Oracle Rac 11GR2 installation issues;

Hi fellows. I wonder if you could help me with an issue:
I have this Oracle RAC with 2 nodes, using OS Oracle Linux 6.3 with architecture x86_64.
The installation was doing ok, but on "Prerequisite Checks" i had a problem:
"Device Checks for ASM"
Device Checks for ASM - This is a pre-check to verify if the specified devices meet the requirements for configuration through the Oracle Universal Storage Manager Configuration Assistant. Error:
"/dev/oracleasm/disks/OCR1" is not shared - Cause: Cause Of Problem Not Available - Action: User Action Not Available
Check Failed on Nodes: [cmsora02, cmsora01]
Verification result of failed node: cmsora02

Verification result of failed node: cmsora01
Details:
PRVF-5149 : WARNING: Storage "/dev/oracleasm/disks/OCR1" is not shared on all nodes - Cause: - Action:

But, the thing is: They are Shareable.
I will prove to you:
[root@cmsora01:/root]$ oracleasm listdisks
DAT1
FRA1
OCR1
OCR2
OCR3
OCR4
OCR5
REDA1
REDB1
And
[root@cmsora02:/root]$ oracleasm listdisks
DAT1
FRA1
OCR1
OCR2
OCR3
OCR4
OCR5
REDA1
REDB1
I don't know if this proves a thing, but the disks are readable for both nodes.
Anyone has passed for this situation before ?
Any hint would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

11gR2 installation on Solaris failed with prereuisite 124861-15

The 11gR2 installation on Solaris 10 sparc failed with prereuisite 124861-15.
When I tried to install the patch 124861-20, it failed with the following(see below):
I have Sun Studio 12-2 installed on the system.
It was complaining that some packages (SPROmrcom, SPROlangx, SPROlang,SPROsunms ) are not installed.
Where can I get these packages? Should not it be included in the Sun Studio 12-2 installation?
Thanks.

Regarding Heartbeat in RAC 11gR2

Hi,
This week and completed RAC 11gR2 installation on Linux environment successfully.
Now customer's NETWORK guy raised one more point related to heartbeat and requested us to change from single heartbeat to dual(may be multi) heartbeat. Can any body share me the links related to this? I am doing further cheks on this through MOS.
1) How to check what kind of heartbeat is being configured.
2) how to change to dual/Multi heart beat mode. etc.......
Thanks in-advance for your support.
Regards
DBA.

Starting from 11.2.0.2 there are new feature called High Availability Interconnect, which allows you to create up to 4 interconnects. In reality, even if you configure only 1 interconnect, all 4 will be created. Having several interconnects simplify the ip change if required somewhere in the future, along with loadbalancing and failover capabilities.

As you stated, Ubuntu is not a certified distro for Oracle installs - so errors should be expected. Google for sites (like http://www.pythian.com/blog/installing-oracle-11gr2-enterprise-edition-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/) where others have documented their experiences. Also, just because you are able to install the software successfully does not mean it will work as advertised.

Step by Step RAC 11GR2 with Grid Infrastructure on Solaris installation

Y'ello All,
Please I need documentation for RAC 11GR2 with Grid Infrastructure on Solaris installation urgently.
Thany you very much for your support
BR,

What type of shared storage will you be using?
Properly configure DNS
Properly configure /etc/hosts files
Properly configure SCAN
Properly configure SHARED storage (Preferably ASM - "raw" devices) - make sure you partition the disk devices to "skip" the first 1MB of the device)
BEFORE installation, confirm grid-owner and oracle-rdbms-owner can read AND write to these shared devices from ALL nodes. Permissions must be set to <grid-owner:<grid+oracle shared group> (grid:oinstall where oracle is also in the oinstall group)
Properly configure ssh password-less connections for both GRID-owner AND oracle-rdbms-owner.
IP addresses required
3 SCAN addresses that point to myhost-scan.mydomain.tld in a round-robin fashion
PER NODE:
1 public IP address
1 virtual IP address
1 interconnect IP address should be iin /etc/hosts ONLY - Non-routable and not reachable via the public interface. DO NOT use CROSSOVER cable.
Interconnect should be on a DEDICATED INTERCONNECT switch.
As for the SHARED storage, the LUNS/Devices can be "carved" out on your SAN by your SAN admin. MAKE SURE that ALL devices in a given diskgroup are EQUAL size. (ie - DATA000=250GB/each, DATA001 500GB/each etc)
The installation guide gives a lot of directions on PRE-REQUISITES. Follow them. And remember, since you are new to this, you may install this several times before you get it the way you need it to be. Even installing MANY RAC clusters on multiple platforms, I still install it 2-3 times. Generally because the SA has forgotten some pre-req step.

