Oracle 11gR2 RAC (convert single instance to RAC)

Hi,
Using Metalink Doc [ID 747457.1] I have converted single instance database running on 11gR2 to RAC (2 node) database 11gR2 with ASM. Its running fine, I am able to see the instances running on both nodes. But I am unable to login to the instance. It is connecting to ideal instance., but the instance is already running

Convert single instance in Rac

Hello experts, I have already configured a cluster database between two nodes with a RAC database named Cars. Also I have a single instance database named Persons in the first of the nodes. Now I need convert this single instance(Persons) in a Rac database, that is I want to have two RAC database(Cars and the new Persons).
Thank you very much in advance.

Oracle provides following methods to convert a single instance database to RAC:
Grid Control
DBCA
Manual
RCONFIG(from 10gR2)

I have 11gr2 database single instance running with ASM storage attached. i want to convert it into RAC on same server.
Can I take RMAN backup and restore in RAC ORACLE_HOME ? or do I need to go with rconfig or other steps?
Please let me know if have any good doc.
thanks

here is detail:

Convert Single İnstance To RAC

Hii All
I making some test in order to convert single instance to RAC.In the scenario;
1.Crs Installed on machine.Asm disks created (Node1)
2.Oracle database software installed with rac option on Node1 .but only with binaries no database has been created.
3.An auixilary instance created in Node1.
4.On Standalone machine Database copied via Rman Clone Active database feature to node1 in asm
5.Cloned database is working correctly on node1 as Standalone
6.Run dbca on Node1 and select single instance,select create template from running database and template saved
7.Run dbca again on Node1.Select create rac enabled database, template selected as saved before.
Database created successfuly in crs environment but dbca creates fresh database no data has been preserved
This convert way is possible ? Where am I wrong ?Why dbca erase all data and create new database ?
Which do you advise to me to perfom convert scenario ?
Crs and Oracle 11gR2 on Centos.
Best Regards

Converting single instance database(11gr2) supporting EBS 12.1.3 to 2 node RAC on RHEL.

Hi We are in the process of converting single instance database(11gr2) supporting EBS 12.1.3 to 2 node RAC on RHEL. Which version of RHEL is better? if its 6.x then x?? The oracle document only says RHEL update 6.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes you can use any version but i recommend you to use 6.2
Also refer my post for RAC migration in EBS

How to convert from single instance to RAC?

Hi, I have one environment it is version is 10.2.0.4 in linux SUSE.
I decided to move this environment to 10.2.0.4 Real applicaiton cluster has two nodes in linux red-hat.
Firstly,
I install 10.2.0.1 rac on two new machine in linux red hat.
Then I upgrade my rac to 10.2.0.4 from 10.2.0.
Now I want to move the single instance to RAC,
Is there an anathoer way that different from export , import?

Besides the obvious Export-Import which do not want to consider (although it would be the neatest method !), look the 4th conversion scenario under paragraph D.3.2 "Single-Instance to RAC Conversion Scenarios" at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14203/cvrt2rac.htm#BABFCAHF
The 4th conversion scenario is "Converting a single-instance Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) to an 10g Release 2 (10.2) RAC database, running out of a different Oracle home, and where the host where the single-instance database is running is not one of the nodes of the RAC database".
Reference section D of the "Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Linux"

Moving from Oracle RAC to single instance

Hi,
We are running EBS R12 on windows 2008 R2. Its a 2 node setup, we want to move it to single instance.
I heard that moving from RAC to single instance is not supported by oracle is it true?
Can someone kindly guide me documentation for the same.

Migrate from single instance to RAC manually

Hi,
I have a 10g database running in single instance.I have installed grid 11.2.0.2 in two nodes including the node where current instance is running,I have installed 10g again in a seperate mount point in both the nodes .It has the same patches as single instance 10g home.Now how to migrate from single instance to RAC manually.
Thanks,
Sekar

-restore this database into 11g ASM if its not already on ASM.
-upgrade this database to 11g from 10g on single instance.
-Now Converting Single Instance on a Cluster to Oracle RAC ,here you have different option to perform this once its 11g database after upgrade.
using rconfig
using dbca or manually.

