Migrating Standalone Grid Infrastructure Servers to a Cluster 11.2.0.1 Linux 5.9

Hey guys! Hope you all are doing good
I am kinda confused migrating my 11.2.0.1 Oracle Restart installation to a RAC two node (aim is to add a second node along with migrating the existing one to the cluster pool).
Running on OEL 5.9 x86_64
I see that we can switch the RAC mode from 'off' to 'on' and use the existing clusterware binaries. I am trying to follow the below Oracle documentation for linux
6.2 Migrating Standalone Grid Infrastructure Servers to a Cluster
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e41961/rem_orcl.htm#CWLIN347
In this document, I have completed step 5 which is de-configuring Oracle Restart. All smooth.
The problem starts here. Next step 6 says
Prepare the server for Oracle Clusterware configuration, as described in this document. In addition, choose if you want to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster in the same location as Oracle Restart, or in a different location:
You would have noticed that there's a note which says that the process uses config wizard which is available with rel 11.2.0.2 or later. Mine's 11.2.0.1.
From the doc
Note:
This procedure uses Oracle Clusterware Configuration Wizard, available with release 11.2.0.2 and later.
So how do I proceed from here? Can the existing binaries be used? If yes, how? Can't find much information. Thanks for your valuable time.
I hope I am not missing anything..
Warm Regards
Abhishek

Hello,
Then why to they say for example here the following:
The Oracle GSD (Global Service Daemon) process, ora.gsd, is typically offline. You must enable Oracle GSD manually if you plan to use an Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters database on the Oracle Clusterware 11g release 2 (11.2) cluster.

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

11.2 Standalone Grid Infrastructure installation to Clustered Grid Insall

Quick question:
Currently we have a 11.2.0.1 standalone grid infrastructure installation with ASM instance running on server a1. And there are few databases running under the +ASM instance on a1. We are planning to make a1, a2 as a 2-node real application cluster. Is there a way to convert the standalone grid infrastructure installation on server a1 to a clustered grid infrastructure installation along with a2 with out de-installing the existing standalone grid infrastructure on a1 and re-installing freshly?
Thanks

Hi Boochi,
Thanks for responding. May be I am not clear enough in my post. Database conversion will be the next step, my question is about the actual grid infrastructure installation...Currently a1 server has been configured to work as standalone grid infrastructure, but our requirement is to convert to a 2-node RAC with server a2. Generally, I would go by de-installing the existing standalone grid infrastructure running on a1 and re-install the clustered-grid infrastructure with nodes a1 and a2. I am wondering if there is a way without de-installing the existing standalone grid infrastructure??

Oracle 11.2 standalone grid infrastructure - change hostname

Hi
I have changed hostname of my server running RHEL 5.3 with Oracle 11.2 Grid Infrastructure (standalone). After I changed the hostname of the server, the crs daemon stopped working and I cannot connect to my +ASM instance any longer.
In Oracle 10g2it was enough to run localconfig delete, localconfig add
What should I do in 11.2 ?
Thanks for help
Groxy

Hi Groxy,
I recently found myself asking the same question and after a fair amount of digging around I found a way to do it. Your question is now a few months old, so maybe you have found the solution already, but if not the key is using roothas.pl rather than localconfig. I have written a brief blog post covering the approach I used, so please check that out if you want more information.

Grid Infrastructure Does Not Start Cluster Resources

Hello Gurus,
I configured a 2 node RAC cluster using VirtualBox.It has been running fine all along and each time I started one of the nodes, I will definitely see all of other Cluster Resources will be started eventually.
However, after I left it untouched for a month (VM is stopped), I found out that after starting up the machine, only local resource which is ONLINE.
This is what I get:

Where do I supposed to check to see why the Cluster Resource like SCAN Listener, Database and etc not running?
I've been checking on the logs but I haven't figured out what I should be looking at.
Can some body help me?
Thank you in advanced,

The I started looking in the /u01/app/11203/grid/log/oel6-112-rac1/agent/crsd/oraagent_grid/oraagent_grid.log file and found out that at the same time (2013-07-01 22:39:22),
I saw the following lines:

But that does not prevent the asm from being started properly.
The only local resource that didn't start up automatically was the LISTENER.
The following command shows that the local LISTENER has hard dependency on ora.cluster_vip_net1.type which is the ora.oel6-112-rac1.vip
[grid@oel6-112-rac1 bin]$ ./crsctl status resource ora.LISTENER.lsnr -p | grep -ie dependencies

STOP_DEPENDENCIES=hard(ora.net1.network)
[grid@oel6-112-rac1 bin]$ ./crsctl status resource ora.net1.network -p | grep -ie dependencies
START_DEPENDENCIES=
STOP_DEPENDENCIES=
The ora.net1.network resource started properly and I didn't see that this prevent the ora.oel6-112-rac1.vip from starting up.
The following lines also show that the ora.asm resource is has a weak dependency only against the ora.LISTENER.lsnr
[grid@oel6-112-rac1 bin]$ ./crsctl status resource ora.racdb.db -p | grep -ie dependencies
START_DEPENDENCIES=hard(ora.DATADG.dg,ora.FRADG.dg) weak(type:ora.listener.type,global:type:ora.scan_listener.type,uniform:ora.ons,global:ora.gns) pullup(ora.DATADG.dg,ora.FRADG.dg)

I'm a little lost here.
A suggestion would be very much appreciated.

11g R2 RAC - Grid Infrastructure installation - "root.sh" fails on node#2

Hi there,
I am trying to create a two node 11g R2 RAC on OEL 5.5 (32-bit) using VMWare virtual machines. I have correctly configured both nodes. Cluster Verification utility returns on following error \[which I believe can be ignored]:
Checking daemon liveness...
Liveness check failed for "ntpd"
Check failed on nodes:
rac2,rac1
PRVF-5415 : Check to see if NTP daemon is running failed
Clock synchronization check using Network Time Protocol(NTP) failed
Pre-check for cluster services setup was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
While Grid Infrastructure installation (for a Cluster option), things go very smooth until I run "root.sh" on node# 2. orainstRoot.sh ran OK on both. "root.sh" run OK on node# 1 and ends with:
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB.   Actual 1967 MB    Passed

I know this info may not be enough to figure out what the problem may be. Please let me know what should I look for to find the issue and fix it. Its been like almost two weeks now :-(

ASMCA needs Oracle Grid Infrastructure to configure ASM

Hi,
I am trying to install ASM 11gR2 on RHEL5. I am using VMWare Workstation for this.
I have already installed Oracle database software and Grid Infrastructure on this machine.While installing Grid Infrastructure, I chose install Grid Infrastructure software only.
Once this was successfull I am trying to create ASM instance using asmca.
Regarding the disks, I am using raw devices. I created a virtual disk which I have partitioned but haven't formatted it. Done this to create raw device
[root@localhost sysconfig]# /bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb
/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 8, minor 16
and have added
ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="sdb",RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"
to /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
Then I tried creating the disk but it failed. So I did the following steps to fix it
[root@dhcppc2 Softwares]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/sdb
Marking disk "VOL1" as an ASM disk: [FAILED]
[oracle@oracle11gR2 grid]$ tail -f /var/log/oracleasm
Device "/dev/sdb" is not a partition
To fix this
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/sbin/asmtool -C -l /dev/oracleasm -n VOL1 -s /dev/sdb -a force=yes
asmtool: Device "/dev/sdb" is not a partition
asmtool: Continuing anyway
Now I am able to view the asmdisk through listdisks option.
Have set following environment variables before running asmca
[oracle@oracle11gR2 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/Grid
[oracle@oracle11gR2 ~]$ export PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/Grid/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/oracle/bin
When I am running ASMCA I am facing this error - Oralce Grid Infrastrcture is not configured properly. ASMCA needs Oracle Grid Infrastructure to configure ASM
Any thoughts?

