Please save me(rac on windows)

Hi
Hey guys I am into Oracle Real Application Cluster Setup on widows 2000. I am doing it for demo purpose only so I am not using high-end hardware devices like SAN box (Storage Area Network) or RAID etc. What I am using is two desktop machines with sufficiemt RAM and hard disk.
At one of my machines I have made two extended logical partiotions for setting up cluster. I have installed oracle 9i on both the machines . but when i try to install oracle cluster file system I get an error prki-2016 which states that ocfs cannot detect disk partitions.
Friends this is a kind of R&D. Please tell me is it possible to setup RAC this way on minimal hardware. I would be thankful if you help me in pulling this one off.
Please provide all your suggestions whatever comes to your mind.
Thanks

Hi,
Found an article on OTN about using linux to do it on the cheap but not sure about windows....
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10g.html
Think it needs to be some sort of external disk array but never setup rac on windows so not sure. The above article uses firewire....
If you've got access to metalink loads of articles/notes on rac on there - step by step guides and faqs etc...

Save as hangs in windows 8.1

save as hangs in windows 8.1

Hi,
Any update here?
Could you please have a share when using what application to save files, it hangs?
Did we configure any network drive? We may temporary remove the mapped network drive and then check if the save as would work.
For Windows 8 hangs/ freezes, please see if the following support KB could help here:
Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 7 hangs or freezes

The last 'An' update has bug; An error occurred. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate

After the last Edge Animate I started to get this error: An error occurred. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate. Anyone else having this issue with version 1.5.0.217.23270
I'm using Windows 7 Profession 64 bit.
24 gb ram
At the time of the error on timeline, around 21 second frame, only 4.82 gb of ram was being used and CPU was using less that 10% processing. No spikes.

Elaine,
On the webserver its running fine for being partially completed. http://dirtyhumanoids.com/publish/web/TonalpohualliAndTheEyeOfProvidence.html
It's crashing within Animate on all 3 copies.
Copy 1 was created and saved before last upgrade (no .
Copy 2 of this file was created before the update and saved a few times before and after the upgrade.
Copy 3, is just trying to figure out what went wrong with copy 2. BTW, Copy 1 is also having the same issue.
The only thing I can think of that I might have messed up on was creating a picture into a symbol much late in the project.
I wish I knew how to video record my desktop so you could analysis my Edge Animate.

Advantages/Disadvantages of installing Oracle RAC on Windows 2003 VS Linux

Hello Guys,
I am not very good with linux, have to create a Oracle RAC environment using dataabse 10g.
I just need to know the advantages/disadvantages of configuring RAC on windows and on linux operating system.
Please help me with this. Please also specify what is the best available windows and linux version to configure RAC.
Regards,
Imran

Go with th eOS you have the skills in, if you have onsite expertise in windows then it makes no sense to use Linux because some guy on the internet says its better. Windows can be a highly available server OS when is managed by professional well quallified adminstrators.
Personally I would use linux because I am more familiar with the OS than windows. I also find oracle makes more sense on a *NIX type platform but there are shops that run oracle on windows with the required high availability.

"An error occurred while opening the file dialog. Please save your presentation, exit, and restart PowerPoint."

In PowerPoint 2013 on Windows 7 - 64 bit, when
File / Save as is selected, an error message comes up stating, "An error occurred while opening the file dialog. Please save your presentation, exit, and restart PowerPoint." This is an intermittent issue and also
affects Excel 2013. I have tried repairing it, done windows update and also uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck. I have researched this issue but it relates to Office 2007 and 2010 and the resolution does not support 2013.
Has anyone come across this issue? If so how did you resolve it?
Many thanks….

Hi,
You mentioned you tried some steps but I'm not sure what they are, you may try my suggestion to resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Click Start, right-click Computer, click
Properties, and then click Advanced system settings.
On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
Locate and select the __COMPAT_LAYER variable, and then click Edit.
Set the value of the __COMPAT_LAYER variable to EnableThemes. Or, delete the __COMPAT_LAYER variable.
If the issue persists, we can troubleshoot this problem in Clean Boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with PowerPoint:

How to save the credentials in windows security when opening a report?

How to save the credentials in windows security when opening a report?
in Silverlight program, user click a link to SQL server report services link, it pops up a new IE window and ask for windows security.
Type the user name password in and check save password. reports showed and close IE. user click again, the same windows security popup dialog showed up. how to really remember the credentials?
If keep the IE open, reports shows in second tab of the same IE window for the second click, and it didn't ask for the windows security.

