RAC 11 GR2 on Linux + redo

Hi all,
I have installed RAC 11GR2 on linux.
Could you explain me how can i see my redo and archived log on Linux filesystem.
These files are stored on ASM diskgroup (on FRA).
Thanks.

No i don't want to move to filesystem.
But, for exemple, if i want to backup on tape my archived log.
How can i do if my archived log are stored on ASM ?
Thanks.RMAN in conjuction with MML interface will do the work for you. Once you configure your tape library use the appropiate command to backup / restore and recover your archivelog files.
What you have to do is: First, read the Tape documentation and then configure a device type tape; "CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO SBT;"
I suggest to read the Oracle documentation also;

  • How to install 11gR2 RAC on 64 bit linux OS

    I am completely new to this topic of RAC and need to be installing and standing up RAC on Linux 64 bit OS . I have good knowledge of installing oracle database ENTERPRISE version 11gR2.
    Can you guide me as to how to start. I am looking for leads. Probably we will have 2 nodes.
    Thank you very much for helping me in advance

  • 10G RAC OCFS on Itanium Linux-64

    I've spent the last week setting up four Itanium 64-bit Linux servers with OCFS. No problems...however, when I try to install Oracle 10G, (installing CRS First as described in the manual) I can't get past the Public/Private nodes listing. CRS does Not detect my OCFS so it forces me to manually list the hostnames. As soon i'm done, I get an error that I must provide both public and private names??? which I have done. They are all setup in the /etc/hosts file identically on each node:
    [root@sysl098 root]# cat /etc/hosts
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    172.20.176.102 sysl012 #RAC-NODE-1
    172.20.176.103 sysl013 #RAC-NODE-2
    172.20.176.104 sysl098 #RAC-NODE-3
    172.20.176.105 sysl099 #RAC-NODE-4
    10.0.0.2 sysl012-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-1
    10.0.0.3 sysl013-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-2
    10.0.0.4 sysl098-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-3
    10.0.0.5 sysl099-prv #Private-RAC-NODE-4
    I'm really at my wits end here... Why doesn't the CRS install detect OCFS when it is configured and shares a filesystem on all four nodes? it's forcing me to list the nodes on the screen, yet it states that I have not done so??
    TIA- Joe

    ocfs installation is separate from CRS. please try to use the cookbooks published on otn:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/vmware/cookbook/index.html
    also in your /etc/hosts file you are missing the VIP ip addresses.
    10g requires 3 sets of IP addresses.. public, private and vip (Virtual IP)
    good luck.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the reply.
    What I noticed before that as ASM-GI has same home, so I need to apply one patch for that. After your reply I am planning to do it like that only.
    As I have posted in my main post the versions of patches to apply for Oracle Home. That seems somehow clear to me what to apply and,etc. Can you please suggest which Patch or how to find/select next patch version to apply to ASM/GI home please?
    When we select PATCH ADVISOR from MOS, for example in case of DB home, I select DB,Enterprise,Standard editio,9i,10g,11,d, OS Linux-x64,10.2.0.4. DB,OS version etc is OK, but I am confused what to select from that first drop down menu in order to select patch version for ASM/GI ??

  • Oracle 10g RAC on Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4, on 3 HP-DL380 Install Instruc

    I am searching for installation assistance (ie install guide) for Setting up an OUL4 RAC Cluster, I have found instructions using a VMserver but am interested in using 3 HP-DL380 machines. Is there a guide detailing such an installation or should I attempt to utilize the VMserver install guide, ignoring the VM references in support of 3 specific machines?
    Thank You for any assistance you can provide
    NickG

    I guess I need to specify that I will be responsible only for the "OS" Side of management and installation of the system. Do I follow the standard installation, of a standard download of Oracle Unbreakable Linux on each of the 3 machines, and then continue with RAC cluster installation as explained in the above link?
    Thanks

  • Ocfs2 RAC on Red hat linux 6 - kernel -- 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 -Oracle11gR2

