Oracle 11gR2 rac database upgrade

Hi,
I need to upgrade Oracle 11.2.0.3 rac db (TB) to 11.2.0.4 in unix environment
database is 2 node rac with asm file structure. oracle home is shared by multiple databases.
Could anyone guide for best approach to proceed with this upgrade?
What changes are need to done in existing 11g cluster home and asm structure for this successful upgrade?
Thanks

Hi,
For Grid Upgrade you find complete details at - Things to Consider Before Upgrading to 11.2.0.3/11.2.0.4 Grid Infrastructure/ASM (Doc ID 1363369.1)
For DB Upgrade following note can help. You need to select the option 3 for RAC DB.

Uninstall Oracle 11gr2 RAC database in grid infrastructure

Hi all,
After several attempt to install my Oracle database RAC with grid infrastructure, i want now to do a fresh installation as i have attempted 3 times and now i have all the procedure on installing the database and RAC.
Actually i have installed it correctly but now i want to cleanup my server and remove all oracle installation directory and do a fresh installation.
My question is what is the procedure to uninstall an Oracle RAC database and Clusterware with grid infrastucture and cleanup oracle base installation.
The architecture is:
GRID and clusterware: Oracle grid 11gR2
Database: Oracle database 11gR2
Database and grid storage: ASM
OS: linux centos 6
Thank you.
Raluce.

The deinstallation of Oracle GI could be not so easy thing to do, because it contains many components one should be aware of. The proper deinstall is important because it will safe you from many issues with next install on these servers
In general we need to be sure that:
1. all sowftware stopped properly
2. removed from oraInventory
3. binaries removed
4. /etc/oracle cleared
5. ocr and votes cleared using dd
6. /etc/oratab updated
7. .profile updated
8. init.d files in /etc/ cleard
Usually its recommended to use deconfigure scripts, if they fails for some reason, the manual procedure should be followed.
How to Deconfigure/Reconfigure(Rebuild OCR) or Deinstall Grid Infrastructure [ID 1377349.1]
How to Deinstall Oracle Clusterware Home Manually [ID 1364419.1]
As general recommendation its good idea to save your crs configuration for future reference.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC: Running the script root.sh problem

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller from step 1 to step 9 of 10 in both VM rac1 and rac2.
Now, I am running the script root.sh in VM rac1 and rac2 as below:
[root@rac1 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
Output:
CRS-4123: ohasd is starting
FATAL: Module oracleoks not found
FATAL: Module oracleadvm not found
FATAL: Module oracleacfs not found
ACFS-9121: Failed to detect /dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec
ACFS-9310: ADVM/ACFS installation failed.
ACFS-9311: not all components were detected after installation
'UpdateNodeList' was successful.
[root@rac1 /]#
[root@rac2 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
Output:
CRS-4123: ohasd is starting
FATAL: Module oracleoks not found
FATAL: Module oracleadvm not found
FATAL: Module oracleacfs not found
ACFS-9121: Failed to detect /dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec

ACFS-9311: not all components were detected after installation
Start of resource "ora.asm_init" failed.
Failed to start ASM.
Failed to start Oracle Clusterware Stack.
[root@rac2 /]#
As we see the output above, rac1 and rac2 get the same problems. in addition, rac2 fails to start ASM and Clusterware stack. Thus, I have 2 questions:
First, the common problem for rac1 and rac2 :
1)Module "oracleoks, oracleadvm, oracleacfs" not found
2)/dev/asm/.asm_ctl_spec not detected
3)ADVM/ACFS installation failed
Do the above 3 factors affect Grid and DataBase Installation later ? If yes, how to solve these problems ?
Second, how to start ASM and Clusterware stack in rac2 ?
Thanks.

you have 2 options:
1. OEL 5.6 comes with 2 kernels, the original Red Hat, and Oracle UEK, you can choose not to use UEK
or the one i would recommend:
2. Upgrade Grid Infrastructure,
*11.2.0.3.1* (patch 13348650, released about a 1 month ago) supports ACFS on UEK (starting with 2.6.32.200 IIRC)

Oracle 11gR2 RAC - R language integration

Hello,
We want statistical language R integration with oracle database. Does this come with default installation of oracle database Oracle 11gR2 RAC ?
OR it requires EXADATA - BIGDATA (oracle appliance)?
Kindly let us know steps for installation /enabling R language ? Basically we are looking for 3 options (transparency, In-database, embedded). Optimal option choice is done automatically depending on R language script (I think R script needs to have different calls?)
Thanks

Please do NOT duplicate your questions here.
R is a language. Oracle is a database. You store data in a database. You write programs [using a language such as R] to extract and manipulate data from the database.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC with Sun clsuter 3.3 clsetup not showing ASMDiskGroup RS

