Oracle RAC + HDS User Please help Migration Topic

Hi DBA/Storage Admin,
I have following issue that need your help (is a Solaris + Oracle 10g):
1. We are going to migrate data center, we going to move physical server BUT we are going to purchase new Hitachi Storage.
2. We are going to use Hitachi TrueCopy to clone all the OCR, Vote Disk and ASMDisks
In the server I have following softlink created:
/dev/rdsk/myrac/ocr -> /dev/rdsk/myolddisk1d0s0
/dev/rdsk/myrac/votedisk -> /dev/rdsk/myolddisk2d0s0
/dev/rdsk/myrac/asmdisk -> /dev/rdsk/myolddisk3d0s0
What I am going to do is to recreate the softlink to the new LUN, then change the permission to either root:oinstall and oracle:oinstall and 640 or 660 accordingly.
/dev/rdsk/myrac/ocr -> /dev/rdsk/newdisk1d0s0
/dev/rdsk/myrac/votedisk -> /dev/rdsk/newdisk2d0s0
/dev/rdsk/myrac/asmdisk -> /dev/rdsk/newdisk3d0s0
Please help me will above plan worked?
Thanks for sharing.

I cannot advise on the detail of your proposed method, but may I ask one question: are you certain that you have the best approach? If it is possible to mount the old and the new storage on the same node(s), then you can move the disk groups to the new storage by using ASM to relocate file extents, and you can also move the OCR and vote devices. All with zero downtime,

    In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

    The query is re-issued as a flashback query and the client process can continue to fetch from the cursor. This is described in the Net Services Administrators Guide, the section on Transparent Application Failover.

  • My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
    You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
    What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
    You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
    - the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
    - the value set values and  description
    Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...

    Remove your email address.  This is a public website, and you are addressing thousands of strangers.
    After doing that, tell us what your issue actually is.  This is a user-to-user technical forum.  You are not addressing Apple here.

    Your question isn't at all clear. Is this a second-hand phone which has been locked by the previous user?  In that case only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.
    You should not post serial numbers or any other personal data here; I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

    MMS is a carrier issue... contact Verizon and ensure your account is provisioned correctly.  I would think that someone would be intelligent enough to do that before buying a new device, but......
    iMessage could be an activation issue or a network issue.
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    Does iMessage work consistently on Wi-Fi?

  • Problems with Oracle XE on XP - Please help!

    Hi,
    I have oracle XE installed on my machine and it was working absolutely fine for the last year or so. Today there was an trojan intrusion which caused some issues with my windows xp OS like hiding some files, desktop etc. After everything was cleaned up and things back to normal. I am having issues with XE.
    I can start and stop XE with out any issues and When I use the run sql command line, I can connect using - connect sys/sys as sydba and I can also run a query to see all the users and see the HR user also.
    However, 1. When I connect to my hr user using connect hr/password@xe, it just hangs
    2. I tried the- go to Oracle XE admin page but it just hangs for a long time and returns page cannot be found.
    3. I can tnsping the xe instance.
    Not sure what the issue is? I am not a DBA and don't have much knowledge on this. Is a fresh install the only option? or is there any way to correct this using the sys/sys user?
    I have pasted the listenor.log and listenor.ora details below. I tried a fresh install after removing XE. but the same issue!
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Nikita

  • Oracle Rac as part of OSDB Migration

    Hello Gurus,
      We are going ahead with OSDB Migration from HP-UX to Linux. Here as HA solution, we plan to implement Oracle RAC on the target systems. Where as the current environment is non RAC.
    As part of OSDB migration we are not confident in doing it on Oracle RAC.  Documentation for Oracle RAC on SAP explains first go for single instance installation on oracle cluster filesystem and implement RAC as a high availability solution with SAP Enqueue Replication service. Then do the backup and restore process from non RAC system to RAC.
    But in our scenario we should go for EXPORT/ IMPORT process.
    Please guide us in going ahead with the right approach.
    Surendra

    This is not an antagonism, you can do a single instance installation by doing the import. Basically an "import" is a new installation with the export you've done before.