Hi Aman,
Thanks for the reply.
Is it possible to configure 11gR2 ASM on single instance databases ? I have done the config with 10g but I am struggling with the Grid Infrastructure. For eg: when I do deinstall of Grid Infrstructure

Press Enter after you finish running the above commands

I don't see any commands to run but the deinstall blindly says that
"Press Enter after you finish running the above commands"
and while looking at the net I found out it might be something similar to this
/u01/Softwares/oracle11gR2/deinstall/perl/bin/perl -I/u01/Softwares/oracle11gR2/deinstall/perl/lib -I/u01/Softwares/oracle11gR2/deinstall/crs/install /u01/Softwares/oracle11gR2/deinstall/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -force -delete -paramfile /u01/Softwares/oracle11gR2/deinstall/response/deinstall_Ora11g_gridinfrahome1.rsp
Should I run the previous command as root.
Am I doing things in the right way or am I missing something here?

Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server or Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster?

Hi,
I want to install a single instance database and I want to use ASM.
Now my configuration is only one node but in the future probably it scale on multiple node.
So, can I use Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster for only one node or I must use Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server?
Regards

If you plan later ro use more than one server, than install the cluster grid infrastructure. It is possible to install on one server.

Install a grid infrastructure for a cluster for single node Windows Server

Hello,
Can you suggest me how to install a Oracle Single Node RAC 11g on a Windows Server 2008 x64 bits? It's for testing purposes and I don't need two nodes. I know that Linux is better, but my company only uses Windows servers. Our former consultant was able to do it, but didn't tell us how to and that server was lost.
I know that we have to install first Grid Infrastructure. Running the "Oracle Grid Infrastructure" installer, I could successfully install a "Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server". But that grid is not for a RAC database. When trying to install the Database software, it allowed to me to only install "Single instance database", not "Real Application Cluster database installation".
Running the "Oracle Grid Infrastructure" installer, I tried to select option:
"Install and Configure Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster" -> Typical Installation:
SCAN Name: SRVORAC-cluster
Validating SCAN information
INS-40922 Invalid SCAN Name - unresolvable to IP address.
Is it possible to install a grid infrastructure for a cluster for a single-node or one-node Windows Server ?

HI,
You probably have misconception about Single node RAC. This feature does not need that you have only one physical machine in a RAC, it actually means that in a RAC environment (2 or more nodes), you can run your database on only one node(single instance) and then later you can move this single instance to any other node of the RAC (so that you can do some patching on this node making your database available all the time). This also has some other benefits, see bellow.

Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server

As I understand and as the following doc indicated, to install Oracle database, I'd have to install Grid Infrastructure first. I am not configuring RAC/cluster, only on a standalone server.
I executed runinstaller, and choose " install the software only", then after I selected "configure oralce grid infrastructure for a standalone server", I am getting the following error:
[INS-40410] The installer has detected a configured instance of Oracle Grid Infrastructure software on the system
Please advice how this instance have been configured, and how to remove it before I can proceed?
Thanks!

Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server download

Hi there,
I am trying to install Oracle 11g but it says if I want to use ASM and oracle Restart then I must intsall Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server.
I am doing this installation on my home pc running Windows 7 to make sure it work, however, I downloaded Database 11g Enterprise/Standard Editions but i cannot find any download for Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server.
Can anyone please help as i am confused here??
I even went to the /stage directory of my 11g download and there is no folder called cluster or grid or anything.
Thanks in advance!!

When you go to OTN to download the software, click on the "See All" link next to the platform you are downloading and you'll see the links for GRID.
However, you do not need to install GRID if you don't plan on using ASM and Restart.

Please guide me how to resolve it...
Thank you for your guidance...

Sir,
Thanks for ur reply..
Before adding domain IPV6 is in disable state only. I didn't check after adding domain. Is there any possibility of IPV6
enables after domain addition. And also i have installed directly from local admin account. How to give admin rights to domain account to use for cluster.
Thanks for advice.
Expecting your reply..I don't know if IPV6 was enabled by AD installation. I pointed this issue due this happen with me (i.e IPV6 enabled). Check if it's enable, if yes, disable it.
I do not know if it is supported to install Oracle Clusterware on the same server where is installed/configred AD. But I don't recommend do that. Both provide service of high availability that should be installed on separate host.
