Please verify my RAC install with ASM procedure with a question.

Good morning.
My installation procedure on RAC with ASM (ASM will be on separate home from DB):
1. Install clusterware 10.2.0.1
2. Apply database patchset 6810189 upgrade clusterware to 10.2.0.4
3. Apply CRS patch bundle #4 8436582 to clusterware
4. Install oracle DB home 10.2.0.1
5. Apply database patchset 6810189 upgrade to 10.2.0.4
6. Apply DB PSU (patch# 8576156) 10.2.0.4.1 (includes CPUJUL2009) to the oracle home
(steps 7-9 are similar as step 4-5, except for ASM home. Or should I install ASM home before installing DB home? )
7. Install oracle DB home 10.2.0.1 for ASM and configure ASM
8. Apply database patchset 6810189 upgrade to 10.2.0.4 for ASM
9. Apply DB PSU (patch# 8576156) 10.2.0.4.1 (includes CPUJUL2009) to the oracle home for ASM
10. Run DBCA to create database.
Can I apply DB PSU (patch# 8576156) 10.2.0.4.1 (INCLUDES CPUJUL2009) to DB while the clusterware is 10.2.0.4, as I know DB version should not be higher than clusterware version? Or can I upgrade clusterware to 10.2.0.4.1?
Thanks for advice,

Hi,
Applying PSU (10.2.0.4.1) does not mean that you are moving to higher version of Oracle. Oracle releases will be like 10.2.0.4 , 10.2.0.5 like that.
10.2.0.4.1 is the PSU version for Jul 2009 PSU.
10.2.0.4.2 is the PSU version for Oct 2009 PST.
Like CPUs PSUs are also quarterly. It is not necessary oracle should release the PSU/CPU for every oracle home/CRS home every quarter.
For now, the PSU (Patch no: 8576156) is only applicable as shown below.
PSU 10.2.0.4.1 includes the following previously released bundle patches:
- Generic Recommended Bundle #4 (Patch 8362683)
- RAC Recommended Bundle #3 (Patch 8344348)
- Data Guard Broker Recommended Bundle #1 (Patch 7936793)
- Data Guard Physical/Recovery Recommended Bundle #1 (Patch 7936993)
- Data Guard Logical Recommended Bundle #1 (Patch 7937113)
Refer to the installation types of this patch (download README of this patch bundle).
Table 1 Installation Types and Security Content
Server homes - PSU 10.2.0.4.1
Client-Only Installations - None
Instant Client Installations - None
(The Instant Client installation is not the same as the client-only Installation.
For additional information about Instant Client installations, see Oracle Database Concepts.)
ASM (Automatic Storage - PSU 10.2.0.4.1
Management) homes
CRS (Cluster Ready Services) - None
homes
So, there is no PSU patch for this quarter for CRS Home. You may check the previous CPU/PSUs to make your home secured/updated with all patches.

Vasu

Problem with a procedure with a type table varchar2

Hey,
I can't seem to call my function with a custom type:
The function:

v_urls VARCHAR2(600);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..v_table.count LOOP
v_urls := CONCAT(v_urls,v_table(i));
END LOOP;
RETURN v_urls;
END f_get_urls;
t_table is declared in the package header:
TYPE t_table is table of VARCHAR2(100) index by binary_integer;
All goes well if i call the fucntion from within the package, but when i call it from an other package I get the next error:
Error(12,11): PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'F_GET_URLS'
This is the procedure where i'm caling the fucntion:

This is a class loader issue, somehow you have deployed the same classes in two places, so have two different versions of the classes.
How, exactly have you deployed things, where are your domain classes?
The issues is most likely that,
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("SpacesReposPUnit");
will always return the same factory once it has been deployed.
If you pass a properties map to createEntityManagerFactory and set the property "eclipselink.session-name" to a unique value, then you should get a new factory.

