New 11g RAC Install (Linux-64)

I would like to get some advice.
I keep getting conflicting arguments - however my plans are to
first install Clusterware, next install ASM and then finally the database in an 8 node cluster.
Is this the best sequence ?
On another topic. An associate suggested we use ASM for voting disks and I thought that was
not recommended. Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance for your kind indugence with me.

Is this the best sequence ? - Setup Disk share Storage for OCR(280M), VOTE(280), SPFILE+ASM (50M), ASM(diskgroups)
- Make Pass Phrase and make node01 can connect all nodes(no ark password)
- install Oracle Clusterware
- Install Oracle Database at ASM_HOME (for asm)
(may Create ASM DISK groups)
- Install Oracle Database at Oracle database Home (for rdbms)
- if not create ASM Disk Groups, create them from use ORACLE_HOME=ASM HOME
- Create database (ORACLE_HOME= Oracle database Home)
- Create Database Service
By the way, read oracle document, that can help
Good Luck

New 11g Clusterware install encounters parkwebwin-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserv

Performing a new fresh install of Oracle 11g Clusterware and I continue to get the following error during the install:
ipAddress = 68.178.232.99
INFO: Query Returned: parkwebwin-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
INFO: Calling Query netQueries10.2.0.2.0 getMachineName
hostName = parkwebwin-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
INFO: Query Returned: parkwebwin-v02
INFO: Calling Query netQueries10.2.0.2.0 getMachineName
somehow these are show-stoppers for a fresh install of CRS on Red Hat Linux EL5.3 64bit.
Any Ideas on how to stop my linux server from seeing "parkwebwin-v02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net ?
and IP: 68.178.232.99
Thanks

68.178.232.99 is not in either of my RAC nodes /etc/hosts files
During the Clusterware install the "Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks" are successful
At the "Specify Cluster Configuration" I have
rac1.domain.com rac1-priv.domain.com rac1-vip.domain.com and I add the following:
rac2.domain.com rac2-priv.domain.com rac2-vip.domain.com

11g RAC install on virtual box hangs

Host - windows 7 64bit
guest - Oracle Enterprise linux 5.2 32bit
Virtualbox 3.2.6
Hi all,
I really need some help. I'm trying to install 11gr1 rac on Oracle Enterprise linux 5.2 32bit with nfs. The crs install goes fine, but when I want to install the database software, it just hangs, sometimes at 2%, sometimes at 45%. I can't open another terminal window or nothing, but the tick still goes black and white.
I'm using the following doc, and followed it exactly.I gave both nodes 1280 ram, 30 gig disk size, to grow as it's being used.
Any help will be welcome, I have been sitting with this issue for a month now, and have tried reinstalling from the os level numerus times.

Hi,
as far as I remember VirtualBox 3.2.6 does not support shared disks, therefore it's not possibe to set up RAC on it.
3.2.8 supports shared disks, and there's also information available on how to set RUC up on it: [http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVirtualBox.php]

Where are Oracle files in RAC on Linux

I took over a 2 nodes 11g RAC on Linux recently. The company hired a contract installed RAC late 2008 and did not left any document. Thus I do not know ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME. I looked into oratab, it exists but is empty. oraenv exist but not help. I tried to start the RAC but could not find find Oracle binaries. I tried to look at listener configuration, but could not find listener.ora file. There are directories like /u02/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1, but it is empty.
I did some thorough search using cmmands like below but find nothing useful.
find / |grep listener
find / |grep .ora
ls -Rl |grep <admin, init ...>
These files should be on the shared disk. Would shared diskmount under / in Linux? whould above commands apply to shared drive? Why I cannot find Oracle installed files.
Appreciate any opineans and sugegstion