Hi Lascorpion,
According to your description, users need to type username and password before they can open the SSRS report when reopening IE, right? If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out.
Base on my research, this issue offten occurs on IE9 which ships with Windows 7 operating systems. In this case, to avoid this issue we can add the report URL to the trust site, for the detail information, please refer to the link below.

Rac on windows.

Is there any specific performance challenges or CRS issues or difficult troubleshooting on windows because of which very less customer are on windows

888114 wrote:

If you do not have expertise in managing Windows, will be like manage any OS for the first time.
I always say that a good DBA (Especially Grid Administrator) must be familiar with the Platform and Storage Vendor that he is administering. Our work depends on it.
To some DBAs Oracle on UNIX/Linux is more pleasant to manage, but we must not forget that Oracle RAC on Windows is certified by Oracle Corporation, for small enterprises and large enterprises no restriction.
In the My Oracle Support you can find many documents to help you in this challenge. Search for "RAC on Windows"
*How to Monitor, Detect and Analyze OS and RAC Resource Related Degradation and Failures on Windows [ID 810915.1]*
Also you can use the CHM to simplify troubleshooting.

SOS! SOS! My system is stuck by Norton Ghost! Please save me

Alright, i initiated norton ghost to image my system and everything went up in smoke!!
My computer got stuck on the : Booting from PC DOs screen and would not load ghost to proceed to the image.
i tried reseting the computer and it'll just get stuck there!!!
eeekk...i spent 4 days installing the sytem and i really really do not want to format it it again...
someone please save me

hmmm first how bout some system stats..
is your psu up to spec( yeah yeah i know usual scape goat question) biut it is highly recomended that you have a healthy 20+amp 12v rail.
you mention scsi..
i saw some threads that a certain model adaptec card had some problems.
i have read in maxpc magazine that norton ghost had some problems with a sata raid array(needed to add a /plus some text code to work) maybey that is a question for norton tech support..puely a guess though.
it reallly shouldn't be that hard to set up your system though...
if your memory and psu is fine, try unpluging sound card..usb devices, check for grounded case( did you use the bhrass stabndoffs tro mount your mobo. is your psu overloaded by 8 drives a heavy duty graphics card etc.. try to go to basics and go from there.
did your windows system have scsi drivers loaded? may need f6 install from fresh..
can you see the drive in bios... is bios boot order correct..
is cableling good.. tried other capples, check for creases, missing power etc..

RAC on Windows with NAS

Hi,
I'm working on installing a 11.2.0.3 2-node RAC on Windows 2008R2 64bit, with an EMC NAS for shared storage.
From my research, this configuration is possible through
1) iSCSI (MOS note ID 1054027.1)
or
2) Direct NFS
Network attached storage (NAS) systems use a network file system (NFS) to access data. You can store Oracle RAC data files and recovery files on a supported NAS server using the Oracle Direct NFS client. (Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide)
or
3) ASM
You can place voting disks and OCR files either in an Oracle ASM disk group, or on a cluster file system.
Oracle recommends that you choose Oracle ASM as the shared storage option for the database data files and recovery files.
Can/should the above be used in combination with each other? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is iSCSI the only means of sharing the OCR/voting disk files? Perhaps my confusion comes from a misunderstanding of each options specific functionality.

1. Is Oracle RAC 11.2.0.4 on Windows 2012 supported with storage - NAS.
2. If we use NAS, can we use ASM or shared file system to install process
3. Do we have any performance impact if we use NAS
1. Yes, it is supported.
2. You should be able to use ASM or a shared (clustered) file system. Talk with your NAS vendor.
3. I run Oracle RAC on NAS and it works fine for us. However, NAS is TCP/IP connected and wont' be as fast as a SAN with top Fibre Channel connectivity.
When deploying Oracle RAC on NAS (or any other storage for that matter), work with the storage vendor. They should be able to provide you information on how to set it up correctly to support Oracle RAC databases.
Cheers,
Brian

You know its not certified?
My first thought when I read the subject of this thread, and before reading what you posted, is that you've either done no research on RAC or didn't understand what you've read.
You can create a RAC cluster using any operating system certified by Oracle.
But the operating system is the least important part of creating a cluster. The questions you need to be able to address are:
1. What is your solution to created shared storage?
2. What is your solution to create the cache fusion interconnect and VIPs?
If you don't have an answer to these questions you can not build a RAC cluster.

HT1926 Have the same problem as many other users: tried to update iTunes on Windows 7 today; first message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 1

I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
