  • 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

  • RAC Installation

    hi
    i m trying to install 9i RAC on windows 2000....installation guide realy doesnt work....according to installation guide i created logical drives on my single hard disk and down loaded CLUSTER FILE SYSTEM pack from oracle website.....next step is to run CLUSTERSETUP.EXE file in preinstall_rac\clustersetup\folders but it returns me error when i click NEXT on second screen(Create Cluster) and error message is "Unable to find an oracle disk partition. Please exit from the wizard, create Oracle partitions and try again"
    can some one tell me all steps briefly??? for example what would i do firt and what afterwards etc....
    do i need to run something on all node before starting any installation??? if yes then how? and do i need to create raw unformated logical drives after performing any specific configuring other nods in RAC...kindly tell me all steps...may i have a single hard drive whos one partition is NTFS and on the same physical hard drive i can create extended and then logical p[artition?
    Best Regards

    you dont wrote about tasks of your rac installation.
    if you need oas cluster there is a next problem: you cannt use network load balancer because nlb is not comppatible with mscs.
    but i dont know about problems with database cluster.
    im used such configuration last year.
    Now i have the rac10g/db10g/ofs/mscs configuration.

  • Oracle10g RAC vs Oracle9i RAC with WebLogic

    Hello, I am planning on installing Oracle RAC on Redhat's Linux AS 3.0, while BEA's WebLogic will the application server.
    What would you choose as the back end, Oracle9i RAC or Oracle10g RAC and why ?
    Also, what release/patch-level (sp ??) of Linux A.S should be used ?
    EMC's storage disk arrays sould be used. Is anyone aware of any I/O issues between Linux AS and EMC disks ?
    Thank you for your thoughts.
    Regards,
    Tom

    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.

  • RAC installations

    Good Day.
    We are planning the RAC installations. We are allocate 3TB on HP SAN Storage to be used to setup rac environment with 2 nodes.
    Question.
    1. Do we accept one 3 TB from SAN engineers or ( Which RAID)
    2. Multiple Luns totality to 3 TB.
    3. Remember this is 11g R1 OCR and VOTING DISK cannot be managed by ASM.
    4. We intending to use ASM for Database files. Another question is the VIP address,
    we are given IP Address(Eth02)for public address and EthO3 for private. How do we step for VIP? do we request another sets of IP addresses

    Hi,
    Storage admin can provide 3TB not an issuse.
    And create VIP on top of the public ip only.
    That is For ex: 192.168.0.127 is you are Public IP
    Take 192.168.0.128 as you are VIP.
    follow the below link you can create the VIP
    http://itsecureadmin.blogspot.com/2007/02/creating-virtual-ip-addresses-on-linux.html
    And using SETUP command in linux also you can create a VIP.
    Why you are going for oracle 11gR1??Its Better to install 11gR2.Try for that.
    check the below link for installation,

    Hi All,
       Please give idea about SRM EBP 4.0 with Server 5.0 Installation steps to enable XI Integration ready. Provide high level sequnce of requirements to get an idea.
    Thank you very much in advance,

    Hi Rama,
    You talk of two aspects jointly.
    Installation is Basis activity for which you need to refer Installation Guides.
    XI integration for respective scenarios of SRM can be found in respective business scenario config guides
    Both these can be found on :

    Installing Oracle E-Business (EBS) Release 11i (version 11.5.10.2)

    http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16009.html     
    NOTE: Although this is written for SLES 9.1, I believe this will work for any Linux variant.
    Also, make sure you have installed openmotif 2.0 or higher to make sure the forms server starts and remains running

    Environment:
    Windows 2003 Server was installed as an environment on VMWare Server (The free one).
    Hardware Spec:

    DVD RW
    DECLARE
    At this point I have to say a few things:
    1.     I have not attempted installing on any other version of Windows, so if you try with another version, I may not be able to answer your questions, although I believe it should not be any different.
    2.     I would believe you can or have access to the internet and can download or find most of the resources needed.
    3.     I would assume you have installed the Windows 2003 Server with SP 1, Internet Explorer and Outlook. Also, have included an IP address, a server name with its domain extensions in the host file.
    4.     I would assume that you have created one group – dba , two users applmgr and oracle and included them in the dba and administrator groups
    5.     I would assume that you are at least familiar with the terms and usage of abbreviations in this sort of environments.
    6.     I would also assume you have reviewed and have made allowance to meet the required specification in terms of hardware (I did not attempt an installation on the USB HDD, so may not be able to help, if this applies to your situation)

         Prepare Environment
    Download and have read the following software:
    1.     Java Development Kit 1.3 (or higher version)
    http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html
    2.     Active Perl – This is needed for the staging script adautostg.pl http://www.activestate.com/store/productdetail.aspx?prdGuid=81fbce82-6bd5-49bc-a915-08d58c2648ca

