Oracle11g CRS with 10g rac db

Hi
can I use oracle11g CRS along with 11g/10g RAC databases together? Are they compatible.
Thanks
SS

Absolutely. As far as you have the CRS at the highest version, you can have Oracle RAC databases with different versions (lower than CRS Version).

Load Balancing with 10g RAC

Hi,
I have one query regarding balancing load with RAC.
We have some batch processes executed from shell script in Oracle RAC environment where a separate node is used for failover only. There are some issues related with performance. We are looking for a solution to utilize 'idle' node used for failover to resolve this issue.
I want to know whether the below mentioned scenario is possible to achieve with 10gRel2 RAC.
A batch process is running and it is utilizing all resources (CPU) of instance 1, then it is possible by any means that this process be split and distributed to idle instance 2 on another node?
Looking for expert advice.
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
I;ve done lots of RAC implementations, and it;s critical to set-up the primary node accordig to the "type" of table access. For example, cistomer queries on node 1, order queries on node 2, etc. Minimizing pinging is very important!
Staring in Oracle 10g release 2, Oracle JDBC and ODP.NET provide connection pool load balancing facilities through integration with the new “load balancing advisory” tool. This replaces the more-cumbersome listener-based load balancing technique.
I have more notes here:

EBS 11i with 10g RAC - rapid clone

Hi,
I have installed Oracle EBS 11i (11.5.10) with Oracle 10g RAC (two node) on Linux server.
I am using ASM for 10g RAC.
Now I want to rapid clone the EBS to devp server having two node RAC.
Will you pls give me detail steps to perform this cloning?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
DR

Take a look Doc ID: 230672.1 on Metalink Section 6 talks about Cloning a RAC system
If you're trying to search for anything on EBS look for Applications 11i, because most docs refer to it as Applications 11i more often then EBS.

CRS with out RAC

Hello,
We are using CRS in our company to manage automatic fail over of single instance databases as suggested by one of our consulting companies.
Since our applications can not benefit from RAC we decided we will use single instance 10G database running on RH Linux controlled by Oracle CRS.
We would like to know if this kind of setup is commonly used or not.
Please let me know your comments/advise/suggestions.
Thanks,
Murali

Hi,
If you are going to use failover then single instance failover will not work, right?
If you are planning to use single instance 10g db then why you want it to be controlled by CRS? If you are using CRS to start up automatically that anyway will be done by init.cssd process if you are using ASM in single instance environment.
So please tell what are your main goals to use CRS in single instance environment?
You can mail me at [email protected]
Thanks,

MSA 1000 HP Storage with 10g RAC

Hi All,
We are planning to install Oracle 10g R2 2 node RAC using 2 DL580 servers as 2 nodes and HP Storageworks MSA1000 as the shared storage for ASM. The OS is RHEL 4 Update 4. Are there any packages need to installed or steps to be followed for MSA 1000 on linux to use as a shared storage in RAC?
Thanks,
Praveen

Hi, Thanks for the response...
We are supposed to install it in one our client place, And client has Fibre channels to connect DL580 servers to HP Storageworks MSA 1000 shared stoarge. As per the link which you have given, in that it is mentioned that iscsi is an alternative to Fibre channel. and also, it is mentioned that, there are some packages installed which are related to FireWire in order to support dual logins from both nodes. my doubt is..are there any packages to be installed in-order to use MSA 1000 as shared storage with Fibre channels?
Thanks,
Praveen

SqlDev3.0 prod - Conn randomly hangs during opening, mainly with 11g RAC

Hi, i have been having this issue since i moved to 3.0 PROD version from EA version.
Now and then, same connection hangs during opening of connection, mainly with 11gR2 RAC databases. Sometimes it works with no changes. I don't see this problem with 10g RAC or non-RAC connection. Connection does not even make it to listener log file, so it looks like java thread gets into some hitch locally.
I wonder if somebody has found solution for this.
btw, with EA, i did not have problem with same connection. so far, i have been killing the sqldeveloper thru' task manager and then open it again (sometimes couple times, before i get thru').
Thanks

i can not use auto update from tool itself as we dont have admin rights on laptops(update feature is not able to contact download center of Oracle). so we use standalone releases of SQLDeveloper. How can i download this patch and apply it? do you have link to the patch? I did some search, it was not giving me anything useful.
I am using Version 3.0.04, Build MAIN-04.34 (From Help->About).

10g RAC Storage knowledge for I/O tuning

Gurus,
With 10g RAC lot of DBA's require more and more knowledge of storage like LUN,LUN TUNING,IO TUNING.
Are there any books that teach information like
1.Best practice for ASM.
2.LUN configration steps and best practice.
3.I/O tuning.
I am facing lot of issues with I/O responce times in RAC with ASM environment.Most of the time the responce
time is more than 10ms but its very difficult to explain and get proper feed back from SA and Storage teams.
Any advice how to gain more knowledge and resolve IO issues.
Looking forward to get a very techinal responce from Gurus :).

Learning Oracle,
I don't think this or any other Oracle forum is a place for free consultancy, especially if you don't specify any details.
Richmond Shee and others have published a book on the Oracle Wait Interface, it is pretty indispensible.
Oracle Press has also a book on ASM out.
As this is not the place to post free abstracts of books, made by volunteers, I suggest you visit sites lke www.amazon.com or www.bn.com or whatever vendor you have access to.

