Oracle10G RAC install  on Solaris 10

Please suggest some good and simple install document for Oracle 10G RAC on Solaris 10 Sparc?

In my opinion I would not use physical shared storage at all.
Get VMWare Server, a suitable OS and a big hard disk and one PC with lots of RAM.
Use this to create your RAC environment. It works perfectly and is much easier than using multiple devices which require multiple network cards and suitable storage.
I have a Dual Core PC running XP with 2GB RAM. You can get RAC working with 2 VM's each allocated 512MB which will do for learning purposes. This also has an advantage I can take it with me when I am away from home.

  • User equivalence check failure in oracle10g RAC installation on solaris

    Hi,
    i am trying to install oracle clusterware on solaris10.
    when i executed clusture varification utility , user equivalence test is failed.
    each node have same username,userid,group id
    and i configured SSH also using
    exec /user/bin/ssh-agent
    /usr/bin/ssh-add after generation of rsa and dsa keys and putting this to authorization file.
    it is not asking password for ssh and scp after executing this command but again user equivalence check failed
    but after logging of and do login again to oracle user its not working. then again i have to set ssh that is
    exec /user/bin/ssh-agent
    /usr/bin/ssh-add
    wat else i have to check for this?
    can sombody help me to solve this

    $ eval 'ssh-agent'
    SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-GJAo3653/agent.3653; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
    SSH_AGENT_PID=3654; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
    echo Agent pid 3654;
    $ /usr/bin/ssh-add
    Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.What shell are you using?
    Back to user equivalence:
    1. Ensure that /etc/motd is empty (You can't get some text after login)
    2. Ensure that /etc/issue is empty or "Banner /etc/issue" is not set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    3. Ensure that you have stored short hostnames and also FQDN in your known_hosts file
    You shouldn't get this type of message: The authenticity of host 'computername (IP)' can't be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is ...
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?If you got this message executes commands on both of nodes (as user oracle) as in example:
    $ ssh oracle@pc000905
    $ ssh [email protected]
    $ ssh oracle@pc026376
    $ ssh [email protected] Ensure that your RSH is setup correctly.
    (OR) In case using of RSH is prohibited in your company (my case) you can use following fake:
    a. rename existing rsh binaries (see example below)
    b. create symlinks to equivalent ssh utilities (see example below)
    c. create symlinks for ssh and rsh (faked rsh) under /usr/local/bin directory
    Note: these actions need to be done by root user.
    cd /usr/bin
    mv rsh rsh_old
    mv rcp rcp_old
    ln -s /usr/bin/ssh rsh
    ln -s /usr/bin/scp rcp
    cd /usr/local/bin
    ln -s /usr/bin/ssh ssh
    ln -s /usr/bin/ssh rsh
    ln -s /usr/bin/scp scp
    ln -s /usr/bin/scp rcp

  • Solaris cluster, Oracle10g RAC

    I just want to understand, which one is more favorable, most popular combination used by sun customers for Oracle10g RAC.
    1) Solaris cluster + VERITAS Storage Foundation
    2) Solaris cluster + QFS

    Please refer to http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2574/fmnyo?a=view for the supported options for Oracle RAC data storage. This is important because if you stray outside these you will not be on a jointly Sun/Oracle supported configuration.
    Therefore, if you want to put Oracle RAC (tablespace) data files on a cluster file system, you must use shared QFS as that is the only supported option open to you. Furthermore, you can only run sQFS on top of SVM/Oban or h/w RAID - we do not support running it on VxVM/CVM.

  • Need 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using containers and NFS

    I'm looking for an 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using 2-3 containers. I need to have the NFS server reside in the global zone or on a 3rd container visable to the two rac containers.
    Please share me installation guide!
    Thank you!
    PS - I currently have run into an install issue -
    Can't change ownership on /oracle/products/11.2.0/ocr/: not owner at /oracle/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 5014.
    I suspect the NFS share params from the NFS server in the global zone are not 100% correct to the two rac zones/containers.

    Have you visited Oracle Support Services website (formerly metalink) to determine if your desired configuration is supported?
    Last time I looked it was not.
    That said Oracle database installation guides are fully documented online.

  • Oracle10g RAC with Oracle clusterware

    Hi,
    We are installing Oracle10g RAC with Oracle clusterware with ASM on Solaris 10. Does anybody have a installation/configuration manual for this combination.
    Thanks,
    Murtuja

    Sun would not recommend using Oracle 10g RAC without Sun Cluster. Setup for that configuration would be found in the Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle 10g RAC and the Oracle installation manuals.
    The installation of Oracle Clusterware alone would be documented in Oracle's manuals. If you have any problems with that, you are better off asking Oracle.

  • Recommendations - Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 Containers Logical/Local..

    Dear Oracle Experts et all
    I have a couple of questions for Oracle 10g RAC implementation on Solaris and seek your advice. we are attempting to implement oracle 10g RAC on Solaris OS and SPARC Platform.
    1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? I was assuming that Oracle will always link it self with OS binaries and Libraries while S/W installation and hence will need an OS image/Root Disk over which it could go. However, in containers, I assume we have a single solaris installation and configuration which will thus be shared to the containers which will be further configured in it. In such situations how does Oracle instalation proceed? Do I need to look at a scenario where, the global Container/Zone will have Oracle install and this image be shared across to zones/containers accordingly? If it is so, what all filesystems from OS will need to be shared across to these zones/containers?
    Additionally, even if this approach is supported, is it a recommended approach? I am unsure about the stability and functionality of Oracle in such cases and am not able to completly conceptualize. However, I assume there could be certain items which needs to be approprietly taken care off. It will help if you could share observations from your experiences.
    2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?
    Our requirement is to have the above mentioned multiple Oracle installations spread across two (2) seperate H/W platforms,say Node A and Node B, and configure our Cluster Solution to behave as active-passive across Node A and Node B. In other words, I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. I will configure one database each for each of these Oracle S/W installation (with an idea not to have Clusterware between clustering solution VRTS/SunCluster and Oracle installation, if it works). Now I will run 3 databases thus on each of these nodes. If any downtime happens on any one of the nodes, say Node A, I will fail all oracle databases and S/W accordingly to the alternate available node, Node B in this case, using native clustering solution and I will want the database to behave as it was behaving earlier, on Node A. I am not sure though if I will be able to bring the database up on Node B when resources in OS perspective are failed over.
    we want to use Oracle 10g RAC Release 2 EE on Solaris 10 OS latest/one before the latest release.
    Please share your thoughts.
    Regards!

