Ocfs2 configuration require crs and database shutdown

Hi,
We are in the process of adding a node to the cluster.
This is a 3 node cluster. we are going to add a 4 node to the cluster.
ocr , voting disk are kept on ocfs2 file system. when we are trying to configure ocfs2.
we were not able to mount ocfs2 device 4th node. we install all the ocfs2 required which was not there on 4 node.
we can see the entries of 3 node in ocfs2 configure file we have make the 4th node using ocfs2cosole view.
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 192.168.11.97
number = 0
name = rscorc07a.corp.shire.com
cluster = ocfs2
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 192.168.11.99
number = 1
name = rscorc07b.corp.shire.com
cluster = ocfs2
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 192.168.11.101
number = 2
name = rscorc07c.corp.shire.com
cluster = ocfs2
node:
ip_port = 7777
ip_address = 192.168.11.103
number = 3
name = rsdorc07d.corp.shire.com
cluster = ocfs2
cluster:
node_count = 4
name = ocfs2
we need to add the 4th node entry on all the nodes.
My question is does this require shutdown of database or crs or we can configure ocfs2 and add ocfs online(when the crs and database is up)
Thanks and Regards,

Hi All,
The crs and database dont need to be shut while configuring ocfs2 for node addition.
We took a help from oracle support.
They asked us to increase the min_free_kbytes to 10000 kernel parameter is sysctl.conf and reproduce the issue.
we have increased it to 1000 and we will again try to add the 4th node and let you know what is the outcome.
Thanks

