Oracle Linux 6.2 with RAC 11g cluster install fails on root.sh ioctl

I have 2 HP Servers I'm trying to install a cluster to.
I've tried Oracle Linux 6.2 and 6.3 with the same error on both nodes when running the root.sh script.
I have tried the permissions, run-levels, etc that I have found in the forum and nothing has worked except the deconfigure works great. /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -deconfig -force
root.sh Errors:
Adding daemon to inittab
CRS-4124: Oracle High Availability Services startup failed.
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
ohasd failed to start: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ohasd failed to start at /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl line 443.
I can't see whats wrong, I did use ASM to configure iSCSI disks from a storage device which appeared to work correctly:
# oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
VOL5
# ls /dev/oracleasm/disks/
VOL1 VOL2 VOL3 VOL5
When I created the disks with ASM I used multipath successfuly:
# oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/mapper/23535333762373932
The other node can see the disks just fine with oracleasm listdisks
I chose 3 disks for the OCR - VOL1-3
There was one forum work around to edit the $GRID_HOME/crs/install/s_crsconfig_lib.pm which I did no Oracle Linux 6.3 to no avail. I also tried using NFS mounted volumes for the OCR drives but got the same error.
Using the install: linux.x64_11gR2_grid

oracleasm (aka asmlib) may not be supported on RHEL(OEL) 6.x. You do NOT need asmlib and it's days are numbered.
upon review of this document, even though it was for 10g, it still appears to be relevant
"10g: Using Openfiler iSCSI with an Oracle RAC database on Linux [ID 371434.1]"
and
udev utility can be used for disk mounting consistency between the nodes. It is the preferred tool. Note:371814.1 explains how to use the udev option.

Oracle Linux 6.2 with RH compatible kernel .versus. Red Hat Linux 6.2 diff?

Hello everyone
* assume that I booted Oracle Linux 6.2 with a Red Hat Compatible Kernel - as opposed to booting the Oracle Linus 6.2 with UEK R1 or UEK R2 kernels *
I am interested in any feature differences between the two OS relating to: functionality, reliability, performance, stability and tools.
The reason I ask is that my employer is trying to figure out if OL 6.2 with a RH compatible kernel is identical to the RHEL 6.2 OS, if we excluded the Oracle UEK and Oracle clustering extra functionality.
This OS will not be used to run Oracle 11g R2 database, this is to be used for any other Linux based non-database applications (such has running Java, JDBC, Apache, C/C++, etc).
many thanks
Yuri

So now I can tell them to use Oracle Linux 6.x with a RH compatible kernel for all those non-DB systems and use OL 6.x with UEK for Oracle 11g database.
And I remember there was (still is?) a third kernel, which does not contain new features or performance enhancements, but only bug fixes for the RH compatible kernel.
I am not sure if you are going to need it, but it can be very useful in some cases. For example, if there is a bug in the RH kernel, and you don't want to run the UEK line as you want to stick to 100% strict RHEL compatibility, then Oracle can put the fix into this 3rd bug-fix only RH compatible kernel series.
(For me, I've set up dual-boot UEK & standard RHEL kernels on my machines and never have never encountered issues or bugs.)

Webcenter Site 11g : Cluster Install : logout issue facing.

Hi Friends ,
We have installed the Webcenter site 11g Cluster install on Weblogic server successfully. We have faced any issues while installation. After successful installtion , When we login to sample sites( going here & then) and click on the LOGOUT button on the page , its not logging out , again it is landing with same page where we clicked LOGOUT button.
We shutdown one cluster server (NODE1) , and NODE2 was up and running , now logout issue is not persisting and same NODE2 was down and NODE1 was up , now also no issue. BUT , if we start accessing sites from LBR url , this logout issue facing. There is no Error in sites..log & cas.log.
:-( we have created the ORacle SR , but still we have not received any soln.
Please help us , what could be the issue here.
Naveen

It's possible this is due to the cas url not being set correctly. In SSOConfig.xml you have two places to set this
casUrl - needs to be set to the external address for cas, this link will be included in pages visible to the end user (eg via webserver or loadbalancer).
casInternalUrl - needs to be set to an internal address for cas, Sites/CS will call this directly (should not go through webserver/loadbalancer)
If these are correct, then try to rule out whether the webserver/loadbalancer is an issue
- is it session sticky?
- if you set casUrl / casInternalUrl to point direct to cas can you login/logout direct to CS without the loadbalancer?

