linux server. Have doubt on installation of clusterware or grid infrastructure first .?
    I think grid infrastructure covers clusterware and ASM both and then oracle 11g software to be installed.
    But how to download grid insfrastructure software. Will it come with oracle 11g software..? or need to download it seperately.?
    Because when i try to download oracle RAC 11g which gives link to download the 11g software not grid.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    Its called "oracle one node rac"  you will find plenty of documents on metalink, extract is below, hope this helps you to understand the differences.
    Oracle RAC Database : Oracle RAC database is a clustered database. It can have more than one instance running on one or more hosts. To make is database RAC , there is another software needs to be installed called Oracle Grid infrastructure which takes care of multinode sync, ASM, Oracle restart etc. Oracle GI is necessary as a base of Oracle RAC. In Oracle RAC, the load is balanced across multiple instance of databases running on different nodes. This is best for Production database. Failure of any instance is abstracted from user and forwarded to another instance from the database server pool. No of instances can be controlled using Policy Managed or Admin Managed.
    Oracle RAC One Node : Some time we need to have RAC databases but donot need many instances, why? Simple answers to it is leverage the high availability of RAC. The Oracle RAC One node is a RAC DB runs on one host. The advantage is it saves your resource, can to converted to full RAC any time, Cluster fail over i.e. the Database instance is moved to new instance in case of any failure on host known as Instance Relocation,easy to upgrade etc. This type of database is well suited for small production and dev/test environments.

  • Oracle RAC 11g query

    Hi All,
    I am new to Oracle RAC 11g, facing a issue, Request all to help.
    1) What is the instance id means which we get from gv$session in Oracle RAC setup?
    2) What is differnce between Session failure and node failure?
    3) If session fail, then client should connect to node1(to which session previously connected) or node2?
    Thanks

    1) What is the instance id means which we get from gv$session in Oracle RAC setup?Instance ID is unique for each instance in clustered database.
    2) What is differnce between Session failure and node failure?Session Failure - when the connection to an instance is lost, SESSION failover results only in the establishment of a new connection to another Oracle RAC node
    Node Failure/Eviction - we can say hardware fails, the Cluster Manager reports the change in the cluster's membership to Global Resource Directory (GRD)
    Resource directory which consists of both Global enqueue service & cache service
    3) If session fail, then client should connect to node1(to which session previously connected) or node2?You have to configure in SERVICE.

    Please reply soonYou know that the modifications you'have done on spfile are not active until you restart DB. So why don't you want to modify the spfile by "alter system ... scope=spfile" commands? I don't see the point to create pfile, modify it and recreate spfile...

    Hi,
    RAC is a database in a cluster. One Database opened by one o more instances in one or more hosts.
    Note: RAC is not a cluster, but a Database cluster.
    To allow database be clustered, we need to install a software cluster.
    We have some options, but Oracle developed your own software cluster actually named Grid Infrastructure for a cluster AKA Oracle Clusterware.
    To install RAC you need first install and configure your cluster.
    Before you start install Oracle cluster/RAC I recommend you start with concepts.