    Hello,
    We want to use ocfs2 as the shared file system for running Oracle RAC 11gR2 on Red hat linux 6.
    The red hat linux kernel is 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.
    I checked the ocfs2 download site and there is no ocfs2 rpms for Red hat 6, infact there are no ocfs2 rpms for Linux 6.
    What options do I have if ...go down to Linux 5.x or move to Oracle linux 6.
    If my understanding is correct Oracle linux 6 has ocfs2 in the kernel itself and does not need to be installed separately.
    What other options do I have for having a shared file system .... ?
    Please comment.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Please refer to Note 1365511.1 - How to Configure LUNs for ASM Disks using WWID, DM-Multipathing, and ASMLIB on RHEL 5/OL 5 and RHEL 6/OL 6 . That note can help you to install and configure ASM properly.
    from the note:
    " For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (beginning with 6.4) the kernel driver package 'kmod-oracleasm' is available directly from Red Hat, and can be installed from the "RHEL Server Supplementary (v. 6 64-bit x86_64)" channel on Red Hat Network (RHN).  Updates to this module will be provided by Red Hat.  Please check with your Red Hat advisor for questions concerning support of the kernel driver package.  The 'oracleasmlib' and 'oracleasm-support' packages are maintained by Oracle; they are required in order to use kmod-oracleasm.  "

  • Oracle RAC in my Home Linux Box.

    Hi,
    I have two Linux box at home loaded with RHEL 4, both have normal IDE HDD, is there any way, so that i can test ORACLE RAC on them, i just want to test RAC and get know about its working etc. please give me some idea about it, thanks

    There's no need to have SCSI or RAID devices, although recommended for production. Follow simply the installation guide, besides there are some step-by-step documents here on OTN.

  • How do we check interconnect between RAC nodes speed in Linux environment

    How do we check interconnect speed between RAC nodes on Linux, I tried with ethtool eth1 , I am not able to get good information.

    Either ethtool or miitool.
    If you want some synthetic benchmark tool try "iperf".

  • Oracle RAC for SAP on Linux and OCFS

    We are going to be installing SAP with Oracle 10.2.0.4 RAC on Linux RHEL 5.2 and OCFS.  The Oracle RAC documentation states:
    You must store the following components in the cluster file system when you use RAC
    in the SAP environment:
    - Oracle Clusterware (CRS) Home
    - Oracle RDBMS Home
    - SAP Home (also /sapmnt)
    - Voting Disks
    - OCR
    - Database
    I'm curious about the requirement of installing the Oracle Home on shared clustered filesystem.  In other RAC installations I've built, I installed the binaries on local filesystems on each node.  This is to facilitate the concept of rolling patches.  With the SAP's requirement, it appears rolling patches are out of the question.  Can someone enlighten me on why SAP requires the Oracle Home reside on shared filesystem.
    Thanks

    We have even put /oracle/SID on OCFS, because the brtools cannot cope with local FS. If you take a backup on node1, then you cannot restore it from node2. Or you could start multiple brconnects at the same time (this is normally prevented with a lock file). Of course you could run all your all your br commands on a dedicated node, but this doesn't fit the RAC idea much.
    Just my two cents, of course this does not fully explain, why the ORACLE_HOME has to be shared as well.
    Best regards, Michael
    Edit: Ahh, now i recall, i really think it is because of the BR*Tools, they need the initSID.sap file in ORACLE_HOME/dbs. This implies that it won't be a big thing to get SAP on RAC running with local ORACLE_HOME's, but that doesn't help a lot as long as SAP does not officially support it...

  • How do handle RAC server for reboot linux server

    Hi Experts,
    We user Oracle 10.2.0.4 database at ASM with 4 nodes as RAC in redhat linux 5.
    When I got a notice from sys person. The linux server will shutdown for rreboot.
    our RAC works well. What do I need to do to match linux server reboot?
    stop RAC? stop database? stop servers? ot individual instance? all instance?
    Do we have some procedure to following for server reboot?
    I am looking for your help!
    JIm

    ideally the affected instance should be shut down gracefully
    using
    srvctl stop instance -d <database> -i <instance> -o immediate
    You can find this in your documentation.
    Oracle will automatically reconfigure itself and this will also happen if the sys person just pulls the plug.

