Oracle clusterware upgrade 10.2.0.4

Will there be any separate patch to upgrade oracle clusterware from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4....
why because we installed oracle clusterware 10.2.0.1 and Oracle RAC database 10.2.0.1 and upgraded with patch 10.2.0.4.....which upgraded both clusterware and database to 10.2.0.4
Now due to some problems clusterware got crashed and we installed new clusterware 10.2.0.1 and need to upgrade clusterware to 10.2.0.4 with out touching the Oracle RAC database which is already upgraded to 10.2.0.4...
early response is appreciated

Clusterware sits in its own home ... what specifically is the issue not answered by the docs so we can help with the current issue?
Installation docs can be found at http://docs.oracle.com and there is additional support at metalink.

Oracle 10g to 11g Upgrade - Oracle Clusterware problem

Oracle10g RAC (2 Nodes) RHEL 4 64bit
Hi All,
I have began the procedure for upgrading Oracle Clusterware to 11g. However, during the install OUI was giving me certain error messages like it couldn't transfer the OUI installlogs to node 2. Well, I kept pushing through the install and after I ran the last rootupgrade script on node 2 it gave me the following error:

I am thinking that all of this is caused by the various issues I had with the install. If I am incorrect, then please let me know. If it is true, I would like to know if there are any 11g docs on how to clean up a failed clusterware upgrade. Any advice would be greatly appreciated on any of the situations I am having.
Thank you

Hi Chandra,
Did CVU report any problems before the upgrade?No, there were no errors reported by CVU before the upgrade.
I don't there is note out there for cleaning 11g CRS
install...and I think can very use the 10g CRS note -
239998.1.Yeah I might have to go that way.
I have both the 11g CRS install and upgrade from 10g
to 11CRS at
http://chandradba.blogspot.com/2007/08/oracle-11g-rac-
install-on-red-hat-50.html
and
http://chandradba.blogspot.com/2008/02/oracle-10g-crs-
upgrade-to-11g-crs.html
see if it helps.Yup, your guide is very simple, clear and error proof :) That's how mine when pretty much except right around 75% I started getting these strange errors of files not being able to be transferred to node 2. Anyways, it shouldn't be a problem as none of those errors were configuration related...or else I would have a messed up cluster.
Well, I actually rebooted both machines and now the whole CRS stack is up!! So I guess I am ok. We'll just have to wait and see.
Thanks for your help Chandra...I always appreciate it.

What are the steps to upgrade oracle clusterware from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2.

We have two node clusterware installed and we want to upgrade the oracle clusterware from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2 can any one share the steps for upgrade.
Regards
Naveen Dutt

Hi Rajeys,
I read all the documents but i was not able to find the information that i was looking. Below i am providing my cluster node configuration and version -
1) No of Node in cluster - 2 (node1 ,node2)
2) OCR (clusterware) version - 10.2.0.4
3) Storage type - NAS storage (we are not using ASM).
Now link provided by you is to upgrade ASM from 10.2.0.3 to 11GR2 but we are not using ASM as storage we are using NAS storage. Do we have any link or document that help me to upgrade oracle clusterware only without ASM from version 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2 .
Thanks in advance

From wehre can I download Oracle Clusterware 11.1.0.7 (upgrade)

I need to upgrade my Clusterware installation to version 11.1.0.7, but I can't find a place from where to download it (Google doesn't help).
I've installed Oracle Clusterware 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0) for Linux x86-64 from this page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/111060-linx8664soft-099033.html
Please, if you know, tell me where can I find Clusterware 11.1.0.7 (for Redhat 5.4 64x).
Thank you.

Yes, you need a valid CSI (customer support identifier) to access the metalink support.

Oracle Clusterware Configuration Assistant fails

I am installing clusterware 11.1.0.6 and the runcluvfy commands all came back as passed, except for the VIP, which the documentation says to ignore. The whole install goes to 100%, then it runs the configuration assistants.
It falls over on the first of these: Oracle Configuration Assistant. If I retry it, the same addition is placed in the logfile, as below:

So, it seems to be all about the OCR not setup correctly, however, all I've done is follow the notes. This was a 'clean' VM install of win2003 Server, so nothing has been accidently tinkered with.

Clusterware upgrade to 10.2.0.4

Will there be any separate patch to upgrade oracle clusterware from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4....
why because we installed oracle clusterware 10.2.0.1 and Oracle RAC database 10.2.0.1 and upgraded with patch 10.2.0.4.....which upgraded both clusterware and database to 10.2.0.4
Now due to some problems clusterware got crashed and we installed new clusterware 10.2.0.1 and need to upgrade clusterware to 10.2.0.4 with out touching the Oracle RAC database which is already upgraded to 10.2.0.4...
early response is appreciated

AIX is the operating system..... we installed new CRS ans it is functioning properly but now the problem is Clusterware version is 10.2.0.1 and ORacle RAC database version is 10.2.0.4.....
I read in some docs where Clusterware version should be same or newer level with Oracle RAC database home...
If there any patch can u just give the patch number for Clusterware 10.2.0.4....so that it can be downloaded from metalink.....

