Ocfs is 0

There were 3 nodes in RAC,node1,node3,node5.Now only 1 node node3 works.
When I tried to extend a new node node1,I saw the cluster.conf file was 0.
[oracle@node3 ~:orcl3]$more /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf
cluster:
node_count = 0
name = ocfs2
Is it possible,if i add a new node without adding it to cluster.conf file?

done.

OS Error in starting the OCFS Service on windows server 2008

Hi,
Installing the Oracle 11g R1 CRS on windows server 2008 operating system . It is displaying the folllowing error message
ERROR : OS in Error in starting the OCFS Service
Can any one please tell what could be the issue ..
Thank You

Solved this after some trawling through xml configuration files on the server.
The file C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\owb\j2ee\config\http-web-site.xml contains the reference to keystore.jks:
<ssl-config keystore="*%ORACLE_HOME%*/owb/j2ee/config/keystore.jks" keystore-password="->keystoreadmin"/>
changing this to:
<ssl-config keystore="C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1/owb/j2ee/config/keystore.jks" keystore-password="->keystoreadmin"/>
and the OC4J container starts successfully.

Installation Oracle10g Release - 2 RAC (2 Node) on HP-UX 11.23 using OCFS-2

Hi All,
I want to install Oracle 10g Release - 2 RAC (2 Node) on HP-UX 11.23 using OCFS-2. Please send me a link or docs which describes about step by step instruction of OCFS-2 and RAC on HP-UX 11.23.
Thanks,
Subhankar

Subhankar,
Check this link out
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14202/toc.htm
and make sure you have met all the pre-requisites (patches to install oracle on hp-ux 11- you can refer to oracle domentation for the required patches.
Aslo, if you have access to metalink you can refer to this Doc ID: Note:182177.1 Step-By-Step Installation of RAC on HP-UX. Actually this was created for 9i but it will give you a general idea.

10g RAC - should I use RAW, OCFS and/or ASM ?

I am about to install 10G RAC on RHAS3. Options for sharing disk partitions are raw, OCFS and ASM. The OCR and voting files must be raw or OCFS, I would tend to go for OCFS in this case. For the Oracle datafiles, again, I would tend to go for OCFS simply for ease of management since ASM seems to add another layer of complexity, and raw lacks flexibility. OCFS however is also new technology and may still have some stability issues. I'm not yet sure of our disk configuration, but there will be HBA cards in each machine with one or two SAN partitions, so I don't expect some of the ASM features such as mirroring etc. will be required as this will be done in the hardware. Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences(good or bad) in which way to go ?
Philip

We're using raw partitions for some years now, (since oracle 8i, then 9i and now 10g). It is quite flexible, but you shouldn't use physical partitions but LVM. It's very stable.
Now on 10g we're using ASM on some sites where mirroring is needed. It works, but not so stable as raw. we discover some bugs as well.
We've never used OCFS. I don't like it. To much limits. I belive that special utilities are needed for managing files. I don't like linux system software produced by oracle.

10g RAC with linux 3 AS+ocfs

Hi:
Is anyone install 10g RAC on linux 3AS with ocfs successfully?
I am having problem with CRS installation where installer ask to run root.sh. My first node finished root.sh without any problem but not second node it give me "Failure at final check of Oracle CRS stack." error. Moreover, I found "ERROR: clssnmconnect: failed, rc = 3, node samurai (1), (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=racs01-priv1)(PORT=49895))" error in ocssd2.log file. However, I can ping privet and public ip/hostname without any problem. Any input or suggestions are welcome!

Did you ever get a responce to this?
I'm having the very same issue, which I can not find a work around.
Documents for the 10g install have been very few and far between, so any help would be the greatest!

Oracle 10g RAC design with ASM and OCFS

Hi all,
I have a question about a proposed Oracle 10g Release 2 RAC design for a 2 node cluster.
ASM can store database files but not Oracle binaries nor OCR and voting disk. As such, OCFS version 1 does not support a shared Oracle Home. We plan to use OCFS version 2 with ASM version 2 on Red Hat Linux Enteprrise Server 4 with Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1).
For OCFS v2, a shared Oracle home and shared OCR and voting disk are supported. My question is does the following proposed architecture make sense for OCFS v2 with ASM v2 on Red Hat Linux 4?
Oracle 10g Release 2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 4:
OCFS V2:
- shared Oracle home and binaries
- shared OCR and vdisk files
- CRS software shared OCFS v2 filesystem
- spfile
- controlfiles
- tnsnames.ora
ASM v2 with ASMLib v2:
Proposed ASM disk groups:
- data_dg for application data
- backupdg for flashback and archivelogs
- undo_rac1dg ASM diskgroup for undo tablespace for racnode1
- undo_rac2dg ASM diskgroup for undo tablespace for racnode2
- redo_rac1dg ASM diskgroup to hold redo logs for racnode1
- redo_rac2dg ASM diskgroup to hold redo logs for racnode2
- temp1dg temp tablespace for racnode1
- temp2dg temp tablespace for racnode2
Does this sound like a good initial design?
Ben Prusinski, Senior DBA

OK Tim, thanks for advices.
I think Netbackup can be integrated with RMAN but I don't want to loose time on this (political).
To summarize:
ORACLE_HOME and CRS_HOME on each node (RAID1 and NTFS)
Shared storage:
Disk1 and disk 2: RAID1: - Raw partition 1 for OCR
- Raw partition 2 for VotingDisk
- OCFS for FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA
Disk3, disk4 and disk5: RAID 0 - Raw with ASM redundancy normal 1 diskgroup for database files.
This is a running project here, will start testing the design on VMware and then go for production setup.

