RAC/Clusterware help

I realize this is not the best place to post this message, but I do not know where else to put it...
I have Oracle Clusterware installed on a two node cluster. All Oracle components are functioning correctly. Problem is when I try to add my own application to the cluster, I am having major issues.
I am trying to have Samba launch and fail over on to different cluster nodes. Problem is I can not even get RAC to launch the Samba daemons -- I get a placement error.
CRS-1028: Dependency analysis failed because of:
'Resource in UNKNOWN state: SambaFailsafe'
CRS-0223: Resource 'SambaFailsafe' has placement error.
Attached are the files used to create the action scripts and application profile. I just need to be pointed in the right direction here; I do not know what I am doing wrong…
Software versions - running RAC and Database 10gR2 on Red Hat Linux 4 Update 4.

Hi DNJ,
What you need to do is create temporary pfile with parameters like below
*.asm_diskgroups='DATA','FRA'
*.asm_diskstring='ORCL:*'
*.asm_power_limit=1
*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
*.instance_type='asm'
*.large_pool_size=12M
*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE' modify the above diskgroups to reflect your diskgroup configuration
then start the asm using that temporary pfile
SQL > startup pfile='/tmp/asmpfile.ora'once the asm instance started you can recreate the spfile
create spfile='+DATA' from pfile='/tmp/asmpfile.ora'shutdown the asm and start it back again
Hope this helps
Cheers

  • Oracle RAC + Clusterware and another Cluster with Clusterware for SAP

    Hi,
    I have some questions about implementation of Oracle RAC and Clusterware with SAP
    For exemple, an architecture with 4 servers ( 2 real and 2 vritual ).
    I would like to know if i can do this
    2 servers for the first cluster.
    First cluster is with Clusterware and Oracle RAC
    This is for all the SAP Oracle databases environment
    I think there is no problem here.
    Now, with 2 others servers il would like to make another cluster (with also clusterware ) for SAP Central services (SCS) and enque replication server (ERS)
    Because all architecture is for only one SAP environment with separate services.
    1 for Database (cluster 1)
    1 for Central services ( cluster 2, virtual machine )
    1 for Dialogue Instance (no cluster)
    To be clear, the second cluster is to make HA of central services SAP (SCS and ERS )
    My question 2 are :
    Is it a good job to do this ? or there is anything wrong ?
    Do i have to install antoher clusterware for this 2 servers or i have to make anything with the existing clusterware + oracle RAC ??
    Thank you very much for you help

    Hi Givre,
    have you checked: Providing High Availability for SAP Resources (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clusterware/pdf/sap-availability-on-rac-twp.pdf) available on otn.oracle.com/clusterware? Not being an SAP expert myself, I still think, this paper describes the configuration - at least partially - that you are trying to set up.
    Just an idea. Thanks,
    Markus

  • ORACLE RAC - Clusterware 11Gr1  -

    Hi,
    We are starting a fresh installation of an Oracle RAC database on:
    IBM AIX 5.3
    Processor Type: PowerPC_POWER7
    Processor Implementation Mode: POWER 6
    Processor Version: PV_6_Compat
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Processor Clock Speed: 3108 MHz
    CPU Type: 64-bit
    Kernel Type: 64-bit
    We are changing the servers and installing new binaries: clusterware ,asm binary, rdbms binary. After that, database will be migrated to this server. The oracle clusterware will be on 11.1.0.7, ASM on 11.1.0.7 and RDMS on 10.2.0.4. We are installing exactly as it is in production now.
    After the servers were release to the dba, configured the ocr and voting disks and the pre-reqs, during the installation we face an error on the second node, while running the root.sh. The installation went successfully, 100% and on the first node finished successfully and started the services. On the second node, while running the root.hs, it failed with the message :
    --> Failure at final check of oracle CRS stack. 10
    Checking the logs, we could see the following:

    All the notes seems to point to and interface/interconnect problem, but we dont have any clue on what parameter or what checks we need to perform with Unix Team. Does anybody had this issue? Any clue on what may be need to be adjusted or configured to solve this issue? Following below is the interfaces of both servers: hodb001lernew and hodb002lernew:

  • Solaris 10g RAC Clusterware Raw device dd comand block size, sizing

    Hi
    We are in the process of installing clusterware for RAc on solaris 10. I have 4 luns 500mb each, we want to use them for the voting disks and ocr,
    1. Which one do we use /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk?
    2) Also how do you erase the data to clear them out, I think you use the dd comand correct, but what is the full sytax to cllear the voiting disk and the ocr, do I need to specify a block size ??
    3) Somebody was saying I should label the disks, just incase the controllers change the numbering if they ever get reconfigured, can this be done in SUN Solaris, if so can you give me an example, and do I specify the label as the ocr path??
    Thanks
    For all the info.

    1. Which one do we use /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk?
    $$
    Please use Character Device ,This is general practice. However from 10.2.0.1 Block Device can also work.
    # chown oracle:dba /dev/rdsk/cxtydzs6
    # chmod 660 /dev/rdsk/cxtydzs6
    2) Also how do you erase the data to clear them out, I think you use the dd comand correct, but what is the full sytax to cllear the voiting disk and the ocr, do I need to specify a block size ??
    $$
    do
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ocr_disk$i bs=8192 count=25000 &
    done
    3) Somebody was saying I should label the disks, just incase the controllers change the numbering if they ever get reconfigured, can this be done in SUN Solaris, if so can you give me an example, and do I specify the label as the ocr path??
    $$
    Oracle recommends that you use a file name similar to dbname_raw.conf for this file.
    The following example shows a sample mapping file for a two-instance RAC cluster. Some of the partitions use alternative symbolic link names. Make sure that the partition device file name that you specify identifies the same partition on all nodes.
    system=/dev/rdsk/c2t1d1s3
    sysaux=/dev/rdsk/c2t1d1s4
    example=/dev/rdsk/c2t1d1s5
    users=/dev/rdsk/c2t1d1s6

  • EBS R12 RAC Clusterware Installation.

    Hi hussein/helios
    The Oracle support has installed a RAC on our EBS Prod server but it was a POC(proof of concept) only. So the name was TEST RAC instance.
    Now, we want to install the final config setup named PROD following the docs he made on the TEST POC. We will also
    reuse all the files, directories, and raw devices used in TEST as PROD. Meaning all the traces of files and home dirs of TEST will be renamed to PROD, and change ownerships from oratest to oraprod.
    First, we run deinstall of all the TEST install software like the CRS, ASM. We also delete the traces of TEST on inittab and oraInventory.
    Then we now installed first the CRS_PROD. But to our surprise the CRS installation failed , it seems that it still
    can see the "test" setup :(
    Failure at SlfAccess(/u02/oracle/oratest/product/11.1.0/crs) with code -1Note the we already deleted the above directory since it belongs to the old setup, while the existing is:
    /u02/oracle/oratprod/product/11.1.0/crs
    My question is, how do you completely cleanup or deinstall all the previous traces of CRS?
    Thanks a lot,

  • Install Oracle Linux + 11G Rac (itanium) HELP

    Hello, sorry for the English ...
    I have 2 hp server rx2620 itanium, mas1000 and should do tests to install oracle 11g rac linux oracle, but on linux I can not, someone can give me some advice or guide on the internet? my question is how to share the disk, so that the 2 servers are able to see them, I use ASMLib?
    2 hp Server rx2620 itanium (4 NICs + 2 fiber channel cards)
    MSA1000 (2 100gb disks to be shared) Fibre Channel
    Oracle Linux 5.5 IA64
    Oracle 11g Grid
    Oracle Database 11g
    Sorry and thanks.

    There does not seen to be much current development in this area. Oracle Linux 5.5 is apparently the last version available. I would ask Oracle support about current and future plans to support the IA64 bit platform. Perhaps you might rather want to use HP Unix instead of Linux. Apparently Red Hat is no longer going to support the IA64 platform according to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/12/18/redhat_rhel6_itanium_dead. Oracle Stops All Software Development For Intel Itanium Microprocessor (March 2011) http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/346696
    I think this might actually be another example of a silly development in the IT industry, where customers prefer cheaper, often more trivial solutions, over more expensive superior solutions. The majority of customers is apparently buying into the the Intel x86-64 architecture to support x86 CISC based software like MS windows, thinking a x86-64 CPU is just as powerful as a IA 64-bit CPU.
    Regrading your question to share the disks, you need hardware that supports device sharing and a cluster file system. There are several options for hardware, typically fiber-channel, iSCSI and the older differential (HVD) SCSI for SAN and even NFS can apparently be used with a certified NAS storage. MSA1000 should be fine. Oracle provides OCFS2 cluster filesystem and you can also use ASM. You don't necessarily need ASMLib, but need to setup multipath or udev. How to setup the MSA1000 for shared storage should be in the Storage controller manual.

    ht.
    constr = [5988488] retval lht [-27] Signal CV.
    Cause
    OCR got corrupted.
    Solution
    To resolve this issue need to restore OCR from backup.
    Oracle automatically takes backups of the OCR every 4 hours. Oracle also keeps the last 3
    backups, up to 4 hours old, one day old, and one week old available. Here are the steps for restoring the OCR.
    1. Find out what time the problem that the inconsistency in the OCR occurred.
    2. Find an OCR backup from a time prior to when the inconsistency occurred.
    To do this cd to $ORA_CRS_HOME/cdata/<cluster name>
    [or]
    Run $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/ocrconfig -showbacku p (In this case you may not get any result)
    Example:
    # pwd
    /t02/app/oracle/product/crs/cdata/crs_opcbsol
    # ls -ltr
    total 46560
    -rw-r----- 1 root root 3960832 Apr 12 19:53 week.ocr
    -rw-r----- 1 root root 3960832 Apr 13 03:53 day.ocr
    -rw-r----- 1 root root 3960832 Apr 14 03:54 backup02.ocr
    -rw-r----- 1 root root 3960832 Apr 14 03:54 day_.ocr
    -rw-r----- 1 root root 3960832 Apr 14 07:54 backup01.ocr
    -rw-r----- 1 root root 3960832 Apr 14 11:54 backup00.ocr
    3. If you have a backup of the OCR from prior to the time of the inconsistency,
    reboot the nodes in single user mode or runlevel 1. If you are unable to
    reboot into single user mode for some reason, you can disable CRS with:
    Sun or Linux:
    /etc/init.d/init.crs disable
    /etc/init.d/init.crs stop
    HP-UX or HP Tru64::
    /sbin/init.d/init.crs disable
    /sbin/init.d/init.crs stop
    IBM AIX:
    /etc/init.crs disable
    /etc/init.crs stop
    4. After all nodes are rebooted in single user mode and/or you have verified that
    CRS is not running (ps -ef | grep crs), restore the OCR with ocrconfig.
    Example:
    cd $ORA_CRS_HOME/bin
    ./ocrconfig -restore /t02/app/oracle/product/crs/cdata/crs_opcbsol/week.ocr
    5. Re-enable CRS if it was disabled. Example:
    Sun or Linux:
    /etc/init.d/init.crs enable
    HP-UX or HP Tru64::
    /sbin/init.d/init.crs enable
    IBM AIX:
    /etc/init.crs enable
    6. Reboot the nodes.
    Best regards,
    Rafi.

  • What advantages/disadv to having a none-rac db datafiles on rac clusterware

    Hello,
    We have a rac 10.2.0.3 with ocfs2 files on linux 4. We want to create a none-rac database on one of the rac nodes. The none-rac 10.2.0.4 is in its own new separate oracle home. Would it be a bad idea to use the existing ocfs2 mountpoints for the none-rac datafile locations? What would be adv/dis-adv to using ocfs2 for none-rac database files? Thank you.

    I will disagree of if a non-RAC database should use CFS or not. Since the file systems in use are clustered I see no reason to use a non-clustered file system and by using a CFS should the server the database is built on fail you can with a few minor edits start the database on the other node. If you used a traditional file system to hold the non-RAC database then its data files would not be accessible to the remaining node.
    Placing the Oracle database on CFS then starting it from another node in the advent of failure is one of the early high availability (quick recovery) methods. This kind of set up was not uncommon in the VMS (DEC) world back in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
    Also what if at a future data you determine you want to convert the database to RAC? It will be easier if the database is already on a CFS.

  • What is exactly clusterware in RAC

    What is exactly clusterware in RAC? Is it same as having a shared disk or is it the RAC software itself?
    I got confused while reading below sentence.
    "If you are using Oracle clusterware you can add nodes dynamically. "
    Can someone explain what it is?

    user6440749 wrote:
    What is exactly clusterware in RAC? Is it same as having a shared disk or is it the RAC software itself?It is software used to coordinate one or more computers in a cluster.
    It makes use of network and often makes use of a shared-writeable disk.
    It makes sure all computers in a cluster, that are supposed to be operating in the cluster, can communicate. It provides diagnostics and takes action if the computer it protects is no longer functioning correctly as part of the cluster.
    For RAC, Clusterware is the backbone software that provides the infrastructure for inter-instance communication.

  • Solaris 10 and Hitachi LUN mapping with Oracle 10g RAC and ASM?

    Hi all,
    I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
    for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
    My question is this:
    How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
    I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
    I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    You don't seem to state categorically that you are using Solaris Cluster, so I'll assume it since this is mainly a forum about Solaris Cluster (and IMHO, Solaris Cluster with Clusterware is better than Clusterware on its own).
    Clusterware has to see the same device names from all cluster nodes. This is why Solaris Cluster (SC) is a positive benefit over Clusterware because SC provides an automatically managed, consistent name space. Clusterware on its own forces you to manage either the symbolic links (or worse mknods) to create a consistent namespace!
    So, given the SC consistent namespace you simple add the raw devices into the ASM configuration, i.e. /dev/did/rdsk/dXsY. If you are using Solaris Volume Manager, you would use /dev/md/<setname>/rdsk/dXXX and if you were using CVM/VxVM you would use /dev/vx/rdsk/<dg_name>/<dev_name>.
    Of course, if you genuinely are using Clusterware on its own, then you have somewhat of a management issue! ... time to think about installing SC?
