ORACLE RAC - Clusterware 11Gr1 -

Hi,
We are starting a fresh installation of an Oracle RAC database on:
IBM AIX 5.3
Processor Type: PowerPC_POWER7
Processor Implementation Mode: POWER 6
Processor Version: PV_6_Compat
Number Of Processors: 2
Processor Clock Speed: 3108 MHz
CPU Type: 64-bit
Kernel Type: 64-bit
We are changing the servers and installing new binaries: clusterware ,asm binary, rdbms binary. After that, database will be migrated to this server. The oracle clusterware will be on 11.1.0.7, ASM on 11.1.0.7 and RDMS on 10.2.0.4. We are installing exactly as it is in production now.
After the servers were release to the dba, configured the ocr and voting disks and the pre-reqs, during the installation we face an error on the second node, while running the root.sh. The installation went successfully, 100% and on the first node finished successfully and started the services. On the second node, while running the root.hs, it failed with the message :
--> Failure at final check of oracle CRS stack. 10
Checking the logs, we could see the following:
[    CSSD]2011-09-25 02:59:51.633 [1030] >TRACE: clssnmReadDskHeartbeat: node 1, hodev001ler, has a disk HB, but no network HB, DHB has rcfg 212382813, wrtcnt, 2978, LATS 3178240991, lastSeqNo 2978, timestamp 1316930391/924708736

All the notes seems to point to and interface/interconnect problem, but we dont have any clue on what parameter or what checks we need to perform with Unix Team. Does anybody had this issue? Any clue on what may be need to be adjusted or configured to solve this issue? Following below is the interfaces of both servers: hodb001lernew and hodb002lernew:

Regarding the Firewall point, I issued the command lsfilt but didn't return. it means it is not enabled? Im at AIX 5.3, any other command to verify this point ?
root@hodev001lernew:/ # /usr/sbin/lsfilt -a

root@hodev002lernew:/ # lsfilt -a
Can not open device /dev/ipsec4_filt.

Oracle RAC + Clusterware and another Cluster with Clusterware for SAP

Hi,
I have some questions about implementation of Oracle RAC and Clusterware with SAP
For exemple, an architecture with 4 servers ( 2 real and 2 vritual ).
I would like to know if i can do this
2 servers for the first cluster.
First cluster is with Clusterware and Oracle RAC
This is for all the SAP Oracle databases environment
I think there is no problem here.
Now, with 2 others servers il would like to make another cluster (with also clusterware ) for SAP Central services (SCS) and enque replication server (ERS)
Because all architecture is for only one SAP environment with separate services.
1 for Database (cluster 1)
1 for Central services ( cluster 2, virtual machine )
1 for Dialogue Instance (no cluster)
To be clear, the second cluster is to make HA of central services SAP (SCS and ERS )
My question 2 are :
Is it a good job to do this ? or there is anything wrong ?
Do i have to install antoher clusterware for this 2 servers or i have to make anything with the existing clusterware + oracle RAC ??
Thank you very much for you help

Hi Givre,
have you checked: Providing High Availability for SAP Resources (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clusterware/pdf/sap-availability-on-rac-twp.pdf) available on otn.oracle.com/clusterware? Not being an SAP expert myself, I still think, this paper describes the configuration - at least partially - that you are trying to set up.
Just an idea. Thanks,
Markus

Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit - blue screen error on both nodes

Hi Everyone,
I installed Oracle RAC 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit, The installation was successfull and crs_state -t shows all services in two nodes are online.
When executed a select query with 100 sessions( For performance evaluation using Transaction generator ) ,the machine got crashed and blue screen is appeared on two nodes. I restrated the machines and and starts the same evaluation ,bt the same bug is repeating.
Can anyone suggest a solution to solve this issue? Is our hardware is not sufficient ? Shall we need to perform any
specific settings in Oracle RAC setup for performance evaluations?
Is our settings for load balancing is not enough? ( We added "Load Balancing= On" on tnsnames.ora on client for load
balancing)
The following machine configuration is used for Oracle RAC setup
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
Ram :4GB.
OS : windows 2008 Server 64 Bit

Oracle Rac On Vmware

I have successfully installed Oracle Rac clusterware and database on Vmware using Oracle Red-Hat enterprise Linux -5.
I have a doubt here, that when I restart my setup the disks in Asm are not mounted automatically during service start, so I have to first manually mount my disks in ASM instance.
The thing goes smooth after re-issuing the command
./crsctl start -all
My Database instance goes up
So I have a question on How to configure the ASM instance so that the Disk mounts automatically when the service is starting up.
Thanks,
Varun

please check value of ASM_DISKGROUPS parameter in ASM pfile.
ASM_DISKGROUPS specifies a list of names of disk groups to be mounted by an Automatic Storage Management instance at instance startup or when an ALTER DISKGROUP ALL MOUNT statement is issued.