It's possible you damaged the print cartridge when you refilled it. Install a new HP Print cartridge in the unit to see if that solves the issue.

OCFS for Kernel 2.6.18-8.el5

Dear experts,
I went to download OCFS files from recomended site, but I did not find OCFS files for the kernel version 2.6.18-8.el5(which is the version of my linux server 5). there was OCFS for 2.4.21-27.EL, now tell me, is it going to work for my kernel version?. if not then where can I get the compatible OCFS from ?

Ocfs for new suse kernel 2.4.21-203

Hi!
We arecurrently evaluating 9.2 RAC on Linux (SuSE Enterprise Server 8 / United Linux. We have kernel 2.4.21-198-smp and there was an rpm ocfs-2.4.21.198-1.0.11-1.i586.rpm on http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs for this kernel. Now SuSE has recomended an update to kernel 2.4.21.203 because of some recent security issues. But where do I get the (supported) rpm for this ? Do I have to uninstall the ocfs-2.4.21.198 before updating the kernel ?
TIA, Roland Steinmeyer

Hi, please send me the error log file,
Thanks.

10G RAC OCFS on Itanium Linux-64

I've spent the last week setting up four Itanium 64-bit Linux servers with OCFS. No problems...however, when I try to install Oracle 10G, (installing CRS First as described in the manual) I can't get past the Public/Private nodes listing. CRS does Not detect my OCFS so it forces me to manually list the hostnames. As soon i'm done, I get an error that I must provide both public and private names??? which I have done. They are all setup in the /etc/hosts file identically on each node:
[root@sysl098 root]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
172.20.176.102 sysl012 #RAC-NODE-1
172.20.176.103 sysl013 #RAC-NODE-2
172.20.176.104 sysl098 #RAC-NODE-3
172.20.176.105 sysl099 #RAC-NODE-4
10.0.0.2 sysl012-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-1
10.0.0.3 sysl013-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-2
10.0.0.4 sysl098-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-3
10.0.0.5 sysl099-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-4
I'm really at my wits end here... Why doesn't the CRS install detect OCFS when it is configured and shares a filesystem on all four nodes? it's forcing me to list the nodes on the screen, yet it states that I have not done so??
TIA- Joe

ocfs installation is separate from CRS. please try to use the cookbooks published on otn:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/vmware/cookbook/index.html
also in your /etc/hosts file you are missing the VIP ip addresses.
10g requires 3 sets of IP addresses.. public, private and vip (Virtual IP)
good luck.
Saar.

Other trivia such as CPU, RAM + Disk configuration might also be useful.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!"). Thanks.

Can't locate module ocfs on RHEL 3.0

Any ideas ?

First. Thanks for your help.
I found a solution for OCFS 1.0.14 on RHEL 3.0 :
1. The directory for the module OCFS did not exist. I created it and copy the module:
/lib/modules/2.4.21-EL-ABI/ocfs/ocfs.o
to
/lib/modules/2.4.21-32-EL/ocfs/ocfs.o
2. In the load_ocfs script when try to export the modules on the $MODULES variable, I exported the path with the module directly:
MODULES=/lib/modules/2.4.21-32-EL/ocfs/ocfs.o
3. run load_ocfs
# /sbin/lsmod |grep ocfs
ocfs 5130 0 (unused)
4. Reboot
# /sbin/lsmod |grep ocfs
ocfs 4143 0 (unused)

Problem in OCF

Hi all,
m facing a problem while executing this line of code.
Actually m using Open Card Framework for smart card applications.
The code is:
SmartCard.start();
CardRequest cr=new CardRequest(CardRequest.NEWCARD,null,FileAccessCardService.class);
SmartCard sc=SmartCard.waitForCard(cr);
FileAccessCardService facs=(FileAccessCardService)sc.getCardService(FileAccessCardService.class,true);
CardFile root=new CardFile(facs);
** denotes problem in this line of code
"Abstract method Error" occur when i execute this line of code
Please help me to resolve this problem
Thanx in Advance
Varun Arora

Query this forum and see if you question has already been answered.
I have posted an answer to this a million times. In newsgroups, OCF mailing list, and here. I've even posted a small sample here as well. For the last time,
Java Cards do not contain a file system. Don't use this FileAccessCardService.class card service for Java Cards.

Due to oracle RAC server crash, oracle recommends us to upgrade OCFS v-1.2.5 to OCFS-v-1.2.9, since it is running on RHEL 4 U5, what are the steps to do from linux side as well as DBA side ?
other question will OCFS-v-1.2.9 support RHEL 4 U5 ?
Please update, your inputs are highly appreciated..
Thank you

Hi,
take a look here:
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/files/RedHat/RHEL4/x86_64/1.2.9-1/
You have to match your running kernel version (uname -a) and architecture.
Before you update your kernel make sure you have configured a fallback configuration and a valid backup.