We need to restore RMAN backup from RAC to single instance ASM,
Im new to RAC & ASM, What will be the changes
What will be steps involved into it.
Thanks

Hello,
Refer this MOS doc *HowTo Restore RMAN Disk backups of RAC Database to Single Instance On Another Node [ID 415579.1]*
On the Single Instance ASM, you need to specify the diskgroup name for the parameters "control_files, db_create_file_dest"

Benefit of RAC over single instance

Dear,
There would be up-gradation of our main system from oracle 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.4. The management wants to stay on single instance as it is now. But Oracle RAC is something that is must for all the critical system I need to present the benefit of RAC over single instance considering the high cost. Can you show me the benefits of RAC that ppl would go for it instead of single instance????

Hi,
The Benefits of Oracle Real Application Clusters.
High Availability-Oracle Real Application Clusters 11g provides the foundation for data centre-high availability. It is also
an integral component of Oracle’s Maximum Availability Architecture, which provides best practices to
provide the highest availability for your data center. Oracle Real Application provides the following ke
characteristics essential for a high available data management
Reliability – The Oracle Database is known for its reliability. Oracle Real Application Clusters takes this
a step further by removing the database server as a single point of failure. If an instance fails, the
remaining instances in the server pool remain open and active. Oracle Clusterware monitors all Oracle
processes and immediately restarts any failed component.
Recoverability – The Oracle Database includes many features that make it easy to recover from all
types of failures. If an instance fails in an Oracle RAC database, it is recognized by another instance in
the server pool and recovery will start automatically. Fast Application Notification (FAN) and Fast
Connection Failover (FCF) or Transparent Application Failover (TAF) make it easy for applications to
mask component failures from the user.
Error Detection – Oracle Clusterware automatically monitors Oracle RAC databases as well as other
Oracle processes (ASM, listener, etc) and provides fast detection of problems in the environment. It also
automatically recovers from failures often before users noticed that a failure has occurred. Fast
Application Notification (FAN) provides the ability for applications to receive immediate notification of
cluster component failures in order to re-issue the transaction before the failure surfaces.
Continuous Operations – Oracle Real Application Clusters provides continuous service for both
planned and unplanned outages. If a server (or an instance) fails, the database remains open and the
application is able to access data. Most database maintenance operations can be completed without
downtime and are transparent to the user. Many other maintenance tasks can be done in a rolling
fashion so application downtime is minimized or removed. Fast Application Notification and Fast
Connection Failover assist applications in meeting service levels.
Scalability-Oracle Real Application Clusters provides a unique technology for scaling applications. Traditionally,
when database servers ran out of capacity, they were replaced with new and larger servers. As servers
grow in capacity, they are more expensive. For databases using Oracle RAC, there are alternatives for
increasing the capacity. Applications that have traditionally run on large SMP servers can be migrated to
run on pools of small servers. Alternatively, you can maintain the investment in the current hardware and
add a new servers to the pool (or to create a server pool) to increase the capacity. Adding servers to a
server pool with Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC does not require an outage and as soon as the new
instances are started, the application can take advantage of the extra capacity. All servers in the server pool
must run the same operating system and the same version of Oracle, but they do not have to be of exactly
the same capacity. Customers today run server pools that fit their needs often using servers of (slightly)
different characteristics.

Db context file creation for rac to single instance cloning

DOC ID: 559518.1 Section 6: RAC to Single Instance Cloning mentions that the context file creation should be done as in the case of Single Instance cloning
what would be the command syntax?

Thanks Hussein. However, section 6 of doc 559518.1 mentions that part 5.1.3 when cloning from rac to single node should be done as in the case of Single Instance cloning.
the syntax for rac to rac cloning (which is in 5.1.3) is
perl adclonectx.pl \
contextfile=[PATH to OLD Source RAC contextfile.xml] \
template=[NEW ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/template/adxdbctx.tmp \
pairsfile=[NEW ORACLE_HOME]/appsutil/clone/pairsfile.txt \
initialnode
so what is the syntax for rac to single instance? I reckon I will still use adclonectx.pl, but now what would be the complete sysntax for single instance cloning?

Convert ASM single instance to RAC ASM instance...

Hi, all
Im installing OracleDatabase with RAC and I got an error on the Database Configuration Assistant that says "The ASM instance configured on the local node is a single instance. To manage this instance as a single-instance ASM restart DBCA and select the single instance database option. To manage this instance as RAC ASM, convert it to RAC ASM first".
How I can convert it??
Thanks

See the link below for converting a single instance ASM to RAC ASM. The link is to the Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Linux. If your platform is not Linux, check the Install Guide for your OS.