Installing RAC Problem: Oracle Clusterware 10g is present on remote node

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.
But get the error message as follows:
[INS-40915] The Installer has detected the presence of Oracle Clusterware 10g on the remote node rac2.localdomain.
Cause: Oracle Clusterware 10g is present on remote node rac2.localdomain but not on the local node.
Action: To upgrade the Oracle Clusterware 10g Installation to this release, run Installer on a node where Oracle Clusterware 10 installation is located. To create a new cluster, choose a set of nodes that are not part of an existing cluster.
Regarding the above error message, I do not install any Oracle Clusterware 10g in rac2 because it's the first time when I install Grid using rac1 and rac2.
My question is:
Do any folk understand how to remove something in rac2 to solve the above issue so that I can install Grid again ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
The tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/rem_orcl.htm#CBHEFHAC is about the regular procedure to deinstall Grid Clusterware and Database.
I have just installed Grid and have not installed the Database. I have removed ORACLE HOME /u01 completely in both VMs. There is no way to follow the regular procedure to deinstall at this time.
I do not install any Oracle Clusterware 10g in the VM rac2 because it's the first time when I install Grid using VM rac1 and rac2.
When install Grid again. I get the error message:
"[INS-40915] The Installer has detected the presence of Oracle Clusterware 10g on the remote node rac2.localdomain."
This is strange! It seems that we need to remove some files in the VM rac2 like /etc/oracle that I am not sure.
My questions are:
First, where is 10g directory to remove ?
Second, what files left on the system to clean up ?
Third, what does " Follow 239998.1" means regarding asanqa's replying to me ?
Thanks.

Hidden parameters appears after Oracle 11gR2 upgrade

Platform: HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64
Upgrading from: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
Upgrading to : Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
Issue : There are around 130 hidden parameter appear after Oracle 11gR2 upgrade.
Before upgrade I have commented the hidden parameters on the PFILE. PFILE only to start the database for the Oracle 11gR2 upgrade.
Before upgrade, checking the hidden parameter:
SQL> SELECT name,description from SYS.V$PARAMETER WHERE name LIKE '\_%' ESCAPE '\';
optimizerextended_cursor_sharing_rel
optimizer extended cursor sharing for relational operators
allowlevel_without_connect_by
allow level without connect by
I am using client parameter file ( PFILE ) commented the hidden parameters highlighted above.
However after successful upgrade to 11gR2, creating SPFILE from the PFILE ( commented the hidden parameters) now i am getting 132 hidden parameters.
SQL> select count(1) from sys.V$PARAMETER where name like '\_%' escape '\';
COUNT(1)
132

I just came across a similar case: 1 (just one) of our (RAC-) databases has 130-something underscore-parameters set to non-default values.
version is still 11.1.0.7 (e.g. not 11gR2).
All of those hidden parameters seem to be CBO related (list on request).
Weird is: Only one of our (very similar, supposedly same-config) databases have these hidden parameters set.
Colleagues justly wonder: Who, When, What has caused these parameters to be expliclty set for this one system?
Note: we do not have the complete history of this system documented (systems have been managed by 3 different parties already).
It is quite possible they came in with some patch or upgrade (catupgr?) somewhere between 11.1.0.1 and 11.1.0.7, but a confirmation would be nice.
Information welcome.

System Core Dumped after Oracle patch upgrade 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8

Hi,
We are continously getting dumps on our BW Central instance server after we did an Oracle patch upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8.
Following is our system environment
SAP Release.............. "640"
Application server....... "abci"
Operating system......... "SunOS"
Release.................. "5.10"
Hardware type............ "sun4v"
Database server.......... "abdb"
Database type............ "ORACLE"
Database name............ "ABP"
Database owner........... "SAPABP"
SAP kernel............... "640"
Database version......... "OCI_920 "
Patch level.............. "175"
Following below is the Core Dump that is generated for any process chains that we schedule on our BW server
Runtime Errors         SYSTEM_CORE_DUMPED
Date and Time          14.04.2008 09:26:17
ShrtText
     Process terminated by signal 11.
What happened?
    The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
    ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
    The current ABAP program "SAPMSSY2" had to be terminated because the ABAP
    processor discovered an invalid system state.
What can you do?
    Make a note of the actions and input which caused the error.
    To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
    You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
    termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
    date.
Error analysis
    An SAP System process was terminated by an operating system signal.
    Possible reasons for this are:
    1. Internal SAP System error.
    2. Process was terminated externally (by the system administrator).
               Last error logged in SAP kernel
    Component............ "Taskhandler"
    Place................ "SAP-Server awci_ABP_00 on host awci (wp 5)"
    Version.............. 1
    Error code........... 11
    Error text........... "ThSigHandler: signal"
    Description.......... " "
    System call.......... " "
    Module............... "thxxhead.c"
    Line................. 9780
How to correct the error
    The SAP System work directory (e.g. /usr/sap/c11/D00/work ) often
    contains a file called 'core'.
    Save this file under another name.
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
    an error message to SAP, include the following documents:
    1. A printout of the problem description (short dump)
       To obtain this, select in the current display "System->List->
       Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    2. A suitable printout of the system log
       To obtain this, call the system log through transaction SM21.
       Limit the time interval to 10 minutes before and 5 minutes
       after the short dump. In the display, then select the function
       "System->List->Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    3. If the programs are your own programs or modified SAP programs,
       supply the source code.
       To do this, select the Editor function "Further Utilities->
       Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred
       or which actions and input led to the error.
Kindly help.
Regards
Sachin

