ORA-00304: requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy with instance on 2-node RAC.

Hello all,
This is a 2-Node 11.2.0.1 RAC on Redhat Linux x86-64. Only one of the instances will start at any time, when I start the other one, it will give a ORA-00304 error.
Will appreciate if you could take a look at the below information and help and/or advise some best practices. For now, I would like to get both the instances up and running first.
ORA-00304: requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy is the error we are receiving on Node-2/Instance-2 now.
******** Node : 1 / Instance - 1 **********
SQL> select inst_id, instance_number, instance_name from gv$instance;
INST_ID INSTANCE_NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME
1 1 cvucsdb
I am defining the instance_number and SPFILE separately in the default pfile(init file).
SQL> !cat /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome/dbs/initcvucsdb.ora
instance_number=1
SPFILE='+DATA/cvucsdb/spfilecvucsdb.ora'
SQL> show parameter spfile
NAME TYPE VALUE
spfile string +DATA/cvucsdb/spfilecvucsdb.ora
For further restarts I don't need to use pfile. Simple startup command works because SPFILE is already defined.
create pfile = '/tmp/inv_inst_num.ora' from spfile;
This file is pasted below so you can review all the parameters.
******** Node : 2 / Instance - 2 **********
Similarly for instance -2 , I am using the same format:
SQL> !cat /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome/dbs/initcvucsdb.ora
instance_number=2
SPFILE='+DATA/cvucsdb/spfilecvucsdb.ora'
But startup gives the error.

Hi,
for me it looks like that the parameter is not set correct.
Please change it to "instance_number=2".
If you had a two node cluster the parameter must be set equal 2.
your setting mean:
SID1 = cvucsdb1.instance_number=1 has one instance
SID2 = cvucsdb2.instance_number=2 has two instance.
Please change the parameter to:
*.instance_number=2
kind regards

RAC hangs when starting or stopping 2nd instance of 2 node RAC

Has anyone seen the problem with all transactions and/or logins hanging when starting or stopping the 2nd node of a 2 node RAC database. When I shut down the 2nd instance using srvctl I occasionally get errors and long delays connecting. On our larger database with instances having a very large SGAs, trying to connect you sometimes get ORA-12537 or ORA-01033. Users experience a very long hang before getting the errors. These instances have very large SGAs of about 30GB on each node.
In the log of the first instance we see messages like the following for quite a while.

Thanks in advance.

I have tested with only one node and starting and stopping is much faster without any cache fusion traffic. The application is not RAC aware, it was written without regard for RAC. As you say there may be some accessing of the same block by all nodes causing RAC to remaster blocks when a node is shut down.
My concern is the length of time users are afftected when I am starting a node that has been offline for a while. With the large SGA I have, it appears users are affected adversely for several minutes, in affect causing an outage which we are trying to avoid by using RAC.

Multiple databases/instances on 4-node RAC Cluster including Physical Stand

OS: Windows 2003 Server R2 X64
DB: 10.2.0.4
Virtualization: NONE
Node Configuration: x64 architecture - 4-Socket Quad-Core (16 CPUs)
Node Memory: 128GB RAM
We are planning the following on the above-mentioned 4-node RAC cluster:
Node 1: DB1 with instanceDB11 (Active-Active: Load-balancing & Failover)
Node 2: DB1 with instanceDB12 (Active-Active: Load-balancing & Failover)
Node 3: DB1 with instanceDB13 (Active-Passive: Failover only) + DB2 with instanceDB21 (Active-Active: Load-balancing & Failover) + DB3 with instanceDB31 (Active-Active: Load-balancing & Failover) + DB4 with instance41 (Active-Active: Load-balancing & Failover)
Node 4: DB1 with instanceDB14 (Active-Passive: Failover only) + DB2 with instanceDB22 (Active-Active: Load-balancing & Failover) + DB3 with instanceDB32 (Active-Active: Load-balancing & Failover) + DB4 with instance42 (Active-Active: Load-balancing & Failover)
Note: DB1 will be the physical primary PROD OLTP database and will be open in READ-WRITE mode 24x7x365.
Note: DB2 will be a Physical Standby of DB1 and will be open in Read-Only mode for reporting purposes during the day-time, except for 3 hours at night when it will apply the logs.
Note: DB3 will be a Physical Standby of a remote database DB4 (not part of this cluster) and will be mounted in Managed Recovery mode for automatic failover/switchover purposes.
Note: DB4 will be the physical primary Data Warehouse DB.
Note: Going to 11g is NOT an option.
Note: Data Guard broker will be used across the board.
Please answer/advise of the following:
1. Is the above configuration supported and why so? If not, what are the alternatives?
2. Is the above configuration recommended and why so? If not, what are the recommended alternatives?