  • Oracle Express Batch Manager-Please Help me out-urgent

    Dear all,
    I have created a Relational Access Administrator project and mapped an Express Datamodel with RDBMS lookup and fact tables and created a Maintenance Procedure Using "Express Database Maintenance" from "Relational Access Administrator". After that when I tried to run that "Procedure" using "Batch Manager", it creates a Command definition file "~5848371.cmd" and nothing is showing in the "Job Monitor" tab of "Batch Manager". At the same time since it could not run the procedure, no Express database have been created to the specified path.
    Please help me out, as I am in need for this very badly. I have gone through the document "Relational Access Administrator(User Guide)" from otn.oracle.com, but nowhere such type of problem have been addressed.
    Thanking you in advance,

    The only way I can get to the device is by opening a config file that I saved when I mapped to it previously by I.P address.
    When I do that, here's what I see:

  • Do I need to install oracle 8i or 9i Please help

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to Redhat linux and Oracle. I have Redhat 9.0 installed on my machine. Now I have a doubt whether to install Oracle 9i or 8i. Some of my friends told me that Oracle 8i is very easier to configure than Oracle 9i. I think I am not fit for a tough configuration as I am a newbie. This is true? Is Oracle 9i is very difficult to configure than Oracle 8i? My aim is to get familiar with the Oracle and its all the features and to seriously play around with the good features of Oracle. So should I go for Oracle 9i? As I am a newbie, Is it nessessary to go for Oracle 9i?
    Please help me . I am waiting for your answer to get proceed with the Installation.
    Lot of Thanks in Advance.
    Waiting for your respondse.
    Bye
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    unfortunately you will have more general problems. Neither 8i nor 9i is certified for Red Hat 9. The certification matrix shows support for Red Hat 7.0 and 7.1 (9i) and for Red Hat 7.0/7.1/6.x (8i). That does not necessarily mean, it won't work at all, but Oracle doesn't give any support. In general, you should prefer 9i, you have much more options. If you perform, as a first step, a standard installation, it's not harder than an 8i installation.
    Good luck

  • Compatibility of Oracle 8.1.7(please Help)

    Hi all,
    We are currently on Oracle 8.1.7 on NT with 1gb ram.
    We are going for a server upgrade. But we are not planning to currently upgrade Oracle.
    Server:
    Dual processor XEON with 4gb ram and Windows 2000 Professional Server
    Will Oracle 8.1.7 work on Windows 2000 Professional? Or is it better to still use NT?
    Are there any patches available for Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 Professional
    Can we install 8.1.7 on a XEON Processor? Will XEON support oracle 8.1.7? or should we go for
    Itanium?
    Anybody please help.

    Now i have convinced them to go for a Oracle upgrade ie 9i Release 2.
    Well we are using forms and reports 6i on 8.1.7 Database.
    When we change to 9i Release 2 will there be any problems with forms and reports?
    Please do help as we are not planning to upgrade client. Only server is to be upgraded.
    So server Oracle 9i Release 2
    Client Oracle 8.1.7
    App Forms and Reports 6i
    Are there any things I should take into consideration beforehand.
    Will 9i Release 2 work on Win 2003 SErver
    Thanks in advance,

  • ClassNotFound Error with Oracle 10g...please help!

    Hello everyone!
    I am currently using jdk 1.4.2_10 with Oracle 10g. I tried to connect to the database, like this:
    try{
    String driverName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
    String serverName = "***.***.*.*";
    String portNumber = "****";
    String sid = "****";
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber + ":" + sid;
    String usr = "*****";
    String pwd = "*****";
    //Load the JDBC driver
    Class.forName(driverName);
    //Connect to the base
    connect = DriverManager.getConnection(url,usr,pwd);
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
    System.out.println("Error---No database driver");
    catch(SQLException s){
    System.out.println("Error---No connection to the database");
    Here is what's in my classpath, (i added the ojdbc14.jar) :
    c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;
    C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
    Can anyone please help me?
    It's really a problem, i've been searching for 2 days now.....
    thank you

    Most likely it is about
    oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    You need to include Oracle JDBC lib.
    If you are using JDeveloper then:
    In Project properties click on Libraries
    Click AddLibrary
    In the list that appears choose Oracle JDBC
