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.

Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
I am a research student currently struggling to install Oracle 10g RAC on Windows OS.What i understand about a Oracle RAC database system is that it involves a configuration of multiple hosts or servers joined together with a clustering software and accessing the shared disk structures.What i also understand is that i need a CRS provided by Oracle for a Windows or Linux based RAC installation.
What i don't understand is for a Two node RAC system do i need a Third machine which has the shared storage device.If yes do i have to install a copy of Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition and CRS on the shared storage device moreover do i need to install a copy of Oracle 10g Enterprise edition on each of the nodes or just the clusterware is enough.

Hi Salil
No, you do not need a third machine. You can even setup RAC as a single node on one machine! What you do need is to have some sort of cluster aware file system. Try looking at OCFS on Windows in your case.
If you are interested in a Linux example please have a look at the examples at http://ocpdba.net/oracle9i_rac/cheaprac.html and http://ocpdba.net/oracle10g_rac for an OCFS implementation I am working on.

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,
Thiru

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,....)

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:

You have a lot of manuals online so check by yourself how to install and configure.

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.

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.

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.

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=.....

Using Clob with TopLink 9.0.4.5 and Oracle 10g RAC

I am trying to store an XML file in a Clob type field of a DB table using TopLink 9.0.4.5 and Oracle 10g RAC and need some guidance about how to do it. I got some directions to start it with the Tip "How-To: Map Large Objects (LOBs) to Oracle Databases with OracleAS TopLink" but still need some more helps.
When using the Oracle JDBC OCI driver, the tip gives the code block for a Clob field:
DirectToField scriptMapping = new DirectToField();
scriptMapping.setAttributeName("script");
scriptMapping.setFieldName("IMAGE.SCRIPT");
descriptor.addMapping(scriptMapping);
As I understand, TopLink creates instances of the Descriptor class at run time for each of the descriptor files and stores them in a database session, where is the proper place (in SessionEvent of TopLinkSessionEventHandler?) for me to get a reference to such an instance of my Descriptor class in Java code so that I can add the above mentioned additional Mapping? Are the above String values of "script" and "IMAGE.SCRIPT" predefined in TopLink API? Can I accomplish the same thing just using the TopLink Workbench tool instead? If yes, please advise the detailed steps to do so.
The tip also states to call the following code in case of using Clob:
DatabaseLogin login = session.getLogin();
login.useStringBinding();
Should the above 2 lines of code be called after the following lines of code?
SessionManager sessionManager = SessionManager.getManager();
Server serverSession = (Server)sessionManager.getSession("MY_SESSION_NAME");
Besides the above extra coding for the Session and Descriptor Mapping, is there any special handling in between Data model and DB table mapping? Can I map a Java String type to a DB Clob field using the Direct-to-field mapping?
Appreciate any help.

Never mind ....... I had already figured it out .....

Oracle gateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server

Is there any place that I can find Oracle dateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server? I can only find Gateway for Oracle 11g on Windows 32 bit server. Please help me to identify this. Thanks.

yingkuan:
Thanks a lot. The link tells the details. It seems that Oracle has not release Gateway for Oracle database 10.2.0.x on Windows 64 bit server. Probably they don't do it.
So under this circumstance, if I want to install Gateway (32 bit) on Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB on Windows 64 bit server for Teradata, I probably have to install Gateway software in another Oracle Home, then configure it right. Please give more advice on this. 32 bit Gateway will work for 64 bit database?
