Need RAC/ASM multinode flash cache configuration advice

We have a working two-node RAC database. We are installing a new 640gb fusion flash card in each node. The card is a double-card, so that it shows up as two devices: /dev/fioa and /dev/fiob on each node.
We have created two private disk groups, one on each node. The disk group on node 1 is "+FLASHCACHE" and the disk group on node 2 is "+FLASHCACHE2".
We haven't found any specific examples of how to configure the init parameters for flashcache on RAC/ASM. We are guessing that we should do the following. If someone would critique and confirm or suggest something different, we would appreciate it very much!
prod1.db_flash_cache_file='+FLASHCACHE/flash1'
prod2.dg_flash_cache_file='+FLASHCACHE2/flash2'
*.db_flash_cache_size=600G
Thanks for any advice.
Jim

Hi Jim,
prod1.db_flash_cache_file='+FLASHCACHE/flash1'
prod2.dg_flash_cache_file='+FLASHCACHE2/flash2'
*.db_flash_cache_size=600GYour configuration is correct.
Database Smart Flash Cache is not shared across RAC nodes; it is private to each RAC instance. For that reason, each RAC instance must define its own local flash cache file path. When the flash cache is managed by ASM, a separate diskgroup is needed for the flash cache of each instance.
You can use ALTER SYSTEM to set db_flash_cache_size to zero to disable the flash cache. You can also use ALTER SYSTEM to set the flash cache back to its original size to reenable it.

Db flash cache file on ASM for RAC

Dear guys/gurus,
I am installing RAC 11.2 on Solaris 10 sparc. After RAC intallation finish i want to do the db flash cache.
On each node, i have 4 SSD Disk and want to create 2 diskgroup FLASH1 on node1 and FLASH2 on node2 for db_flash_cache_file
inst1.db_flash_cache_file=+FLASH1/flashfile01
inst2.db_flash_cache_file=+FLASH2/flashfile02
The question is, in RAC how can i create a local diskgroup example FLASH1 is only mount on node1 and the same for FLASH2. Because when the database startup it try to mount FLASH1 on both node, also FLASH2 and thrown an error if node 2 can not see +FLASH1.
Please advise, So thanks and best regards

Hi Sharma,
RAC and DB version is 11.2.0.2. Yes, as you said, it may involved in hard dependency
When i start db the error come : Unable to start ‘ora.dbvn.db’ because it has a ‘hard’ dependency on ‘ora.FLASH1.dg’
./crsctl start res ora.dbvn.db –p | grep DEPENDENCIES
START_DEPENDENCY=hard(ora.DATA.dg,ora.ARCH.dg,ora.REDO1.dg, ora.REDO2.dg,ora.FLASH1.dg) …

Flash Cache is not Flash Disk. Right ?

In our Non-Exadata RAC DBs we use LUNs from Hitachi VSP frame. For very busy DBs like Siebel , we wanted to place our Online Redo logs on high speed disks.
So, our Hitachi SAN admins have allocated LUNs exclusively from Flash Disks within Hitachi VSP frame and we have created Redo Log diskgroup based on these 'Thick provisioned' disks.
This has increased the performance of our RAC DBs significantly.
As I understand, In exadata, you don't have the normal flash disk. Instead, the flash modules are mounted in a PCIexpress card.
In CellCLI> list physicaldisk detail you can see multiple entries like below belonging to the 'flash disk'
          name:                   FLASH_1_0
         diskType:               FlashDisk
         luns:                   1_0
         makeModel:              "Sun Flash Accelerator F40 PCIe Card"
         physicalFirmware:       UI39
         physicalInsertTime:     2013-09-13T17:56:10+08:00
         physicalSerial:         5L0066Y5
         physicalSize:           93.13225793838501G
         slotNumber:             "PCI Slot: 1; FDOM: 0"
         status:                 normal
Although these flash cards can store persistent data because it has battery in it in server goes down, is it actually used to store persistent data.
Smart flash cache is just a caching mechanism for frequently accessed data. Right ? We cannot create diskgroups based on disks from these 'Flash Disks' . Right ?