What are the installed fonts that come with Premiere Elements 13

Anyone Please
What are the installed fonts that come with Premiere Elements 13
and If I download the trial and then convert with a purchased, does the trial have all the fonts and themes and add-ons, more that the disk version.
I have a new Mac, and it does not have a DVD drive, but I can get one need be.
Thanks

BabieMe
The Premiere Elements tryout should have all the features of the program. But, remember that Premiere Elements Mac does not necessarily have all the features
of Premiere Elements Windows.
Premiere Elements Windows uses Windows fonts.
Since I am strictly an Elements Windows user, I am not sure of the details of Mac fonts. Not sure if the following will help.
Mac OS X: Font locations and their purposes - Apple Support
Fonts on Macintosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Based on the Windows model, I would suspect that Premiere Elements Mac will use the Mac fonts of the Mac system.

Oracle RAC with ASM install failure

Hi Guy's
I've just rebuilt an Oracle RAC system, i've built this system many times and have the build documented. I usually follow the build doc to the tee and everything works fine. I have now been asked to rebuild the system to go into the production evironment. This is a two server standard RAC setup using ASM. We have a HP MSA500 shared storage setup. I've run the cluster verification tool and all the checks have come out fine. Whilst installing the clusterware i get a failed error message whilst it try's to confiure the Oracle Clusterware Configuration Assistant.
The error message i get is:
Command = C:\Windows\system 32\cmd\C Call E:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\crs\install\crssetup.config.bat
PROT-1:Failed to intialize OCR Config
STEP 1 Checking status of CRS cluster
STEP 2 Creating directories (E:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\Crs
STEP 3 Configuring OCR repository
ocr upgrade failed with (-1)
I've done this build many times and never seen this error. From what i've read on the internet it looks like it could be something up with my shared storage but i dont know what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM+RAC

Gurus,
Need some suggestuon on Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM and RAC option.
We have found many documents on the Oracle, HP, HP-Oracle CTC and third party web sites, but nothing that is specific to this particular combination of separate
ORACLE_HOMEs, ASM and 10g RAC CRS. It is unclear for me from the documentation how this combination of ASM and 10.2g RAC may best be installed.
The high level steps i got after reading lot of docs as follows - but i am not sure whether these are correct or not. if they are correct, can any one share their experience/notes please?
1) Install CRS
2) Install RDBMS for ASM HOME - create separater oracle home for ASM instance using OUI
3) Install RDBMS for RAC Database Home - create separater oracle home for RAC database using OUI
4) Create ASM database using DBCA -
5) Use dbca to create database.

Oracle provides 'paint by numbers' tutorials called 'Oracle By Example'. (Go to OTN, check under the Training tab)
They have one for a Windows based ASM/RAC that you might want to review. Not your specific environment, but the steps will be dag-nabbed close.
I recommend walking the path (http://otn.oracle.com >> training:OBE >> Database 10g Release 1:VMWare:Installation
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb_vmware/install/racinstallwin2k/racinstallwin2k.htm

Hi ,
I have to upgrade rac database from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.4.Please let me know the best way to upgrade using ASM.If you will give a brief steps which has been used for real upgrade then it will be a great help.
(1)Can we upgrade 10.1.0.5 crs software if yes then what are the steps?
(2)we can upgrade the db by installing new software(10.2.0.4)
(3)How to deal with ASM as asm has been introduced in 10.2.x only.
(4)How to upgrade existing OCR and Voting Disk?
Please give me some guide line for smooth start.