CONCURRENT MANAGER SETUP AND CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS IN AN 11I RAC ENVIR

제품 : AOL
작성날짜 : 2004-05-13
PURPOSE
RAC-PCP 구성에 대한 Setup 사항을 기술한 문서입니다.
PCP 구현은 CM의 workload 분산, Failover등을 목적으로 합니다.
Explanation
Failure sceniro 는 다음 3가지로 구분해 볼수 있습니다.
1. The database instance that supports the CP, Applications, and Middle-Tier
processes such as Forms, or iAS can fail.
2. The Database node server that supports the CP, Applications, and Middle-
Tier processes such as Forms, or iAS can fail.
3. The Applications/Middle-Tier server that supports the CP (and Applications)
base can fail.
아래부분은 CM,AP 구성과
CM과 GSM(Global Service Management)과의 관계를 설명하고 있습니다.
The concurrent processing tier can reside on either the Applications, Middle-
Tier, or Database Tier nodes. In a single tier configuration, non PCP
environment, a node failure will impact Concurrent Processing operations do to
any of these failure conditions. In a multi-node configuration the impact of
any these types of failures will be dependent upon what type of failure is
experienced, and how concurrent processing is distributed among the nodes in
the configuration. Parallel Concurrent Processing provides seamless failover
for a Concurrent Processing environment in the event that any of these types of
failures takes place.
In an Applications environment where the database tier utilizes Listener (
server) load balancing is implemented, and in a non-load balanced environment,
there are changes that must be made to the default configuration generated by
Autoconfig so that CP initialization, processing, and PCP functionality are
initiated properly on their respective/assigned nodes. These changes are
described in the next section - Concurrent Manager Setup and Configuration
Requirements in an 11i RAC Environment.
The current Concurrent Processing architecture with Global Service Management
consists of the following processes and communication model, where each process
is responsible for performing a specific set of routines and communicating with
parent and dependent processes.
아래 내용은 PCP환경에서 ICM, FNDSM, IM, Standard Manager의 역활을 설명하고
있습니다.
Internal Concurrent Manager (FNDLIBR process) - Communicates with the Service
Manager.
The Internal Concurrent Manager (ICM) starts, sets the number of active
processes, monitors, and terminates all other concurrent processes through
requests made to the Service Manager, including restarting any failed processes.
The ICM also starts and stops, and restarts the Service Manager for each node.
The ICM will perform process migration during an instance or node failure.
The ICM will be
active on a single node. This is also true in a PCP environment, where the ICM
will be active on at least one node at all times.
Service Manager (FNDSM process) - Communicates with the Internal Concurrent
Manager, Concurrent Manager, and non-Manager Service processes.
The Service Manager (SM) spawns, and terminates manager and service processes (
these could be Forms, or Apache Listeners, Metrics or Reports Server, and any
other process controlled through Generic Service Management). When the ICM
terminates the SM that
resides on the same node with the ICM will also terminate. The SM is ？hained?
to the ICM. The SM will only reinitialize after termination when there is a
function it needs to perform (start, or stop a process), so there may be
periods of time when the SM is not active, and this would be normal. All
processes initialized by the SM
inherit the same environment as the SM. The SM environment is set by APPSORA.
env file, and the gsmstart.sh script. The TWO_TASK used by the SM to connect
to a RAC instance must match the instance_name from GV$INSTANCE. The apps_<sid>
listener must be active on each CP node to support the SM connection to the
local instance. There
should be a Service Manager active on each node where a Concurrent or non-
Manager service process will reside.
Internal Monitor (FNDIMON process) - Communicates with the Internal Concurrent
Manager.
The Internal Monitor (IM) monitors the Internal Concurrent Manager, and
restarts any failed ICM on the local node. During a node failure in a PCP
environment the IM will restart the ICM on a surviving node (multiple ICM's may
be started on multiple nodes, but only the first ICM started will eventually
remain active, all others will gracefully terminate). There should be an
Internal Monitor defined on each node
where the ICM may migrate.
Standard Manager (FNDLIBR process) - Communicates with the Service Manager and
any client application process.
The Standard Manager is a worker process, that initiates, and executes client
requests on behalf of Applications batch, and OLTP clients.
Transaction Manager - Communicates with the Service Manager, and any user
process initiated on behalf of a Forms, or Standard Manager request. See Note:
240818.1 regarding Transaction Manager communication and setup requirements for
RAC.
Concurrent Manager Setup and Configuration Requirements in an 11i RAC
Environment
PCP를 사용하기위한 기본적인 Setup 절차를 설명하고 있습니다.
In order to set up Setup Parallel Concurrent Processing Using AutoConfig with
GSM,
follow the instructions in the 11.5.8 Oracle Applications System Administrators
Guide
under Implementing Parallel Concurrent Processing using the following steps:
1. Applications 11.5.8 and higher is configured to use GSM. Verify the
configuration on each node (see WebIV Note:165041.1).
2. On each cluster node edit the Applications Context file (<SID>.xml), that
resides in APPL_TOP/admin, to set the variable <APPLDCP oa_var="s_appldcp">
ON </APPLDCP>. It is normally set to OFF. This change should be performed
using the Context Editor.
3. Prior to regenerating the configuration, copy the existing tnsnames.ora,
listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files, where they exist, under the 8.0.6 and iAS
ORACLE_HOME locations on the each node to preserve the files (i.e./<some_
directory>/<SID>ora/$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/<SID>/tnsnames.ora). If any of
the Applications startup scripts that reside in COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/<SID>
have been modified also copy these to preserve the files.
4. Regenerate the configuration by running adautocfg.sh on each cluster node as
outlined in Note:165195.1.
5. After regenerating the configuration merge any changes back into the
tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files in the network directories,
and the startup scripts in the COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts/<SID> directory.
Each nodes tnsnames.ora file must contain the aliases that exist on all
other nodes in the cluster. When merging tnsnames.ora files ensure that each
node contains all other nodes tnsnames.ora entries. This includes tns
entries for any Applications tier nodes where a concurrent request could be
initiated, or request output to be viewed.
6. In the tnsnames.ora file of each Concurrent Processing node ensure that
there is an alias that matches the instance name from GV$INSTANCE of each
Oracle instance on each RAC node in the cluster. This is required in order
for the SM to establish connectivity to the local node during startup. The
entry for the local node will be the entry that is used for the TWO_TASK in
APPSORA.env (also in the APPS<SID>_<HOSTNAME>.env file referenced in the
Applications Listener [APPS_<SID>] listener.ora file entry "envs='MYAPPSORA=<
some directory>/APPS<SID>_<HOSTNAME>.env)
on each node in the cluster (this is modified in step 12).
7. Verify that the FNDSM_<SID> entry has been added to the listener.ora file
under the 8.0.6 ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/<SID> directory. See WebiV Note:
165041.1 for instructions regarding configuring this entry. NOTE: With the
implementation of GSM the 8.0.6 Applications, and 9.2.0 Database listeners
must be active on all PCP nodes in the cluster during normal operations.
8. AutoConfig will update the database profiles and reset them for the node
from which it was last run. If necessary reset the database profiles back to
their original settings.
9. Ensure that the Applications Listener is active on each node in the cluster
where Concurrent, or Service processes will execute. On each node start the
database and Forms Server processes as required by the configuration that
has been implemented.
10. Navigate to Install > Nodes and ensure that each node is registered. Use
the node name as it appears when executing a nodename?from the Unix prompt on
the server. GSM will add the appropriate services for each node at startup.
11. Navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Define, and set up the primary and
secondary node names for all the concurrent managers according to the
desired configuration for each node workload. The Internal Concurrent
Manager should be defined on the primary PCP node only. When defining the
Internal Monitor for the secondary (target) node(s), make the primary node (
local node) assignment, and assign a secondary node designation to the
Internal Monitor, also assign a standard work shift with one process.
12. Prior to starting the Manager processes it is necessary to edit the APPSORA.
env file on each node in order to specify a TWO_TASK entry that contains
the INSTANCE_NAME parameter for the local nodes Oracle instance, in order
to bind each Manager to the local instance. This should be done regardless
of whether Listener load balancing is configured, as it will ensure the
configuration conforms to the required standards of having the TWO_TASK set
to the instance name of each node as specified in GV$INSTANCE. Start the
Concurrent Processes on their primary node(s). This is the environment
that the Service Manager passes on to each process that it initializes on
behalf of the Internal Concurrent Manager. Also make the same update to
the file referenced by the Applications Listener APPS_<SID> in the
listener.ora entry "envs='MYAPPSORA= <some directory>/APPS<SID>_<HOSTNAME>.
env" on each node.
13. Navigate to Concurrent > Manager > Administer and verify that the Service
Manager and Internal Monitor are activated on the secondary node, and any
other addititional nodes in the cluster. The Internal Monitor should not be
active on the primary cluster node.
14. Stop and restart the Concurrent Manager processes on their primary node(s),
and verify that the managers are starting on their appropriate nodes. On
the target (secondary) node in addition to any defined managers you will
see an FNDSM process (the Service Manager), along with the FNDIMON process (
Internal Monitor).