Hello,
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Solaris cluster 3.3 with hardware RAID and ASM
I was able to register rac-famework-rg and crs-framework-rg.
Oracle RAC is up and running (confirmed from crs_stat -t -v)
However, while creating option 5. Automatic Storage Management (ASM) on clsetup, I was getting ERROR: ASM is either not installed or the installation is invalid!
I have created the asm-inst-rg with resource asm-inst-rs and asm-dg-rg with resources asm-dg-fra, asm-dg-data and asm-dg-crs using CLI. Please find the complete clrg and clrs status output below:

Once I reach clsetup option 6: Resources for Oracle Real Application Clusters Database Instances, I was able to select cluster db name, oracle home, SID for both nodes, and it listed the asm-inst-rg and asm-inst-rs for selection of "Specify Oracle ASM Instance Resource".
The problem is the the next selection which is "Specify Oracle ASM Disk Group Resources" which does NOT list any asm-dg-rg or asm-dg-fra or anything, instead, it throws error "No existing disk-group resources available for selection. Run ASM subwizard create new resource(s) and come back to this panel for the selection."
Kindly guide me to create Resources for Oracle Real Application Clusters Database Instances either in CLI or clsetup
Thanks and Regards

Solaris Cluster 3.3 u1 solved the issue.
The problem right now I am facing is IPMP on the public interface.
When I remove the cable on the bge0, the ip on bge0 and the SCAN IP's are plumbed to bge1 which is in sc_ipmp0, but NOT the virtual IP!!! and the listeners on both nodes go offiline!!!
any inputs on the configuration will be highly appreciated..

Oracle 11gR2 RAC - timeseries

Hello,
We would like to know if Oracle 11gR2 RAC supports timeseries data storage and time-series functions. Timeseries storage is quite different - in terms of storage optimization - block storages, compressions, columnar databases and others. Time-series functions like regressions, data-mining. Does these options come by default or we require statistical language R integration?
Thanks

Hello,
1. Usally time-series data goes in multiple millions, so timeseries databases like FAME,KDB,SYBASE-IQ are used. Does oracle11gr2 provide storage optmizations, compressions, columnar database like FAME,KDB,SYBASE-IQ?
The only methods of optimization are partitioning of the data by some date or if data set is narrow (few columns)l enough, partitioned IOT.
2. http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/1515738
Link is about R statistical language and data mining integration with Oracle database 11gR2. Does this come default during installation or with BigData - EXADATA? OR this is a seperate license?I am not sure about the licensing, you will need to ask your sales person, but it looks like it might be apart of ODM (oracle data mining - a licensed product)
Take a read through this case study.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC and DR setup

Environment:
Oracle 11gR2 RAC (2 node) with ASM
HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64
We have configured two ASM disk group for Data & FRA, and we configured RMAN backup into FRA location. Now our Database, Log file, Archive logs and RMAN backup files all are in ASM on primary site.
Our network team is using Recover Point to mirror all the disks into DR site; we have no setup from Oracle side. What is the possible configuration that we need to have in DR site from Oracle side in order to bring-up the database in-case of primary site failure (disaster).
I am new to Oracle RAC can some one give me a suggestion.

Installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC Problem: ASM disks

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
At the first time, I create VM rac1. While its OS Oracle Linux 5.6 is booting, initializing ASMLib Driver OK. I create 5 ASM disks successfully using the command:
[root@rac1 /]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ASMDISK1 /dev/sdb1
Output: Marking disk "ASMDISK1" as an ASM disk: OK
Because the hard disk space of rac1 is not enough to install Database, I create VM rac1 again with bigger hard disk space (30GB). I do everything the same with that at the first time. But this time, While OS Oracle Linux 5.6 is booting, initializing ASMLib Driver failed. I create 5 ASM disks using the same command:
[root@rac1 /]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk ASMDISK1 /dev/sdb1
Output: Marking disk "ASMDISK1" as an ASM disk: failed
But when I use the command:
[root@rac1 /]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
Output: ASMDISK1 ASMDISK2 ASMDISK3 ASMDISK4 ASMDISK5
My questions are:
First, can the 5 disks "ASMDISK1 ASMDISK2 ASMDISK3 ASMDISK4 ASMDISK5" be used correctly in spite of Marking disk "ASMDISK1(2 3 4 5)" as an ASM disk failed ?
Second, how to fix OS Oracle Linux 5.6 so that initializing ASMLib Driver OK while booting ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. The issue is solved by myself. Thanks.

Oracle 11gR2 - RAC to RAC replication via SAN

Hi,
Anyone there experience before on Oracle 11gr2 RAC to RAC via EMC SRDF setup? Please share some information and also provide links if there is any white paper/technical paper.
Thanks
Edited by: 858013 on May 11, 2011 12:10 AM

In SAN replication, the database instance at the remote site cannot be started up and running as the SAN cannot allow read-write access to the filesystems.
When the primary site goes down, you simply issue a STARTUP at the remote site --- provided that the SAN replication has guaranteed write ordering, else you will have a corrupted database. That is why it is very important to talk to your SAN storage vendors to get the replication setup correctly.
(If the replication is correctly done, the STARTUP will "see" that the database files are fuzzy and that the onlin redo log files are available and attempt an Instance Recovery -- as if the instance / server had crashed or suffered a shutdown abort).