ASM pfile lost in Oracle RAC 11gr2

Hello Gurus,
I am new to Oracle RAC 11gr2 and facing some issues. our spfile/pfile for asm instance is lost and I am not able to startup the asm instance.
Environment is as below:
RAC 2 nodes
Oracle RAC 11gr2
Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/init+ASM1.ora'
Is there any way to recover the spfile/pfile ?
Also getting following error while try to connect " sqlplus / as sysasm"
$ sqlplus / as sysasm

Hi,
Do we need to Set variable ORACLE_HOME properly (Grid Home) while starting RDBMS instance?
e.g ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/11.2.0/grid*I recommend you set ORACLE_HOME properly for each Oracle Installation when you use SQLPLUS.
i.e: cat /etc/oratab
orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
db10g:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
+ASM1:/u01/app/11.2.0/gridAlso you can startup/shutdown our database with SQLPLUS using ORACLE NET*, but it must be configured properly.
My recommendation <s>is always</s> use SRVCTL and CRSCTL to manage to your environment. Track all the process of initialization processes through the logs using ADRCI utility (only 11.1 or later).
When use SRVCTL or CRSCTL to manage I recomend you use (GRID HOME).

3° - If this database is for TEST ONLY and you not need backup or recovery of then you can delete all archivelog using RMAN (i.e delete archivelog all;)
I recommend you create routine of backups of the database and archivelog to prevent this area becomes exhausted.
If you need the database in archivelog but it is only to test then create routine to delete archivelogs periodically.
If you dont need the database in archivelog, then just disable it.

Installation error in invoking target 'agent nmhs'

Dear All,
I am new to this forum and I would like to inquire about the reasons behind a specific installation error of Oracle 11gR2 on Fedora 13 and the way to fix it. The error led to a weired behavior for the EM. I am going to explain everything precisely to flap the correspondence time so please please please bare with me.
I have followed precisely all the pre-requisites for preparing the installation environment (Fedora 13 Linux OS) by following the instructions in the manual that comes on the source installation Disk-1of Oracle 11g R2, like assigning the environment variables, setting kernel parameters, installation of all the required and necessary packages, creating the necessary directories and changing the owner ship, in addition to creation the user 'oracle' and the necessary groups. This installation ends up with a successful working database that can be accessed using sqlplus locally and remotely from another machine. My EM also worked but for a limited period of time for only about 10 to 15 min then after that I cannot access it due to a problem in the agent background process or daemon that is resulted from the error happened during the installation, and need to restart my machine. Here is what happened.
My installation is a stand alone database (database control / console database). Everything went smoothly during the installation except the following error that I couldn't get rid of or fix it, and I just continued the installation by clicking on the continue button of the OUI alert window. The error message on the alert window is:
Error in invoking target 'agent nmhs' of makefile '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/sysman/lib/ins_emagent.mk'. See '/u01/app/oraInventory/logs/installActions2010-06-24_03-22-15PM.log' for details.
and here is the contenets (error part) of the installActions2010-06-24_03-22-15PM.log file

After all the above, I am going to explain here how this error affected the EM. Here is the output of starting the dbconsole:

Becuase of this error, the actual status of the database is not shown up in the EM. For example, if I try to startup my database through the EM, it starts successfully, but its status will not be shown, same thing happens for the listener. Clicking the View Details link in the EM after starting up the database shows up the following:

Agent is Not Running
again notice the last line of the message Agent is not running.
After all the above, I beleive that the installation error is the cause of all that. I would appreciate it if you could help me solving this problem. Thanks.
Bassam A. Al-Khaffaf