What is your database version? OS?
We are using VCP suite for Planning Purpose. We are using VCP environment (12.1.3) in Decentralized structure connecting to 3 differect source environment ( consisting 11i and R12). As per the Oracle Note {RAC Configuration Setup For Running MRP Planning, APS Planning, and Data Collection Processes [ID 279156]} we have implemented RAC in our test environment to get better performance.
But after doing all the setups and concurrent programs assignment to different nodes, we are seeing huge performance issue. The Complete Collection which takes generally on an avg 180 mins in Production, is taking more than 6 hours to complete in RAC.
So I would like to get suggestion from this forum, if anyone has implemented RAC in pure VCP (decentralized) environment ? Will there be any improvement if we make our VCP Instance in RAC ?Do you PCP enabled? Can you reproduce the issue when you stop the CM?
Have you reviewed these docs?

Oracle apps configuration required to install oracle lite database

Hi,
Can any one suggest me the oracle apps setups and configuration required for installing the oracle lite databse in my laptop.
The olite databse must sink with my existing oracle apps.
thanks in advance...

user596857 wrote:
Dear Experts, (I'm far from expert, but I possess enough shreds of knowledge to answer your question, so here goes. ;-) )
1a)
My server has Oracle version 11.1.0.6.0, but the matrix says it wants 11.1.0.7.
I should get a warning right?
Can I just proceed with the install, over-riding the warning?
1b)
If so, what is the procedure to install into the existing database?
It wasn't obvious in the (150 page) install docs. The EBS install delivers its own ORACLE_HOME for the database. There isn't an option to install into an existing database as far I know. The installer will ask where to put the new ORACLE_HOME for the EBS database. You might get a warning if you try to install to a pre-existing ORACLE_HOME, and I don't recommend ignoring that warning. The result will either be ugly immediately or, even worse, ugly later when it's harder to figure out why. ;-)
Do an upgrade?Won't really help. The ORACLE_HOME that's bundled with the installer usually comes with additional patches pre-installed, as well as EBS-friendly configuration options. You're much better off taking what it gives you so you can get down to the real fun of learning EBS. :-)
Or, do regular install, but not Express/Rapid Install?I recommend doing a Vision install for learning EBS.
Can I choose not to install the database software?Nope (unless my memory is really that bad), and there's no real benefit to doing so. All you'd save is a couple GB of disk, and as a percentage of the total install footprint of EBS, the database ORACLE_HOME is relatively tiny.

