Oracle on Windows Cluster

I have made a cluster of two windows based server and deployed Oracle 10g Database on both servers. Both databases are point to Virtual IP of Server. At a time only one instance of Oracle is up but when Oracle up instance is get down how second Oracle Instance will get up?
please let me know in this case i can make another instance up manually or there is another way to make instance auto up?
Kindly let me know in detail with steps
Thanks,
Waheed

Yes....if there is a failure on the primary node. It works in conjunction with Microsoft cluster services and 'transfers' the instance (also the listener, EM etc) to the other available node.

Oracle on windows cluster, with failsafe installed. Can it be switched live

Hi all
We have a oracle database, 10.2.0.4, installed on a 2 node Windows cluster (2003 R2 64 bit). Only one node is the active node. On top of this Failsafe is installed.
Oracle is used for SAP.
Normally when I need to switch the Oracle database from node1 to node2 I follow this procedure:
1 bring down SAP
2 set the database offline
3 switch the Oracle database using failsafe
4 set the database online
5 start sap
Being a hospital we just want to have SAP up all the time, this procedure only takes 20 min but I wondered if the switch could be done live
So just go into the failsafe manager and switch, (won't do it in prime time of course)
Can this live switch result in a corrupt database?
Thanks for replying

Hi,
to do it really life you need another technology than a "failover cluster". You can use RAC for this.
A failover cluster itself needs to be sure that the stack is down, before bringing it up on the other side. If not this can leed to corruptions... (though Oracle will try to prevent them in most cases)...

Oracle In Windows Cluster

Hi
We are having a windows cluster environment? I want to add Oracle to this environment. There are a few issues
1) Could we add Oracle standard edition to windows cluster?
Please provide me some document depicting the process to do so.
Thanks

Fail Safe .... I understand that only one node will be active at any time. When one fails, second node is up and the traffic is routed to the second one.

Oracle on Windows Cluster issues

Hi All,
Oracle 11gr2 on Windows 64 Bit
In a active-passive setup on 2-Nodes with MS Cluster and Oracle Fail Safe,
1. Oracle Binaries are installed on local disk
2. Oracle Data files located on local disk (system, sysaux, redo, control, undo, temp)
3. Password file, Parameter files are on local disk
4. Application Data files on SAN
The issue is the cluster is unable to do a failover. But windows MSCS services are running fine. Both the Nodes are Up.
Is the reason because of the Oracle Data files not in shared SAN disk or a problem with Oracle Fail Safe.

It was quite a while ago but all i did was follow Oracle's documentaion on fail safe which can be found here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/failsafe-086865.html
What edition of Windows are you using 2003 or 2008. If its 2008 have you processed a validation report? In either case take both the Oracle service and TNS listner offline, then just try a fail over of the group, this will prove if the cluster is in a position to fail over (ip, virtual name, disks). If this succeeds the cluster group is good, what is left is just the Oracle service.

Oracle client install on Windows Cluster

Hi,
Is it possible to install Oracle Client (v10.2) on a Windows Cluster (win2003 Enterprise Edition) so that it is cluster aware?
Essentially, I need this to support Linked servers and ODBC connections (to Oracle database) on a Sqlserver instance which is going to be clustered . I am exploring possibilities of Oracle client installation which would require minimal or no changes when server fails from one node to the other.
Any help or pointers to any documentation gratefully recieved.
Regards,
Jim.

Hello there !!!...
I have a question like that... I just want to know if you can export data to a MsSQL server that is in cluster.
Thanks for the response.