Appreciate any opineans and sugegstionYour RAC is running ???
about /etc/oratab file. if you have create database by "dbca" you should find something.
By the way check about oracle processes on your sever.
$ ps -ef |grep oracle | grep smonYou should find processes about Oracle Instance.
Or check init*ora files at /u02/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/dbs/
$ ls /u02/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/dbs/*
*** PLease make you you have one ORACLE_HOME, not 2 ORACLE_HOME(for ASM and RDBMS)
about ORACLE_SID
example:
$ ps -ef |grep oracle | grep smon
oracle 27935 1 0 Jan13 ? 00:00:43 asm_smon_+ASM1
oracle 16161 1 0 Jun04 ? 00:23:02 ora_smon_DB1that mean... ORACLE_SID=DB1 for rdbms and use asm
OK... It' time to learn about your RAC and may help you about ORACLE Database
Example:
- find about CRS_HOME find crsctl in path bin
$ find /u02 -name crsctl -type f
/u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crsctl
I assume: CRS_HOME = /u02/app/oracle/crs
OR find (root user)
# grep ORA_CRS_HOME\= /etc/init.d/init.crsd
ORA_CRS_HOME=/u02/app/oracle/crsAfter that check Cluster running ???
# /u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crsctl check crs
CSS appears healthy
CRS appears healthy
EVM appears healthyIf not start it (root)
#/u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crsctl start crsAfter that check about resources're register in CRS
$ /u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crs_stat
$ /u02/app/oracle/crs/bin/crs_stat -tOr get information every resources:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/u02/app/oracle/crs/bin
$ for x in `crs_stat | grep NAME |awk -F\= '{print $2}' ` ; do crs_stat -p $x ; doneCheck them and post
Good Luck

Tnsentries in 11g RAC

Dear all,
We have 11g RAC installed on Solaris 5.10
Our failover TNS Entries are like this
TEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.85)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.94)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = HYDES)
TEST1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.85)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = HYDES)
whem am giving tnsping test and tnsping test1 from any client , it works fine..connection succeded..
but when am trying to connect using sqlplus user@test
am getting the error :
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
whereas I can able to connect sqlplus user@test1
Any ideas ?
Kai
LOCAL_LISTENER IS ALREADY set to the listener name on both the nodes..
I can able to connect from the server , but from any client it is giving this problem
Thanks
Kai

LOCAL_LISTENER is not supposed to be the listener name - it should be a tnsnames entry from the server's tnsnames.ora (in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin). Or it can be an embedded connect string such as "(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.85)(PORT = 1521))".
Check that LOCAL_LISTENER is configured correctly with "lsnrctl services <LISTENER_NAME>" on your server - you should see the instance listed as accepting connections. If you don't see the instance then maybe you have an invalid TNSNAMES alias in LOCAL_LISTENER.

How to install oracle RAC 11g on oracle linux 5 using vmware workstation ?

Install Oracle Linux + 11G Rac (itanium) HELP

Hello, sorry for the English ...
I have 2 hp server rx2620 itanium, mas1000 and should do tests to install oracle 11g rac linux oracle, but on linux I can not, someone can give me some advice or guide on the internet? my question is how to share the disk, so that the 2 servers are able to see them, I use ASMLib?
2 hp Server rx2620 itanium (4 NICs + 2 fiber channel cards)
MSA1000 (2 100gb disks to be shared) Fibre Channel
Oracle Linux 5.5 IA64
Oracle 11g Grid
Oracle Database 11g
Sorry and thanks.

There does not seen to be much current development in this area. Oracle Linux 5.5 is apparently the last version available. I would ask Oracle support about current and future plans to support the IA64 bit platform. Perhaps you might rather want to use HP Unix instead of Linux. Apparently Red Hat is no longer going to support the IA64 platform according to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/18/redhat_rhel6_itanium_dead. Oracle Stops All Software Development For Intel Itanium Microprocessor (March 2011) http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/346696
I think this might actually be another example of a silly development in the IT industry, where customers prefer cheaper, often more trivial solutions, over more expensive superior solutions. The majority of customers is apparently buying into the the Intel x86-64 architecture to support x86 CISC based software like MS windows, thinking a x86-64 CPU is just as powerful as a IA 64-bit CPU.
Regrading your question to share the disks, you need hardware that supports device sharing and a cluster file system. There are several options for hardware, typically fiber-channel, iSCSI and the older differential (HVD) SCSI for SAN and even NFS can apparently be used with a certified NAS storage. MSA1000 should be fine. Oracle provides OCFS2 cluster filesystem and you can also use ASM. You don't necessarily need ASMLib, but need to setup multipath or udev. How to setup the MSA1000 for shared storage should be in the Storage controller manual.