Hi,
As far as i understand, there's nothing wrong in configuration except you need to consider below points while implementing final design.
1. No of CPU on each servers
2. Memory on each servers
3. If you've RAC physical standby then apply(MRP0) will run on only one instance.
4. Since you are configuring physical standby for on 3rd and 4th nodes of DB1 4 node cluster where DB13 and DB14 instances are used only for failver, if you've a disaster at data center or power failure in entire data center, you are losing both primary and secondary with an assumption that your primary and physical standby reside in same data center so it may not be highly available architecture. If you are going to use extended RAC for this configuration then it makes sense where Node 1 and Node 2 will reside in Datacenter A and Node 3 ,4 will reside in Datacenter B.
Thanks,

Theoretical question on having "stand by" instance on 4 node RAC cluster.

We have been having discussions on how we can improve the overall stability and performance of our RAC cluster. Currently we are running multiple databases on a 2 node cluster. The idea is that we will add two more nodes to the cluster and then spread the instances across the 4 nodes but only have two active and 1 as a standby in the event of node failure.
In other words:
Node1, Node2, and Node3 would run DB1
Node 4 Node3 and Node2 would run DB2
Additionally DB1_Instance3 would be shutdown on Node3 and only started if Node1 or 2 failed.
This would be the same for DB2 where DB2_Instance3 on Node2 would only be started if Node3 or Node4 failed.
Underneath them all would be the same ASM database shared for all 4 nodes.
Has anyone seen such a configuration? Is anyone aware of a white paper that discusses it.

the parameter active_instance_count is a 9i parameter and should only be set if you want to run RAC with a 2 node cluster - one instance active (all users connected here) and the second instance up but no one actively using it. IF instance one goes away, all work is move to instance 2. This is hot failover .
If you are adding a new instance to a rac database, you are recommended to use DBCA or EM to add the instance. If you do not want to have users connected to the instance all the time, you can either leave it running but do not enable any services on it until you need it or stop the instance with srvctl stop instance. The cluster will not try to restart the instance automatically.
The services option, when you create a service, you define which instances you wish it to run on. You can dynamically change where it runs. For the end user, they just connect to the service, the listener directs the connection to the least loaded instance providing the service at connect time. See the workload management with RAC 10g white paper on otn (otn.oracle.com/rac) or Chapter 6 of admin & deploy guide

OSB with request response MQ business service

Hi,
We have OSB webservice whice interacts with MQ via business service. We need to send the request to MQ request queue and get the response from the response queue.
For this, we have configured a business with MQ transport, request-response is enabled, message id is set for the correlation, auto generate correlation value is chosen.
The business service sends the message but unable receive the response from the response queue. Failing with the error message like
The invocation resulted in an error: [WliSbTransports:381918]Failed to receive response, within the configured timeout, for request message with id 42454BD3E5F7647914544E793F9F0000013EC9DF03918057 and correlation id 42454BD3E5F7647914544E793F9F0000013EC9DF03918057.
But we checked with the end system, the response is sent tot he response queue in no time. We also increased the time out but still same issue.
We noticed that if we dont send the message id, we are getting the response but not response of the request sent but some other response.
Please suggest what needs to be done to fix the issue.

Open your business service and navigate to HTTP Transport configuration page and check what is the http type is enabled.
Look to me its with GET method, change it to POST and re-try.
If the above solution is not helping, try to check the Follow HTTP redirects check box below the Advanced Setting in same page.
Thanks,

I’ll get an ora-19007.
Can some one point me in the right direction how to solve this error.
Thanks Roelof.