Clone R12.1.3 in Windows Cluster environment

Hi Oracle gurus,
I’m currently “fighting” with cloning the already fresh installed R12.1.3 instance on Windows Cluster architecture:
Source system:
Fresh install EBS 12.1.3 on 1 physical server:
- Windows 2008 R2;
- Application on drive D;
- DB 11.2.0.2 on drive E;
Target system (single instance):
- MS Windows failover Cluster – 2 physical servers with shared SAN drives D: and E:
o oracleHQ1 – active;
o oracleHQ2 – passive;
o OracleERP – virtual cluster hostname;
- Windows 2008 R2 on both server’s C: drive;
- ApplicationTier on shared D: ;
- DB on shared E: ;
- Oracle FailSafe on both server’s C: ;
- DB (DB and DB Listener) and Apps (APPS_listener, ConcManager and OPMN) services are running on oracleHQ1 when active; same services started on oracleHQ2 in case of oracleHQ1 (hardware) fail.
- EndUsers logging through one url: http:\\oracleerp.domain.com:8000 to the active server;
- (My customer will prevent hardware failover through this solution.)
What are the steps to clone the source instance to the target, in order to have active/passive failover solution? I prefer to spare the steps, I’ve already done so far, to avoid misleading.
Please advise/guide, as I’m in a stuck for 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
here are the details:
First try:
All the preclone steps are done as per DocID 406982.1
On the target (logged onto oracleHQ1):
-     Successfully cloned and configured the DB with hostname OracleERP (virtual cluster hostname);
-     Successful appsTier adcfgclone.pl and AutoConfig with hostname OracleERP (virtual cluster hostname);
-     All the DB and apps services (named with “*OracleERP*”) are starting on oracleHQ1, except the Concurent Manager (fails 30sec. after start);
-     Not tried to clone on oracleHQ2 with with hostname OracleERP;
Second try:
On the target (logged onto oracleHQ1):
-     Successfully cloned and configured the DB with hostname OracleERP (virtual cluster hostname);
-     Successful appsTier adcfgclone.pl and AutoConfig with hostname oracleHQ1 (virtual cluster hostname);
-     All the DB (named with “*OracleERP*”) and apps services (named with “*oracleHQ1*”) are starting on oracleHQ1;
-     The instance is working fine, but unable to clone the same services on oracleHQ2;
My question is:
Should I clone the DB and the Apps firstly with hostname oracleHQ1 (logged through oracleHQ1), or I should clone it with hostname OracleERP (virtual cluster hostname)? And how are the same services created and configured on the second server oracleHQ2 (should the services have the identical names), in case of failover.
Thank you

CCMS on Windows cluster - monitor database disks

Hi all,
We have BI7.0 system on windows cluster and ORACLE database. In default ccms doesn't monitor the storage disks (not local disks). SoI've followed the instructions of note 536954 and installed SAPCCMSR in cluster database group to be able to monitor this disks.
However in RZ20->filesystem I see the new instance (virtual name of the database) but still see only local disks. Any idea ?
Please advice,
Dimitry Haritonov

anyone ?
it´s weekend
sapccms makes the data available, the filesystem data itself is collected by saposcol. Do you use the newest version?

Berkeley DB on Windows Cluster

Does anyone have experience running a Windows service that uses Berkeley DB on a typical active/passive Windows Cluster with shared disks? Is it even possible with Berkeley DB? Just to avoid confusion, I am not talking about replication, but about a failover situation, where one instance of the service gets deactivated, another one activated, and both would access the same (shared) RAID5 disk array which holds the BDB database files.
Karl

Hi Karl,
Berkeley DB has not been tested on Windows clusters
and so it is not an officially supported platform.
Here's my understanding of the scenario:
There are two nodes that are connected to the same
shared disk. One of the nodes is active, and the
other is a passive standby. The Berkeley DB
application is running on one node and accessing data
on the shared disk. When the primary fails, the
Windows cluster services (I believe it used to be
called Wolfpack?) will allow you to failover the
application to the other (passive) node and continue
processing. There are also services to fail back,
once the original node is restarted.Yes, that is correct.
>
I believe that Windows cluster services will control
access to the disk and ensure that BDB running on the
passive node will only access the disk when the
primary fails.Yes. Actually, the passive node has no control over the
shared disk, so the BDB application can only open the
environment after the passive node becomes active and
gains access to the shared disk.
So, I'm tempted to say that this scenario should
work, assuming you're using Windows services
correctly. To my knowledge, there's nothing in
Berkeley DB to prevent this usage. On the other
hand, you'll be relying on the underlying OS services
to give the correct semantics wrt. accessing the
shared storage. For example, if BOTH nodes were to
write to the shared storage, you will most likely get
data corruption, since BDB does not synchronize disk
access ACROSS nodes.That will not happen, as the services on the passive node have
no access to the shared disk.
I'll continue to ask around for a better answer. In
the meantime, I'd encourage you to continue your
testing and keep us posted. If you prefer, you can
contact me directly at ashok dot joshi at oracle dot
com.Thanks for your feedback.
My current theory is that a failover is equivalent to a
BDB application crashing and being restarted.
So one has to re-open the environment and run recovery
before continuing work.

