Oracle Failover options with HACMP

Hi,
I’ve been involved in projects that require different failover options for the Oracle Database including RAC, Dataguard, RMAN, etc. However, I recently embarked on some uncharted territory for me. I am working with a team that would like to use HACMP to failover the database.
Given the high cost of hardware, it seems to me that having an LPAR sitting around doing nothing except waiting for a catastrophe is a bit silly. I would much rather put that standby server to use by setting up RAC. That way, there is instantaneous failover and you can use the node for work. Slightly cheaper for licensing, we could use Active Dataguard.
Does anyone out there have any compelling advantages to using HACMP for failover instead of RAC/DG?

While I generally prefer the Oracle failover options, HACMP can be a reasonable option
- You don't have to pay for RAC licenses, which can be significant
- Assuming you have multiple databases, you can configure things so that LPAR A runs database 1 and LPAR B runs database 2 normally and the other database can fail over to the other LPAR if one LPAR fails. Of course, this isn't instantaneous, and both databases will probably run more slowly, but that may well be acceptable.
- You could have a DataGuard instance for database 1 on LPAR B and a DataGuard instance for database 2 on LPAR A, but applying archive logs on the standby database during normal operations would potentially affect the performance of the live instance.

Cannot install CRS on AIX 5.3 ML09 with HACMP 5.4.1

We have a two-node HACMP cluster, it's handling the networking and storage. (raw LV's) It's a fairly simple setup. I followed the instructions in document 404474.1 "Status of Certification of Oracle Clusterware with HACMP 5.3 & 5.4" to ensure it's compatible.
Full OS and software Versions:
AIX 5.3 ML9 (53-09_SP1_5300-09-01-0847)
HACMP 5.4.1.4
Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.1 from the install media, DBA will be updating to .3 or .4 after install)
We've run the cluvfy script. It does complain about some missing patches; however, I've verified that none apply to our system. Ie, some of the patches apply to previous AIX ML, etc. Cluvfy does, however, detect the presence of the cluster and successfully collects the networking info from both nodes.
So, the cluster is running, we run rootpre.sh successfully on both nodes. It properly detects the presence of the cluster and successfully makes several changes to the system.
Next, we fire up the installer. (runInstaller) We provide it with the details for the various directories and what-not, everything is successful until we get to the "Specify Cluster Configuration" screen. It's blank. For some reason, it's not talking to the HACMP and can't acquire any of the cluster configuration data. There are no errors in any logs. We ran the installer through truss at the request of Oracle support, but it didn't seem to show us anything useful.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is there something we need to do in order for the installer to communicate with HACMP?
Thanks!
Adam

Dear Kushan,
Few hints from my side
1) For ECC 6.0 EHP4 -> First ECC 6.0 will be installed on NW7.01 stack. Later you will need to use ehpi tool to upgrade to EHP4.
2) For SCM 7.0 plan the resource allocation for Livecache and Optimizer server. Ensure that they have ample resources for operation.

RAC on AIX 6.1 with HACMP

Hi
Can I have installation procedure and documents to Install 10gR2 RAC on AIX 6.1 using HACMP(for cluster control) instead of Oracle Clusterware. Is that possible ? anyone tried it before and share the experience.
Regards,
Akthar

Do you have any particular reason for using HACMP cluster control instead of CRS?
As you are going to install 10GR2 RAC So there is no need to use HACMP because 10G CRS can be installed without OS clusterware.
However CRS can be installed along with HACMP but oracle services should be controlled with CRS inly.

How to get standalone Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql?

Hi,
I do not know if it is just me but it seems to be a nightmare to get OHS with mod_plsql from the official OTN download site. I downoaded the companion CD for Windows - 3 disks, installed OHS - no mod_plsql. Then I tried to find any clue on OTN on how to download mod_plsql - none. Plenty of information on how to configure it and use it, but nothing on how to get it.
PLSQL gateways is not an option for us because many of our clients do not allow direct communication between the database and the Internet.
Windows 2003 Server R2
Apex 3.2.1
RDBMS 10.2.0.4
Any help appreciated,
WK
PS.
I would not like to download the software from unofficial sites but rather get it straight from Oracle.