  • Adding bigger size Redo log groups In RAC , ASM

    Hi Folks,
    Database version - 10.1.0.4.0
    OS version - AIX 5.3
    RAC node 2 and ASM
    We had 4 redo log groups of lesser size on both nodes.yesterday I added 4 new groups of bigger size using pl/sql developer tool and deleted 2 old redolog groups. But I m not able to delete remaining 2 old groups.
    ORA-01567 dropping log2 would have less than 2 log files for instance 1.
    Our redolog files are on SAN and both node points to same storage. when I fired this query from command prompt
    SELECT v$logfile.member, v$logfile.group#, v$log.status, v$log.bytes
         FROM v$log, v$logfile
    WHERE v$log.group# = v$logfile.group#;
    I got same result for both nodes.
    The problem I suspect is that All the 4 new log groups are added to instance 2 and its 2 old grouips are are also deleted.
    Now my ques is that :
    1. shouild I have added redo log groups separately on both nodes even storage is same for both nodes ?
    2. redologs groups are defined separately for each node ?
    How should I assign 2 new redo log groups to instance 1 ?
    Regards,

    Please check:
    SQL> select instance_number, instance_name, thread# from gv$instance;
    Show Instance with thread ID
    SQL> select group#, thread#, members ,status from v$log;
    Check number groups in each of thread.
    On RAC, you have to add redo log Group each of node (each of thread )
    SQL> select group#, thread#, members ,status from v$log;
    From your environment ,I think you have 2 nodes = 2 thread
    If these're thread 1, 2
    So, add redo group should:
    Example:
    ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 1 GROUP 11 ( '+DATA') SIZE 500M;
    ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 1 GROUP 12 ( '+DATA') SIZE 500M;
    ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 2 GROUP 13 ( '+DATA') SIZE 500M;
    ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 2 GROUP 14 ( '+DATA') SIZE 500M;
    You should check each thread has >= 2 groups and that group had "INACTIVE" status before drop:
    SQL> select group#, thread#, members ,status from v$log;
    My Idea, you should have 3 redo log groups for each node(thread)
    Good Luck

  • Question about a file system storage option for RAC on 10g

    Hello everyone,
    I am in the beginning of connecting our storage and switches, and building RAC on them but there is a little argument between our specialists.
    We have two database servers(10g with OEL 5) to be clustered and two visible disk groups to each of those nodes. So question is can we choose only one disk group as a shared storage leaving the rest one as the redundant copy during database a creation window while installing the database.  Because some of us argue that oracle database has a built-in capability to decide on what level of RAID we store our data.
    Thank you for your help.

    "some of us argue that oracle database has a built-in capability to decide on what level of RAID we store our data". 
    That statement is not true.  Oracle has optional multiplexing for control files, redo logs, and archive logs but this is not enabled by default and Oracle will not automatically enable it.  If you want redundancy of tables, indexes, temp, and undo you must provide this because Oracle does not offer it standard or as an option.  You can achieve redundancy with RAID at the array level, or host based mirroring (like ASM redundancy groups or Linux mdadm).  This can also depend on your file system because, I think, OCFS2 does not support host based mirroring (so you cannot use mdadm or lvm to mirror the storage if you are using OCFS2).
    Redundancy is not required, but it is recommended if you are using hard disks because they are prone to failures.  You can configure RAID 10 across all disks in the array and present this as one big LUN to the database server.  If you have two storage arrays and you want to mirror the data across the two arrays, then present all of the devices as JBOD and use Linux mdadm to create your RAID group.
    RAC requires shared storage.  Maybe you have a NAS or SAN device, and you will present LUNs to the Oracle database servers.  That is no problem.  The problem is making those LUNs usable by Oracle RAC.  When I used Oracle 10g RAC, I used the Linux raw device facility to manage these LUNs and make them ready for Oracle RAC.  However, raw has been desupported.  Today I would use either ASM or OCFS2.  This has nothing to do with redundancy, this is just because you are using RAC.

    since my database is runing in NOARCHIVELOG mode and i have no backups and the current is logfile was the corrupted one and my database was not starting.
    I solved that by ceating a pfile and adding the : allowresetlogs_corruption=TRUE
