Rac 11g Aix with HACMP

Hello,
I will be installing Rac on 11g aix and will be using shared raw disks/Lun's to configure OCR & voting disks without using HACMP clustering . I however have the HACMP file sets installed, will this affect my install or cause any problems.
I remember reading somewhere,not sure where that i would need to remove HACMP if i use plain raw disks for configuration.
Please help.

Hi There
I had issues installing 10.2.0.1 CRS software.. not too sure about 11g however in principle this will have a problem .. We had to cleanup the filesets.
You will have issues when you run root.sh and will error message like following
"Failure at final check of Oracle CRS stack"

# Find out AIX Filesets.
lslpp -l |grep -i hacmp
# Uninstall file sets
HACMP filesets
RSCT filesets
Make usre you remove /opt/ORCLcluster directory .. and follow the CRS reinstall metalink doc if you have already tried installing CRS once.
Hope this helps
Thanks

RAC Newbie: Does RAC on AIX require HACMP?

I've never installed/configured RAC before, and the documentation I'm finding has conflicts on whether HACMP needs to be installed. One FAQ states the following:
Is HACMP needed for RAC on AIX 5.2 using GPFS file system?
The newest version of GPFS can be used without HACMP, if it is available for AIX 5.2 then you do not need HACMP
Another documentation article states HACMP is REQUIRED for 9i RAC on AIX.
Does anyone know the real answer to this question? Our configuration is AIX 5.3, GPFS 2.1, Oracle 9.2.0.4. Thanks in advance!!

The latest information from Oracle says:
Oracle9i RAC always requires HACMP.
HACMP is optional for Oracle Database 10g RAC.

RAC on AIX

Does RAC on AIX require HACMP or GPFS?. I think these are licensed products of IBM. Can't I use CRS without HACMP or GPFS?.
OS: AIX 6.1
DB : 10.2.0.4

Hi Boochi,
Yes. It is possible!
See on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14201/storage.htm#sthref602
You must use raw devices to store OCR and Voting disks and ASM to store database files

RAC on AIX 6.1 with HACMP

Hi
Can I have installation procedure and documents to Install 10gR2 RAC on AIX 6.1 using HACMP(for cluster control) instead of Oracle Clusterware. Is that possible ? anyone tried it before and share the experience.
Regards,
Akthar

Do you have any particular reason for using HACMP cluster control instead of CRS?
As you are going to install 10GR2 RAC So there is no need to use HACMP because 10G CRS can be installed without OS clusterware.
However CRS can be installed along with HACMP but oracle services should be controlled with CRS inly.

Rajesh

Cannot install CRS on AIX 5.3 ML09 with HACMP 5.4.1

We have a two-node HACMP cluster, it's handling the networking and storage. (raw LV's) It's a fairly simple setup. I followed the instructions in document 404474.1 "Status of Certification of Oracle Clusterware with HACMP 5.3 & 5.4" to ensure it's compatible.
Full OS and software Versions:
AIX 5.3 ML9 (53-09_SP1_5300-09-01-0847)
HACMP 5.4.1.4
Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.1 from the install media, DBA will be updating to .3 or .4 after install)
We've run the cluvfy script. It does complain about some missing patches; however, I've verified that none apply to our system. Ie, some of the patches apply to previous AIX ML, etc. Cluvfy does, however, detect the presence of the cluster and successfully collects the networking info from both nodes.
So, the cluster is running, we run rootpre.sh successfully on both nodes. It properly detects the presence of the cluster and successfully makes several changes to the system.
Next, we fire up the installer. (runInstaller) We provide it with the details for the various directories and what-not, everything is successful until we get to the "Specify Cluster Configuration" screen. It's blank. For some reason, it's not talking to the HACMP and can't acquire any of the cluster configuration data. There are no errors in any logs. We ran the installer through truss at the request of Oracle support, but it didn't seem to show us anything useful.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is there something we need to do in order for the installer to communicate with HACMP?
Thanks!
Adam

Dear Kushan,
Few hints from my side
1) For ECC 6.0 EHP4 -> First ECC 6.0 will be installed on NW7.01 stack. Later you will need to use ehpi tool to upgrade to EHP4.
2) For SCM 7.0 plan the resource allocation for Livecache and Optimizer server. Ensure that they have ample resources for operation.

