RAC 10g rel2: OCFS or ASM ?

Hi all,
I have successfully installed a 10g_r2 RAC on Linux RH3, currently using ASM for all
database files (data, control, redo and flash_reco_area). But I don't like very much ASM,
I would prefer to have direct control on all files, so I am thinking about using OCFS.
Is there any significant performance difference between ASM and OCFS on RHEL3
(Itanium 64 bit) ?
Thanks and bye,
Stefano

Hi
WHat is the storage(shared between two nodes) used in your case .

Solaris 10 Installation for Oracle RAC 10g Rel2

Hello,
I have bought Enterprise 4000 and 250 in order to install and explore Oracle 10g Rel2 RAC.
In this regard I need some guide lines for
1. Installinig Solaris 10
2. Should I use ASM or other other volume manager?
If anybody can give me a starting document, it will be great.
Thanks,
Javed

I'm assuming you mean running RAC with or without Sun Cluster? If so, the answer is that there would almost no difference in most cases. The only case I can think of would be if you had a sub-optimal interconnect without Sun Cluster where Sun Cluster's clprivnet would have given you striping and availability for free.
I am currently working on a Blueprint that describes the important differences between the two configurations (with and without SC). They can broadly be summarised as:
Sun Cluster gives you:
* Better data integrity protection
* Faster, more reliable node failure detection
* Makes your name space homogeneous, simplifying installation and device management (DID structure), so no need for messy symbolic links
* Gives you a highly available, striped cluster interconnect for the Cache Fusion traffic. (No need for tricky IPMP or link aggregation configurations.)
* Allows you to use volume managers link Solaris Volume Manager or VxVM
* Provides support for shared QFS as a file system for all Oracle objects, data includes (while still allowing ASM)
* A substantial collection of Sun written and supported agents to manage other applications you might also have on your cluster, e.g. NFS, SAP, Apache, etc, etc.
Hope that helps,
Tim

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.
Best regards,
Wessam

10g RAC installation guide for Windows is:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14207/toc.htm
And David is right, OCFS is supported on Windows:

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,
don't worry about GSD. GSD is only used if you also run 9i databases in the cluster. Even though it should state as OFFLINE (not as unknown), I would not care about that.
However ONS should not be in the status UNKNOWN.
Can you do the following:
srvctl start nodeapps -n
To restart the ONS and see if it stays.
Also post the output on onsctl debug
(All from CRS Home).

Since you didn't say "thank you", I assumed my time was of no value to you.
However, I shall try again.
There is no relationship between instance failure and VIP failover. How can there be? What if you are running ten instances on each node, and one fails? Would you want the VIP to relocate? And I've already told you how to test it: kill the node. Just reboot it.

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:

2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup

19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

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/

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!

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:

I had this problem and resolved it by transporting the file to the installation server with the correct ftp datatype (binary).
On page 54 of the install guide (..Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence\doc\doc\bi.1013\b31765.pdf) that comes with the installation files, there is an instruction to make sure that any ftp activity is done in binary.
This may not have occured with the license.xml file if you use a tool which offers the "feature" of automatic datatype recognition.
Hope this helps.

Error when adding a new node to RAC 10g

Hi all,
I have a RAC 10g environment test in Linux Red Hat Umbreakble 5 with two nodes. This RAC is fine on 2 nodes.
I want to add a new node (rac3) of the following way:
- The node 1 (rac1) is started and the instance ORCL1 is online.
- The node 2 (rac2) is offline. i.e the machine is off.
- The node 3 (rac3). The machine is on and already configured
So that when I execute the CRS_home\oui\bin\addnode.bat on node 1 and put the information of node 3 (Public node name, Private node name, Virtual host name) and press next I get the following message:
OUI-35000: Fatal cluster error encountered (PRKC-1071 Nodes rac2 did not respond to ping in 30 seconds) - Sure: The machine is off;
My question is: Can´t I add a new node on RAC if a node is off ?
Anybody can help me.
Thanks.
(Wander Brazil)

Interesting question.
You might have better luck getting an answer if you ask where people discuss RAC, instead of asking where people report documentation issues. (Go to http://forums.oracle.com and scroll down to 'Grid Computing' to see RAC forums.)

Oracle 10g rel2 Forms on windows Vista (Patches7047034 and Opatch 6880880).

Hello All,
I have been trying to apply patch 7047034 by using Opatch Universal Installer (Opatch 6880880). But I have not been able to do this. The main reason of applying this patch is to enable my forms 10.1.2.0.2 to be upgraded to 10.1.2.3., so that it can run on windows vista with Internet explorer 7.
At the momment it does not run the forms it just show a grey page after trying to run the Test.fmx form.
If I try to run any other form it comes up with an ORA-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
When I click on the ok button, it comes up with the login page. When I try to re-login without entring the connect identifier it comes up with thesame error message ORA-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
But when i try relogin using a connect identifier it comes up with ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve connect identifier specified. Then a grey page is all i see on the screen. I found that a bit strange since am already logged on, on forms 10g. Why is is it still asking me for further credentials.
Having read several literature from the forum i thought the patch was what i needed. And this is what i did to apply the patch.
After setting environment variable ORACLE_HOME
C:\DevSuiteHome_1>set ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1

I do not know which one to download. Is it the zip file for windows or the Patch against perl 5.6.1

Hello Hsawwan,
Thanks for your reply. It is not part of Oracle E-Business. But this is Oracle Forms Application server release 10.1.2.0.2, and oracle Database 10g. rel2, installed seperatelly. I can connect ok to the database from forms 10g. But when it comes to running the forms, the browser comes up and i can see the java sign on the browser, after that it prompts me for username, password and connect identifier. As mentioned earlier, when i supply 2 criteria ie, the username scott, and password tiger I get ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adapter error. However, when i supply all 3 questions, ie username, password and connect identifier- ORCL, I get error message
ORA- 12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
Also i need to download Perl 5.6.1, does any body knows where i can download this?
Because the I currently have perl 5.8.3 and opatch is pointing to perl 5.6.1.
The site i found has error cannot display page.
Also where is the application env file located, and what should i be setting in this file.
Sorry for the long explanation. I hope I am making some sense.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Not really for dummies, but it may be a good way to get started:
