Oracle 11gR2 RAC problem with resource state

Hi all,
I installed Oracle 11gR2 grid infrastructure with 2 nodes and I installed DB 11gR2.
S.O: HP-UX
I actived both DB instance in each node.
For an hardware problem node 1 become unstable (continuos auto reboot).
I found that the problem was RAM.
However I note that database resource is in a particular state and i don't able to reset it.
Performing command crsctl status resource ora.orcl.db this is the result
ora.orcl.db
1 OFFLINE UNKNOWN node1 Startup Initiated
2 ONLINE ONLINE node2 Open
That UNKNOWN state is really abstruse.
I tryed to perform crsctl stop resource ora.orcl.db -n node1 and the result is
CRS-2679: Attempting to clean 'ora.orcl.db' on 'node1'
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
HPUX-ia64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
CRS-2680: Clean of 'ora.orcl.db' on 'node1' failed
CRS-4000: Command Stop failed, or completed with errors.
I tryed to perform crsctl start resource ora.orcl.db -n node1 and the result is
CRS-2662: Resource 'ora.orcl.db' is disabled on server 'node1'
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
How do I do to reset that UNKNOWN state?
Thanks in advance.
Bye
Alessandro

I tryed srvctl enable instance -d orcl -i ORCL_1
but the results is
srvctl enable instance command is not supported for configuration using server pool.
I tryed to delete service ora.orcl.db and recreate it.
Now I have
NAME=ora.orcl.db
TYPE=ora.database.type
TARGET=ONLINE , ONLINE
STATE=UNKNOWN on node1, OFFLINE
So Targets are both ONLINE, but if I write crsctl start resource ora.orcl.db
the result is
CRS-2679: Attempting to clean 'ora.orcl.db' on 'node1'
CRS-2672: Attempting to start 'ora.orcl.db' on 'node2'
CRS-5003: Invalid attribute value: '' for attribute DB_UNIQUE_NAME
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
HPUX-ia64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
CRS-2674: Start of 'ora.orcl.db' on 'node2' failed
CRS-2679: Attempting to clean 'ora.orcl.db' on 'node2'
CRS-2681: Clean of 'ora.orcl.db' on 'node2' succeeded
CRS-2632: There are no more servers to try to place resource 'ora.orcl.db' on that would satisfy its placement policy
CRS-2680: Clean of 'ora.orcl.db' on 'node1' failed
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
Where DB_UNIQUE_NAME attribute must be set?
Any other suggest?
Thanks in advance.

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 installation with DNS

Dear Guru's,
I want to configure RAC on two node cluster with DNS(For SCAN) in my testing server.
O.S: RHEL5.4(64 bit)
Oracle Version: 11gR2(11.2.0.2)
Note: Am creating nodes in VMware ESXi server.
Just I want to know whether DNS should be configure in any one of those NODES or in separate machine.
Bala :)

Hi Bala,
I want to configure my Database with & without DNS. (Will try both installation in different servers)I think, you have already received a link on very good article about Oracle RAC installation without DNS and DHCP (I mean Jeffrey Hunter's article).
There is one more about Oracle RAC installation with DNS and DHCP (http://gjilevski.com/2011/10/05/build-two-node-oracle-rac-11gr2-11-2-0-3-with-gns-dns-dhcp-and-haip/).
And want to know how it forwards the client connection if a node fails.. Can anyone update the URL for this..There are a lot of information about it:
- http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/oci/taf-10-133239.pdf

Oracle 11gR2 RAC setup with ASM option running on two nodes . Seeking help

Hi ,
Recently we have migrated to 11gR2 extended RAC for one of our application using ASM . Its a two node RAC setup . We are using ASM Normal redundancy feature maintaining two failure group .
I need few clarification regarding our new DR set up .
We are planning to have EMC SRDF replication from any of node storage ( Either 1 or 2) to the DR disks .
Its stright to use when we use the normal file systems . In case of ASM , I am not sure how this replication will work ? and on which level the replication should happen ?
Do i need an ASM instance up and running on DR server , Which will recognize the disks as it is once DR disks are separated from prod replication and assigned to the server ?
What should be prerequisite on DR server before we can start the srdf replication (EMC) and make it work .
Thanks for All your Valuble suggestion .

Before you decide to use EMC replication give considerable thought to the fact that you are introducing a single point of failure.
Hardware snapshot replication is very fast. That is all it is. If you database crashes because of corruption on disk ... your replica will be equally corrupt.
What is fast can not do what DataGuard does ... verify quality. If the point is DR. Go with DataGuard unless EMC is willing to, in writing (not verbally) give you a guarantee (in hard cash) to cover all costs if they replicate bad blocks and it causes an outage.
And just so no one thinks I'm picking o EMC ... the same weakness exists with all of the other storage vendor's products.