I just bought v10.7lion but when I try to install it comes with this error message:"Install Failed"...try to install again. Now I've been restarting over and over again. What should I do?

JPPI-
Did you try it with the iTunes your Mac already has?
Try running Software Update in your System Preferences. That should bring your computer up to the latest software available for 10.4. You would end up with an older version of iTunes, but that may be good enough to activate your iPad.

Have tried yum install for above individual packages- packages not available. Why yum cannot find the above individual packages?

You cannot use OL 6.x since currently only 11.2.0.3 is certified to be installed on this OS - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e23558/toc.htm#CHDFHIEA
If you are going to use 11.2.0.1, you will need OL 5.x or another certified OS version - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24321/pre_install.htm#CIHFICFD

Hi Manu,
As Deepak mentioned, please try to enable IPv6 on all member servers first.
Based on my research, In Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, IPv6 is supported only when IPv4 is also installed and enabled. If Exchange 2013 is deployed in this configuration, and the network supports IPv4 and IPv6, all Exchange servers can send data to and
receive data from devices, servers, and clients that use IPv6 addresses.
Please also configure or disable Firewall to allow the connection.
Thanks

11G Cluster Install: Identify Net Interface shows wrong IP subnets??

I'm in the middle of an 11Gr2 cluster install.
On the screen where it has you Identify Network Devices,
On my eth0 (public) ip...and the eth3 (vip) listings...it has the wrong subnet.
Example...
11.8.224.0(shown by oui)....should be 11.8.232.0 for eth0
and
11.8.224.0 (shown by oui)...should be 11.8.232.0 for eth3
eth1, is shown correctly.
When I look at ifconfig...I confirm my subnet numbers should be ok. I cannot find a way on the OUI screen, to change anything about the subnet IP address. It will only let me change the "type" to public, private or do not use.
Any ideas where the OUI is picking up its information concerning the network interfaces?? I dunno why it is showing 224 rather than 232.
Any suggestions? I can't find anything about this on the Oracle support site...
This is on a RHEL5 box, 64 bit.
Thanks in advance,
cayenne

Yes,
you can configure etho or eth1 using
#system-config-networkafter changes done you have to restart the services, make sure both the nodes are not using same ethernet ports
service network restart

Oracle EBS R12.1.3 High Availability with RAC 11g on VMWARE

Dear All,
Our customer requirement is of high availability and good utilization of hardware for EBS R12.13 implementation.As per our strategy we want to use Oracle VM(I think it doesn't require any licensing) , RAC 11gR2 and appstier load balancing.We have only two servers to achieve all these.One one node there will be two VMs one for dbtier and another one for appstier and same will be on second server.So this way we will be having four virtual machines on two physical nodes.For all these we will use OEL Linux as Operating system
Please share your experiences , if above deployment model is correct or need further enhancements.

Steps Installing Oracle Database 10g R2 with Real Application Cluster (RAC)

Hi,
We are using Baan ERP and back end Oracle 10g R2.Now we want to use the
Real Application Cluster technology so that if one server fail ; all of the application data remains available via another server.But i do not know how to implement RAC.
Pl guide me.
Regards,

stop. BAAN and Oracle will have an "implementation guide" or best practices. There is also the Oracle MAA Maximum Availability Architecture. Go Read those first.

Constant disk activity on 2 node RAC 11g cluster - Can anyone help?

Hi Folks,
My first post on the forum so I hope you go easy with me.
I'm new to Oracle, and thought that the best way to get into it would be to dive in and build an experimental RAC cluster on my home network. To this end I used Jeff Hunter's "Build Your Own Oracle RAC Cluster on Oracle Enterprise Linux and iSCSI" guide.
My only departures from the guide is that I've modelled the architecture entirely within Vmware ESXi on a single quad core Opteron server (HP ML115 G5) with 8Gb RAM and a 1 Tb SATA hard disk. I've also used Openfiler 2.3 for the iSCSI storage rather than the deprecated 2.2. I therefore have 2 Virtual Machines running Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.1, and a 3rd VM running Openfiler 2.3. Each VM has a second virtual NIC connected to an isolated vswitch which functions as the RAC interconnect network.
I've completed the configuration of the cluster and all the checks (as per the article) report that everything is a-OK.
However I've noticed that there is a high rate of disk activity on my server, which continues constantly. I've left the server running overnight and the continuous disk activity is still there! :(
I also noticed yesterday that I could not stop the first instance using either the instance specifc srvctl stop instance -d orcl -i orcl1
or the global srvctl stop database -d orcl. In both cases the command appeared to hang. I had no problems stopping the second instance on the other node though. Not sure whether this is related.
So - does anyone else run a similar "single box" setup, and if you do are you noticing similar constant disk activity? If not could you recommend any troublehooting steps I can take to determine the root cause? While the disk activity is contant, the "bursts" appear random, so it looks like something is going on. Not sure what though! :)
Any replies would be much appreciated.
Peter

