Oralce 10g RAC listener

I installed Oracle 10g R2 RAC on RHEL4(U4), the RAC nodes work fine, but after I restart all nodes, I found the listener was listening on 0.0.0.0(1521), instead of the vip and local IP.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1521 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17043/tnslsnr
Before reboot, it is like: (2.147 is the vip)
tcp 0 0 172.16.2.145:1521 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 18449/tnslsnr
tcp 0 0 172.16.2.147:1521 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 18449/tnslsnr
My listener parameter file is like:
LISTENER_RH4RAC01 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rh4rac01-vip.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.2.145)(PORT = 1521))
I tried restarting the listener by "lsnrctl stop" and "lsnrctl start", but nothing changed on the listner status.
What is the problem? I don't like it listening on 0.0.0.0. How can I fix?

Recently i have the same problem on RAC installed on 2 box Linux Redhat 4, when i start the listener on second node recived the error en resource, the vip address of second node it was loaded on first node, you should check the correct address on all nodes.
You must do the following steps:
1.- Stop all databases(instances) on all nodes.
srvctl stop instace -d database-name -i instance-name
2.- Stop if you use ASM instances
srvctl stop asm -n node-name
3.- Stop clusters services(as user root)
csrctl stop
4.- Check IP addess all nodes and configure with correct values
ifconfig -a
5.- Start Clusters services on all nodes.
csrctl start
wait five minutes for start background process
6.- Start listeners on all nodes
srvctl start listener -n node-name
7.- Start ASM instances on all nodes
srvctl start asm -n node-name
8.- Start database instances on all nodes.
srvctl start database -d database-name -i instance name.
Have a good day.

10g RAC's listener cannot startup when the node's back from down

My 10g RAC node1 down and I reboot it ,
then everything's back except the listener of node1.

Human intervention required to resume its availability.
CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.node1.LISTENER_NODE1.lsnr'.
What does that mean?
and what should I do?
Thank a lot.

You should first force stop it by doing:
crs_stop -f ora.node1.LISTENER_NODE1.lsnr
and then do :
crs_start ora.node1.LISTENER_NODE1.lsnr
either the listener will start or it will show you the error which will point to the real cause.

Oracle RAC 10g - Remote Listener

Hi DBAs,
In Oracle 10g RAC env, I see the remote listerner as well as local listerner. Can anyone throw some light what is the use of Remote Listener. Can we use only Local Listener.
Thanks
-Samar-

If you configured the dedicated server mode using the DBCA Connection Mode tab on the Initialization Parameters page, then DBCA automatically configures the LOCAL_LISTENER parameter when the listener uses a nondefault address port.
If you configured the dedicated server mode by setting the REMOTE_LISTENER initialization parameter, then you must also configure the instance-specific LOCAL_LISTENER initialization parameter.
For example, to configure the LOCAL_LISTENER parameter, add the following entry to the initialization parameter file, where listener_sid is resolved to a listener address through either a tnsnames.ora file or through the Oracle Names Server:
sid.local_listener=listener_sid
The following entry should be in your tnsnames.ora file:
listener_sid=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=node1-vip)(port=1522))

Hi all,
I have a question about Oracle RAC and network interface.
We're using Oracle 10gR2 RAC with two nodes on Linux Red Hat.
Let's assume that the public network interface goes down.
I would like to know what happens with existing connections
on node with network interface with problems.
Are connections frozen, actives?
Can the users continue to use theses existing connections using the another node of RAC?If the interface is down? what do you think? All connections to this node will die. How does your application handle fail-over, does it attempt to reconnect or just have a complete application failure?
You should spend some time in a test lab where you can test this stuff for yourself. Read the documentation and there are tons of sites out there that purport to have all of your RAC/TAF/FAN/FAF questions. - I would read and trust the documentation first.
>
I know that the listener goes down and any other connections is allowed.
Thank you very much!!!!

R12 with 2 node 10g RAC is not updating with autoconfig correctly.

Hi,
we are on R12.0.6 with 2 node 10g RAC. Our collegue did the RAC setup, I was not there at that moment
steps he followed is
1. Installed 10g CRS,ASM 10.2.0.3 software and bring up the two nodes.
2. Configured the RAC DB to Oracle Appplication and registered the Listener with CRS.

Vasu,
The issue is, in our tnsnames.ora in both the nodes.What is the issue?
I believe the following documents should be helpful in configuring your tnsnames.ora (and other files) with RAC implemented.
Note: 388577.1 - Using Oracle 10g Release 2 Real Application Clusters and Automatic Storage Management with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12

Error while deleting instance in 10g RAC

Hi,
I am trying to delete an instance in node 3 using DBCA. I am in node 2 and when I give username and password (Instance Management --> Delete Instance) i get the following error
"SID given in connect descriptor could not be resolved.
Connection to the database failed. Please make sure that service "xxxxxx" is registered with the listener. Username Sys has SYSDBA privleges, password is correct and then try again."
The local_listener parameter is set to the listener name.
Please provide suggestions...Its urgent.

Hello,
I think you should refer to this Doc ID: 269320.1 : Removing a Node from a 10g RAC Cluster ; this might be helpful to you. You can also try srvctl command to remove instance from the RAC and follow the instructions.
Make sure you take backup of OCR before removing the node /instances.
Can you connect from node2 to node 2 using explicit connection string, how is your tnsnames.ora configured? If not able to connect correct that issue and try again
sqlplus username/password@NODE3_INSTANCE;

Asm, instance and service failing to start 10g rac redhat el5

hi,
i have been following a how to guide from oracle's website about implementing a 10g rac system using el5 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.html), by the end of the installation and setup I had both the nodes up and running and all services were up and running.

Oracle Clusterware is configured to start the VIP, listener, instance, ASM, database services and other resources during system boot. Starting with 10.1.0.4, it is possible to modify some resources to have their profile parameter AUTO_START set to the value 2. This means that after node reboot, or when Oracle Clusterware is started, resources with AUTO_START=2 will need to be started manually via srvctl. Please work with Oracle Support if you need to modify this attribute.

Regarding Services in Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
We are having Oracle 10g RAC (10.2) on Linux machines. We don't have any services configured failover. This can be visible from srvctl config database -d, as nothing related services information is displayed.
I even checked failover_type and Failover_method from GV$session and for all it's showing None. We have only default database service (same as database name).
My question is:
Can I modify/configure this default service as failover/loadbalance enabled using srvctl? If so, please let me know.
PS: I can't provide any output here as our client network doesn't permit copying.
Regads,
Kumar

Hi,
THank you for your inputs. Below is the configurations settings of my environment.
Client Side TNS Entry:

10g RAC startup process

Can sombody tell me how the RAC instance will start. I know like CSS is the first process to start and then what happens how everything comes up.
Thanks

ThanksStopping the Oracle RAC 10g Environment
The first step is to stop the Oracle instance. When the instance (and related services) is down, then bring down the ASM instance. Finally, shut down the node applications (Virtual IP, GSD, TNS Listener, and ONS).
$ export ORACLE_SID=orcl1
$ emctl stop dbconsole
$ srvctl stop instance -d orcl -i orcl1
$ srvctl stop asm -n linux1
$ srvctl stop nodeapps -n linux1

The first step is to start the node applications (Virtual IP, GSD, TNS Listener, and ONS). When the node applications are successfully started, then bring up the ASM instance. Finally, bring up the Oracle instance (and related services) and the Enterprise Manager Database console.

