RAC 10g Linux VMWare on windows 2000

I have installed RAC 10g for Linux VMWare on Windows 2000 and have an issue with the Enterprise Manager console. Does anyone now how to improve the display of Mozilla Browser. The appearance is quite blurred and some buttons and text are barely visible. I though about changing the desktop resolution but this made things worse.

I have found a workround, which is to use another workstation I have on my network to launch the Enterprise Manager console. However, I would still like to know if anyone has a proper solution.

Problem of using OCFS2 as shared storage to install RAC 10g on VMware

Hi, all
I am installing a RAC 10g cluster with two linux nodes on VMware. I created a shared 5G disk for the two nodes as shared storage partition. By using OCFS2 tools, i formatted this shared storage partition and successfully auto mounted it on both nodes.
Before installing, i use the command "runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n node1,node2" to determine the installation prerequisites. Everything is ok except an error "Could not find a suitable set of interfaces for VIPs.". By searching the web, i found this error could be safely ignored.
The OCFS2 works well on both nodes, i formatted the shared partition as ocfs2 file system and configure o2bc to auto start ocfs service. I mounted the shared disk on both nodes at /ocfs directory. By adding an entry into both nodes' /etc/fstab, this partition can be auto mounted at system boots. I could access files in shared partition on both nodes.
My problem is that, when installing clusterware, at the stage "Specify Oracle Cluster Registry", I enter "/ocfs/OCRFILE" for Specify OCR Location and "/ocfs/OCRFILE_Mirror" for Specify OCR Mirror Location. But got an error as following:
----- Error Message ----
The location /ocfs/OCRFILE, entered for the Oracle Cluster Registry(OCR) is not shared across all the nodes in the cluster. Specify a shared raw partition or cluster file system that is visible by the same name on all nodes of the cluster.
------ Error Message ---
I don't know why the OUI can't recognize /ocfs as shared partition. On both nodes, using command "mounted.ocfs2 -f", i can get the result:
Device FS Nodes
/dev/sdb1 ocfs2 node1, node2
What's the possible wrong? Any help is appreciated!
Addition information:
1) uname -r
2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.EL
2) Permission of shared partition
$ls -ld /ocfs/
drwxrwxr-x 6 oracle dba 4096 Aug 3 18:22 /ocfs/

Hello
I am not sure how far this following solution is relevant to your problem (regardless when it was originally posted - may help someone who is reading this thread), here is what I faced and here is how I fixed it:
I was setting up RAC using VMWare. I prepared rac1 [installed OS, configured disks, users, etc] and the made a copy of it as rac2. So far so good. When, as per the guide I was following for RAC configuration, I started OCFS2 configuration, faced the following error on RAC2 when I tried to mount the /dev/adb1:
===================================================
[Root @ *rac2* ~] # mount - t ocfs2 - o datavolume, nointr / dev / sdb1 / ocfs
ocfs2_hb_ctl: OCFS2 DIRECTORY corrupted WHILE reading uuid ocfs2_hb_ctl: OCFS2 DIRECTORY corrupted WHILE reading uuid
mount.ocfs2: Error WHEN attempting TO run / sbin / ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation not permitted" mount.ocfs2: Error WHEN attempting TO run / sbin / ocfs2_hb_ctl: "Operation not permitted"
===================================================
After a lot of "googling around", I finally bumped into a page, the kind person who posted the solution said [in my words below and more detailed ]:
o shutdown both rac1 and rac2
o in VMWare, "edit virtual machine settings" for rac1
o remove the disk [make sure you drop the correct one]
o recreate it and select *"allocate all disk space now"* [with same name and in the same directory where it was before]
o start rac1 and login as *"root"* and *"fdisk /dev/sdb"* [or whichever is/was your disk where you r installing ocfs2]
Once done, repeat the steps for configuring OCFS2. I was successfully able to mount the disk on both machines.
All this problem was apparently caused by not choosing "allocate all disk space now" option while creating the disk to be used for OCFS2.
If you still have any questions or problem, email me at [email protected] and I'll try to get back to you at my earliest.
Good luck!