Latest BNX2 driver crashes 10g RAC nodes

I have a situation with 10g RAC on SLES-9 on HP Proliant 580 servers where sqlnet load balancing with jumbo frames works fine until the latest bnx2 Broadcom drivers (1.7) are applied. There are intermittent node crashes after load is generated on the RAC system (11i E-Business Suite). The crashes are 100% repeatable using hammerora and a load balanced sqlnet entry.
HP is claiming the crashes are an Oracle problem, but the crashes go away when the older bnx2-1.6 drivers are reloaded.
Anybody else having issues with the latest Broadcom drivers with RAC?

Hi mdtaylor
It seems that oracle (at least with redhat on a DELL server) is using those drivers http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/validated-configurations/html/vc_dell6950-oel4-rhel4-md3000_1.html.
What about asking people on the suse forum http://forums.opensuse.org/ or if you have support make a service request at Suse?

10g RAC archive log current

How the "Alter system archive log current" command works with 10g RAC. Will it apply to all the rac instances or just the connected instance.

Since your login is "RAC_DBA" I think you should be able to test this and answer your own question ?

MULTIPLE USERS 10G RAC ORACLE_HOME INSTALL WITH ASM/CRS

Hi,
We need to install multiple 10g RAC databases on a two node Sun servers. Below is our configuration:
1) Sun Solaris (ver 10) with Sun Cluster 3.2
2) One ASM/CRS install (by 1 OS account)
3) Four ORACLE_HOME 10g database install (by 4 different OS user accounts)
We would like to use one ASM instance for all four databases with appropriate privileges.
OS User:           OS Group
========      =========
oraasm           dbaasm - (ASM and CRS install owner)
ora1           dbaora1 - first db owner
ora2           dbaora2 - second db owner
ora3           dbaora3 - third db owner
ora4           dbaora4 - fourth db owner
I understand that certain privileges need to be shared between ASM/CRS and DB owners. Please let me know the steps to be followed to complete this install.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Please read that: Documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10766_08/intro.htm
- You can install and operate multiple Oracle homes and different versions of Oracle cluster database software on the same computer as described in the following points:
-You can install multiple Oracle Database 10g RAC homes on the same node. The multiple homes feature enables you to install one or more releases on the same machine in multiple Oracle home directories. However, each node can have only one CRS home.
-In addition, you cannot install Oracle Database 10g RAC into an existing single-instance Oracle home. If you have an Oracle home for Oracle Database 10g, then use a different Oracle home, and one that is available across the entire cluster for your new installation. Similarly, if you have an Oracle home for an earlier Oracle cluster database software release, then you must also use a different home for the new installation.
If the OUI detects an earlier version of a database, then the OUI asks you about your upgrade preferences. You have the option to upgrade one of the previous-version databases with DBUA or to create a new database using DBCA. The information collected during this dialog is passed to DBUA or DBCA after the software is installed.
- You can use the OUI to complete some of the de-install and re-install steps for Oracle Database 10g Real Application Clusters if needed.
Note:
Do not move Oracle binaries from one Oracle home to another because this causes dynamic link failures.
. If you are using ASM with Oracle database instances from multiple database homes on the same node, then Oracle recommends that you run the ASM instance from an Oracle home that is distinct from the database homes. In addition, the ASM home should be installed on every cluster node. This prevents the accidental removal of ASM instances that are in use by databases from other homes during the de-installation of a database's Oracle home.

CRS-0210: Could not find resource while start ASM on 10G RAC

Dear All
I'm trying to install 10g RAC on Redhat 4.1. At the point at which I try to start ASM it fails with the message
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
select value from v$parameter where name='instance_type'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
This seems to be due to a failure CRS. The trace file shows:
[Thread-11] [17:14:2:907] [HAOperationImpl.runCommand:1254] CRS cmd is: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/bin/crs_stat -u ora.bfhxx-sql012.ASM1.asm

Is this a red herring or is it the reason ASM won't start? At what point should this entry have been created (ie should it already exist when ASM starts or should ASM create it)? Can I manually create the entry using crsstat.
Many thanks
Paul

It all depends on what your mapping problem was and what you did to resolve it. Here are a couple of things you could try:
-Make sure the orc.loc file on ebdb1 has the same entry as ebdb2. Also, say you are using shared raw devices for CRS: make sure your raw devices are consistent on both nodes.
If the above does not work
-Make sure the shared devices are consistent on both nodes and restore one of the OCR backups. I am sure at least one of the backups 4hrs/8hrs/1day/2day/1week some thing must be a worthwhile. If you do restore OCR from a backup make sure to run cluvfy before you start your CRS.
Always a good practise to take a backup of status quo before you restore from the backups.
It would be interesting to know what lead to your disk mapping problem in the first palce.
Good Luck!

10g RAC with linux 3 AS+ocfs

Hi:
Is anyone install 10g RAC on linux 3AS with ocfs successfully?
I am having problem with CRS installation where installer ask to run root.sh. My first node finished root.sh without any problem but not second node it give me "Failure at final check of Oracle CRS stack." error. Moreover, I found "ERROR: clssnmconnect: failed, rc = 3, node samurai (1), (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=racs01-priv1)(PORT=49895))" error in ocssd2.log file. However, I can ping privet and public ip/hostname without any problem. Any input or suggestions are welcome!

Did you ever get a responce to this?
I'm having the very same issue, which I can not find a work around.
Documents for the 10g install have been very few and far between, so any help would be the greatest!