Your Principal name should be the SSO LB URL.(ie :sso.mycomany.com)
ktpass -princ HTTP/sso.mycomany.com@DOMAIN -pass XXXXXXX mapuser DOMAIN\user -out oam.keytab.
Also make sure sso.mycomany.com has a reverse DNS configured correctly.
you can check using dig command
ping sso.mycomany.com
What ever the ip-address
dig -x <IP-ADDRESS>
Check in the reverse DNS section there should be 1 record.

1.1.1.1.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR sso.mycomany.com.
Let me know if you have more questions.

OSB 10.2.0.2 Implementation on AIX 5.2 with HACMP - SSL Trust Issues??

Hello All
I think I'm on a bit of a long shot with this one unfortunately, but I am trying to implement an OSB solution on a production HACMP cluster. The configuration would look as follows:
OSB Admin & Media Host : Windows 2003 x86 (Host: FPTXOSB01)
OSB Clients : Server 'pserver1' is node 1 in an HACMP cluster, public IP address 192.168.14.6
: Server 'pserver2' is node 2 in the same HACMP cluster, pubic IP address 192.168.14.10
: Server 'ptest1' is a stand alone AIX 5.2 host)
OSB Version : 10.2.0.2.0
I have implemented the solution on the stand alone host 'ptest1' without any problems, and performed a full database RMAN backup on this test servr at the first time of asking. The problem I am running into is with adding the HACMP clients to the OSB admin domain.
HACMP is configured in such a way (rightly or wrongly I do not know as yet) with boot, public and cluster service addresses. Eg. Server 'pserver1' will return 'pserver1' if you enter the 'hostname' command at the AIX command prompt. Entering the 'uname -a' command also returns 'pserver1' as the machine host name. However, in the folder '/usr/local/oracle/backup/bin there is a link to a binary called 'hostinfo' and this is called by the installob routine during the installation phase. When I run this command manually, it returns the HACMP host boot address 'pserver1_boot'. The /etc/hosts file looks like this on one of the nodes:
# Internet Address Hostname # Comments
# 192.9.200.1 net0sample # ethernet name/address
# 128.100.0.1 token0sample # token ring name/address
# 10.2.0.2 x25sample # x.25 name/address
127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
10.10.10.86 pserver1_boot1 pserver1
10.10.10.87 pserver2_boot1 pserver2
10.11.10.86 pserver1_boot2
10.11.10.87 pserver2_boot2
10.12.10.86 pserver1_hb
10.12.10.87 pserver2_hb
192.168.14.5 pserver_svc
192.168.14.6 pserver1_pers
192.168.14.10 pserver2_pers
As you can see, the main host name is tagged on the same line as the boot1 IP addresses. Unfortunately, the 10.10.10.xx range is private and dedicated to the HACMP cluster configuration. So the situation is, all of the clients on the network access the cluster via the 'pserver_svc' virtual IP, which is fine. The Oracle databases listen on that VIP too, no problems. For telnet/SSH access to the host, we log on via the '?_pers' addresses (persistent addresses), no problem. However, two hosts themselves see their own respective hosts as the '?boot1' name. So, on 'pserver1' if I were to ping 'pserver1' it resolves to the 10.10.10.86 IP. All good, however the OSB admin server is going to come in on the 192.168.14 public network.
When adding the host using either the 'mkhost' command or the web tool, the host creation just sits there and eventually times out. If I change the '/etc/hosts' file such that 'pserver1' as en entry sits on a line on its own and configured with the correct persistent address of 192.168.14.6 and then try adding the host in OSB, the host adds okay. However, if I then try and ping the host using OSB, it returns the following:
ob> pingh pserver1
Error: can't connect to NDMP server on pserver1 (address 192.168.14.6) - timeout waiting for connection status message
pserver1 (address 192.168.14.6): Oracle Secure Backup services are available
Additionally, we have to switch the '/etc/hosts' configuration back because the HACMP cluster services expect that configuration and it will fail over if it performs a cluster host state check.
With this in mind, we've introduced cabling on to another unused NIC port on the two hosts, and put these NICs on the network on 192.168.13.110 and 111. I have retried adding the hosts with the machines actual host name, with the boot address (pserver1_boot1) and also with a new alias for the new NICs of 'pserver1_en1'. In most of these cases, adding the host actually comes back with a success status. However, the OSB ping consistently fails.
I believe that the mismatch in host names on each of the cluster hosts is causing the OSB trust relationships to break down as the certificates will be created with the non routable host/IP combination. The following is an extract of the 'observiced.log' from 'pserver2' following the host addition specifying the '192.168.13 .xxx' network:
2009/01/07.14:33:53 listening for requests on --