Can we install a new mssql cluster on the same windows cluster which already containes a mssql cluster with named instance

We have a MSSQL 2008R2 Enterprise edition with a two node active passive fail-over cluster running on 2008R2 windows cluster with out any issues,
Now my question is can we add one more MSSSQL cluster instance for the same setup with out disturbing the existing one ?
Also give thoughts on load sharing as the second node is mostly ideal now except fail-over scenarios,
Why we go for this situation is because of the collation setting which can be set only one per instance(Database collation setting change not working), we need a different default collation for the new setup

hi,
>>Now my question is can we add one more MSSSQL cluster instance for the same setup with out disturbing the existing one ?
Yes it is possible .You need to add new drives as cluster aware and install SQL server and put data and log files on thse drives.YOu would need to create named instance of SQL server and need to create different resource group.Both old installation and new
onw would work separately.
>>Also give thoughts on load sharing as the second node is mostly ideal now except fail-over scenarios,
Good point indeed.You are about to create Multi instance cluster and should plan for scenario where one node is down and other node is handling load for both instances.Memory and CPU should be enough to handle the load.
>>Why we go for this situation is because of the collation setting which can be set only one per instance(Database collation setting change not working), we need a different default collation for the new setup .
Just for collation if you are installing new instance seems little wierd to me.You can manage collation at column ,database and at server level.

under Windows NT platform. I had several kind of problem. Atlast
I found the installation tips very help and followed it step by
step. Still I am facing the problem. Let me explain what i did,
step by step,
1.downloaded the Oracle forms self extract file. Unzipped. Ran
the Setup.exe.
2.This prepared for Oracle Developer installation. I selected
default path and home(d:\ORANT and home_Default). Selected
oracle forms and installed it.
3.Repeated step 2 to install reports 6i.
4.Restarted the system.
5.Created another directory d:\orantnew
6.Used the Oracle 8 CD and installed using the Autorun.Selected
different path and oracle Home this time.(D:\orantnew and
home_New).
7. Selected the Oracle Enterprise Edition option and did the
installation.Rebooted the system.
8. Did the TCP/IP changes explained in the Step (5) and Step (6)
given below in Mr.Krishna's reply.
9. Tried to start the listner by following Step (7) the listener
won't start.
10. Went ahead and copied the TNSNAMES.
Connected to SQL*Plus using Start/Program/Oracle-OracntNew using
SCOTT/TIGER and connect went thru.
Then tried "CONNECT" from form builder, won't connect. I think
the error message was some thing related to TNS..(Since I have
uninstalled all the Oracle components now i can't give the exact
error.Sorry). I would like to know if there is anything I am
doing wrong or missing out something.
Note : While uninstalling the oracle components i had problem
removing the bin directory. So I had to stop some of the
services
(OracleServiceORC1 and OracleStartORC1 from
start/controlpanel/services option) in order to delete the
oracle components.
Please someone let me know how can I install Oracle 8 and Oracle
Developer 6i,in windows NT platform.
Incase if i am doing anything wrong in the above given step or
missing out something pl let me know.
Thanks.