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: 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-9311: not all components were detected after installation
'UpdateNodeList' was successful.
[root@rac1 /]#
[root@rac2 /]# /u01/app/grid/root.sh
Output:

FATAL: Module oracleoks not found
FATAL: Module oracleadvm not found
FATAL: Module oracleacfs not found

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)

Reinstalling Oracle 11gR2 RAC Grid Problem - ASM Disks Group

Folks,
Hello.
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer.
I have been installing Grid Infrastructure using runInstaller in the first VM rac1 from step 1 to step 9 of 10.
On the step 9 of 10 in the Wizard, accidentally, I touch the Mouse, and the Wizard is gone.
The directory for installing Grid in the 2 VMs is the same: /u01
In order to make sure everything is correct, I delete entire directory /u01 in the 2 VMs and install Grid in rac1 again.
I have understood it's not the right way to delete /u01. The right way is to follow the tutorial
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/rem_orcl.htm#CBHEFHAC
But I have deleted /u01 and need to fix one by one. I install Grid again and get the error message on step 5 of 9 as follows:
[INS - 30516] Please specify unique disk groups.
[INS-3050] Empty ASM disk group.
Cause - Installer has detected the disk group name provided already exists on the system.
Action - Specify different disk group.
In Wizard, the previous Disk Group name is "DATA" and its Candidate disks (5 ASMDISKs) are gone. I try to use a different name "DATA2", but no ASMDISKs come up under "Candidate disks". For "ALL Disks", all ASMDISKs cannot be selected.
I want to use the same ASM disk group "DATA" and don't want to create a new disk group.
My question is:
How to have the previous ASM disks and its group "DATA" come up under "Candidate Disks" so that can use it again ?
Thanks.

Hi, in case this helps anyone else. I got this INS-30516 error too was stumped for little while. I have 2 x 2-node RAC which are hitting same SAN. The first-built RAC has a DATA diskgroup. When went to build second RAC on new ASM disk new DIskgroup (but same diskgroup name DATA) got INS-30516 about diskgroup name already in use etc. Finally figured out all that was required was to restrict diskstring using button in installer to only retrieve the LUNS for this RAC (this was quick and dirty - all LUNS for both RAC being presented to both RAC). Once diskstring only searched for the LUNS required for this RAC only, e.g.
ORCL:DATA_P* (for DATA_PD and FRA_PD)
the error went away.
I also have DATA_DR and FRA_DR presenting to both RAC. Apparently it scans the header and if it finds a diskgroup name that is already in use based on the diskstring scan it will not allow reuse of the diskgroup name since it has no way of knowing that the other ASM disks are for a different RAC.

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:

Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux

Can we install Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Linux using OCFS2 for both Oracle software and OCR.
Actually i am facing problems with Oracle software location which is on OCFS2
Please help me

Though it would be technically feasible, oracle recommends against sharing oracle binaries for RAC.
You would be better off installing oracle binaries on a local mount on all nodes rather than a shared file system.
Cheers.

Install Oracle 11gR2 RAC : Cannot remove directory bootstrap under /tmp

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 am installing Grid infrastructure. I am on step 7 of 10 (verify Grid installation enviroment) and get this error:
"Free Space: Rac2: /tmp
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available.
Expected value: n/a
Actual value: n/a "
In order to fix the above error, I run "cluster verification utility" according to
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/rac.112/e10717/cvu.htm I run the following command:
[ora11g@rac1 \]$ /home_grid/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -verbose
Output:
/bin/rm: cannot remove directory '/tmp/bootstrap': Operation not permitted
./runcluvfy.sh:line 99:/tmp/bootstrap/ouibootstrap.log: permission denied
From the above output, we can see the directory bootstrap under /tmp causes the problem. The solution is to remove the directory bootstrap. I run the 2 commands:
[ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rmdir bootstrap
Output: Operation not permitted
[ora11g@rac1 tmp]$ rm -rf bootstrap
Output: cannot remove bootstrap: Operation not permitted.
[ora11g@rac2 tmp]$ ls
Output: there is no 'bootstrap' directory.
My questions are:
First, does "cannot remove boostrap in rac1" cause that /tmp in rac2 could not be determine mount point ?
Second, can any folk help to remove the directory bootstrap under /tmp ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. I have just run the 2 commands:
[root@rac2 \]# chown -R ora11g:dba /u01
[root@rac2 \]# chmod -R 775 /u01
ora11g is the user who installs the Grid and /u01 is the directory where Grid is installed and dba is the group.
I go back to Grid Installer Step 7 of 10 in rac1 and check again and see as below:
Free Space: Rac2 : /tmp
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available
Expected Value: n/a
Actual Value: n/a
The problem is not solved after run the above 2 commands in rac2.
In addition, I have run Cluster Verification Utility using the command:
[ora11g@rac1 grid]./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -r 11gR2 -orainv ora11g -verbose
Output: All of items for rac2 are passed. There is only one item for rac1 is failed as below:
Check default user file creation mask:
NodeName: rac1
Available: 0002
Required: 0022
Comment: failed
As we see above, the result of CVU command is not the same with Grid Installer step 7 of 10 (Installation Environment Verification):
CVU command doesn't find /tmp mount point problem for rac2 that Grid Installer does.
Grid Installer step 7 of 10 doesn't find user file creation mask problem for rac1 that CVU command does.
I have tried to find out whether creation mask failed for rac1 causes /tmp problem for rac2. I have changed the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" for rac1 in each of the 3 files below and run CVU command each time for each file:
rac1:
/etc/bashrc
/etc/profile
/etc/csh.cshrc
But chang the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" for rac1 in each of the above 3 files does not solve the problem.
My questions are:
First, why is the result of CVU command not the same with that of Grid Installer step 7 of 10 ?
Second, why change the line "umask 002" to "umask 0022" in 3 files can't solve creation mask problem for rac1 ?
Third, how to solve /tmp problem for rac2 and creation mask problem for rac1 ?
Thanks.

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 - 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 clusterware not picking up ASM diskgroups

Hello: I had to deinstall a failed oracle 11gR2 rac cuslterware. But, not the asm disks are not in the OUI pick list. How can I resolve that?
The storage is on SAN partitions.

Probably the install already put something on the disks.
Clean them with dd if=/dev/zero of=<your asm disks> bs=1M count=10