Install 11gR2 RAC Database Problem: Invalid source path /.../Datafiles

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 VMs (rac1 and rac2) whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6 in VMPlayer according to the website http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I have just finished installing Grid infrastructure and start to install RAC database 11gR2.
I have downloaded 2 files from https://edelivery.oracle.com as below:
V17530-01_1of2
V17530-01_2of2
When I start to install the RAC database using the above 2 files but get the error below:
[ora11g@rac1 V17530-01_1of2]$ ls

As we see the output above, the error is Invalid source path /../stage/Components/oracle.jdk/1.5.0.17.0/1/DataFiles.
My questions are:
First, are the files V17530-01_1of2 and V17530-01_2of2 the correct files for 11gR2 RAC database ?
Second, how to solve the issue "Invalid source path /../stage/Components/oracle.jdk/1.5.0.17.0/1/DataFiles" ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. thanks a lot for replying.
I go up one level ( / ) and run the command again as below:
[root@rac1 /]# du --max-depth=1 -h
Its output:
8.0K ./srv
83M ./sbin
9.0G ./tmp
4.9G ./usr
157M ./var
20M ./boot
8.4M ./bin

0 ./proc
248K ./root
0 ./sys
117M ./etc
3.3G ./home
3.5M ./opt
25G .
[root@rac1 /]#
As we see the output above, it seems that 25GB disk space is used and /tmp occupies 9GB.
I have remove the files under /tmp but after reboot OS, the same files come up again under /tmp.
Some folks use 12GB for each of their VMs and is enough to install Grid and RAC Database.
My questions are:
Why my VM with 30GB disk space does not have enough disk space to install RAC database ?
Can any folk help to solve the issue ?
Thanks.

Yes, I can connect to the vswitch interface on the control domain. I didn't specify any PVID because my understanding is that PVID will tag any frame with the PVID VLAN by default. basically the PVID for this interface is 1.
Here's the VNET config for the other LDOM in the RAC cluster:
VSW
NAME MAC NET-DEV ID DEVICE LINKPROP DEFAULT-VLAN-ID PVID VID MTU MODE INTER-VNET-LINK
primary-vsw-mgmt 00:14:4f:f9:91:fa igb1 0 switch@0 1 1 1500 on

NETWORK

Thanks for reviewing my configuration.

SCAN Name issue in Oracle 11gR2 RAC Installation

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 11gR2 RAC on VM ware and I got the INS-40922 (Invalid SCAN name). Do I need to create the SCAN name prior to the installation?
I have public,private, and VIP's. I am not sure how I create this SCAN Name. Please share your thoughts
Thanks

During installation of grid infrastructure SCAN will be automatically created. If you are using DNS then put the scan name and scan ip addresses entries in DNS . If you are not using dns/gns then put scanname and scan ipadress hosts file on each node in the cluster. Before installation, you should not be able to ping scan ipadresses.

Oracle 11gR2 RAC VM and SCAN and DNS and /etc/hosts (two) setup questions

Hi,
I am looking forward to setting up two Oracle 11gR2 RAC instances
on my Oracle VM test machine.
I plan on using the Oracle 11gR2 RAC VM template.
I want the final Oracle 11gR2 RAC instances to have SCAN that uses DNS.
The DNS will be pre-installed in the JeOS.
My first simple question about the setup is the following.
In my DNS name file, for example,
/var/named/chroot/var/named/milkyway.univ.db
do I need to provide the racnode1 and racnode2 information,
for example,
# DNS name file (snippet)
myjeos IN A 192.168.1.150
racnode1 IN A 192.168.1.161
racnode1-vip IN A 192.168.1.163
racnode2 IN A 192.168.1.162
racnode2-vip IN A 192.168.1.164
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.131
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.132
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.133
Or, can I just provide only the rac-scan information
# DNS name file alternate (snippet)
myjeos IN A 192.168.1.150
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.131
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.132
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.133
What I am getting at is the following.
Within the install process, will racnode1, racnode1-vip, racnode2,
and racnode2-vip host names and their IP address be written
to the RAC instances /etc/hosts files? (So I should not bother
to put them in the DNS name file like '# DNS name file alternate (snippet)'?)
Or, should I put the racnode and racnode-vip host names and IP addresses
in the DNS name file like '# DNS name file (snippet)'?
The second question is the following.
Are the cluster name and the scan name allowed to be different?
Currently, I would plan them to be different,
for example, rac-cluster and rac-scan.
Or, are they required to be the same,
for example, rac-cluster and rac-cluster.
Thank you.

We write this data out to /etc/hosts just to reduce the amount of round-trip DNS requests the cluster nodes make for themselves.
Are the cluster name and the scan name allowed to be different?They can be different.