2009/01/07.14:38:54 failure to negotiate SSL connection with component obtool on fd 6 - SSL fatal alert during negotation (FSP Oracle network security functions)
I am clearly looking for help from anyone else who has had the unfortunate experience of implementing OSB in an HACMP environment. Speaking to people who work with HACMP tell me that the configuration is perfectly normal. To me, its odd that machine called one thing should return another value when it looks up itself, one that isn't routable.
If anyone can suggest anything that might help, additional tracing, manually creating SSL certificates to work around the host name, disabling SSL, anything that might allow two way communications on ports 400 and 10000 using the OSB tools.
Any helps here would be much appreciated.
Regards
Simon

Rac installation on AIX with physical disks.

we have aix 6.1 server (2 lpar/vio) and I am planning to install oracle RAC 11GR2. We do not have storage so need to use available physical disks.
Is it possible to create RAC with phisical disks. We do not have Aix administrator so please Guide me by step by step commands.
We need RAC with ASM.

please state where is the problem

Hi,
GPFS is not free, and needs to be purchased.
ONLY GPFS 2.3 is certified with RAC as for today.
Certification for 3.1 ion under way.
About 9iRAC and HACMP on AIX 5.3, ONLY HACMP 5.1,5.2 and 5.3 are supported, not yet HACMP 5.4. For info, 10gRAC is only supported with HACMP 5.1 and 5.2.
To find out how to setup HACMP for a 9iRAC installation, you can use the following document, available on http://www.oracleracsig.org :
CookBook V3.2 - Oracle 9iRAC on IBM@server pSeries running AIX5L
(Step-by-step installation guide for 9iRAC on AIX5L. Whith HACMP for database on concurrent raw devices And IBM GPFS for database on shared cluster filesystem. Including HACMP and GPFS setup.
The document covers HACMP 5.1 or 5.2, not 5.3 release, but it should be nearly the same with some screen changes.
Point which is different with the cookbook for now, it's the way to create the lv (logical volume), you should use the "-T O" options for it.
Hope it will help.
Regards.
Fred.

10g R2 RAC in AIX

Hello,
I always work with Linux (red hat) to build our RAC clusters, and I never have seen "abnormal" performance and stability issues.
Well, now I'm in a project to build a RAC in AIX 5.3. Somebody please can share the experience on this plataform? What is the "best practice" use or not HACMP? I've search in metalink and there's a lot of bugs related to Clusterware in AIX, the system is stable with RAC?
Thanks.

Hi user572788,
HACMP is optional option for RAC on AIX, start with 10g, Oracle Clusterware doesn't depends on vendor cluster. I have a RAC 10g on AIX running with HACMP too, as long as you configured correctly and in certification matrix, you shouldn't see any problems. For me RAC on AIX is quite stable but still has a small issues. No system is perfect in this world
Cheers
