Migrate single instance to rac

Hi all
Currently i have installation Oracle SE (10.2.0.1) i want migrate to rac 2 x Oracle SE (10.2.0.3) ?
Can i use RMAN? or i must use exp/imp ? i have difrent version of oracle so i dont knew
Thanks

Hi,
well there are two ways to do that.
A) use the existing infrastructure and the database and adding additional nodes.
B) setup up new SYSTEM/HARWARE RAC environment and move single database instance to RAC.
which OS you are using.
why dont you upgrade your ORACLE or you can make use to transpotable tablespce also.

  • Migrating single instance SAP and Oracle 11.2.0.1 database to Oracle RAC

    We have a single instance SAP Netweaver environment on Oracle 11.2.0.1 database and want to migrate to Oracle 11.2.0.1 RAC and ASM. The documents are for 11.2.0.2 and later but we want a way to:
    1. Migrate single instance SAP and Oracle 11.2.0.1 instance to ASM
    2. Configure the environment as four node Oracle 11.2.0.1 cluster
    Thus far, I have:
    1. Installed clusterware 11.2.0.1
    2. Installed four ASM instances
    My questions:
    1. We want to migrate the single instance database to same server and extend to four node cluster and ASM
    However, current SID for SAP and Oracle must remain the same. The problem I have is that the target database name needs to be same as source on same physical host.
    2. How would I use RMAN to migrate the single instance database to ASM for 11.2.0.1?
    3. How would I use rconfig after this step?

    3- We have installed four node Oracle 11.2.0.1 clusterware on the above nodesAnd what is the shared storage? For RAC, all shared storage devices for the cluster need to be available and usable by all ASM instances in that cluster.
    Issue- we have RAC 11.2 clusterware listener using SCAN and listeners for all four clusterware nodes.
    When we try to run the following RMAN command to migrate the single instance Oracle 11.2.0.1 datafiles it fails:The failure says: "+RMAN-10038: database session for channel ORA_DISK_1 terminated unexpectedly+". And this in itself does not tell you what the actual problem encountered is.
    4- How to register the single instance with all four ASM instances and network services to resolve the above issue?Register what instance? ASM does not need databases or instances to be registered. It is a storage management layer. The cluster (grid infrastructure) layer is the one that deals with the registration (and management) of the various services and resources on that grid (e.g. ASM instances, database instances, SCAN and VIP, Listener services, etc).
    5- Do we need to first run rconfig utility against single Oracle 11.2.0.1 instance to register with clusterware services BEFORE using RMAN to perform the datafile migration to ASM?Never used rconfig. See Support Note +RCONFIG : Frequently Asked Questions [ID 387046.1]+ for details.

  • Migrate from single instance to RAC manually

    Hi,
    I have a 10g database running in single instance.I have installed grid 11.2.0.2 in two nodes including the node where current instance is running,I have installed 10g again in a seperate mount point in both the nodes .It has the same patches as single instance 10g home.Now how to migrate from single instance to RAC manually.
    Thanks,
    Sekar

    -restore this database into 11g ASM if its not already on ASM.
    -upgrade this database to 11g from 10g on single instance.
    -Now Converting Single Instance on a Cluster to Oracle RAC ,here you have different option to perform this once its 11g database after upgrade.
    using rconfig
    using dbca or manually.

Now I need convert this single instance(Persons) in a Rac database, that is I want to have two RAC database(Cars and the new Persons).
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • How to convert from single instance to RAC?

    Hi, I have one environment it is version is 10.2.0.4 in linux SUSE.
    I decided to move this environment to 10.2.0.4 Real applicaiton cluster has two nodes in linux red-hat.
    Firstly,
    I install 10.2.0.1 rac on two new machine in linux red hat.
    Then I upgrade my rac to 10.2.0.4 from 10.2.0.
    Now I want to move the single instance to RAC,
    Is there an anathoer way that different from export , import?

    Besides the obvious Export-Import which do not want to consider (although it would be the neatest method !), look the 4th conversion scenario under paragraph D.3.2 "Single-Instance to RAC Conversion Scenarios" at
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14203/cvrt2rac.htm#BABFCAHF
    The 4th conversion scenario is "Converting a single-instance Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) to an 10g Release 2 (10.2) RAC database, running out of a different Oracle home, and where the host where the single-instance database is running is not one of the nodes of the RAC database".

