Oracle 10g RAC + ASM

Hi,
We are installing Oracle10g RAC with Oracle clusterware with ASM on Solaris 10. Does anybody have a installation/configuration manual for this combination.
Thanks,
Murtuja

Murtuja,
Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation and Configuration Guide for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit) has got all the information you would need to install Oracle RAC on Solaris 10. This guide is available from http://otn.oracle.com
Thanks & Regards

  • Oracle 10g RAC+ASM - Storage Issue

    I’ve an issue related to Oracle 10g RAC.
    I’ve 2 node cluster each being Dell 2850 Server with RHEL 4.0
    I’ve EMC CX300 SAN storage with following partitions
    /orasoft     10 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    /oracrs          2 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    /orabackup      100 Gb          OCFS2 File system
    The datafiles are on ASM which is not directly visible in OS.
    I’ve common Oracle Home installed in /orasoft/db_1 which is shared by both nodes in cluster.
    I’ve faced an issue recently related to EMC storage.
    The /orasoft partition displays 1.4 Gb space available using df command.
    With both nodes sharing the common Oracle Home (/orasoft/db_1), when ever I try to touch a file I get an error as No Space left on device. I’m unable to start any service with the same reason.
    Is this setup correct ??
    Can anyone help me with this storage issue ??

    Hi,
    If you create a new diskgroup you may be to add the same diskgroup to parameter file or spfile and which will be needing down time.
    sugestion: Instead of creating new diskgroup you should to add disk to existing group.if you add asm disk to existing group your all problem will be solved and Oracle itself will be managing all.And than i am sure no need to add entry in the parameter or spfile like +db_create_file_dest=.....

  • Create guaranteed restore point in oracle 10g RAC ASM

    Hi DBAs,
    In our production environment we have 2 node master RAC database (Oracle 10.2.0.5) (node1 name=master1 and node2 name=master2)
    for which there is going to be a release tonight so want to create a guaranteed restore point for this RAC database.
    I have googled many and found some ways, but before I implement it wanted a reviews from experts here.
    Note: We already have db_recovery_file_dest set up in ASM...db_flashback_retention_target=1440 and db_recovery_file_dest_size=200GB with arch mode ON.
    The steps are
    STOP the RAC Database on Both Nodes...
    Node1:
    $srvctl stop database -d
    $Srvctl stop database –d master1
    Node2:
    $srvctl stop database -d
    $Srvctl stop database –d master2
    And now start one instance only in mount state:
    On node1:
    SQL> startup mount
    Now enable flashback on Node1...
    SQL> alter database flashback on;
    SQL> alter database open;
    SQL>CREATE RESTORE POINT before_upgrade GUARANTEE FLASHBACK DATABASE;
    Now start the second instance…
    $srvctl start instance -d -i
    $srvctl start instance –d master1 –d master2
    Please let me know if there is something needs to be rectified.
    Regards,
    Ritz

    The steps look fine.
    Presumably you've already checked to see if the database is in flashback mode and it isn't...hence you putting it into flashbac mode?
    Probably just typos but it looks like you have interchanged database names and instance names in your commands....you have the following commands.  The srvctl commnds can be run from any node  (ie you do not have to run it on node1 to shutdown instance1 and node2 to shutdown instance2).
    Node1:    srvctl stop database –d master1
    Node2:    srvctl stop database –d master2
    You would run either:
    Any node:    srvctl stop database -d master (assuming you database name is master...this will shut down both instances)
    OR shutdown each instance individually
    Any node:    srvctl stop instance -d master -i master1
    Any node:    srvctl stop instance -d master -i master2
    Same commnds as above to start using "srvctl start"...the following start commands do not look right to me:
    srvctl start instance -d -i
    srvctl start instance –d master1 –d master2

  • Oracle 10g RAC, ASM or GPFS ?

    Dear all,
    We are implementing RAC 10g R2 on AIX 5.3, two nodes, using ASM.
    The question is, using ASM do we still need to configure GPFS ?
    (I come from development side, so I need to ask this question..)
    Thank you,
    xtanto

    Dear xtanto,
    I have several environments using 10gR2+ASM+GFS and works great and they are very stable. I will recommend it.
    Cheers,

  • Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

    Hi all,
    I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
    for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
    My question is this:
    How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
    I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
    I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
    Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
    So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
    Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?

    Need a clarification here...what do you mean by "Storage System"...do you mean a server/node or the SAN storage system. If you are referring to a server/node's local storage, then it would NOT be possible for use by RAC, since the disk space has to be shared among the nodes.
    Here is what you can do:
    - Create two partitions/devices (for example Disk_1 and Disk_2) in the SAN storage
    - Create a ASM disk group which would mirror Disk_1 to Disk_2.
    Again, please note that the partitions have to be visible and be accessible read/write from both the nodes/servers.