Oracle Linux 6.2 with RAC 11g cluster install fails on root.sh ioctl

I have 2 HP Servers I'm trying to install a cluster to.
I've tried Oracle Linux 6.2 and 6.3 with the same error on both nodes when running the root.sh script.
I have tried the permissions, run-levels, etc that I have found in the forum and nothing has worked except the deconfigure works great. /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -deconfig -force
root.sh Errors:
Adding daemon to inittab
CRS-4124: Oracle High Availability Services startup failed.
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
ohasd failed to start: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ohasd failed to start at /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl line 443.
I can't see whats wrong, I did use ASM to configure iSCSI disks from a storage device which appeared to work correctly:
# oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
VOL5
# ls /dev/oracleasm/disks/
VOL1 VOL2 VOL3 VOL5
When I created the disks with ASM I used multipath successfuly:
# oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/mapper/23535333762373932
The other node can see the disks just fine with oracleasm listdisks
I chose 3 disks for the OCR - VOL1-3
There was one forum work around to edit the $GRID_HOME/crs/install/s_crsconfig_lib.pm which I did no Oracle Linux 6.3 to no avail. I also tried using NFS mounted volumes for the OCR drives but got the same error.
Using the install: linux.x64_11gR2_grid

oracleasm (aka asmlib) may not be supported on RHEL(OEL) 6.x. You do NOT need asmlib and it's days are numbered.
upon review of this document, even though it was for 10g, it still appears to be relevant
"10g: Using Openfiler iSCSI with an Oracle RAC database on Linux [ID 371434.1]"
and
udev utility can be used for disk mounting consistency between the nodes. It is the preferred tool. Note:371814.1 explains how to use the udev option.

Note:
I've to do installation via commands, No GUI.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Q) Can Oracle 11g Release 2 RAC be installed on Solaris (x86)??yes, you can Install it on Solaris X86
Q) Can the links of Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base?? As i haven't seen any doc for installing 11g RAC on Solaris, where as it was provided in Oracle 10g.yes, you need to consider Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base as base document.

Install Oracle 11G, RAC with VMWare, APPS R12, and OBIEE on one server?

Dear Experts,
I'm looking to upgrade my skills, and want to learn more of:
Oracle 11G, RAC, VMWare, APPS R12, and OBIEE
My server has two quad cores (8 CPU altogether) and 16 gigs of RAM.
Years ago, I took a shots at installing RAC on multiple servers and firewire.
One thing I remember was that after I installed RAC, I was not able to use the database unless I enabled all the RAC processes on the server. So, I was not able to just boot the database and use it in the traditional single server manner.
Which I will also want to do.
1) Does this symptom/aspect/characteristic of RAC install still exist?
2) Is it realistic to install all this software on one server?
If so, what is the order of operations for the install?
3) If I have to prioritize, I'd like to install
Oracle 11G, OBIEE, and APPS R12,
Would installing R12 and OBIEE on the same server present any conflicts or issues?
If not, what is the order of operations for the install?
11G, R12, then OBIEE?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
1) Does this symptom/aspect/characteristic of RAC install still exist?No.
2) Is it realistic to install all this software on one server?
If so, what is the order of operations for the install?For learning/traning/demonstration purpose you can Install all these software on same machine.
3) If I have to prioritize, I'd like to install
Oracle 11G, OBIEE, and APPS R12,
Would installing R12 and OBIEE on the same server present any conflicts or issues?
If not, what is the order of operations for the install?
11G, R12, then OBIEE?There will not be any conflicts. I would suggest you to select vmware or virtual box in order to configure all these sw's.
I have done such a configuration on my laptop with i7 Quad processor, 16GB RAM and 640 GB HDD.
I have Installed 2 node RAC, 2 Node ERP and all are running smoothly without any issues.