Oracle RAC 10g on VMware

I am installing Oracle RAC on 2 virtual machines using RHEL 3-U7, basically I have been able to install RAC and the software for the database. However when I run dbca to configure ASM, I get
Error When starting ASM instance on node node1

last line repeats
CRS-1028: Dependency analysis failed because of:
CRS-0223: Resource ora.node1.ASM2.asm has placement errors.
I ran ifconfig and appears to be a VIP on both servers. Is there a reason/solution or a workaround for this issue ?. Thank you in advance for your help

Is Oracle 10g Express Edition compatible with Windows 2000 advanced Server

I have installed Oracel 10g Express Edition on windows 2000 advanced Server, but it is not working properly, but when i installed it on Windows 2000 Professional, then it is working properly, Does anybody know why this is happening. If anybody know why this is happening, please tell me and also tell me how can i install Oracle10g xe in Windows 2000 advanced server.

There should be no issues. A few possible reasons you are running into problems:
- installation using a domain administrator (it works best using a local admin);
- firewalls or anti-virus software or other port blocking mechanisms;
- DHCP resets;
However, unless you tell us exactly the symptoms we are only guessing.
My car didn't start this morning, but my wife's car did. Can you call me why based on this information?

Rwserver -install server_name - failing in windows 2000 server

Hi
I have the same question namely how does one create a new (in my case an "own process") Report Server. I have copied below a snippet from the Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) documentation (it ommits to tell how a new service is created!)
"If you add any Reports Servers after installing Oracle Application Server, you should register the new server(s) in two places:
The Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server's opmn.xml file.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g's targets.xml file.
To register a new Reports Server in both opmn.xml and targets.xml, run the
following command line:
On UNIX:
ORACLE_HOME/bin/addNewServerTarget.sh reports_server_name
On Windows:
ORACLE_HOME\bin\addNewServerTarget.bat reports_server_name"
So does running the script also create as well as configure the new service?
Thanks

Install of OEM 10g Grid controll on windows break my listener

Hi!
I install OEM 10g Grid controll to Windows 2000 server, successfully (a new database to the repository also was created by the installer).
When I restart our server the service of the Listener did not started (it was set to automatic) and I did not able to start it.
First I see the "Listener.log" and the trace file.
The problem was that the listener intended to load adapter protokoll and refer to the "orantcp9.dll"!
Because before the install I create a 10.1.0.2 database the path of the file point to the "Db_1\bin" and here is "orantcp10.dll" exists.
The "orantcp9.dll" is exists in "em_1\bin".
What and how can I fix?
An additional question : during my secont installation I select to create the repository into an existing database, but the installer refuse it because my DB version was 10.1.0.2 and not 10.1.0.3.
How can I create DB with 10.1.0.3 version on Windows?
I am in a deadlock :-)
Regards,
Imre

Try MetaLink Doc Id 284680.1
The issue was that the EM Grid Control created an ORACLE_HOME environment variable. All you have to do is delete the variable, move the Database Oracle Home entries in the path to the front, and reboot the server.

RAC 10g

Dear All,
I am trying to find out any document regarding Step-By-Step Installation of RAC 10g with OCFS on Windows.
I appreciate if anyone can help on this.

2 nodes RAC with Oracle 10g on Windows 2000 server

Hi at all. I want to manage a cluster having 2 nodes on windows 2000 server each of them with Oracle 10g. I have VMWare 5.0. Someone can suggest me a detailed tutorial how to start and built it? Thank you very much for your answers.
Saverio Sergio Mola

the cookbooks here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/vmware/cookbook/index.html
will explain how to install.. however the VMware Workstation product doesn't offer in a supportedway the sharing of two nodes of disks.. there are hacks out there, but they are not very stable. We therefor chose to install two instances on one node to showcase RAC, rather than make it complicated and unstable to use and showcase.
there are also ready made VM's from above page, so u can quickly evaluate it for both Red HAt and SuSE.. when vmware can support such sharing in an easy supported way we might re-evaluate.. until then my personal suggestion is to stick to simple case.. 2 instances on one node.. its easier to copy, snapshot.. etc.
Enjoy..