Hi GaryB,
The short answer to your question is: yes, it's possible to use configure flash as permanent storage using "flash griddisks". But in the case of redo logs, it would actually make them perform slower.
The longer explanation: foreground redo writes (the "log file sync" wait event) are very latency sensitive, so it's important for write to be acknowledged as fast as possible. Flash is considerably faster than disk, but not nearly as fast as battery-backed RAM. And Exadata storage servers do have a RAM write cache on their disk controllers. So you will get the best foreground redo write performance from RAM cache write, except when the write cache is full, at which point redo writes need to wait on disk.
Since 11.2.2.4.0 was released in 2012, Exadata has the capability to write redo to _both_ RAM-cached disk and flash memory, and use whichever returns first. So you get the lightning-fast latency of RAM cache unless the cache is full, and worst-case latency is the speed of flash. This capability, smart flash logging, is enabled by default on new Exadata builds; you can check its status by running "view flashlog detail" in CellCLI.
More details in the official whitepaper: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/exadata/exadata-smart-flash-cache-366203.pdf
Hope this helps!

How to restore (not duplicate) DB from RAC ASM to non ASM

Hello everybody,
i am trying to recover db from RAC+ASM to non ASM no RAC node. I am running Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4) on Win2003 Server. I have functional backup from my prod system.
Here are my steps:
*1. On prod server i make backup running this script in RMAN*
configure channel device type 'SBT_TAPE' parms'SBT_LIBRARY=oracle.disksbt,ENV=(BACKUP_DIR=e:\backup)';
RUN {
backup device type SBT_TAPE database tag zal20081129;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup device type SBT_TAPE archivelog ALL tag zal20081129;
*2. I prepared clon instance on another server (The same Oracle version) and start it to nomount mode.*
*3. I copied the backup from prod server to clon server to exactly the same path. (e:\backup)*
*4. I connect to RMAN on my new node and I use the DBID parameter and I restore controlfile.*
rman
connect target /
set DBID 3079749916
startup nomount
run {
allocate CHANNEL CTAPE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS'SBT_LIBRARY=oracle.disksbt,ENV=(BACKUP_DIR=f:\backup)';
allocate channel CDISK DEVICE TYPE DISK;
restore controlfile from 'f:\backup\78k91lrn_1_1';
alter database mount;
*5.Then I check the backup, crosscheck etc.*

Any suggestions???

Hi,
thanks for you quick answer. But I do restore to the local file system, even if the log says:
restoring datafile 00001 to +DATA/agost/datafile/system.272.668509367
restoring datafile 00002 to +DATA/agost/datafile/undotbs1.273.668509387 .....
all the datafiles are correctly restored. I think oracle uses the parameter db_create_file_dest and creates the files there.
I tried also the script with SET NEW NAME:
run {

dont know what to do.
There must be way how to recover it. I think my first try (without SET NEWNAME) is closer to the end, there is only need to "repair" the online logs.
Any other suggestions?
thanks

Creating Standby for RAC ASM database using RMAN

We are having a Primary Site of 3-Node RAC ASM and we takes daily RMAN backup with the following script
run
allocate channel c1 device type disk format 'g:\rmanbackup\%U';
backup database;
backup archivelog from time 'trunc(sysdate-1)' until time 'sysdate';
We have configured 3-Node RAC Cluster in Standby site. We have copied the rman backup folder to one of the Nodes in the Standby site.
Request your help to restore the RMAN backup. The backup size is around 200GB. We do not know how to use DUPLICATE DUPICATE option in RMAN as if it is restoring from the Primary Location, then transferring 200GB over the network will not be possible.
We need a solution to restore it directly from the Backup folder available in the DR Server. We are not using catalog.
OS : Windows IA 64-bit
RDBMS : Oracle 10.2.0.4
Storage : ASM
DB Nodes at Primary Site, Node1, Node2, Node3
DB instances at primary site : ORCL1, ORCL2, ORCL3
DB Nodes at Standby Site, Node101, Node102, Node103
DB instances at Standby site : ORCL1, ORCL2, ORCL3
DB Name : ORCL on both the sites.