Hi,
For those interested: I found Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql on OTN -> downloads -> middleware -> WebCenter suite.

OSB 10.2.0.2 Implementation on AIX 5.2 with HACMP - SSL Trust Issues??

Hello All
I think I'm on a bit of a long shot with this one unfortunately, but I am trying to implement an OSB solution on a production HACMP cluster. The configuration would look as follows:
OSB Admin & Media Host : Windows 2003 x86 (Host: FPTXOSB01)
OSB Clients : Server 'pserver1' is node 1 in an HACMP cluster, public IP address 192.168.14.6
: Server 'pserver2' is node 2 in the same HACMP cluster, pubic IP address 192.168.14.10
: Server 'ptest1' is a stand alone AIX 5.2 host)
OSB Version : 10.2.0.2.0
I have implemented the solution on the stand alone host 'ptest1' without any problems, and performed a full database RMAN backup on this test servr at the first time of asking. The problem I am running into is with adding the HACMP clients to the OSB admin domain.
HACMP is configured in such a way (rightly or wrongly I do not know as yet) with boot, public and cluster service addresses. Eg. Server 'pserver1' will return 'pserver1' if you enter the 'hostname' command at the AIX command prompt. Entering the 'uname -a' command also returns 'pserver1' as the machine host name. However, in the folder '/usr/local/oracle/backup/bin there is a link to a binary called 'hostinfo' and this is called by the installob routine during the installation phase. When I run this command manually, it returns the HACMP host boot address 'pserver1_boot'. The /etc/hosts file looks like this on one of the nodes:
# Internet Address Hostname # Comments
# 192.9.200.1 net0sample # ethernet name/address
# 128.100.0.1 token0sample # token ring name/address
# 10.2.0.2 x25sample # x.25 name/address
127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
10.10.10.86 pserver1_boot1 pserver1
10.10.10.87 pserver2_boot1 pserver2
10.11.10.86 pserver1_boot2
10.11.10.87 pserver2_boot2
10.12.10.86 pserver1_hb
10.12.10.87 pserver2_hb
192.168.14.5 pserver_svc
192.168.14.6 pserver1_pers
192.168.14.10 pserver2_pers
As you can see, the main host name is tagged on the same line as the boot1 IP addresses. Unfortunately, the 10.10.10.xx range is private and dedicated to the HACMP cluster configuration. So the situation is, all of the clients on the network access the cluster via the 'pserver_svc' virtual IP, which is fine. The Oracle databases listen on that VIP too, no problems. For telnet/SSH access to the host, we log on via the '?_pers' addresses (persistent addresses), no problem. However, two hosts themselves see their own respective hosts as the '?boot1' name. So, on 'pserver1' if I were to ping 'pserver1' it resolves to the 10.10.10.86 IP. All good, however the OSB admin server is going to come in on the 192.168.14 public network.
When adding the host using either the 'mkhost' command or the web tool, the host creation just sits there and eventually times out. If I change the '/etc/hosts' file such that 'pserver1' as en entry sits on a line on its own and configured with the correct persistent address of 192.168.14.6 and then try adding the host in OSB, the host adds okay. However, if I then try and ping the host using OSB, it returns the following:
ob> pingh pserver1
Error: can't connect to NDMP server on pserver1 (address 192.168.14.6) - timeout waiting for connection status message
pserver1 (address 192.168.14.6): Oracle Secure Backup services are available
Additionally, we have to switch the '/etc/hosts' configuration back because the HACMP cluster services expect that configuration and it will fail over if it performs a cluster host state check.
With this in mind, we've introduced cabling on to another unused NIC port on the two hosts, and put these NICs on the network on 192.168.13.110 and 111. I have retried adding the hosts with the machines actual host name, with the boot address (pserver1_boot1) and also with a new alias for the new NICs of 'pserver1_en1'. In most of these cases, adding the host actually comes back with a success status. However, the OSB ping consistently fails.
I believe that the mismatch in host names on each of the cluster hosts is causing the OSB trust relationships to break down as the certificates will be created with the non routable host/IP combination. The following is an extract of the 'observiced.log' from 'pserver2' following the host addition specifying the '192.168.13 .xxx' network:
2009/01/07.14:33:53 listening for requests on --