Hi
I faced this issue before ,Reinstall is the option you have .Verify the version of RCU before you start creating schema .Set all Pre DB setting ,hostname and IP Address ,If DB and OIM are in ifferent machines check pinging from both the sides .
Please Drop all OLD schema ,Create a New "Prefix" for fresh installation , don't use old schema .
Let me know .

Is the only way to import large amount of data and database objects into a primary database is to shutdown the standby, turn off archive log mode, do the import, then rebuild the standby?

I have a primary database that need to import large amount of data and database objects. 1.) Do I shutdown the standby? 2.) Turn off archive log mode? 3.) Perform the import? 4.) Rebuild the standby? or is there a better way or best practice?

Instead of rebuilding the (whole) standby, you take an incremental (from SCN) backup from the Primary and restore it on the Standby. That way, if, for example
a. Only two out of 12 tablespaces are affected by the import, the incremental backup would effectively be only the blocks changed in those two tablespaces (and some other changes in system and undo) {provided that there are no other changes in the other ten tablespaces}
b. if the size of the import is only 15% of the database, the incremental backup to restore to the standby is small

11g CRS and ASM, 10.2.0.4 database, how to set up RMAN

Hi all, I am fairly green when it comes to RAC so please bear with me. I have a Linux 2 node RAC environment. The servers are lux148 and lux149. The 2 node cluster is running 11g CRS and ASM. The database is 10.2.0.4. It had to be set up this way in order for IBM DataStage to work. The database name is fictrp0. The instances are fictrp01 (lux148) and fictrp02 (lux149). I am trying to register the database with an RMAN catalog. I am under the impression that I need to register the database (fictrp0) not the instances (fictrp01 and fictrp02) with the RMAN catalog. Is this correct? So I log into lux148 and set my environment so the ORACLE_SID=FICTRP0. From the command line I issue the following:
fictrp0:/u01/app/oracle> rman target / catalog rman102/[email protected]
The command returns the following:
Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Wed Oct 29 14:05:50 2008
Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.
connected to target database (not started)
connected to recovery catalog database
Is this normal "connected to target database (not started)"? I was expecting to see a DBID=FICTRP0 for the target. If this is typical, how will RMAN know the ID of the database? Should I be trying to register an instance perhaps such as FICTRP01? If so do I need to register both instances (FICTRP01 and FICTRP02)?
Bottom line I am very confused on how RAC and RMAN work together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You no need to register the instance,You need to register only the database and database only will have DBID

Configurations required for PME and SCE in SAP-CRM 2007

Hi Mia,
Authorization group is available in the old versions and basically this help in defining new authorization groups and you can define what can be done with these authorization groups as what can be edited and what cannot be and this is done on SPRO. These authorization groups are entered in the authorization group and the user who has this authorization object will be able to work on the account.
So the business role in CRM 2007 has a PFCG role and the authorization profile that you created are assigned to the business role and users are assigned to the business role.
There are also few authorization objects to maintian the BP relationship and see if you can use these combination to check if it meets your requirement.
Hope it clarifies and if useful please reward points
Thanks

Oracle 11g R2 database required softwares and product Licenses cost

Hello All,
I want to know about softwares require for Oracle database implementation in the Project.
What commercial licences we will require for the purpose ? Whether we will require commercial license for all the machines (Development and Deployment machines) ?
Is there any benefits or offers for Oracle Gold member partner ?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks ,
Praneet Rane.

Its always best to pick up the phone and call ORACLE if you have any questions about licensing. Sometimes they can give you a good deals.
You can check software investment guide in the link but I would still recommend to call Oracle Marketing representative.

How to configure automatical startup of both ASM and Database

I created a ASM and a database that uses this ASM for file storage management. I also edit the /etc/oratab file as followings:
+ASM:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm:Y
orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y
However, when I reboot the system, both ASM and database instances cannot be started up automatically.
How can I configure automatical startup of both ASM and Database at system reboot?
Thanks in advance!

try the following
Create file called startdb.sh in $ORACLE_HOME/bin and put following line into startdb.sh and
change the permission of the file with following command.
$vi $ORACLE_HOME/bin/startdb.sh
su - oracle -c 'sh /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbstart'
Please replace /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ with your ORACLE_HOME
$chmod 777 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/startdb.sh
Open /etc/inittab file and append following two lines in /etc/inittab.
h2:35:once:/etc/init.d/init.cssd start >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
h3:35:wait:/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/startdb.sh >/tmp/stdb.out 2>&1
If you have h2,h3 in the inittab file please feel free to change it to h4,h5 or whatever is unique, but it has to be unique name
Please replace /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ with your ORACLE_HOME.
Reboot machine and check out whether both instances are getting started or not.Please check $ORACLE_HOME/startup.log for more information.