  • Does managing Oracle 10g RAC with ASM require full root access?

    We currently have three entirely separate support areas, Unix, Storage and DBA. We're now considering using Oracle 10g RAC with ASM and as part of the assessment trying to work out if we can still draw similar support boundaries. I know that installing RAC and configuring ASM requires root access but will DBA continue to need root access to manage & support RAC? If so, does anyone know if the commands they need can be RBAC'd or if we just need to share root access going forwards. I've had a look at a number of docs including http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/toc.htm. which is fairly informative but none of them seem to mention the requirement for root access on Solaris. I'm guessing they just assume that it's available, but that's not generally the case in our environment.
    All advice / info welcome!

    I would have thought that the only reason you would need root access once RAC and ASM had been set up would be to add more disks to the ASM configuration. This would be needed to change the ownership on the raw LUNs or to make additions to metasets (SVM/Oban) or diskgroups (VxVM/CVM). Beyond that, I can't imagine needing root access.
    I'm sure others will chime in if they can think of other reasons!

  • Problem with Oracle 10g RAC VIP network setting at Solaris 9

    Dear All,
    I have tried to set up a Oracle 10g RAC Release 2.
    With OS solaris 9, and 2 nodes.
    The nodes setting as the following:
    nodes 1:
    Public address: 172.16.0.121
    Private address: 192.168.0.121, 192.168.1.121 (dual path for heart beat)
    nodes 2:
    Public address: 172.16.0.122
    Private address: 192.168.0.122, 192.168.1.122
    And i have assigned two IP adress 172.16.0.131, 172.16.0.132 as the VIP address for the
    RAC.
    And the following is the /etc/hosts file:
    root@shk01 # cat /etc/hosts
    # Internet host table
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    # public address
    172.16.0.121 shk01 loghost
    172.16.0.122 shk02
    # heart beat
    192.168.0.121 shk01-priv1
    192.168.1.121 shk01-priv2
    192.168.0.122 shk02-priv1
    192.168.1.122 shk02-priv2
    # VIP address
    172.16.1.131 vip-shk01
    172.16.1.132 vip-shk02
    But when i run the command "$ ./runcluvfy.sh comp nodecon -n shk01,shk02 -verbose"
    it shows the error:
    ERROR:
    Could not find a suitable set of interfaces for VIPs.
    Result: Node connectivity check failed.
    I did try to add the VIP address on bge0:1, as i using bge0 for the public address.
    Both nodes i did using the same interface name for it.
    Anyone have idea for me to check out the error?
    Also, I have other question about the raw device.
    As there is option for setting for ASM or raw device. If choosing raw device, does it mean that it just need to
    format the storage disk but without newfs it? And then the Oracle program will able to handle it?
    Thanks,
    Xentar

  • Regarding Services in Oracle 10g RAC

    Hi All,
    We are having Oracle 10g RAC (10.2) on Linux machines.  We don't have any services configured failover. This can be visible from srvctl config database -d, as nothing related services information is displayed.
    I even checked failover_type and Failover_method from GV$session and for all it's showing None. We have only default database service (same as database name).
    My question is:
    Can I modify/configure this default service as failover/loadbalance enabled using srvctl? If so, please let me know.
    PS: I can't provide any output here as our client network doesn't permit copying.
    Regads,

  • Shared Storage allocation for Oracle 10g RAC

    Hi,
    I am about to implement a Two Node Oracle 10g RAC on Windows 2008 (32-Bit) servers. We are going to use EVA4400 storeage and we have 600 GB for Oracle RAC and database.
    I intend to follow the steps given in RACGuides_Rac10gR2OnWindows.pdf mentioned in Note 811271.1 (RAC Assurance Support Team: RAC Starter Kit and Best Practices (Windows)).
    I would like to know how should I allocated the storage for OCR,Vote, Database and Flash Recovery Area. Meaning how many LUNs and of what size to be created and presented to both the servers. To start with I need to create a 25 GB database. We will be using Raw Device for OCR and Vote and ASM for Database and Flash Recovery Area.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,

    I am about to implement a Two Node Oracle 10g RAC on Windows 2008 (32-Bit) servers. Oracle 10g on Windows 2008 is not supported. Anyway installing a cluster as of today i would use a 64-bit operating system together with a 64-bit database. Everything else is not state-of-the-art anymore.
    As of today i would go with 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0) plus latest patches for Clusterware and ASM. Because you are using Windows 2008 you must use 11g Release 1 for the database as well. Bear in mind that Windows 2008 R2 is at this point in time not supported for 11g R1 or 11g R2 either.
    I would like to know how should I allocated the storage for OCR,Vote, Database and Flash Recovery Area. Meaning how many LUNs and of what size to be created and presented to both the servers. This is said in the installation documents. Rule of thumb: At least three LUNs of 2 GB for OCR and three LUNs of 2 GB for Voting disk.
    To start with I need to create a 25 GB database. We will be using Raw Device for OCR and Vote and ASM for Database and Flash Recovery Area.According to Oracles recommendations: Two disk groups: one for database files, the other for the flashback area.
    But your setup may be different (more disk groups,....)