2009/01/07.14:38:54 failure to negotiate SSL connection with component obtool on fd 6 - SSL fatal alert during negotation (FSP Oracle network security functions)
I am clearly looking for help from anyone else who has had the unfortunate experience of implementing OSB in an HACMP environment. Speaking to people who work with HACMP tell me that the configuration is perfectly normal. To me, its odd that machine called one thing should return another value when it looks up itself, one that isn't routable.
If anyone can suggest anything that might help, additional tracing, manually creating SSL certificates to work around the host name, disabling SSL, anything that might allow two way communications on ports 400 and 10000 using the OSB tools.
Any helps here would be much appreciated.
Regards
Simon

I already have.

Does Oracle OLAP comes with Oracle Database 10g ?

1.Does Oracle OLAP comes with Oracle Database 10g or do we need seperate software to have this ?.
2.If I create a Cube with Analytic work space manager the cube is going to be stored in the Database ( meaning the in the table space where OLAP is Stored).
3. What is the difference between Analtyic work space manager and discoverer For Olap.
Help is higly appreciated ..
Thanks, Prasad

One thing to point out : The OLAP option is a costed database option, so while this is automatically installed and part of your database you do have to purchase additional licenses to use this feature. You will need to check with your Oracle account manager to see if you are actually licensed to use this feature.
If you have existing 9i OLAP cubes these can be quickly and easily migrated to 10g OLAP and the documentation explains how to do this. However, there are many new features that are part of 10g OLAP that will improve the performance of your data model that will not be enabled as part of a migration process. Based on my experiences it would be quicker and easier (depending on the size of your existing 9i OLAP cubes) to consider rebuilding your data model using these new 10g features. You should be able to export all the dimensions to XML templates from 9i OLAP and import the templates into the 10g schema and reload your dimensions.
For the cubes you will probably want to consider using partitioning, composites and compression to provide maximum flexibility and performance for your new data model. There is more information on these features within the OLAP documentation and in the many whitepapers and presentations on the OLAP home page on OTN.
For moving data from SQL Server to 10g OLAP much depends on the nature of the data transfer. If it is a one-off bulk data load then you could consider using the normal MS command line tools to dump the data out and transfer it to Oracle. Alternatively, you could consider using Oracle Data Integrator to manage the extraction of the SQL Server data and the data load process into Oracle 10g relational tables. If you decide to use Data Integrator this will require additional licenses.
If you can extract the data from SQL Server to flat files you can use Oracle Warehouse Builder (basic ETL is free as part of the 10g database license) to load that flat file data via external tables. Warehouse Builder can also be used to define your OLAP data model (think of Warehouse Builder as a more powerful version of Analytic Workspace Manager) and provides tools to load the data directly into your OLAP dimensions and cubes. You can get more information on managing OLAP data models with Warehouse Builder the Warehouse Builder home page on OTN.
There are no facilities to modify Discoverer Viewer to add customisations. You can add company logos, modify certain colors and/or hide certain features but it is not possible to add additional features. You may want to consider using BI Beans to provide this type of environment. BI Beans is the development framework used to create Discoverer Viewer. You can create customised JSP pages that look identical to Discoverer Viewer pages with the added benefit of providing your own specific features. You can get more information on the BI Beans home page on OTN.