    1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? My understanding is that RAC in a Zone (Container) is not supported by Oracle, and will not work anyway. Regardless of installation, RAC needs to do cluster level stuff about the cluster configuration, changing network addresses dynamically, and sending guaranteed messages over the cluster interconnect. None of this stuff can be done in a Local Zone in Solaris, because Local Zones have fewer permissions that the Global Zone. This is part of the design of Solaris Zones, and nothing to do with how Oracle RAC itself works on them.
    This is all down to the security model of Zones, and Local Zones lack the ability to do certain things, to stop them reconfiguring themselves and impacting other Zones. Hence RAC cannot do dynamic cluster reconfiguration in a Local Zone, such as changing virtual network addresses when a node fails.
    My understanding is that RAC just cannot work in a Local Zone. This was certainly true 5 years ago (mid 2005), and was a result of the inherent design and implementation of Zones in Solaris. Things may have changed, so check the Solaris documentation, and check if Oracle RAC is supported in Local Zones. However, as I said, this limitation was inherent in the design of Zones, so I do not see how Sun could possibly have changed it so that RAC would work in a Local Zone.
    To me, your only option is the Global Zone. Which pretty much destroys the argument for having Zones on a Solaris system, unless you can host other non-Oracle application on the other Zones.
    2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?I am not sure the term 'native' is correct. All 'Cluster' software is low level, and has components that run within the operating system. Whether this is Sun Cluster, Veritas Cluster Server, or Oracle Clusterware. They are all as 'native' to Solaris as each other. They all perform the same function for Oracle RAC around Cluster management - which nodes are members of the cluster, heartbeats between nodes, reliable fast message delivery, etc.
    You only need one piece of Cluster software. So pick one and use it. If you use the Sun or Veritas cluster products, then you do not need the Oracle Clusterware software. But I would use it, because it is free (included with RAC), is from Oracle themselves and so guaranteed to work, is fully supported, and is one less third party product to deal with. Having an all Oracle software stack makes things simpler and more reliable, as far as I am concerned. You can be sure that Oracle will have fully tested RAC on their own Clusterware, and be able to replicate any issues in their own support environments.
    Officially the Sun and Veritas products will work and are supported. But when you get a problem with your Cluster environment, who are you going to call? You really want to avoid "finger pointing" when you have a problem, with each vendor blaming the cause of the problem on another vendor. Using an all Oracle stack is simpler, and ensures Oracle will "own" all your support problems.
    Also future upgrades between versions will be simpler, as Oracle will release all their software together, and have tested it together. When using third party Cluster software, you have to wait for all vendors to release new versions of their own software, and then wait again while it is tested against all the different third party software that runs on it. I have heard of customers stuck on old versions of certain cluster products, who cannot upgrade because there are no compatible combinations in the support matrices between the cluster product and Oracle database versions.
    I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. As I said before, these 3 Oracle installations will actually all be on the same Global Zone, because RAC will not go into Local Zones.

  • Oracle10g RAC Cluster Interconnect issues

    Hello Everybody,
    Just a brief overview as to what i am currently doing. I have installed Oracle10g RAC database on a cluster of two Windows 2000 AS nodes.These two nodes are accessing an external SCSI hard disk.I have used Oracle cluster file system.
    Currently i am facing some performance issues when it comes to balancing workload on both the nodes.(Single instance database load is faster than a parallel load using two database instances).
    I feel the performance issues could be due to IPC using public Ethernet IP instead of private interconnect.
    (During a parallel load large amount of packets of data are sent over the Public IP and not Private interconnect).
    How can i be sure that the Private interconnect is used for transferring cluster traffic and not the Public IP? (Oracle mentions that for a Oracle10g RAC database, private IP should be used for heart beat as well as transferring cluster traffic).
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Salil

    At least crossover interconnect is completely unsupported.

  • Oracle 9i RAC on Sun Solaris 5.10/64 bit version.Is that supported ?

    I want to install Oracle 9i RAC on Sun Solaris 10 64 bit. Is that officially supported ?
    I dont this combination on metalink certify matrix

    I know we dont get support from oracle.But, you initially mentioned that you couldn't find the required information on metalink, therefore I provided that information, which I thought you were looking for.
    Is anybody still using this combination ? Does it work ? yes, we are using it and it has been working fine for over 4 years...of course we patched it to the latest - 9.2.0.8 to be on the supported release/patch.

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me,
    Is there any problem for Oracle10g RAC running on Sun Solaris 10 using the latest SUN Containers feature?
    regards,
    Dilip.

    Have a look at the Certify & Availability in Metalink for your Platform. Also the RAC Readme and documentation for Sun Solaris 10 will indicate if there are any known problems.
    If in doubt and you are having any specific problems, I would suggest you open a TAR with Oracle Support.