Domain migration of Oracle RAC nodes on windows 2008

Hello masters,
We are planning to migrate servers from old domain to a new domain due to company name change. That is, our DB servers named like db-node-x.old-domain.com will be migrated to db-node-x.new-domain.com. The servers are all on Windows 2008 R2 and Oracle RAC 11g2. As dba, i have no idea about what will happen to DBs. Please let me know any possible solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I am confused on something. I am trying to test Oracle 64 bit 11gR1 11.1.0.7 clusterware on windows 2008r2.
I am following Reall application cluster guide for 11g Release 1.
I downloaded Oracle 64bit 11gR1 11.1.0.7.
I couldn't get the window that has options to select

It seems it only want to install Oracle database server, any clue?
Is it seperated download now?

Edited by: user12004308 on 16-Jun-2011 12:08 PM

Hi,
Windows 2008 R2 is not yet certified for running clusterware 11.1.0.7. You would need windows 2008 to be certified
you can get the installer from here

Does oracle clusterware and oracle RAC require sun cluster

Hi,
I have to setup oracle RAC on solaris 10 SPARC. so is it necessary to install sun cluster 3.2, QFS file system on solaris
I have 2 sun sparc servers with solaris 10 installed on it and shared LUN setup(SAN disk RAID 5 partitions)
Have to have 2 node setup for RAC load balancing.
Regards
Prakash

Hi Prakash,
very interesting point:
As per oracle clusterware documents the cluster manager support is only for windows and linux.
In case of solaris SPARC will the cluster manager get configured ???
The term "Cluster Manager" refers to a "cluster manager" that Oracle used in 9i times and this one was indeed only available on Linux / Windows.
Therefore, let me, please, ask you something: Which version of Oracle RAC do you plan to use?
Because for 9i RAC, you would need Sun or Veritas Cluster on Solaris. The answers given here that Sun Cluster would not be required assume 10g RAC or higher.
Now, you might see other dependencies which can be resolved by Sun Cluster. I cannot comment on those.
For the RAW setup: having RAW disks (not raw logical volumes) will be fine without Veritas and ASM on top.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Markus

ASM Installation on Oracle 11g Clusterware (RAC) environment

Hi All,
I am trying to setup Oracle 11g Standared Edition RAC+ASM on RedHat Linux 5.0 VM ware box. As part of this RAC setup successfully completed. For this i have used raw devices and mounted using NFS.
In many of forumns i have read that ASM installtion on a cluster envioronmnet is different than non cluster environment.
I dont know how to start ASM installtion on RAC environment. Please share any documents if you have?
Thanks,
Rakesh

will the steps need to be done on two nodes of cluster or it is sufficient on first node.
"raw device" for OCR, VOTE, SPFILE_FOR ASM and ASM DISKGROUPs
before do "raw devices" you have to fdisk(make partitions) on share storages
node1:
# fdisk /dev/sdf
# ls /dev/sdf*
node2:
# ls /dev/sdf*
don't find...,so just fdisk -> l and -> w
fdisk how? http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_fdisk.htm
Example: /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices do it every nodes
#Oracle OCR File +~280M+
/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdf1
#Oracle Voting File +~280M+
/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdf2
#Oracle ASM spfile ~50M+
/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/sdf3
#Oracle ASM DISK Group1
/dev/raw/raw4 /dev/sdg1
#Oracle ASM DISK Group2
/dev/raw/raw5 /dev/sdh1
And oracle user.. can read /dev/raw/raw* You should find on every nodes
http://oraclepitstop.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/raw-devices-on-rhel-5-or-oel-5/
ls -la /dev/raw/raw*
crw-rw---- 1 root oinstall 162, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw1
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 162, 2 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw2
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 162, 3 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw3
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 163, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw4
crw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 164, 1 Jan 13 12:53 /dev/raw/raw5
do it on node1 but you have to pass phrase on every nodes Before
http://www.puddingonline.com/~dave/publications/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO/document/html/SSH-with-Keys-HOWTO-5.html
example:
node01:
$ ssh node01 hostname
node01
$ ssh node02 hostname
node02
- Install + Setup Clusterware:
OCR = /dev/raw/raw1
VOTE = /dev/raw/raw2
- Install Oracle Database for ASM Home
spfile for ASM = /dev/raw/raw3
- after ASM started... create disk groups from /dev/raw/raw4 and /dev/raw/raw5
- Install Oracle Database for RDBMS Home
- Create Database to use ASM diskgroups
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR1RACInstallationOnRHEL5UsingVMwareESXAndNFS.php
Did you followed the same procedure to set up Oracle 11g RAC+ASM on RHEL 5.0.I'd done(test 11gRAC) it on RHEL 4 + 11g + ASM(on raw device)
on production, I use ASMlib... + ASM + 10g

Where to download Oracle RAC 11g2 CRS/clusterware?

