Oracle 10g R2 whitout RAC in a cluster hw (Windows Server 2008 cluster)

Hi,
Is this possible?
I ask it 'cause my customer wants to improve this solution.
I know that Oracle 10gR2 vs Windows Server 2008 is not supported and Oracle Standalone vs Hardware Cluster, neither too, but it's possible or will be a source of big problems?
Thanks in advance.
JRC.

Hi lain;
Please check Re: oracle10g on linux cluster
In my issue we were working on linux cluster. Our aim is
we have 3 server and they are linux cluster OS level. Let us call those server A,B and C... We want to make oracle10g works on server A and when server A is gone oracle10g on B server take place of A, if server B gone too, oracle10g on C server take place of B.... In each server we had different numver of database. I mean on machine a we have 3 database, on server B we have 4 database and on server C we have 7
What i do for this:
1. I install 10g database software only (not created database)
2. using netca and create listener for each database
3. using dbca and create database for each server.While on dbca wizard i gave SAN path for dbf
4. Linux admin arrange all other stuff(I mean when db1 on server A crash server B take responsibility of Server A and db1 keep working)
I hope it helps you

Active-Passive Failover cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi,
As per the client requirements, I build an active-passive Oracle 11g R2 database cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2.
(Used Microsoft cluster as Client don't have Fail Safe licence)
As per the configuration, I follow the below mentioned steps:
a)OS vendor configured Active-Passive Windows Cluster
b)Installed Oracle 11g R2 on both the nodes with same ORACLE_HOME name
c)Create Listener and configured it with cluster IP in Node1
d)Create Database from Node1. Physical files location are all in Storage
e)Create Oracle Service with the same name in the 2nd node and copy all the files like spfile,tnsnames.ora,listener.ora,password file to Node2
f)Configure Listener with the same Oracle SID.
g)Test database failover from Node2 with Listener registration
h)Open the Windows Failover Manager to configure the Oracle Database and Listener Service in the Cluster Group
Now I am facing problem by moving Cluster Group movement. Whenever trying to moving the group, Listerner service is not getting up by Cluster Manager as quorum is not included in the group and that quorum disk is not moving in the failover node with the Oracle Cluster Group. As per my understanding Quorum having information of Cluster IP which has been configured with Listener.
But when I am shutdown one node, then in the other node all the resources successfully moving and cluster able to online all the resources. I guess at that time Quorum is also moving and thus cluster can able to make Listener online.
Please suggest how to resolve this issue. Means how can I make Listener up instead having any dependencies with Quorum in the fail over node?
Thanks a lot for your help.

hello
I was going through your post and i am also doing the same thing here at our organisation for Oracle 10g R2
Can you pls send me any docs u r having for configuration of Oracle in windows clusters .
And, can you pls elaborate on this point
e)Create Oracle Service with the same name in the 2nd node and copy all the files like spfile,tnsnames.ora,listener.ora,password file to Node2.
Pls send me the details at [email protected] or you can contact me at 08054641476.

Installing Oracle SOA suite 10.1.3.1.0 on windows server 2008-64 bit.

Hi,
Installing Oracle SOA suite 10.1.3.1.0 on windows server 2008-64 bit.
Getting the following exception when installing BPEL
oracle.as.install.util.ActionFailedException : java.io.FileNotFound Exception :

In the unzipped BPEL software folder for installation there is no such file.
Have installed several Oracle SOA suite 10.3.1.0 on windows server 2003 - 32 bit using the same software.
But now am using it along with a patch- p6712338 for windows server 2008-64 bit.

If this is a production instance, you should NOT read past this sentence -- contact Oracle support to do it right.
If this is just for testing/experiments, have you tried putting an empty file at D:\software\bpel\bpel_oc4j\install\log.properties? How about putting a copy of the file from one of your "windows server 2003 - 32 bit" installations?
Good luck, Andy

Failover of ASCS takes very long on a Windows Server 2008 Cluster

Hello everybody,
I have configured a ABAP SCS (NetWeaver 7.0) running on a Windows Server 2008 Cluster. The database runs on SQL Server 2008 which is also configured for use in the MSCS. The ASCS and the database run fine in the Cluster. So far so good.
When I want to move the SAP Group which contains the ASCS from on node the other node, then the failover will take very long (approximately 2-3 minutes). The Service of the group will go offline in a few seconds, but the Instance needs about 1 minute to go offline and on the other node it needs more then one minute to become online.
The failover of the databaseinstance will take only about 10 seconds.
Have you got any ideas why the failover of the SAP Group will take so long?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Kind Regards,
Wolfgang

One minute would be somewhat long if you are running a faster server and just the ABAP environment. But I've seen ABAP/JAVA systems take up to 10 minutes to restart on a win 2005 clustered system.
Have you looked through the developer traces?

Maximum Nodes supported for NLB and Cluster in Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition ?