When you create the standby, you can use catalogued backups, stored somewhere local to your standby servers.
For that, they need to be copied to the standby server, or taken from production there, and after restoring the standby controlfile on the standby server, use rman to catalogue the backups to be used. Then, you can use DUPLICATE... and it will be reading your local backup files.
The directory g:\rmanbackup of your rman script is local to standby servers ?
The docs for this have a lot of details: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/rcmbackp.htm

Restore DB13 Oracle backup of RAC+ASM to Standalone server with ASM only

Dear Experts,
My SAP ECC System is on Oracle 11g with RAC on ASM. I am taking the backup using DB13 with init<SID>.sap profile as attached.
I want to restore this backup on single node System with only ASM(no RAC). (ASM File system structure remains the same)
As per my finding and as per Note 1627541 - BR*Tools support for Oracle ASM and Exadata/ODA, it says use only BRRECOVER to restore the database.
Can anyone please assist me, in restoring the database. As in step by step commands or points to follow the restore.
Thanks,
KK

Hi Yayati,
Please refer to SAP guidelines on the configuration for using brtools on Oracle RAC + ASM
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0063fdad-49f6-2e10-22bc-
c8c4c7f9e055?QuickLink=ora&ov…
Additional configuration information can be checked under SAP note
Note 1598594 - BR*Tools configuration for Oracle inst. under "oracle" user
you need to adapt your init<SID>.sap file according to the recommendations suggested.
Post this you may use brtools to backup and perform restoration as well.
Hope this helps.

Deepak Kori

Single-Instance ASM to RAC ASM !!

At the moment i am in process to create a RAC ASM instance on two nodes. When i was creating ASM instance it gave me error that unable to connect to crsd on Node2.
So i manually added asm instance using srvctl on node2. It is registered with CRS but it is not online. I tried starting up by using crs_start or srvctl start asm but asm resource is down on both the nodes.
I have started up manually both the ASM instance and created some Diskgroups, Now i have to create a RAC enabled DB for which it is showing convert single-instance ASM to RAC ASM.
What needs to be done.

Hi
because the service ASM was added individually the crs stack is unable to recognise the clustering of ASM. In fact this has just made the ASM on two nodes function as two seperate ASM instances. They were never clustered. So i think convertion is one option. I came here while looking for one such doc. My 10.2.0.1 RAC install on windows 2003 went on a toss.. while dbca was trying to set up the clustered ASM and configure the instance, the primary node crashed and when it was recovered, i could notice the ASM instance is created on one node only.. When i try to invoke dbca again, neither am allowed to create an ASM instance for RAC/convert the existing one to RAC. Until now what I have found is that if such case arise, the quicker way is to revert everything back, clean up the server of clusterware and re install every thing... but before am looking for my options..
does any body have an idea? please share
sarat.

R12 Cloning RAC ASM to Single

Hi,
customer has 3 environments: 2 single (dev and pre) and 1 RAC-ASM (prod). We are doing the first complete refresh from PROD to PRE, then from RAC to Single, following Note Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone [Article ID 406982.1] , which has a reference to Cloning an Oracle RAC System, which refers to follow Note Cloning Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 RAC-Enabled Systems with Rapid Clone [ID 559518.1].
Following this Note, you have to create a Database Image in an stage directory, then you need unless the same database size as free space for this db image. This is not an option for very big application databases, then our idea is not to create the db image, but cloning database separatelly, following steps in Option6 in cloning Note 406982.1.
The question is, we have to refresh DB and app tier from PROD (RAC ASM) to PRE (single), colud we ignore Note " Cloning Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 RAC-Enabled Systems with Rapid Clone [ID 559518.1]" and follow Clone Article ID 406982.1 specially Option 6, recovering PROD database separatelly with rman duplicate or we have to follow Note 559518.1 and create a db image? Any experience cloning R12 from RAC to single?
Thanks,

