Oracle 10g RAC Database Migration from SAN to New SAN.

Hi All,
Our client has implemented a Two Node Oracle 10g R2 RAC on HP-UX v2. The Database is on ASM and on HP EVA 4000 SAN. The database size in around 1.2 TB.
Now the requirement is to migrate the Database and Clusterware files to a New SAN (EVA 6400).
SAN to SAN migration can't be done as the customer didn't get license for such storage migration.
My immediate suggestion was to connect the New SAN and present the LUNs and add the Disks from New SAN and wait for rebalance to complete. Then drop the Old Disks which are on Old SAN. Exact Steps To Migrate ASM Diskgroups To Another SAN Without Downtime. (Doc ID 837308.1).
Clients wants us to suggest alternate solutions as they are worried that presenting LUNs from Old SAN and New SAN at the same time may give some issues and also if re-balance fails then it may affect the database. Also they are not able to estimate the time to re-balance a 1.2 TB database across Disks from 2 different SAN. Downtime window is ony 48 hours.
One wild suggestion was to:
1. Connect the New SAN.
2. Create New Diskgroups on New SAN from Oracle RAC env.
3. Backup the Production database and restore on the same Oracle RAC servers but on New Diskgroups.
4. Start the database from new Diskgroup location by updating the spfile/pfile
5. Make sure everything is fine then drop the current Diskgroups from Old SAN.
Will the above idea work in Production env? I think there is a lot of risks in doing the above.
Customer does not have Oracle RAC on Test env so there isn't any chance of trying out any method.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Rgds,
Thiru.

Downtime window is ony 48 hours.Adding and removing LUNs online is one of the great features of ASM. The Rebalance will be perfomed under SAN. No downtime!!!
If your customer is not entrusting on ASM. So Oracle Support can answer all doubt.
Any concern .. Contat Oracle Support to guide you in the best way to perform this work.

ASM Supports many Terabytes, if you need to migrate 3 Database with 20TB each using this way described above would be very laborious .. .. So add and remove Luns online is one feature that must work.
Take the approval from Oracle support and do this work using the ASM Rebalance.

How to start Oracle 10g RAC database and clusterware?

I have steps to stop the 10g RAC Database and clusterware but not sure about starting it.
I have heard executing
$crsctl stop crs --as root
on each node
will start the database,asm,nodeapps .Is that true?
or we have to do that step by step like we do in stopping the clusterware and database below
1.Stop the agent:
cd to $AGENT_HOME/corpng04.amhc.amhealthways.net/bin, then run: ./emctl stop agent
2.Stop the full database
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop database -d db_name
3.Stop the ASM Instances on node1,node2
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop asm -n node -- I guess you can't give multiple nodes in one command with comma,you need to give this multiple times with diff node name
4.Stop the NodeApps :vip,listener,oms and gsd
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop nodeapps -n node -- I guess you can't give multiple nodes in one command with comma,you need to give this multiple times with diff node name
5.Stop the CRS cluster processes :those bloody 3 evmd,ocssd,crsd
$su - root
$CRS_home/bin/crsctl stop crs

Paul R @ NL wrote:
before is shutting down crs i tend to stop the instances and services via srvctl then stop crs via crsctl
just the way i do it. not saying it's the right way but it is the one i am comfortable with.Good -) If we stop CRS, but forgot shutdown oracle instances ... we'll see shutdown abort in alert log file(that mean instances are shutdowned abort).
We should shutdown instance before stop CRS anyway.

Oracle 10G Installation and Migration from 6i to 10G and

I never had the opportunity to Install or Migrate oracle any version.
We are in the process of Installing Oracle 10G and moving Oracle Forms and Reports from 6i to 10G. I am asked by my superiors to conduct the interviews and decide which candidate will be best. These are temporary positions but are very important as a wrong candidate will affect the entire project. Need the right candidate.
I would like some hints or suggestion as to what skills should I test or what questions to ask.
Any sites or any questions will help me.
Thanks to All

ORA-04030 On ORACLE 10g RAC database with two nodes as active

OS-HP-AIX 5L(5.3)----IBM
DATABASE-10.2.0.2(10G)
I am getting error "ORA-04030" while executing a query
I have already set the ulimits for oracle account to UNLIMITED

4)TIME----UNLIMITED(BOTH SOFT/HARD LIMITs)
step 1:-When I skip the listener then query executes very fine.But when
i go through the listener the "ORA-04030" errors come.
step 2:-Then when i stop and start listener on both the nodes the all
the query works fine.
This thing happens every time the system reboots

Migrating VB Applications on SQL Server to Oracle Forms on Oracle 10g RAC

Hello All,
I am looking at migrating a VB application built on a SQL Server database across to an Oracle Forms deployment with the data migrated to an Oracle 10g RAC database environment.
My first question is whether the SQL Developer Migration Workbench can migrate the SQL Server data to a RAC environment?
The second question is to ask whether there are any "toolkits" or tips from the community migrating VB applications to Oracle Forms.
Any advise or suggestions greatly accepted.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

SQL Developer Migration Workbench definitely can migrate SQL Server data to Oracle RAC setup.
However, I don't think VB application can be easily converted to Oracle Forms.
You can post your question in Oracle Form forum to double check.

