Oracle RAC Installation on personal computer using VMWare

Please can you tell me the steps to Install Oracle 10g RAC using VMware in my personal computer which is a dual core processor and no Hardware RAID avaialable?

Hi,
It is many steps...
Windows
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnWindows2003UsingVMware.php
Linux
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnCentos4UsingVMware.php
That is basic installation in production is different eg.
put CRS_HOME in place where root is owner of parent directory, apply patchset after every component eg. install crs and then patch crs, instal asm then patch asm ....
you have to patch crs because of UNKNOWN statuses

Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris x86 using vmware

Guys,
I am practising 10g RAC installation on my laptop, wherein I have vmware workstation and

Oracle RAC installation failover

Hi,
I have an Oracle RAC installation with 2 nodes with the data stored on a shared OCFS partition. I had a client test the connection using jdbc string for RAC failover. I tried shutting down one of the nodes on the RAC installation and the client could not connect to the oracle cluster database for the next 5 to 10mins.
I understand that the client would failover to the next available listener (On the next retry connection) if the node it is currently listening to has failed. Is there any configuration i should make to increase the failover efficiency?
Thanks for any advice.

Hi,
Server side failover is arranged by setting the remote_listener parameter.
Client side failover is set by using T(ransparent) A(pplication) F(ailover) (9i and higher)
or F(ast)C(onnection)F(ailover). Both are documented in the Net administrators manual for the version you didn't care to mention.
As far as I know, both TAF and FCF are not supported by the JDBC thin driver.

Oracle rac installation in vmware workstation?

iam very eager to learn the oracle rac, for that in my pc i created the 2 virtual machines in vmware workstation and installed redhat linux AS3.0 o.s.
i need a steps to install the oracle 9i rac in these vmware enviornment....

See my articles at http://www.dbasupport.com

Can i install RAC in my personal computer ?

I Want to install RAC Environment in my personal computer. Is it possible to do it in Windows Environment ? Is there any link which can help to show how to setup RAC Environment in a personal computer.

You can create a single-node RAC. However, you still need the infrastructure - shared disk, multiple network cards, and so on.
The easiest way to do RAC on a PC is to use some virtualization such as VMWare, based on the 'Build RAC' articles by Jeff Hunter and others. To see those articles, go to http://otn.oracle.com and click on 'Articles'

Verify Oracle RAC installation tips

Our hardware team has done setup of oracle 10g RAC for 2 node on linux RHEL 4 OS.For clusterware they have used OCFS release 2 and for RAC database storage they have used ASM .Can you please guide me how to verify that Installation of RAC has done successfully and how to create database on that.

If I understand it right, you already have CRS and ASM running and want to make sure that everything required to create a database is available. If yes, you can run the cluster verification utility as indicated below:
cluvfy stage -pre dbinst -n <node1>,<node2>
Make sure your ASM instance is up and running on all the participating nodes, before you create a rac database....I don't think cluvfy can check the validity of ASM instance.

Oracle RAC Installation: Unix nodes, Windows ASM

I have a question about configuring Oracle RAC. I have never done any RAC or ASM installation before. Might be a stupid question for some of you.
Is it possible to install Oracle RAC using following options?
2 node RAC using Sun Solaris
Shared Storage using ASM in Windows server
Any additional information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
First of all, do you have a shared storage available to both unix server or you want to use the windows server as a shared storage ?
From the documentation
Single Instance and Clustered Environments:
Each database server that has database files managed by ASM needs to be running an ASM instance. A single ASM instance can service one or more single-instance databases on a stand-alone server. Each ASM disk group can be shared among all the databases on the server. In a clustered environment, each node runs an ASM instance, and the ASM instances communicate with each other on a peer-to-peer basis.
Which means that you need to have ASM instance on every server where you have a database instance.
In case you don't have a shared storage to the unix servers, you have two options - iSCSI or NFS. You can setup the windows machine as an iscsi server and both unix machines as an iscsi clients then you will have shared storage on both unix machines. The other option is to configure the window machine as NFS server and mount the NFS share on both unix machines. Then you can deploy the data files directly at the NFS shared (not supported) or create empty files using dd and use then as device files for ASM.
For more information on ASM over NFS you can read Tim Halls article:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/UsingNFSWithASM.php

Install RAC OBS on single node using VMWare

Re: How to install Muti_node R12 using VMWARE
Mine is a little different.
I have the Test server which has OEL5 and one OAS 10g(Oracle application Server) with 10g database.
I want to install RAC OBS on this server by installing VMWare for the single node. I do not want to wipe out the OAS, reinstore OSL5 and start from a blank machine.
Can I keep what I have on the server and install RAC OBS by installing VMWare, configuring the virtual sharing disks, and install RAC OBS using ASM?

Hi,
Can I keep what I have on the server and install RAC OBS by installing VMWare, configuring the virtual sharing disks, and install RAC OBS using ASM?Yes, you can. Just make sure you have sufficient resources on this machine.