Can't seem to clear Flash cache in Firefox 4 on Windows 7 (64-bit)

When updating my work's webpage, I cannot seem to get a certain flash component to update. It works fine in IE so I know that it's not on the server's side. I have tried clearing all cache and even private browsing. Nothing I do will cause Firefox to show the updated information. Is there any other way to clear the flash cache other than using Firefox's Clear Recent history feature?

Thank you for finding that driver Mikey. The information at the download site is confusing me. The first version listed is the version I have BUT it appears to me that the first listed applies to Windows7 32 bit. I have 64 bit and that number is off the wall. Also, I was looking for Broadcom since that's the driver I have. Somehow you were able to recognize the driver. I made a restore point and removed Ready Comm and it worked out okay. I would hope sometime in the future Lenovo would identify their drivers so that people who aren't familiar with all of this can recognize what they need. I think you're probably right that that is the driver I have. Thank you again.

Moving RAC/ASM to single-node non-rac SET NEWNAME not working

Good morning,
I'm trying to restore a rac/asm database to a non-rac environment to simulate disaster recovery under worst-case circumstances.
Here is as faras I have been able to get
1) Restored pfile
2) modified pfile to remove references to RAC settings (note, did not set db_file_create_dest, db_file_name_convert, etc)
3) Restored controlfile successfully
4) Mounted database
At this time I run the following rman script which covers all temp and datafiles (there's some skipped numbers where datafiles have been removed previously)
run {
set until time "to_date('2009/11/29 03:00:00','YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')";

I noticed that it's trying to create the datafile. Shouldn't it be giving me a "Restoring datafiles from backup piece" clause? Also it appears to be trying to recreate the datafiles in their old location. Any thoughts on how to get around this.
Using the db_file_name_convert does allow me to restore files to the filesystem, but they use names such as "omf_*" and I'm not sure if it's converting the files properly from ASM format.
Thanks!

Hi,
I assume your problem is either in your pfile ( but you indicate you have removed all RAC settings), or in your control file.
I would recommend to remove the control files and create them later as soon as the datafiles have been restored, using the commands:
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "OMST01" NORESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING NOARCHIVELOG
-- SET STANDBY TO MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE
MAXLOGFILES 100
MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
MAXDATAFILES 1024
MAXINSTANCES 8
MAXLOGHISTORY 10210
LOGFILE
< your logfiles >
DATAFILE
< your datafiles >
CHARACTER SET <your character set>;So the steps are
Startup nomount with the pfile
Restore the datafiles using rman
Shutdown the database
Use above script to create the control files
It is possible you need to use the RESETLOGS option instead of the NORESETLOGS

11.2.0.3 RAC ASM Pri with Normal FileSys Active Standby Post Failover

The architecture consist of two node rac asm primary and one normal filesystem active standby all on Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.3. With basic Broker Configuration.
Performed a managed broker switchover and not the Normal Filesystem has the primary role and the standby consist of the two node asm rac. I want to switchback, i.e., Former Primary -> Primary Role and Former Standby -> Standby Role.
However my broker contains the following:
DGMGRL> show configuration verbose;

I've found a recommendation to increase the value of FastStartFailoverThreshold='90';
Though I continue to encounter the above configuration error.
Recommendations are appreciated!

ASA 5512-X - vlan bandwidth configuration advice.