Hello experts.
I'm building a home/test Oracle RAC environment on 11g2 and I can't seem to find the CRS/Clusterware for download?
I've been able to download the CVU and verify all of the server/OS/systems configuration work that was needed upfront.
I'm running on CentOS 5.5 (RHEL 5.5), on a Sun Sunfire v20z, that has FC disk array and FC HBA's connected over fiber (LC/LC connections).
I've downloaded the Oracle 11g2 software 1&2, and also the Grid software, and the CVU software.
CVU shows all configurations passed... can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm assuming Oracle allows people to download CRS/Clusterware for non-commercial (personal education) purposes without license?
Please advise.
Thank you.

CVU shows all configurations passed... can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm assuming Oracle allows people to download CRS/Clusterware for non-commercial (personal education) purposes without license?Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM binaries are installed as a single binary called the grid infrastructure. So, If you downloaded Grid Infrastructure you already have the CRS and ASM installation.
All software downloads are free, and most come with a Developer License that allows you to use full versions of the products at no charge while developing and prototyping your applications, or for strictly self-educational purposes.

Using ZFS for Oracle RAC 11gR2 binaries

Hi,
We have following scenario,
Two Node Cluster: Oracle RAC 11Gr2 with Clusterware on Solaris 10
We want to keep Oracle & Clusterware binaries on ZFS mirror file system on each node locally and for Data files, FRA, Voting disks & OCR on shared SAN using ASM.
My question, is the above scenario certified by Oracle or can we keep Oracle binaries on ZFS...?
Will appreciate your input.
Thanks

Well my confusion started after reading this doc on oracle support:
Certification of Zeta File System (Zfs) On Solaris 10 for Oracle RDBMS [ID 403202.1]
"Oracle database 10gR2 (10.2.0.3 and higher patches), 11gR1 (11.1.0.6 and higher patches) and 11gR2 (11.2.0.1 and higher patches) are certified with Solaris 10 ZFS on Sparc 64-bit and Solaris x84-64. See Solaris ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide. This is for single instance ONLY. ZFS is currently not applicable to RAC and not Certified to use it as a shared filesystem."

Need clarification for firmware & MPIO version for Oracle RAC

Dear All,
We have two-node Oracle RAC configuration 10gR2, Windos 2033 R2, 64-Bit OS using ASM and Oracle 11gR1 clusterware on HP Blades. The SAN storage is from IBM. We want to upgrade the firmware and MPIO version as per vendor recommendation.
Is there any requirement for Oracle RAC to have specific version of firmware and MPIO? Is there any matrix available for this? Or is it like both nodes should be able to see same SAN storage (LUN) irrespective of version used?
Thanks

Please note that Oracle RAC doesnt have requirement any sepcific firm ware. If you upgrade the firmware, it should not break any existing config, so pls check with IBM.
Also if you are doing any specific firmware upgrade then IBM should provide the supported version list.
Hope this help,
Regards

Oracle Upgrade from Oracle RAC 9.2.0.6 to Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hi All,
Currently, we are running 4 node Oracle RAC environment with below mentioned configuration.
OS: Sun Solaris 5.9
Hardware: Sun E2900
Oracle Version: 9.2.0.6
Veritas Cluster Server: 4.1
We want to upgrade Oracle version to 10g, and currently analyzing the options to perform this. The current database size is 1TB appx and we want to spend minimum application shutdown time running on this database.
As part of upgrade, we also need to upgrade Veritas Cluster Server from 4.1 to 5.1 to support Oracle 10g. It would be great help,, if someone can pass some guideline to perform this task.
We are currently thinking about piecemeal approach, where we can upgrade each node individually and then put them back to cluster. There are some complexities involved, and its really high risk approach.
Thanks a lot in advance for help
Regards,
Manoj

Orcale 10g RAC requires you to install Oracle Clusterware. Oracle Supports running it along side a 3rd party clustering software. Not sure why you're so anxious to upgrade Veritas Clusterware when it will be trivial on the 10g db hosts.

Oracle RAC with ASM install failure

Hi Guy's
I've just rebuilt an Oracle RAC system, i've built this system many times and have the build documented. I usually follow the build doc to the tee and everything works fine. I have now been asked to rebuild the system to go into the production evironment. This is a two server standard RAC setup using ASM. We have a HP MSA500 shared storage setup. I've run the cluster verification tool and all the checks have come out fine. Whilst installing the clusterware i get a failed error message whilst it try's to confiure the Oracle Clusterware Configuration Assistant.
The error message i get is:
Command = C:\Windows\system 32\cmd\C Call E:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\crs\install\crssetup.config.bat
PROT-1:Failed to intialize OCR Config
STEP 1 Checking status of CRS cluster
STEP 2 Creating directories (E:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\Crs
STEP 3 Configuring OCR repository
ocr upgrade failed with (-1)
I've done this build many times and never seen this error. From what i've read on the internet it looks like it could be something up with my shared storage but i dont know what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Lee

try to apply ''dd' command against OCR & Voting disks to ensure that their headers are formatted 100% and contains no data from old installation:
dd if=/dev/zero of=YOUR_OCR_DISK bs=1024 count=10000
dd if=/dev/zero of=YOUR_VOTE_DISK bs=1024 count=10000