Hi, >Try these steps, but you need to change a few things for Win2000 even I am trying, but Listener does'nt start there is a
problem I am looking into it, If you find the solution pl let me
know, these work fine on Win95/98 I have tried and they all work
fine.>-------------------------------------------->Installing
Personal Oracle 8. 1. 6. 0. 0 with Developer v6i (Reports 6. 0.
8. 8. 3, Forms 6. 0. 8. 0. 9)>On Windows 98>Note: All other
combinations may or may not work.> If you want to install
designer as well, do it now.
** Clean all Oracles off the computer using the following instructions. (Windows 95 and
Windows 98)
1. In regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
3. Delete the ORACLE key.
4. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC pertaining to Oracle.
5. Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC pertaining to Oracle.
6. Edit your AUTOEXE.BAT file and remove your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin and JRE paths from the path settings.
7. From the Windows Explorer (or from the command prompt), delete the Oracle Directory
(Oracle Base).
8. Delete < System_Drive > C:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command
prompt).
9. Delete Icons from < System_Drive> C:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <System_Drive>
C:\Windows\StartMenu\Oracle Installation Products. Where<HOME>
is the previous HOME name.
10. Reboot the system.
Installing Developer 6i(Forms and Reports)
1. Download the file from OTN site or Install from the CD. Install the installer. It will go
into a new default Oracle home that it will create. When you go
to install your Developer CD, close the installer that comes up
with the CD autorun. Go to the programs menu and Oracle for
Windows 95 and click on the installer there. Once it is open,
browse to the CD you wish to install. (installr/install/us)
2. Start installer. Install Developer 6i first to default directory, Orawin95 How? Start installer, follow the prompts
that appear on the screen, you may have to do this twice, once
for Oracle Forms and once for Oracle Reports, after the
installation is successful reboot the system.
3. If you want to install Designer 6 as well, do it now. (But I have not installed
the Designer ) Designer has to be installed before PO 8. 1. 6,
because PO816 can detect only one Oracle_home.
4. Create a new folder on your root directory called Orawin98. Start the installer set-up from where you downloaded it and
select Orawin98 to install it in this time. You also need to
give this second home a name whatever you want, but through out
the process, you have to use the identical name, that is
critical. Orawin98 indicates this name in these instructions. Do
not reboot. Install Oracle 8.1.6 to the directory Orawin98 using
the installer. Reboot the system.
5. Go to Start/Setting/Control Panel/Network, if you do not have TCP/IP installed, install it
now, if you do, highlight TCP/IP, click properties. Select DNS
tab, select enable DNS, at the host area, type "Orawin98", leave
domain empty. Go to Identification Tab and enter your database
name, in this case BBM. Reboot the system after you finish.
6. Configure your database listener. Go to Start/Programs/Oracle- Orawin98/Network Admistration/Net8
Assistant, a window will pop
up, at the window expand Local and expand Listeners and double
click it, you will see a new window, go through all the tab
menus. At location address 1, Host name: use "Orawin98", Port
use: 1521 (default). And at location address 2, Host name:
use "Orawin98", Port use: 2481, go to the file/ save, close Net8
Assistant.
7. Start listener how? Go to Dos Window, type LSNRCTL, return, at LSNRCTL>, type Start. Listener should start
successfully, if not, you need to go back to Net8 Assistant to
check configuration.
8. Copy file "TNSNAMES" in directory C:\Orawin98\Net80\Admin to C:\oraein95\Net80\Admin.
9. You are finished.
10. To connect Forms/Reports/SQLPLUS to database - First start the
Listener, then start the database. Next, go to File menu in
Forms/Reports and select Connect. Type in user name and password
(system/manager or whatever) in this case it is SCOTT/TIGER and
the database name is your "DATABASENAME". When you want to quit
you need to exit from file menu of Forms/Reports, then you need
to stop Listener and then shut down database.
11. You can rename your computer name in your original name. (for local networks)
Let me know if it is working.>null

Install Forms in one directory (You can have reports in the same
directory).
Install oracle DB in another directory.
Don't change any file and reboot.
The listener will start automatically as a service.
(If not from a command line write "lsnrctl start" to start it).
To connect from forms/report to the DB you need to activate the
sqlnet easy config tool from the directory where forms is.
Follow the wizard to define an entry in the tnsnames.ora file
automatically.
Then you can use your forms with the DB.
(IF you get problems it usually helps to let us know the error
code you get so we can direct you in the correct direction).

How to manage windows cluster on windows server 2008 R2

Hi I want to know how to properly shutdown or stop windows cluster with out failover or failing it.
I have successfully created windows cluster on win 2008 R2 sp1 using vmware with starwind software for SAN storage.
Now when I shut down or stop cluster service on node1 it failsover and shows critical errors fine.ok... I tried to destroy and clean up cluster using cmd commands.Forcecleanup both nodes with cmd commands.it was successful.
Later I recreated san storage with target and initiator configuration using starwind without any issue.
I Reinstalled FC service on both the nodes restarted vmnodes.I cheked all the firewall were disable.and machines able to ping well..
Now when I tried to recreate new cluster it fails and gives different errors.AS Node1 was evicted from cluster,Another was Quoram was lost as no witness disk was found.
Also It did not show my cluster under FCM on Node2.I tried to add node Node2 but error saying Node2 is already in a cluster.
So I want to know how to manage windows cluster properly and manage it entries in active directory so that even after shutting/stopping the service/destroying cluster I do not need to do all over again.
I had to recreate all VMware from start and do AD setup and SAN storage again then only windows cluster got successfully created once again....................
I had to recreate all vmware nodes with FC sevice reinstalled and also recreate AD DS and DNS.