I have an ASA5512-X and need configuration advice.
I have a WAN connection coming in with 50mb of bandwidth and need to throttle the bandwidth usage for each vlan.
VLAN1 allocated 192,168.1.x restricted to 25mb of bandwidth
VLAN2 allocated 192.168.2.x restricted to 15mb of bandwidth
VLAN3 allocated 192.168.3.x restricted to 7mb of bandwidth
VLAN4 allocated 192.168.4.x restricted to 3mb of bandwidth
Can someone advise of the commands?

Any thoughts?

Need help setting up a "Caching Nameserver"

Hi, I am running (non server) mac osx on several machines at home
hidden behind a router using IP's 192.168.1.xxx.
I am connected to the internet by a cable modem with roadrunner
being the ISP de jour.
All of my machines use a fixed IP.
I recently bought a mac mini to use as a home server and have moved
my databases, wiki and subversion to the server.
I recently noticed that I could not send mail from any mac to any
other machine on the lan ( postfix reports name resolution failures).
I have a partial solution: I can sent mail if I address with the IP
in brackets ie jerry@[192.168.1.20]. This is not terribly
satisfying...
My linux box can send mail because the nsswitch mechanism can tell
libc to check /etc/hosts
I noticed that Tiger ships with named, a launchd config file and a
bunch of named config files.
I guess I need some pointers/discussion/tutorials/hints of how to set up the
nameserver in a private net ( and maintain access to the external world).
So suppose I have machines named m1...mn on the lan and they have
IP's 192.168.1.(n=1,n)
1) where/what entries are needed ( 192.168.1.1 is my linksys router) in
the config files in /var/named.
2) what restrictions are there on "domain names" . The "Sharing"
config panel in macosx seems to insist on having the machine
"domain" be "local". In /etc/hosts I have used "localdomain" and "local"
with apparenting no change in functionality.
3) how is dealing with names outside of the local lan handled?
4) I am currently booting the macs using dhcp with a fixed ip option. It
seems like this might have to change I think the external name servers
are picked up from the linksys router ( which probably gets them from
roadrunner).
5) what should change in resolv.conf?
Anything else I need to know?
Jerry

A "caching nameserver" usually means you setup no domain of your own and use the nameserver just to cache you lookups (by just starting and using the default config nameserver).
To make it more efficient you can add forwarders - your ISP DNS IP's (the ones you get from DHCP - ipconfig getpacket en0) and maybe turn off IPv6 too.
To start the DNS you edit the /etc/hostconfig to say DNSSERVER=-YES- and reboot (or enter named + enter in terminal to start it immediately).
If you install webmin on the DNS-to-be machine you should be able to use that to configure your internal domain.
http://www.webmin.com/download.html
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.360.tar.gz
1) Use webmin to get started.
2) leave /etc/hosts alone.
.local is the bonjour domainname
Use some domainname without special characters, maybe with the topdomain .private like home.private. On the DNS machine add that to search domain in Network settings and just the hostname in Sharing setup.
3) That's is handled automatically. The DNS server must be able to access the root servers and forwarders if you have any. The domainname you use will prevent you from accessing servers using the same domainname on Internet if it exists there.
4) Only use the internal DNS.
5) Nothing, it's autoconfig.

Installing RAC/ASM for OCP preparation

Hello Fellow Forumites,
I just passed OCA in 11g.
Now I want to study for OCP.
My approach has always been to take a self study, before registering for an instructor led class. To achieve this, I am currently using Sybex (Sybex OCP Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Professional Study Guide Exam 1Z0-053).
My question is how do i install RAC and ASM on my server.
I have checked the hardware requirement for rac and my server passed, it is also running on win 2003 server, but if i want to configure rac /asm, i get this error telling me that it can not be installed on my server.
Your kind help will highly be appreciated.
I forgot to mention that i am using Enterprise Edition 11g R2.
Thanks
Harrison

If you're getting an error installing software, you're probably better off posting this in the Database Installation.
When you do, it would be quite helpful to post the exact error stack you are getting and exactly what step of the installation process you are on.