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle 11g R2 after some manual intervention to solve this linker error.
The linker error actually gave the useful hint to solve this problem:
INFO: /usr/bin/ld: /home/akos/app/akos/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/sysman/lib//libnmectl.a(nmectlt.o): undefined reference to symbol 'B_DestroyKeyObject'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'B_DestroyKeyObject' is defined in DSO /home/akos/app/akos/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/libnnz11.so so try adding it to the linker command line
/home/akos/app/akos/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/libnnz11.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
This means that the gcc linker phase lacked an option for "-lnnz11". I run "make agent nmhs" manually,
so the last command that gave an error can be copy&pasted to the command line. Adding "-lnnz11"
after "-lcore11" to the command made it run successfully, and also re-running "make agent nmhs"
on the command line didn't fail now. Then I chose the "Retry" button in the installer GUI and it proceeded.
This change in the Fedora 13 linker was announced at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-The_GCC_Compiler_Collection.html
In Fedora 12 and earlier it was allowed to an app with library A and the app was able to use symbols
from every other libraries (B, C, ...) that library A was linked with. In Fedora 13 this is not allowed anymore,
your app needs to be linked explicitely with library B, C, etc.
Later, there was another problem with SELinux not allowing text relocation in .../product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1
which was solved by running:
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '.../product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1'
and re-running configuration of "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant". This allows keeping SELinux on.
After that, installation and setup of the first database succeeded on Fedora 13.

I've had a very similar problem with DBCA and creation of an 11.2.0.3 database and this ORA-00119:Invalid specification for system parameter REMOTE_LISTENER ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name 'orapscan:1521'.
The solution to my problem was that on the host (a production host) that I was trying to execute DBCA from if I did a 'tnsping orapscan' it did not resolve.
On our development host a 'tnsping oradscan' (oradscan is the scan equivalent in dev for our production equivalent orapscan) it resolves ok.
ie.
13:22:15[oracle@euxq10 [eu11d] ~]$tnsping oradscan
TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production on 08-APR-2013 13:22:20
Copyright (c) 1997, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Used parameter files:
/apps/oracle/network/sqlnet.ora
Used EZCONNECT adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.3.55.34)(POR..... etc.....
In this case, it is resolved from EZCONNECT.
This then led us to look at the sqlnet.ora on both our development and production environments, and this is where we found a difference.
In our development environment in sqlnet.ora, we had -
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
But in our production environment in sqlnet.ora we had -
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES)
Thus when we changed our sqlnet.ora in our production environment to include EZCONNECT - ie.
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
Then when we retried the DBCA create, we did not receive this ORA-00119 / ORA-00132 error with parameter REMOTE_LISTENER.
Anyway, this was the solution to my problem. Hope it helps others.

Roger

ORA-00354, ORA-00353 on RAC 11gR2

Hello All,
I have a database Oracle RAC 11gR2 on OEL linux 5.5 32bit.
When i am trying startup my database I am facing the below errors: this error is occuring on the startup of any node
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00354: corrupt redo log block header

ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '+DATA/orcl/onlinelog/group_1.261.761845161'It seems that my online redo log is corrupted. how can i solve that ?
knowing that my database is running in NOARCHIVELOG mode and i do not have any backup.
and why i am not able to start up any of the nodes? redo logs is not related to each node seperately ?
I tried: srvctl start instance -d orcl -i orcl1 or srvctl start instance -d orcl -i orcl2
but the same error, where is the High Availibilty in that case, the redo log file group_1 is for thread 1 only. SHould not be able to start Instance 2?
Regards,
Edited by: NB on Oct 13, 2011 5:12 PM

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

Installation error - File not found

Dear all,
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 on a server which is running Sun Solaris 10u8 for x64.
I have already performed all steps to prepare for the installation (both hardware and software). When running Oracle 11gR2 installer, I passed all the prerequisite checks. However, when the installation began, it met an error at "Copying files" step, please see screen shot in the following link (it said that it could not found many files in /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0 folder): http://www.mediafire.com/?nx3yjhdajuz
I do not what to do now to install Oracle database software successfully in this machine now, please give me suggestion if anyone know what the problem is.
Thank all of you very much.
HuyNQ.

Dear all,
There was a confuse of me between using Solaris and MS Windows.
In MS Windows, when I extract a *.zip file which is a part of a big archive file, it will extract all the others part for me. For example, if I have abc_1_of2.zip and abc_2_of_2.zip in a folder, when extracting abc_1_of_2.zip, it also extract the abc_2_of_2.zip and the result is I have a big file with "abc" as the name contains both files.
However, in Solaris, it is not the same. Today I have extracted the second part of the archive and re-do the installation and everything is OK now.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards,
HuyNQ.