    MKS Toolkit (Evaluation copy, 30 Trial or get a licence for about $500)
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
    This is necessary for certain unix-only available utilities required to implement/compile Oracle E-business Suite, such as which, make, cc, etc.
    5.     The DVDs or downloaded zipped copy of the entire Oracle E-Business Suite software for Windows 32-Bit ( I did not attempt on a 64-Bit processor, though I believe it should not be different, but see the necessary documentation if that is your situation)
    http://edelivery.oracle.com     
    6.     Jinitiator – This is required to run the forms on your system (Although a first attempt to view any of the form interfaces downloads and requests this be installed first) http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/devlic.html?url=http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/developer/htdocs/jinit.htm     
    NOTE:
    •     DO NOT Install into the default directories and do not allow spaces in file directories/path when installing the software, somehow experience has shown that the Oracle EBS does not handle spaces in file directories well, and results in untold hardship if ignored. E.g Default installation folder for an software installation may suggest C:\Program Files\ JDK 1.5, MAKE SURE you alter this to something like C:\JDK15. DO THIS FOR ALL SOFTWARE INSTALLED
    •     After each software installation, please reboot the system before installing the next piece.
    •     Make sure that all the paths to the bin folders for all software installed is included in the environment variables, and verify by typing path in the command prompt to display all paths listed
    •     If using CYGWIN (like I did, as I could not afford a software expiring on me nor could afford $500 for a test). You may choose all the modules available, but you do not need all (it will be an overkill to have the entire unix utilities and libraries on your windows box, unless you plan on learning unix commands or into heavy development requiring a unix environment, without wanting a unix machine) MAKE SURE you choose all the library options, all the development options and that should be OK. Then confirm after the installation by typing which, cc (or gcc), make(gnumake), ls, gawk(awk), grep (egrep) (IMPORTANT:Where one of the other in brackets exists, copy and rename the copy as the alternative). As a double sure – copy all of these into C:\Bin directory.
    •     If the Oracle EBS is downloaded, unzip all the files into the folder and ignore any suggestions that it will over-write other files such as the component.label files
    Installation Proper
    •     Run adautostg.pl – which you will find in the StartCD i.e the first file downloaded and unzipped. This will attempt to rearrange the installation files in the order in which the installation wizard – rapidwiz prefers and identifies the folders. (Saves you hand-holding the wizard by having to interact during the installation, pointing it to the relevant folders/files if not run) to create the staging area.
    •     Run Rapidwiz – either by double clicking the rapidwiz.cmd in the startcd folder (this would be the one in the staging area) or from the command prompt
    •     As required, point rapidwiz, to the bin folder of cygwin e.g C:\cygwin\bin (if this is as installed) in the place where it requires the MKS Toolkit
    •     Pre-installation Checks – rapidwiz intelligently tests all the necessary software and requirements before installation starts. A corresponding message to each parameter suggests the opinion of the rapidwiz whilst a green tick indicates the parameter is sufficient, other indicators may need reviewing. Please make sure you resolve each issue before progressing with the installation. This may lead to a waste of time if not resolved.
    •     Choose a single-node installation
    (if just testing or practicing, you may also choose a multi-node if this is what you want.)
    •     If all the modules are not needed (I installed all), you may have to choose which modules you require, and state where you want the modules installed.
    •     Assuming all parameters are passed and installation begins, the different stages of the installation steps can be followed by the on-screen messages or log file reviews (each logfile directory will be displayed on the screen during the installation of each context).
    •     Post Installation Checks – Rapidwiz does some checks after an installation, whether successful or not, and provides a report. When an installation is successful. It confirms and provides the url to login. The default username and password for the system administrator is usually sysadmin / sysadmin. You are encouraged to create another user immediately.
    For all who asked, depending on how far up your hardware scales in terms of specifications, the installation may take about 3 hours (at least mine did) or more.
    Login on to Oracle EBS !
    The URL required for logging on to the OAM (Oracle Application Management - For the Apps DBAs) and OEBS (Oracle E-Business Suite - essentially for the Functional Implemeters/Consultants ) - The entire gamut (They are shown as hyperlinks), should be as follows;
    http://hostname(servername.domainname.com):8000/
    where hostname is the same as specified in your host file e.g servername.domainname.com or .whatever-u-like
    and
    8000 - is the default port, but you may have chosen your own port and that should be used in such a case.
    N.B - The Forms server is often started when an attempt is made to access such an interface after login in to the OEBS. However, in my own case, it did not until I made sure openmotif 2.1 was installed on my SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.1. The windows installation started without any issues.
    If all attempts fails….
    You may have to try and try again by deleting all installation files and starting all the installation steps again. It will help if you know how to edit your registry settings to delete all reference to oracle e-business (not all reference to oracle though, as some odbc-related entries have been installed by Microsoft and require your registry settings to function)
    Alternatively, send me your box, your mailing address and a token (money of course, and I may be able to set it all up for you) – JOKING!
    CAVEAT: I will not be held responsible if anything unsavoury happens to your system in the course of you following the steps I have highlighted above either correctly or incorrectly. However, if you are successful, please sing my praises all over the forum and ask that I be rewarded by Oracle!