Alert mail configuration for backup / Oracle database

Hello All,
I am trying to configure alert mail for successful backup in the system and i have did with most of the configurations. The steps are as follows:
Configured mail in 000 client and also assigned mail id for a user
Configured the method CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 (set the parameters and its auto reaction method)
Configured the nodes CCMS Monitor templates -> Database -> Oracle -> Backup / restore -> backup status -> last brbackup run and last successful complete backup with the method CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 as mentioned in the SAP note 176492
And after these configurations we receive the mail successfuly. However there are few issues which i would like to get corrected / clarified. Whenever a backup is started i am receiving a mail stating that brbackup has been started and whenever a backup fails i am receving mail stating brbackup is failed with some return code. But i am not receiving any mail after successful completion of backup. Am i missing any configuraions here? Is this the standard one and other configurations required for mail on successful backup? Please suggest
Regards,
Anandh

When should a message trigger an alert?
1.Always (at every message): The Alert Monitor triggers a alert with the corresponding message value for every message.
2.Message value (color) has changed: The Alert Monitor only triggers an alert if the alert color of a reported message changes. For example, an alert is triggered if a red message follows a yellow message.
3.The message sent has changed: The Alert Monitor only triggers an alert if the color or severity of a message changes or if a new message is sent.
4.Never: The Alert Monitor does not trigger any alerts.
As your requirement, I would suggest it to be set to "Always"
Please let us know how it works.

Aman....Take a look in the Oracle Docs:
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/start.htm#sthref589
Immediate database shutdown proceeds with the following conditions:
- No new connections are allowed, nor are new transactions allowed to be started, after the statement is issued.
- Any uncommitted transactions are rolled back. (If long uncommitted transactions exist, this method of shutdown might not complete quickly, despite its name.)
- Oracle Database does not wait for users currently connected to the database to disconnect. The database implicitly rolls back active transactions and disconnects all connected users.
The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
Transactional database shutdown proceeds with the following conditions:
- No new connections are allowed, nor are new transactions allowed to be started, after the statement is issued.
- After all transactions have completed, any client still connected to the instance is disconnected.
- At this point, the instance shuts down just as it would when a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE statement is submitted.
The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
A transactional shutdown prevents clients from losing work, and at the same time, does not require all users to log off.

I'm fairly new to RAC/ASM and haven't performed any patch set upgrades yet. Back in the simple days when I wanted to apply a patch set to a database, say from 10.2.0.4 to 10.2.0.5, I would create a brand new Oracle home ahead of time and apply the patch set to it. I'd name my homes like this:
/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.4/db1
/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.5/db1
During the maintenance window I would change /etc/oratab to point the database to the new 10.2.0.5 and complete the database upgrade scripts. The advantages of this strategy:
1 - Less risk installing software as nothing uses the new home yet. If something goes wrong in the install, no big deal. Research the problem and try again without being under the stress of a defined maintenance window.
2 - No need to backup old home for back-out purposes.
3 - Less time required for database to be down during actual patch window since Oracle Installer does not need to run.
Now with CRS and ASM, is there a way to pre-stage a new home for those, but not have them "active" to the node until later during the maintenance window?
For ASM, it seems like it would be possible to treat the same way as database and simply update ASM SID in /etc/oratab
+ASM1:/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.5/asm1
but I'm not totally confident in that as I'm afraid the CRS home may already have references to the ASM home in the cluster registry.
For CRS, it seems like the home is pretty well hard-wired into the node startup scripts and installing a brand new CRS home will probably disrupt the running CRS home.
Any thoughts about this?

Starting with 11.2 for Grid Infrastructure only "out-of-place" patchset upgrades are supported.

Any thoughts about this?As of 11gR2 the ASM is part of the Grid Infrastructure, therefore it is running from the same home and not recommended to separate them. (although you can do that)
By the way, what is your upgrade path? It could be easier to answer your questions if we knew that as there has been a quite a few enhancements and changes in the upgrade/patching process from 10g to 11g. (even between 11gR1 and 11gR2)

Will Windows 7 support the Oracle 10G client and database

Hi experts,
I try to find oracle 10g client/database in 32 bit window 7.
I got message that the system does not support oracle 10gR2.
Any suggestion?