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
You are right in that there are a lot of guides around to creating "fake" RAC clusters, however Hunter's guide appears to be one of the best and I found it while browsing around the Oracle website. Of course Oracle stress that it is entirely unsupported and for "education purposes" :)
Well education is what I'm after and I accept that it would perform nowhere near a real cluster. Still the performance issues I'm having appear abnormal.
The background to this is that one the applications I manage at work (Vmware) has a backend DB hosted on RAC. There is an entire database team who look after this area. For my own personal edification I'd like to learn a bit more about RAC (and Oracle in general) and get my hands dirty, though I currently have no long term aspirations to become a full fledged DBA. I'm working through a text on Safari and I thought it would be useful to create a "fake" as you put it cluster at home and play around a bit. Unfortunately the resources to create a "proper" environment are currently not within my means:(
With regards to my problem I was hoping someone here has played around with a similar setup and could advise whether they had similar issues. The 3 days or so I spent labouring through the 60 page guide was far more educational than just reading a text.
I've found that the excessive disk activity appears to be down to my server and Vmware ESXi rather than Oracle. I stopped all instances and CRS and the constant disk activity still continued. I had taken number of snapshots of each linux node during my installation and I'm currently deleting these to see whether this improves things. My hard disk could well be the bottleneck as ESXi is really meant for SCSI controllers and disks if using local datastores.
I'll take your advice and have a trawl through Ebay. I will also install standalone oracle on a seperate box and have a play with that.

Got an Acer netbook which has linux operating system with Firefox 3.5 installed, the check for updates is greyed out, downloaded firefox 7 but will not install, we are constantly prompted by Firefox to update as 3.5 will no longer be supported

Basically acer netbook will not allow us to update Firefox from ver 3.5 to 7, check for updates box is greyed out, thanks for your help

Hi James,
Many thanks for your reply, the machine was bought from Currys the 3.6 download warns you it will only be supported for a short time, and recommends downloading ver 7, I am unfamiliar with the workings of Linux but the machine has been good, there must be a solution, no problem if we have to pay for the upgrade. Many thanks for your help,
Cheers, Steve

Installing Oracle Linux 6 For 11g

I'm downloading Oracle Linux 6,2 64-bit with the single intention to simply install Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition and I've never used or installed Oracle Linux before. I know that in order to install Oracle 11g database, I will need to have some kind of graphic utility like X but I do not need a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE (which is not permitted on servers per company policy). Can someone tell me what exactly or which specific options I will need to minimally install Oracle database 11g? I don't want to install the entire DVD content to my server but rather know what packages are required and ONLY install those. I don't know if the Linux installer has a fairly self explanatory / easy to use options based on me using this system as a database server but if anyone can please help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Sorry everyone but I've retured back from vacation to focus back on getting Oracle Database 11.2.0.3 installed on Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit. I've got the O.S. up and I thought I selected all the correct / required packages to perform the standard installation using the Universal Installer but it's not working for some reason. I'm unable to forward my 'xclock' session from the database server host to my workstation (Ubuntu 12.04 Linux). When I open a terminal window on my Ubuntu Linux machine and type 'xclock', the application opens w/o any issues. When I SSH into my Oracle database server and attempt to forward the X11 session over to my machine, I get:
carlos@ghost:~$ ssh -x carlos@oracledb
carlos@oracledb's password:
[carlos@oracledb ~]$ xclock
Error: Can't open display:
[carlos@oracledb ~]$ logout
Connection to oracledb closed.I obviously have the application 'xclock' and all required dependencies installed but for some reason it doesn't forward from my Oracle server to my workstation so that I can start the installation...