  • Single Instance to RAC on P570

    I am looking for some help in the form of a best practice or how to document for migrating a single instance Oracle Env from HP-UX (I think it is HP Unix) to a multi-Node RAC Env on IBM P570 series servers. Current version is 9i and we will be going to 10gR2 and then potentially to 11g as well. I understand when going to P Series Servers that there are several considerations.

    That's the easiest option. It will require the most down time when compared to others. Depending on the size, database, and requirements, it might be a viable option for you. Normally the amount of downtime required would not make it an option in most large shops.
    I'm not sure why you would need to do any conversion to RAC after. You can directly import to a RAC database.

  • Convert ASM single instance to RAC ASM instance...

    Hi, all
    Im installing OracleDatabase with RAC and I got an error on the Database Configuration Assistant that says "The ASM instance configured on the local node is a single instance. To manage this instance as a single-instance ASM restart DBCA and select the single instance database option. To manage this instance as RAC ASM, convert it to RAC ASM first".
    How I can convert it??
    Thanks

    See the link below for converting a single instance ASM to RAC ASM. The link is to the Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux. If your platform is not Linux, check the Install Guide for your OS.

  • Rconfig: converting a single instance to RAC instance

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the "rconfig" utility to convert a single instance to a RAC instance in an existing RAC cluster.
    I have modified the .xml file, and am trying to run the conversion from the 1st node in the 2 node cluster (where the single instance resides).
    The only error message i seem to be getting is below:
    <Response>
    <Result code="1" >
    Operation Failed
    </Result>
    <ErrorDetails>
    ORCL_DATA_ORCLCLN The specified diskgroup is not mounted.
    </ErrorDetails>
    </Response>
    </Convert>
    </ConvertToRAC></RConfig>
    Now I dont really understand why I would be getting that message as the instance is up and running and ASM disk group is mounted on node1 at the time i run the rconfig command, though its not clear to me if I also need to somehow mount the ASM disk group on the second node prior to running the rconfig command??
    node1:
    bash-3.00$ asmcmd -p
    ASMCMD [+] > lsdg
    State Type Rebal Unbal Sector Block AU Total_MB Free_MB Req_mir_free_MB Usable_file_MB Offline_disks Name

    State Type Rebal Unbal Sector Block AU Total_MB Free_MB Req_mir_free_MB Usable_file_MB Offline_disks Name
    I have attached the output of the alert log during the rconfig conversion of the target database, but it all looks pretty standard to me (keep in mind i am an oracle novice!).

    So I managed to get the disk group mounted on the second node, and re-ran the rconfig process.
    I got a little further, but encountered another error which is displayed below:
    -bash-3.00$ rconfig racconv.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <RConfig>
    <ConvertToRAC>
    <Convert>
    <Response>
    <Result code="1" >
    Operation Failed
    </Result>
    <ErrorDetails>
    /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs Data File is not shared across all nodes in the cluster
    </ErrorDetails>
    </Response>
    </Convert>
    </ConvertToRAC></RConfig>
    I am not using a shared oracle home, each node in the cluster has its own oracle installation residing on local disk. Is a shared oracle home a pre-requisite for usin rconfig?
    I have provided the .xml file I am using below:
    -bash-3.00$ cat racconv.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  • IBM's GPFS for REHL4/5 and a single instance (non RAC) 10gR2 environment

    I've looked high and low for a clear support statement of IBM's GPFS for RHEL4 or RHEL5 in a non RAC 10gR2 implementation. Does anybody have a pointer that would explain Oracle's support or lack there of?
    Thank you,
    Martha C.

    For RHEL O/S level issues, there would be no support. You would need a ULN support license for generic O/S questions and you would need to switch to OEL.
    For non-ULN customers with a database CSI, O/S level support is provided only on issues specifically related to the OCFS2 or ASMLib packages; for generic O/S questions you would need a ULN license.
    Perhaps folk over in the DATABASE forum could clarify Oracle's RDBMS support policy for this environment, but succinctly: no O/S support without a ULN license, subject to directly-related OCFS2/ASMLib issues.