Oracle VM 3 with SUN SERVER X3

Dear All Experts,
Is it possible to run Oracle VM 3 with SUN SERVER X3 has only 2 hard disks using local storage?
If can, how to do it? please kindly share this experience?
Thanks and regards,
Vandy

Booting to a USB-thumb-drive won't be a redundant OS mirror but that sounds like a good idea & that would be one way to do it. Solid State USB drives are likely more reliable than HDD but they do also fail (or maybe wear out & become read-only). Worst case you hopefully could just reinstall the OS on a new USB and your data would still be recoverable.
Speaking of adding disks, if the BIOS/MB supports it you may also be able to add a USB-3.0 HDD. USB-2.0 may also be an option but would be slower. For my Dev environment I added multiple USB-3.0 7200rpm 4TB drives and they give me some piece of mind and provide decent performance for backups for my Dev environment (I clone to them to give extra layer of back up).
I don't know if you can mirror 2 USB drives nor have I tried removing them and rotating them but both might be options (haven't though much about nor tried to do either yet).

ORACLE olap - dimension with huge number of members.

Hi Experts,
I have modeling a ORACLE OLAP cube with 10 dimensions. I have one of the dimensions which have huge leaf members...(probably 1 billion).. How many dimension members i can have for one dimension. Is there any limitation to the dimension members ?
Thanks and Regards
Siva

Hi there,
I'm not sure of the theoretical limits, but I would never recommend trying to build a dimension with 1 billion members.
In situations were such granular data exists, it is common to leave this in table and load data into the OLAP cube at a more aggregate level.
Which business entity are you trying to model in a 1 billion member dimension?
Thanks,
Stuart Bunby

Urgent !!! Line breaks using Oracle email option

Dear All,
I need an urgent help. My query is some what confusing so please do let me know if you need any clarification.
What I want to do is that I am using the Oracle email option. when I perform a backup the server sends an email to all the concerned authorities. It is fine till this stage. Infact that message that I am sending in the email is a TWO row query in the database. To display this message on SQL prompt is ok as it will appear in TWO lines. But in the email these two rows appear to have concated.
What i want to achieve is that each row should appear in separate line in the email as well. just like using the HTML tag <BR>, the next line is displayed in the next line. Is there any SQL command which I can use to solve my problem.
I would appreciate an urgent response as I am already short of time.
With best regards.
Khurram.

I used to declare a varchar variable for end of line like this:
EOL VARCHAR2(10) := CHR(13) || CHR(10);
Then I have concatenated this variable any time when I needed like this.
'First line'||EOL||'Second line'
Take care, email RFC specifies that a new line is composed from a carriage return a new line "\r\n", so you must use both CHR(13) and CHR(10), Oracle equivalent for \r and \n.

Different migration options with OWB.

Hi there,
We are very new to Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) version 10.2.0.3. We are Oracle E-Business Suite users. We will be loading data into 10gOLAP cubes via Analytical Workspace Manager and will be using Discoverer for OLAP for reporting.
We are considering various options with OWB migration from DEV -> UAT -> PROD.
Our current thinking is to install OWB in our DEV environment only. PL/SQL packages that are generated in DEV and tested will be migrated to UAT for execution.
Results of the execution of the PL/SQL packages in UAT will be subjected to users testing. Upon successful UAT testing by the users, we then migrate the PL/SQL code to PROD for execution.
What are the short comings of the above arrangement as compare to installing OWB on all three environments.
Also what are the benefits of using Workflow Manager as compared to using concurrent manager to submit our OWB PL/SQL packages?
Please share your thoughts on the above.
Thank you in advance

Sorry, but as you deduced, you cannot use branching in tests.
A test is expected to be a linear progression of slides,
where all scored slides have answers. If the user never sees some
questions, they cannot get 100%.
You might want to submit a feature request to specify that
only answered questions be evaluated when determining quiz passing
(or whatever terminology best fits what you'd like to see).
You can so so here:

Can ASM dose work with HACMP? (AIX5L)

Posting just once the same thread is just enough. This thread will be continued at : Can I use ASM?
