Oracle 10g RAC install issues on VMware

Hello,
I have 2 virtual machines (VMs) configured each as follows:
- 1 local disk 20GB on SCSI 0:0 partition type is ext3
- 4 shared disk. partition type for each disk is OCFS2
- OCR 0.5 GB on SCSI1:0
- Voting 0.5 GB on SCSI1:1
- Database Data 10 GB on SCSI1:2
- dB flash recovery 20 GB on SCSI1:3
- 2 ethernet interface (1 bridged, 1 host-only)
- CD-ROM
- 700 MB memory
Each VM is able to read/write to the shared disks. Here is the contents of each vmx file

Added srvctl output

Hello,
I monitored the following file when starting the second instance.
- /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/log/shared-rac2/alertshared-rac1.log (on RAC1)
- /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/log/shared-rac2/alertshared-rac2.log (on RAC2)
There was no output generated.
Regarding the article you sent, I did not follow it, however I followed this article: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/chan-ubl-vmware.html
I did not follow it step by step as I do not want ASM in my testing environment. However, the concepts have been used as described and in the same order. All of the shared disks are Oracle Clusterware Filesystem (OCFS2).

hi
did you extract the zip file without any errors and with oracle user?

I have two questions for oracle 10g rac install for turbolinux11

this kernel 2.6.18-53
the first questions about asm
does asm`s disk only install a node (not install two or more nodes?)
the second questions:
does shall install oracle_clustware_10.2.1 or install oracle_10.2.1_datebase
when i install the oracle_clustware now i must be install datebase?????

Hi user10203064
the first questions about asm
does asm`s disk only install a node (not install two or more nodes?)
ASM instance shall be installed on both nodes
the second questions:
does shall install oracle_clustware_10.2.1 or install oracle_10.2.1_datebase
when i install the oracle_clustware now i must be install datebase?????´
You have to install first CRS, after that ASM and the database at the end

Oracle-10g RAC on VMware installed on Windows-7(Host)

Hi,
My host OS is Windows-7. Docs. posted on this forum for RAC on VMware says: your Host OS should be Centos OS and in which you will install VMware and Client tools also. In this way u can clone another RAC2 machine.
But I have Oracle VM Virtual Box installed on Windows-7. Another is VMware Player installed on Windows-7.
I want to install Oracle-10g RAC on my Laptop. Please any suggestions or Docs. related to this.

Hi,
while this is a documentation of 11gR2 it gives enough information on how to setup a RAC in a VBox environment:

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.

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=.....

Oracle 10g RAC VMware support

Is Oracle 10g RAC supported in a production VMware environment yet? If not, what is the hold up? VMware is the standard in the industry now and not being able to virtulize is both costly and not practical.

As the previous responder points out, whilst Oracle does not actively certify its products in VMWare environments, it will provide support provided the issue is already known on the guest OS, or it can be reproduced outside a VMWare environment.
I know of many organisations running VMWare with RAC, including my own although we tend NOT to use it in Production environments. Oracle has many resource management capabilities built in to the RDBMS and the Grid Infrastructure which only work well if Oracle has control of all of the resources on a server.
I guess if you're not satisfied with our responses, you should direct your question to Oracle Support rather than this forum. Certification of VMWare is probably as much (or may be mostly) a business decision by Oracle and us Forum members can't generally explain those decisions.

Oracle Database 10g - RAC install

1)
I am trying to install Oracle 10g RAC (for Solaris Operating System (SPARC)) using 'Enterprise/Standard Edition for Solaris Operating System (SPARC, 64-bit) - ship_rel10_sol64_db.cpio.gz' downloaded installation. There is no separate installation for RAC, so I assume this is the right install to use for RAC, right?
Since I don't have cabeling for Interconnect done yet, I tried to install Database/RAC prior CRS installation, but no option has been offered for RAC. Do I need to have clustering software installed first in order to be able to installl Oracle Database RAC?
2)
Why is Oracle Database 10g release 10.1.0.3 patch set (for Solaris Operating System (SPARC)) so large - 648 MB?
Do I need to install 10.1.0.2 first?

Hello,
there's no extra RAC software package, but the option is only offered, if one of the supported cluster layers for the respective OS has been installed before.
10.1.0.3 looks like a complete redesign, but anyway it is a patch, you have to install 10.1.0.2 first.

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.

Those errors remind me on errors I encountered when I was trying to do installation that was not certified,
so try to check if installation you are doing is actually supported.

1. Check the Details panel on the Configuration Assistant Screen to see the errors resulting in the failures.
2. Fix the errors causing these failures.
3. Select the failed assistants and click the 'Retry' button to retry them.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all,
I have a question about Oracle RAC and network interface.
We're using Oracle 10gR2 RAC with two nodes on Linux Red Hat.
Let's assume that the public network interface goes down.
I would like to know what happens with existing connections
on node with network interface with problems.
Are connections frozen, actives?
Can the users continue to use theses existing connections using the another node of RAC?If the interface is down? what do you think? All connections to this node will die. How does your application handle fail-over, does it attempt to reconnect or just have a complete application failure?
You should spend some time in a test lab where you can test this stuff for yourself. Read the documentation and there are tons of sites out there that purport to have all of your RAC/TAF/FAN/FAF questions. - I would read and trust the documentation first.

I know that the listener goes down and any other connections is allowed.
Thank you very much!!!!

I am using VMware WorkStation 5
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnWindows2003UsingVMware.php
I can see my disks from both machines. Open the "Computer Management" dialog (Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer Management
I use Windows XP SP2 as the host operating system
Any suggestion?

You know its not certified?
My first thought when I read the subject of this thread, and before reading what you posted, is that you've either done no research on RAC or didn't understand what you've read.
You can create a RAC cluster using any operating system certified by Oracle.
But the operating system is the least important part of creating a cluster. The questions you need to be able to address are:
1. What is your solution to created shared storage?
2. What is your solution to create the cache fusion interconnect and VIPs?
If you don't have an answer to these questions you can not build a RAC cluster.