Installation of RAC with ASM on Solaris

Hello Everybody
I have to install and config oracle 10g RAC and ASM on Solaris, and as per my understanding network prerequisite is 3 IP's for each node,
1) A public IP's registered on DNS and
2) A virtual IP's registered on DNS, but NOT defined in the servers. can be defined later during Oracle Clusterware Install, And
3) a private IP only known to the servers in the RAC configuration, to be used for the interconnect.
The scenario is like
The Servers & the Storage are in different Network and hence the public registered IP address & Virtual IP address is not possible. Only Private IP Address can be possible, But both the servers are accessible from to me Please confirm on the same.
My question is
Is is possible to build the RAC and ASM only with the private IP without the public and the virtual IP, if yes how?
The setup is not going to be the part of any production or any development environment, I am new to this and just wanted to test the RAC installation with ASM.
Your inputs or suggestion are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
for a 10g RAC you need:
- a host-IP for every node
- a private IP for every node
- a virtual IP for every node
Host-IP and Private IP must be assigned to both hosts and conenction between the hosts using either the host-IP or the private IP must be possible.
Is is possible to build the RAC and ASM only with the private IP without the public and the virtual IP, if yes how?The term "private" and "public" does not refer to public IPs. It refers to the fact "private" is only for communication between the nodes and public for communication between the client and database.
For a successful installation you need at least these three IPs on each system.
So for instance your public IPs reside in the network 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 and your private interconnect network can be 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0. Both networks consists of private (i.e. non-routeable) IPs.

Database migration from non rac and non asm to RAC database with ASM

HI,
i have requirement to import one database ( db1) which running one node with out ASM and with out RAC , now i want to import that database with rman backup to another database ( db2) which running on different server with 3 node RAC and ASM ( disk group +DATA ) , can you please provide me the steps how i can migrate.? ( i have created db2 with dbca with RAC).
regards,

Sri,
This could be done multiple ways. Simplest for you is to use DBCA:

How to convert single instance10g db to 11gR2 RAC with ASM

Hi,
I need your help to decide the plan about how to convert single instance 10g database to 11gr2 rac with asm.
I can have about 6 to 8 hours of downtime to upgrade and move to rac with asm.
db size is about 1.5tb and on AIX.
here is my plan....
1) install 11gr2 rac with asm on two nodes
2) verify rac installation and clustered asm
3)install 10g oracle binaries( yes 10g )
4) shutdown production db ( machine prod )
5) make copy of production and restore on 1st node ( using shadow image , so it's quick and its file system )
6) upgrade db to 11g ( still of file system )
7) after successful upgrade, move to asm ( rman backup )
8) add another node
does it look okay ? OR is there a better approach to save time?
can someone help me ?
Thanks...

Thanks ...
So here is what I thought... suggest if something is not right...
1) install 11gr2 grid infra on node A and B with ASM
2) stop CLUSTER ON BOTH NODES.
3) shutdown prod db on 10g ( downtime starts )
4) take rman cold backup
5) restore rman backup on node A on ASM ( as if single instance 11g , no rac parameters )
6) mount and run upgrade script for 11g, then open db with 11
7) after successful upgrade, shutdown db node A
8) change all rac related parameters, spfile,undo,redo for rac environment on both nodes
9) open db in rac environment
can I do this way ?
My only question is, even though I installed rac on node A and B, in step 5 and 6 I'm using only node A as if it is single instance. Is it possible ?

Thanks for all suggestions.

10g Grid (RAC) on Linux with ASM and OCR?

I was trying to install 10g on Linux with ASM. The docs are not terribly clear on this, but I'd like to have the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) on one of my four ASM disks, rather than dedicate space to OCFS. I have 4 18.2 GB drives setup with ASM now. Is there a way to do this?
I guess the other thing I could do is to cut the ASM disks into two partitions. One, say 200MB and the other the rest. I'd put OCFS for OCR on the 200MB partition on one of the disks. The large partition on each of the rest of the disks would be dedicated to ASM.
What am I missing? I feel it must be something obvious. I'd rather have the OCR on the ASM, so that I don't have to deal with it...
Thanks!

Hi.
There shouldn't be a problem with this provided you use a 32-bit OS on the 64 bit machine. RAC doesn't care about the chipset, so long as the same OS is used, but I don't thinkit will support one node on 32 bit and one on 64 bit, since they are actually separate distributions.
Of course, I've never tried it so I can't be sure :)
Cheers

Please verify my RAC install with ASM procedure with a question.