$ srvctl start instance -d orcl -i orcl1

Start/stop all the instances and their enabled services. I have included this step just for fun as a way to bring down all instances!
$ srvctl start database -d orcl
$ srvctl stop database -d orcl

answered by ssolbach
Just a minor comment on the stop nodeapps.
While it is fine to stop the nodeapps on the server, the drawback to this is, that the VIP will not failover if you stop the nodeapps, but will be stopped.
Hence if you only shutdown one server, then you are causing clients to fail to connect to the VIP and having to wait for the TCP/Timeout.
So if you are not going to shut down all the server, but just want to shutdown one node, you should failover the VIP the the other node.
See: Note 749160.1 Vip Does Not Failover When Nodeapps Stopped
So it is sometimes better instead of stopping the nodeapps, to simply shutdown the cluster with crsctl stop crs (which will failover the VIP).

How to start Oracle 10g RAC database and clusterware?

I have steps to stop the 10g RAC Database and clusterware but not sure about starting it.
I have heard executing
$crsctl stop crs --as root
on each node
will start the database,asm,nodeapps .Is that true?
or we have to do that step by step like we do in stopping the clusterware and database below
1.Stop the agent:
cd to $AGENT_HOME/corpng04.amhc.amhealthways.net/bin, then run: ./emctl stop agent
2.Stop the full database
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop database -d db_name
3.Stop the ASM Instances on node1,node2
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop asm -n node -- I guess you can't give multiple nodes in one command with comma,you need to give this multiple times with diff node name
4.Stop the NodeApps :vip,listener,oms and gsd
$ oracle_home/bin/srvctl stop nodeapps -n node -- I guess you can't give multiple nodes in one command with comma,you need to give this multiple times with diff node name
5.Stop the CRS cluster processes :those bloody 3 evmd,ocssd,crsd
$su - root
$CRS_home/bin/crsctl stop crs

Paul R @ NL wrote:
before is shutting down crs i tend to stop the instances and services via srvctl then stop crs via crsctl
just the way i do it. not saying it's the right way but it is the one i am comfortable with.Good -) If we stop CRS, but forgot shutdown oracle instances ... we'll see shutdown abort in alert log file(that mean instances are shutdowned abort).
We should shutdown instance before stop CRS anyway.

Seeking a solid reccomendation concerning 10g RAC implementation.

I need a solid recommendation regarding what hardware I should use for my planned Oracle 10g RAC environment.
Currently, I am looking for both node and SAN recommendations.
I also created a list of 11 questions that I need to have answered.
Here is how this will be configured:
3 Node Oracle 10g RAC
Each Node will consist of:
32Gb of RAM (minimum)
Windows 2003 64-bit Enterprise (corporate standard, but I can go with Windows 2008 if I have a valid justification)
74Gb RAID 1 (minimum)
Dual 10Gb Ethernet NICs
The SAN will consist of:
750Gb-3Tb dedicated to Oracle
10Gb Ethernet NICs
Here are some of my general questions:
1.) Are there any benchmarks or case studies that you are aware of that might help in the decision process regarding hardware?
2.) Where should my backups reside (SAN or elsewhere)?
3.) What margin should be added for SAN provisioning and waste (even if thin provisioning is implemented)?
4.) My CIO has decided to direct me to go with 10GbE copper instead of fiber channel, what unplanned hiccups can I expect?
5.) What are the caveats of running dual redundant SAN systems?
6.) We are currently using DELL hardware for all other systems, however I do have the freedom to change the vendor for this particular project if I can state a valid business justification. Any other vendors out there that make a better SAN or Node solution than Dell/EMC?
7.) How much local storage do I need on each node?
8.) Can I utilize 1 node to run ETL during production hours without drastically affecting database performance?
9.) Regarding the maintenance of this setup, are their any particular classes or training you would recommend? I am a seasoned Oracle DBA, but could use any specific training on the specifics of RAC and/or general performance.
10.) Are there specific advantages in Oracle 11g RAC vs. 10g that would be worth the cost of upgrading our 1000+ 10g user licenses?
11.) Are there any studies on the performance advantages/disadvantages of running Oracle 10g on Windows vs. Solaris (or any Unix)?
I will consider all input of high value, so please let me know what you would recommend.
Thank you for your time.

