Oracle RAC support NFS in AIX

May I ask a question...
My environment: SAP run on the AIX. may I use the Oracle RAC by NFS in AIX for Oracle HA ...?

Hi Dennie,
As far as I read from the development update SAP on Oracle, SAP supports NAS NSF with RAC 11.2 on all Unix platforms. Check the link http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d053aa41-75b6-2d10-95b5-9a961a5ae750?quicklink=ora&overridelayout=true
Check the statement in the note "1416773 - Oracle Direct NFS", below;
Advantages of Oracle Direct NFS :
Since NFS is a shared file system, you can also use this
implementation for Real Application Clusters (RACs). Oracle Direct NFS
recognizes if an instance is part of an RAC installation.

Oracle RAC support in CIAC

Hi,
Does CIAC support Oracle RAC clusters? I'd like to put a bit of resilience on the Oracle database backend and so would like to setup an Oracle RAC. If I did would this invalidate any support if there was an issue with connectiviity to the database.
Regards,
Mohammed Rakhada

Cisco Advanced Services have a service to install using RAC One Node, and PO supports RAC as well.
See this doc for details

DI and Oracle RAC support

Hello,
Do you know if DI 12 support Oracle configured in RAC mode?
if yes, how is it possible configure a Datastore for Oracle RAC configuration?
Thanks,
Renato

Yes, RAC is supported. Your TNSNames.ora entry wil look slightly different but from the datastore you just mention the tns alias as before.

Oracle RAC support more then one database

My company's requirement is to have multiple database, instead of multiple schemas in the same databsae. The only reason to have multiple database is to support different applications with different database versions. for eg. One application sitting in Oracle RAC with have version 10.02.0.0. and other applications will have 10.02.0.2.

You can have multiple instances on a node or multiple databases on one RAC cluster. However a more important factor that should be considered is to ensure that the servers are capable of handling the additional workload.
Also to consider is the software compatibilities between various versions of Oracle RDBMS, ASM and the Oracle Clusterware.

Oracle RAC support on SLES versions

hi all,
we have a client requirement who have Oracle DB. further details we dont know as of now. i dont have metalink access. :(
could someone please let me know whether Oracle for versions 8i 9i 10g 11g supports Suse Linux Enterprise Servers 10 and 11 on standalone and RAC installations?
without metalink access i am not able to confirm this ... sorry for the trouble .
as per oracle docs
Operating system x86
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3 (Update 3 or later)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/AS 4 (Update 1 or later)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (Service Pack 2 or later)

Oracle RAC and ASM for SAP in SLES

Hello,
We are installing our SAP ERP with Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 on SLES 11 x86_64. According note 527843 (Oracle RAC support in the SAP environment), this is supported for SAP. But as a requirement ASM Cluster File System must be setup.
But when Oracle Grid is installed, ACFS installation returns the following error:
ACFS-9459: ADVM/ACFS is not supported on this OS version: 'sles-release-11.1-1.152'
So Oracle GRID has been installed without ACFS, so we will not be able to use Oracle Clusterware for providing high availability of SAP.
As this is supposed to be a feasible combination (Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 with ASM on SLES 11 SP1, Netweaver 7.0), I'm wondering if it is a bug, a lack of documentation or something I'm missing.
Kind regards,
Fermí

Read this below Oracle Note:
ACFS not supported on certain platforms [ID 1075058.1]
oracle@node1:~/app/oracle/product/grid/log/node1> tail -1 alertesiha.log
[client(14083)]CRS-10001:ADVM/ACFS is not supported on SUSE
Then these can be ignored, since ACFS/ADVM may not be supported for your platform. As of this writing, Sun, AIX, SuSE 10 are all supported in 11.2.0.2 only. HP-UX, SuSe 11 and RH6.0, as well as Oracle UEK ((2.6.32-100*) are not yet supported in 11.2.0.2. Keep in mind that this does not prevent your Grid Infrastructure stack (Clusterware and ASM) from starting. This is just an informational message for these platforms
Extract from SAP Note:
RAC 11.2.0.2 (x86 & x86_64 only):
Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.2 + ASM/ACFS 11.2.0.2 (currently only for SLES10, RHEL5, OL 5.x (without UEK))

Oracle RAC SOlaris 10 in Containers or in LDOMs

I want to run Oracle RAC in Solaris 10 containers or in Logical Domains. Is ORacle RAC supported in Containers or LDOMs? Has anyone experinece with these Oracle RAC environments?

I didn't see your system listed in the Solaris or OpenSolaris hardware compatibility list. It may very well be that it is not supported for Solaris. Check here to see: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/search.jsp
You may also want to contact Sun and see if it is supported.

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:

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!

Does NFS support Oracle RAC with TAF ?

Hi,
Does NFS support Oracle RAC with TAF feature. ?
If yes, please point to some valid document to prove the same.
Regards
Sumit

TAF has nothing to do with the underlying storage architecture and is therefore 'supported' with your choice of asm, raw devices, cluster file system and NFS. NFS is supported on some platforms. For more details, check the certify tab in metalink. Some information can also be found here
TAF will be available on any rac installation, but not all drivers support it (jdbc-thin for example)

Hi
I need to install Oracle RAC on IBM AIX 6.1. For shared storage, we need gpfs.base as per documentation.
We are using Netapp SAN for storage.
Are there any alternatives to gpfs.base which can be used so that both nodes have access to same SAN storage ?

Hi;
Please check below note