Hello Guys,
I was reading this article on link http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/25 it says the following
"If you had a physical machine with two network cards installed and a second hard disk with absolutely nothing else on it, you could achieve a RAC using a physical machine"
I am in procesof installing 2 nodes RAC and have configure network requirements on each node. I am struck with shared disk storage... can i acheive a shared diak storage by adding an other hardrive to one of the nodes? Please help...

Suggestions for Oracle 10g Installation using VMware in Windows XP.

Hi All,
I am using Intel(R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU P8600 @2.4 Ghz with 1.98 GB RAM with Windows XP with 70 GB disk space. I would like to install a 2 node RAC with ASM and if possible also configure a DG for learning and testing purpose.Please advice if this will work using a VMware . Is RAC VM possible only Linux or with Windows as well ?
I think 11g is out of scope since i don't have sufficient memory.
I am new to VMware and have not done any installations or used it till now.
It would be appreciated if you could help with these doubts.
1. How much memory can be allocated to each instances?If i am installing Linux how much memory is required ?
2. what will be the load on the CPU and will i be able to use it without any resource crunch ?
3.Once memory is allocated to VM, can it be claimed back , is it like if i am not starting the VMware services.. i have the full 2 GB in discretion?
4. Can 10g Standard editions be used for learning purposes?
If the above hardware is not sufficient, please suggest a suitable configuration
Hari
Edited by: Hari2012 on May 27, 2012 12:24 AM

You do not have sufficient hardware - you will likely need 6GB of RAM or more, plus 100G of disk or more and a multiprocessor machine. Each VM will need at least 2GB of RAM, and once all of the VMs/RAC are installed, the system will be pretty busy running 3 OS's (host and two guests) and two databases. If you do not start up the VMs, all of the memory is available for the host to use. 10g is no longer available for download, you will have to use 11g - yes SE edition is sufficient for learning purposes.

RAC 10g on Linux VMs problems with smp

I'm following Vincent Chan's article "Install Oracle RAC 10g on Oracle Enterprise Linux Using VMware Server" in order to get up to speed on Oracle RAC on Linux. I've had good success so far but it appears that when the kernel was created it was created as smp even though I only had processor count set to 1. I went on to choose the oracleasm-2.6.9-42.0.0.1EL driver for UP kernel not realizing I had an smp kernel. Now that I'm trying to create ASM disks I get the following message:
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ]
Loading module "oracleasm": Unable to load module "oracleasm"
[FAILED]
I'm assuming this problem is due to the wrong asm driver being installed.
So my question is, since I truly have a single processor virtual machine, should I try to rebuild the kernel as UP? Or should I try to re-install the smp version of oracleasm and keep the kernal as smp with 1 processor?
Additional info:
# rpm -qa | grep asm

Hi Frits,
I had the same problem but could not find the right rpm.
Can you give the URL?

Sendmail on linux and oracle colloboration suite on windows 2000

Hello
I am new to Oracle collaboration suite .We just want to know ,how we can implement sendmail on linux server on a seperate machine and Oracle collaboration suite on windows 2000 on a different machine.Whether it is possible or not if yes then what are the steps to be taken for this,I mean how we can go for it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Maddie,
=> Phsyical DataGuard supports different platforms, but not different versions. So no option.
=> Logical Standby => while supporting different versions of database, it hat platform restrictions. So especially with 10g is not an option as well
=> GoldenGate is probably the way to go, but unfortunately not a cost free option. But would ideally support what you expect.
=> Streams might be possible as well...