Hi.
I am looking for information How many nodes supported for NLB and Cluster in Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition ?
If you can provide for all the versions that would be great.
-Thanks
- Ajay Chanana

Hi,
You can configure a Windows server 2008 NLB cluster with up to 32 nodes. However,
scaling beyond 8 nodes will cause a slight performance hit because the network traffic is broadcasted to every node and only one NLB node accepts the connection.
For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:

AD RMS cluster with windows server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2

please i'm trying to add ADRMS server with windows server 2012 R2 with our ADRMS 2008 R2 cluster. and it fails with the following error:
"The Client DLL version doesn't match with the one of the servers"
so i want to know is it supported to add RMS 2012 R2 server to RMS 2008 R2 Cluster
Thanks

They can't coexist, but usually what happens is you add the 2012 server, it migrates your cluster database and then your 2008r2 servers can no longer connect.
What is this value:
DRMS_Config database
dbo.DRMS_ClusterPolicies
AdrmsFileVersion

Migrating Windows Server 2003 File Cluster to Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I have a very large Windows Server 2003 2 node file cluster that I would like to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2. I need to do this inplace (same server hardware) and I would like to use the existing storage if possible (I could buy more if it would make things
easier).
Is there a step by step guide that can tell me how to do this upgrade inplace or can anyone give me details on how to do this? I've looked at a few articles and they are not very descriptive on what to do.

What Microsoft calls an inplace upgrade is option 2 below
There are two basic migration/upgrade methods for a 2003 cluster to 2008
1) Build on new hardware, and move the disk/migrate the data.
2) Break cluster and remove one node, use that node to build a new one node cluster. Repeat by removing nodes and adding to new cluster.
Here is the MS Step-by-step guide for both of these approaches.

How to manage windows cluster on windows server 2008 R2

Hi I want to know how to properly shutdown or stop windows cluster with out failover or failing it.
I have successfully created windows cluster on win 2008 R2 sp1 using vmware with starwind software for SAN storage.
Now when I shut down or stop cluster service on node1 it failsover and shows critical errors fine.ok... I tried to destroy and clean up cluster using cmd commands.Forcecleanup both nodes with cmd commands.it was successful.
Later I recreated san storage with target and initiator configuration using starwind without any issue.
I Reinstalled FC service on both the nodes restarted vmnodes.I cheked all the firewall were disable.and machines able to ping well..
Now when I tried to recreate new cluster it fails and gives different errors.AS Node1 was evicted from cluster,Another was Quoram was lost as no witness disk was found.
Also It did not show my cluster under FCM on Node2.I tried to add node Node2 but error saying Node2 is already in a cluster.
So I want to know how to manage windows cluster properly and manage it entries in active directory so that even after shutting/stopping the service/destroying cluster I do not need to do all over again.
I had to recreate all VMware from start and do AD setup and SAN storage again then only windows cluster got successfully created once again....................
I had to recreate all vmware nodes with FC sevice reinstalled and also recreate AD DS and DNS.

RAC on Windows Server 2008 R2 - which edition is necessary

Hello,
which Windows Server 2008 R2 edition is required to install RAC - standard or enterprise (NOT database edition - windows server 2008 edition)?
If we want to implement RAC 11Gr2 Enterprise Edition does the operating system also has to be enterprise edition or is it possible to install RAC 11GR2 Enterprise Edition on Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition?
What Server Version is more suited for RAC Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008, and why?
Thanks in advance for any information.
kind regards
Monika Anna

Hi Monika,
which Windows Server 2008 R2 edition is required to install RAC - standard or enterprise (NOT database edition - windows server 2008 edition)?
If we want to implement RAC 11Gr2 Enterprise Edition does the operating system also has to be enterprise edition or is it possible to install RAC 11GR2 Enterprise Edition on Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition?All Oracle Database 11g Release 2 is supported on the following Windows Server 2008 R2 editions:
Windows Web Server 2008 (x64)
Windows Server 2008 Foundation (x64)
Windows Server 2008 Standard (x64)
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x64)
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter (x64)
What Server Version is more suited for RAC Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008, and why?I recommend Windows 2008, because the system is newer and has a lot of features that do not exist in Windows 2003. Oracle 11.2 is certified in Windows 2008.

Oracle 8.1.7.3 client on Windows Server 2008 64bit

Hi all!
I'm a newbie to Oracle and this forum, so please be gentle...:)
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7.3 client on a 64bit Windows Server 2008, without success. Best result I got so far is 'installed' client and provider, but unable to run the config tools, or use the provider. I installed the same client on a 32bit version of Win Server 2008 and it worked with few minor tweaks.
Reason I'm doing this is trying to integrate an old legacy Oracle 7 database with SQL Server 2008 using linked servers.
Upgrading to a recent version is not an option.
Anyone has any guidelines? please help, this is driving me nuts!
Thanx,
Igor

The client is included. Download it and start the installation. It should give you an option to select 'client only'.

Prepositioning files on a Server 2008 Cluster

I recently replaced a Server 2003 cluster with a server 2008 cluster. After the migration my prepostioning stopped functioning. The virtual servers are named the same and all the credentials, etc are the same. If I go into one of the preposition definitions and click browse I get a could not access cifs://<servername>. If I point to any of the other servers I am able to browse. Doesn't matter if they are server 2003 or 2008. The clustered servers are domain controllers. The version is 4.1.1c

Could you elaborate on this,as I am having the same issues? Our prepositioning works on the 2003 boxes but not the new 2008 ones.
Where abouts did you turn off the server signing .My serevr team say they have done this,but i would like to check myself.Is there anything else you changed? I can browse the files and select them fine,its just that once the schedule has started,no files get copied.
thanks,
Nick