  • Need to change IP address and host name on a ORACLE 10g RAC setup.

    Hi Forum,
    I have a task to change the IP address, host name and host related details for the ORACLE 10g RAC 2 node setup. So Can anyone tell me the procedure to do the same on both the nodes.
    Regards
    Prakash

    change IP Address Public + VIP + Interconnect
    http://surachartopun.com/2007/01/i-want-to-change-ip-address-on-oracle.html
    change VIP name
    http://surachartopun.com/2009/01/change-vip-hostname-on-oracle-rac.html
    If you'd like to change HOSTNAME... Metalink (NOTE:220970.1)
    Can I change the public hostname in my Oracle Database 10g Cluster using Oracle Clusterware?
    Hostname changes are not supported in Oracle Clusterware (CRS), unless you want to perform a deletenode followed by a new addnode operation.
    The hostname is used to store among other things the flag files and Oracle Clusterware stack will not start if hostname is changed.
    Changing the Private Interconnect
    o Change of the IP Address: change the IP address in the hosts file and/or DNS and make sure that ASM and the database also use the same interconnect
    o Change of the private node name used by Oracle Clusterware: requires a reinstall of Oracle Clusterware
    So, Public or Private hostnames can only be changed by removing/adding nodes, or reinstalling Oracle Clusterware. VIP Hostnames can be changed
    But you can read this idea (reinstall CRS)

  • DO I need SFRAC for Oracle 10g RAC  on Sun Solaris

    My platform is SUN Solaris 10 64 bit on v490 server. On the backend side, we are using EMC CX500 storage. We will use Veritas File system and Veritas CFS.
    I would like to ask, Do I must need SFRAC to configure Oracle 10g RAC or Can I just use only Oracle CRS. I do not want to use ASM.
    Please advise
    Thanks,
    Sam..

    The VCFS usually requires a Veritas Cluster, thus you would have to use the product combination that is bundled as SFRAC as mentioned before. Metalink in addition says:
    10      10gR2 64-bit      Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC      5.0      Certified
    There is one exception to this rule: Linux.
    Veritas and Oracle support a standalone version of the Veritas Cluster Files System (and only this component) on Linux. This does not hold true for Solaris.
    Concluding, if you want to use the VCFS you would need to get a VCS, which then basically means using SFRAC.
    However, in this case, as mentioned before, you would not need ASM.

  • Oracle 10g RAC installation on HP-UX 11.31 for SAP ERP 6.04

    Dear experts,
    We are trying to install SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 with Oracle 10g RAC on HP-UX 11.31. Please note that, We are using VERITAS cluster filesystem (CFS) for this purpose and not HP-UX ServiceGuard ClusterFileSystem.
    *As per SAP procedure, we have installaed plain plain SAP system with single instance Oracle (ref: Configuration of SAP NetWeaver for Oracle Database 10gRAC guide). Now we are first trying to install Oracle Clusterware (CRS) and then we will install Oracle RAC software. Is this procedure right?*
    Which file (and its path) we have to use for CRS installation and its patch? Is it runInstaller under /oracle/stage/102_64/clusterware? With this file we can install CRS 10.2.0.1. Similarly for Oracle RAC, which files we are supposed to use, i.e for installation and patch upgrade?
    Also can we use clusterware package available from Oracle directly in the SAP environment?
    We tried to install CRS with runInstaller while running Configuration Assistant after root.sh script.
    The following commands are failing in Configuration Assistant:
    /oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/racgons add_config erpprdd1:4948 erpprdd2:4948
    /oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/oifcfg setif -global  lan1/20.20.20.0:cluster_interconnect lan0/192.168.3.0:public
    /oracle/CRS/102_64/bin/cluvfy stage -post crsinst -n erpprdd1,erpprdd2
    1st command does not give any output if run manually.
    2nd commands o/p: PRIF-12: failed to initialize cluster support services
    3rd commands fails in every check
    Please suggest the solution and expecting answers to the above mentioned questions.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Tejas

    Relevant docs for Service Guard (SG) cluster are available at http://docs.hp.com. Hope you have checked for the suport of oracle 92x on HP-UX 11.31

    You can go for combined os migration and db release upgrade also at a stretch with the same downtime.