Oracle E-business suite database migrate from AIX to Linux

Oracle 11i application database migration from single Aix instance to oracle Linux cluster RAC.
What is the easy way to migrate?
Migrate single instance from aix to linux cluster.
OR
Migrate single instance from aix to linux cluster RAC.
We have installed oracle Linux cluster.
Please help me which way I can go with RAC.
Thanks
Prince

Migrating to a single instance will be the simplest. The migration itself will not be much different between the two because you're migrating from one platform to another. The options you have available are, the traditional IMP/EXP, datapump, and RMAN to migrate to either a standalone or RAC environment. The difficulty will be in creating a RAC environment and a little a few extra steps in the RMAN restore. Working with RAC will make things harder, but the actual migration is similar. The steps to IMP/EXP, whether it's traditional or Datapump will be no different. However, standing up a RAC database will be.

Memory Leak when TOMCAT connects to Oracle 10g RAC using JDBC Thin driver.

We had experienced Memory leak when a Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) RAC node was evicted. TOMCAT app server is connecting to the Oracle 10g RAC database instances using JDBC 10.2.0.3 thin driver.
Anyone had similar experience?
Any ideas? Any bugs reported/fixed?
Thanks,
Raj

If you're doing XA, we absolutely do not support
driver-level load-balancing OR failover. Use neither.
For non-XA, you can use driver-level failover. For
non-XA, you could set load-balancing, but it won't
help because we get connections from the driver,
and keep them indefinitely, so the driver never gets
the chance to affect which connections the pool
uses after that.

Job Scheduling on Oracle 10g RAC

Hi,
If I want to run job on Oracle 10g RAC database having 2 instances suppose n1 and n2 separately and both instances are working/using same Service Name then how could i do this ??
or how to use SID instead of Service Name in Job Class ???
Please guide..... Replay awaited...........

Priyanka,
If you are a newcomer to the DBA, I would strongly suggest to invest at least time(if not money for training) in reading documentation related to fields in which you are working. For RAC, this should be a good start( V10.2) ,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/toc.htm
can we use these dynamic views in Procedure The counter question is, why? What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you can tell us this, there may be a better way we may suggest doing that thing?

Oracle database not starting up in oracle 10g RAC

Hi!
Recently I came across one problem with one node oracle 10g RAC.When the Oracle database is started,while opening it is giving ORA-03113:End of file on communication channel error.When I saw the the alert trace file and other trace files I found Disk group is exhausted error and it is not able to create .dbf files.Actually it is not a production server and I gave archive log destination in SAN.Even the spfile(content of init_database.ora) is in SAN..
I tried Asmcmd utility to delete the archive log files.As the oracle is not available I am not able to asmcmd prompt.
How to change the destination of archive log and to remove the old archive log files(as it is a testing environment we can remove) from SAN?Please let me know.
Thanks & Regards

On VMware there's a known issue with Oracle databases on a Windows client not starting up properly all the time and a manual startup using oradim -start -sid <whatever> is required to get it fully running. Hmmm, doing it several time, and never seen such issue. Which "known issue" and by who are you talking about ?
I created a brand new Oracle VM Windows 2003 32-bit server, installed the Oracle drivers for paravirtualization, and whammo, the problem is still hereI'm sure, you miss something somewhere in the config. Right now, you're on supported configuration, you could either raise a SR to the support, or get help from your peer on Oracle Database General forum.
Ah, but it's not a Windows issue. On a non-VM Windows box the database starts just fine all the time. Again, this is a known issue acknowledged by Oracle on the VMware side, I'm just surprised it exists on the Oracle VM side.Again, give more details about this "known issue". Never heard about that, eventhough I've been around for years.
I was afraid you were going to ask that. I'll have to search for it again, but I think you can do the same as well....Well, I doubt you could find a Metalink note about Oracle on VMWare. So far, Oracle has always refused to support database on OS virtualized on VMWare (or any VM software other than Oracle VM). Based on that, you could be sure, your "known issue" is not an issue on Oracle VM.
If you want more help, again, give more details about your issue.

Regarding database migration from Oracle to MS SQL

Hi All,
In my application, the existing database is oracle. we need to migrate from Oracle db to MS SQL.
We need procedure is as below
1.export data from Oracle and keep it in a file.(.dmp)
2.Import data to MS SQL from the exported oracle file.
and vice versa from MS SQL to Oracle.
my question is- is it possible to import .bmp (oracle export data) into MS SQL.
Please clarify me.

There are couple of options to get data from Oracle to MS SQL.
The simplest is to create a linked server in MS SQL that points to Oracle and copy data with a query like select * into my_mssqlTable from oracle.schema.table; via the linked server.
Some data types will not be supported.
That is for one time copy.
If you need a close to real time replication you can use MS replication (I would not recommend because it creates triggers on Oracle tables), or you can use GoldenGate or DataCurrents or other replication products.

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

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

Oracle 10g RAC to 11g RAC Upgrade on Solaris

Hi,
We are planning to do a migration of a 4 Node Oracle 10g RAC on Solaris 9 to 11g with Solaris 10. We'd like know what would be the best path to take. We cannot afford any downtime!
Options: Are these feasible? Which option is best? Any documents links?
a) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?
c) Use Dataguard with 2 different RAC environments (2 nodes each). How would this work? Is it the only possible way? Any steps please?
Thanks

first of all i would not change several components (OS, database version) at a time. My recommendation is to make small steps and start with the operating system first. Seconds recommendation is to test and test everything in your dev or test environment prior doing the upgrades in the productive environment. Trust me: You will face problems :-) So you better try it beforehand!
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?As far i know you can run different operating system versions on different nodes if they are supported (Solaris 9 and 10 are).

Oracle 10g RAC using 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 ??

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.