Help requested on FireWire (SBP2) on CentOS 4.5 for Oracle RAC installation

I am running 64-bit CentOS 4.5 (2.6.9-55.EL kernel) on AMD64. I can load the FireWire modules (SBP2, OHCI1394 & IEEE1394) and see the partitions created of the FireWire drive using fdisk -l. The /proc/scsi/scsi correctly shows the drive.
If I create an EXT2 or EXT3 on a partition, it's great. I can read/write on that without any problem. But when I try to perfom the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/raw/raw1 bs=8196 count=12000 or any dd on any partition on that drive, I am getting:
ieee1394: sbp2: aborting sbp2 command
scsi4: destination target 0, lun 0
command: Read (10) and then bunches of numbers
ieee1394: sbp2: hpsb_node_write_failed
ieee1394: sbp2: Bus reset in progress -- rejecting command
But the dd finishes and I can see the partitions using fdisk -l
I have the following in the /etc/modprobe.conf file (also tried without serialize_io):
options sbp2 serialize_io=1 exclusive_login=0
Eventually, this problem is stopping me from implementing CRS & Oracle RAC.
Can somebody please tell me what's going on & how I can avoid these errors?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Did you compile the source code which downloaded from Oracle official website:http://oss.oracle.com/projects/firewire/files/source/oracle-firewire-modules-1286.tar.gz ?
Please check the following modules whether it have been loaded on the box.
1,ieee1394.ko
2,ohci1394.ko
3,raw1394.ko
Use "dmesg" to check if the disk connected to the firewire interface has been detected.
Regards
Terry

Best Practice on Post Steps after 11.2.0.2.4 ORACLE RAC installation

I finished RAC 11.2.0.2 installation and patched it to 11.2.0.2.4. The database is also created.
The nodes are Linux redhat and storages are on ASM.
Is there any good article or link regarding the best practice of post steps after installation?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I also want to know what kind of monitoring scripts I can use to setup as cron jobs to monitor or detect any failure or problems?
To monitor Cluster (OS Level):
I suggest you use a powerful tool "CHM" that already comes with product Grid Infrastructure.
What do you do to configure? Nothing ... Just use.
Cluster Health Monitor (CHM) FAQ [ID 1328466.1]
See this example:
http://levipereira.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/monitoring-the-cluster-in-real-time-with-chm-cluster-health-monitor/
To monitor Database:
PERFORMANCE TUNING USING ADVISORS AND MANAGEABILITY FEATURES: AWR, ASH, and ADDM and Sql Tuning Advisor. [ID 276103.1]
The purpose of this article is to illustrate how to use the new 10g manageability features to diagnose
and resolve performance problems in the Oracle Database.
Oracle10g has powerful tools to help the DBA identify and resolve performance issues
without the hassle of analyzing complex statistical data and extensive reports.
Hope this help,

VCS installation on UCS C240 using VMWare ESXi 5.5

Hello to everybody
I have a trouble with installing Cisco UC products on UCS C240. I have VMWare ESXi 5.5. I'll write what I've done.
At first I made Virtual Disk (Raid), but I couldn't enter Netbios configuration for a long time. I pressed CTRL+H and after that I saw screen with shell>. It was my first time I worked with UCS C240 and I didn't saw same screens during UCS C220 configuration. After that I entered exit command and Netbios screen appeared. After that I installed VMWare ESXi, configured it and installed VCS ova template. Everythung worked correct.
BUT... After turning off and on the server VMWare ESXi didn't load, I looked to the console and saw the shell> screen. I think it isn't normal.
What I have to do to load my VMWare and don't see the shell> screen.
Thank you

Can you check your boot order? And make sure your HDD/RAID comes above the EFI shell?

SAP - Oracle RAC - Linux - VMware

Hi,
we would like to install SAP on a virtual environment (VMware) on Linux RedHat platform.
For the database, Oracle RAC is certified with OCFS2 (1.6) only with Oracle Linux and not RedHat Linux 5.
Can we intstall Oracle RAC database on 2 nodes with Oracle Linux and OCFS2 and other SAP components on Redhat Linux 5 ?
Are there any issues with SAP matrix compatibility ?
Thank you!
Dan

Hi Audun,
Thank you for the links.
I can see the ASM support is new (2.2.2011)
On Note 527843 from 25.01.2011 - Oracle RAC support in the SAP environment
Using raw devices and ASM (Automatic Storage Management) is not supported in the SAP environment. In the case of ASM, there is an exception regarding the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and the voting disks
and
on Note 1550133 - Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) from 2 Feb 2011 they support ASM but with restrictions:
ACFS is required for RAC installations with ASM
To use ASM now, you have to migrate your database to ASM manually
Some important functions of SAP BR*Tools like backup, restore, recovery, tablespace and datafile management are not supported at the moment
Support for tablespace and datafile management is planned for Q2/2011
Also ASM instance will introduce another layer in the system with its problems, failures and resources consumption. I see on the Oracle Metalink alot of problems related to ASM. From the marketin point of view is ok, let's oracle do everything but I think if you will keep it simple it will be better.
I didn't figure out if you can directly install Oracle 11.2.0.2, they say "Allows direct SAP system installations with Oracle 11.2"
We have a vBlock hardware with flash disks as FAST Cache so I believe with 1TB of cache IO will not be a problem.
Thank you!
Dan
