Oracle 9i RAC licence

We've recently purchase Oracle9i Enterprise Edition 9.0.1 and would like to know for licencing policy for 9i RAC. Is it required seperate licence for RAC ? Expect answer from Oracle Help Desk.

Hi
I am not from the help Desk but i can tell you taht you need not required special license to run RAC 9i, except that the clustering should be setup at the OS level and the runIntaller will detect and ask you whether to install software on all the nodes.
thanks

RAC licencing for AIX LPARs

OS : AIX 6.1
Required version : 11.2.0.3
On IBM P6 hardware, our Unix admins have informed us that they could configure AIX LPARs which could be used as RAC nodes. They said they could configure 1 logical CPU for each node so that we don't have to pay a lot for RAC licence.
Does oracle charge for physical CPU in physical cores in the physical machine or does it charge only by Logical CPU ? Any idea, roughly, how much does it cost for a 2 node RAC for version 11.2.0.3 ?

For IBM LPars oracle charge per logical CPU, but it depends on the configuration see http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf,
price depend on you location and how good you are at negotiating a discount, oracle do have an online store so you can get an indication of the cost.

Can Oracle 11g RAC support 2 separate databases?

1. Can Oracle 11g RAC support 2 separate databases given that it asks for SCAN ip for cluster with a single Listener port number?
2. Will the Oracle 11.2 database connections work successfully if I setup a mandatory DNS server within the Oracle RAC servers?
I'm leading a team for a 11g project and appreciate responses.
Thanks
Satish.

No Real Application Cluster technology has ever supported more than one database.Quite untrue.
I know that both you and Tom Kyte take the stand that a cluster should have only 1 instance per node.
That doesn't mean that it is not possible to have more than one database in a cluster -- i.e more than one instance in a node.
That doesn't mean that it must always be so. Installing a separate cluster and additional EE + RAC licences for a separate database can be quite expensive. Of course, your reply is "consolidate". That is another debate that has been going on for years.
A discussion on multiple databases on RAC is also at

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.

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.

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.

Hi all,

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!!!!

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 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 9i database to oracle 10g rac

Hi all,
Here is my situation:
I have a client who wants Oracle 10GR2 RAC with OCFS2 on RHEL5 using FCP and Netapp storage.Till here I am ok, now he has nine different existing oracle 9i database single instance running on various RHEL3 servers, each of these database are small databases of 20-50GB max. Now the client wants the following:
1. Move all these individual databases to the new RAC servers, which means I will have nine different database and instances.
2. What is the fastest way to do it, I can get full database shutdown during weekends.
Can I copy these databases to the new rac servers and make a new controlfile, will 10G read the 9i DB from the new locations?
How do I make these db's into a rac instance?
please help, very urgent.

Oracle 10g RAC - Private Interconnect on Private non-routable VLAN

In our data center there is an existing Oracle 10g RAC configured with private VLAN for Interconnect administered by a different group of DBAs.
We are designing a new, separate Oracle 10g RAC environment to support our application.
When we discussed with our data center folks to set up a private VLAN for our RAC Interconnect, they suggest to use the same existing Private VLAN used by other Oracle RAC configurations. In that case the Interconnect IPs will be on the same subnet as other Oracle RAC configurations.
For example, if
RAC1 with 2 nodes is using 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 in the VLAN_1 for the Interconect, they want us to use the same VLAN_1 with Interconnect IPs 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.4 for our 2 node RAC.
Is Sharing same subnet on the same Private VLANs for interconnects of different RAC configurations supported?
Will that cause any performance hit? That means the Interconnect IPs of One RAC configuration is pingable from other RAC configuration.
Did anyone come across such a design?
Could not find any info on this on Metalink.
Thanks

yes
this is practically very much feasible.. as you would have only 4 m/c in ip subnet .... and this is very much less than the public subnet which we should refrain from using from interconnect.