please find answers that i know for some questions.
1.) Are there any benchmarks or case studies that you are aware of that might help in the decision process regarding hardware?
2.) Where should my backups reside (SAN or elsewhere)?
=> what is the backup method you will be using? certainly recommend RMAN (in addition to OS backups that you are planning to use) for block recovery, should there a block corruption.
i would keep some copies on the SAN local and mirror to DR site too.
3.) What margin should be added for SAN provisioning and waste (even if thin provisioning is implemented)?
=> do not suggest thin provisioning for production.
how big the volumes are going to be? reason for asking the Q is, if the volumes are going to be in TB, percentages can be lower. please plan for 2 years atleast.
4.) My CIO has decided to direct me to go with 10GbE copper instead of fiber channel, what unplanned hiccups can I expect?
5.) What are the caveats of running dual redundant SAN systems?
6.) We are currently using DELL hardware for all other systems, however I do have the freedom to change the vendor for this particular project if I can state a valid business justification. Any other vendors out there that make a better SAN or Node solution than Dell/EMC?
7.) How much local storage do I need on each node?
=> have beetween 75GB to 100GB. hope you are going to have only ORACLE RDBMS and CRS software in here.
please make sure that you rotate your listener logs and alert logs and regular removal of old .trc files older than certain number of days old.
8.) Can I utilize 1 node to run ETL during production hours without drastically affecting database performance?
=> node usage will help from CPU standpoint only. what about the disk writes it is going to perform to the data files?
9.) Regarding the maintenance of this setup, are their any particular classes or training you would recommend? I am a seasoned Oracle DBA, but could use any specific training on the specifics of RAC and/or general performance.
=> attend a 5 day course from Oracle. install RAC on own and play with it.
10.) Are there specific advantages in Oracle 11g RAC vs. 10g that would be worth the cost of upgrading our 1000+ 10g user licenses?
=> did not compare, though installed 11g.
11.) Are there any studies on the performance advantages/disadvantages of running Oracle 10g on Windows vs. Solaris (or any Unix)?
=> running on windows? please do not. used on linux a lot. pretty stable and solid. recommend to go with 10.2.0.4 or higher.
hope the above will help.

Oracle database 10g RAC and ASm installation

Hi all,
I want to ask to everybody something about Oracle 10g RAC and ASm configuration. We plan to migrate to Oracle 10g from 9i, and we will begin configuring oracle but we have to decide which configuration are the best.
Our materials are bellow:
Hardware: RP 3440 (HP)
OS : HPUX 11i Ver 1
Storage: EVA 4000 (eva disk group)
The problem is:
Our supplier recommand us to use HP serviguard + HP serviceguard extension for RAC+ RAc and Raw device as configuration.
But we want to use Oracekl Clusterware + RAC + ASM
My question is if anybody know what is the best configuration, we want to use ASm.
Can we use HP serviguard and ASM.
Some documentations or link explain oracle RAC and ASM configuration will be appreciate.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

AIX OS patch intsalltion on Oracle 10G RAC

My AIX admin is going to install AIX OS ptach on oracle 10g RAC ( with ASM) ( for AIX bug fixiting)
It is two node cluster.
I would like to know what are the steps DBA to consider before applying the OS patch
Please post any link or dcoument
In single database instance , I know the steps
1. backup the database
2. shutdowm database and listener
3. shutdown ASM
apply oS patch
after OS patch
start ASM

10g RAC /ASM

Currently we have 9.2.0.8 DB running on Solaris 9.
We're planning to move to 10g, RAC and ASM environment.
Could you refer me to any document (preferably detailed) that covers this case.
Thanks

I have faced the same problem when i have change the listener port from 1521 to 1526. But the problem disappeared after a clean reboot of both nodes.
First i have stopped all services on both nodes and then rebooted node1, and waited until the node1 is up with all services and the rebooted node2.
I don't know what was the problem actually but got resolved.

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.