No. If the environment would be wrong the system wouldn´t start up.
Core dumps are in 99 % of the cases program errors (in the SAP kernel or in an interface (libdbora*)), misaligend accesses of data etc.
If you encounter such an error have a look in the C-Stack. If you can´t see where the error is happening opening an OSS call. Most of those errors are fixed by installing the latest patches for the kernel and the database interface.

New Note 790189.1 - Oracle Clusterware and Application Failover Management

Hi all,
please, note the newly created Metalink Note 790189.1 - Oracle Clusterware and Application Failover Management if you want to use Oracle Clusterware as a general purpose cluster solution. The note intends to clarify and to explain the current situation in regards to the supportability of applications managed by Oracle Clusterware.
In environments not including Oracle RAC, Oracle Clusterware still provides the level of high availability that is commonly known to be achievable for applications and databases managed in (failover) cluster environments. These environments can include Oracle Single Instance Databases, Oracle Application Servers, Oracle Enterprise Manager components, third party databases, or any other kind of application. (For more information on Oracle Clusterware 11g in general, please, refer to [Oracle Clusterware homepage|http://otn.oracle.com/clusterware].)
Metalink Note 790189.1 - Oracle Clusterware and Application Failover Management is tightly integrated with the information on application failover management available on the [Oracle Clusterware homepage|http://otn.oracle.com/clusterware] and discusses typical questions like
* Terminology
* Script supportability and preconfigured agents
* How to prove that action scripts work outside of Oracle Clusterware
* Supportability of the Oracle Database Single Instance example scripts
* How do I know whether a certain script is supported as a preconfigured agent?
Metalink Note 790189.1, however, does not change the level of support that has been introduced for these kind of configurations as of Oracle Database 10g Release 2: "Generally, Oracle does not support action scripts in the strict terms of supporting individual code fragments. Oracle fully supports the integration of individual action scripts proven to run outside of Oracle Clusterware into the Oracle Clusterware management stack. Supported operations therefore typically involve crs_* commands such as crs_profile, crs_register, crs_setperm, crs_getperm, crs_start, crs_stop, and crs_relocate invoked on custom resources. If actions scripts are used as part of a preconfigured agent, Oracle or the application provider who provides the agent will support the integration of this agent, while only the application provider will provide support for the individual action scripts."
Just for your information. Thanks,
Markus

not meant to be a question - rather an announcement.

Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Install Guide

I've downloaded the latest "Oracle Database - Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Install Guide - 10g Release 2 (10.2) for HP-UX PA-RISC" (part no. B14202-01) dated August 2005 from OTN. I'm getting the following error when opening the pdf file in Adobe Reader:
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'PEPPLC+Palatino-Italic'. Some characters may not display or print properly."
When I print the manual, I get blank pages throughout the document which, in my opinion, should contain text and don't. Specifically pages 1-11, 2-5, 2-19, 2-24, 2-33, 3-5, 3-19 to name a few. When I go to those pages within the pdf file in Adobe Reader, I get the error: "There was a problem reading this document (114)."
Can you verify this problem on your end. Also, how do I get a good copy of this document?

Hi!
Apologies for the delay in responding to you. Please try the documentation library, part B19306-01 at URL: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/database10gR2.html. Search for the part B14202-01 and click: pdf at top right. Part B14202-01 documentation pdf is currently displaying and printing on this end. The blank pages at the end of each main topic are inserted on purpose.
Another link to part B14202-01, on OTN is under the OEM, Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 2 (10.2): http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=21

Pros and Cons af Oracle 10g upgrade to 11g

Hi Basis Expert,
We have an requirement of SAP upgrade which includes BW 3.5, CRM and R/3 (4.7).
These components needs to be upgraded to the latest version
BW 3.5 to BI 7.0
R/3 (4.7) to ECC 6.0
and also CRM upgrade to the new version
The OS used is AIX and DB used is oracle 10g.
Can anybody share the pros and cons of oracle DB upgrade from 10g to 11g after SAP upgrade.
Regards,
Anil.

Hi DatabaseSAP and others,