Who did you create the second table, in other words, how did you COPY the table as you said...
If you created the second table via a CTAS (create table as select) then you will have created a table that is not the same as the original one. AFAIK I have once created an enhancement request for this after discovering that JDeveloper, for example, creates a "copy" via a CTAS which creates the wrong structure. Double check via package DBMS_METADATA.
SQL> set long 1000000
SQL> select DBMS_METADATA('TABLE','TABLE_WITH_XMLTYPE','SchemaA') from dual;
SQL> select DBMS_METADATA('TABLE','TABLE_WITH_XMLTYPE','SchemaB') from dual;If you have got two different tables, than Mark's solution should help.

Bridge think photoshop is busy with a task - CS6/Window 7

Bridge keeps telling me that photoshop is busy with a task and asks if a wish to queue the request. Photoshop is not busy. I can go to photoshop and open and close items, run batch process, ect. I even tried closing and opening Photoshop. Bridge still thinks photoshop is busy.
Any suggestions.

Just updated to Mavericks and running CS6. Thoughts anyone?
First try this link because it solved problems with Mavericks before:

Can you specify the action you have selected that is causing the busy message?

Server is busy with blue screen !

Hi All,
I am having a wierd problem , when my sql queries in side the application takes a long time to execute, the server gives out "Server is Busy" with a blue screen.Can any one please tell how i can rectify it.It would be of great help.

Which version of the application server are you using? What exactly do you mean by "gives out a blue screen" -- do you mean that an HTTP request returns an HTML page with a blue background that says "server is busy"? Are you sure that's not something defined in your application?

ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option

Hi,
We are trying to migrate an Oracle 8.1.7 database to an Oracle 9i(9.2) database. I moved all the database files to the appr folder and I created a new instance using:
oradim -new -sid PROD -intpwd Oracle -startmode a -pfile C:\oracle\OraDb\Neuropace\initPROD.ORA.
I checked the alter log file and I get the following error:
ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option.
How should one go about migrating a database(different versions). I went ahead with the migration. I opened the database using
alter database open resetlogs migrate.
But when i log into the database, I get an internal code error.
Any pointers?.

You must not open normally your database after an upgrade, in short the method is
1) startup migrate
2) run the upgrade script (which one depends on your old database version)
For step-by-step instructions see

ORA-39700: database must be opened with UPGRADE option

Dear buddies,
I just opened my database : startup upgrade and it started up.
But couldn't perform a backup.
Should I be running pupbld?
Could this problem be due to some opatch?
Here is a part of my alert log:

I just opened my database : startup upgrade and it started up.
But couldn't perform a backup.As you said you have started the DB in upgrade mode and trying to take the backup of database. I think you can't take the backup of DB in upgrade mode.Please shut it down first and start up it in normal mode and do the backup.
Which backup strategy you are following?
What you exactly want to do upgrade the database or trying to take a bcakup?

Hi,
I un-register below services to configure them with solaris SMF (I know oracle won't support SMF yet).
they are running quite good, but only issue we are facing was RBAL create error logs in trace file.

Hi, it seems this errors comes from the fact that the asm wasn't registred in the cluster.
so you have ti recreate the asm instance and register this instance in the cluster.
srvctl add asm -p $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init$+ASM.ora
srvctl config asm
i hope it could help !

Database instance on 2 nodes fails to start due to ORA-07452

Hello All,
windows 64 bit 5 node rac ..10.2.0.3
We have an issue and this happens weekly once without fail for the last 3-4 weeks.
Everyday we have an expdp from production and and impdp script which imports that data into our test env.
Before the import starts there is a script which bringds down the database, puts into no archive log mode, starts the database up and kicks the import. Once import is done, it will again bring down the db, put it in archive log and start the entire db.
This works perfectly on everyday other than weekends (fri or sat..we are in middle east - Dubai). Over the weekend, the db goes down, put it in no archive log and when it tries to bring up the db, about 2 or 3 instances fail to come up with

Import also fails to continue even though the node(and instance) on which the script executes is up and running.
We have not set resource manager plan.
Any help or assistance would be appriciated...
Thanks

Address this issue to Oracle Support.
Looks like some of old bugs comes to light again.
See Note:1787295.8 or Note:178987.1 for details.
