  • RAC Instalation ip configuration problem

    i have three server with same subnet mask. save os and db versiong windows server 2003 and 10g on all servers.
    server-1
    ip address : 192.168.0.29
    ubnet mask : 255.255.254.0

    server-2

    server-3
    ip address : 192.168.0.93
    ubnet mask : 255.255.254.0
    computer name : stitchdb
    Please guide me how i can configure system32\dirvers\etc\hosts file.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not sure, what you are exactly looking for, since the hosts file itself has the information on how to add new hosts/ipaddress to the file, which is something like:
    <Ip_address> <Hostname>
    192.168.0.29 maindb
    If you are look for rac configuration, apart from the physical IP Addresses, you would be needing two others - which are 1) Private IP Address - and 2) VIPA, which needs to be configured in the same hosts file on all the participating nodes.

  • RAC Instalation Problem (shared accross all the nodes in the cluster)

    All experts
    I am trying for installing Oracle 10.2.0 RAC on Redhat 4.7
    reff : http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2RACInstallationOnLinux
    All steps successfully completed on all nodes (rac1,rac2) every thing is okey for each node
    on single node rac instalation successfull.
    when i try to install on two nodes
    on specify Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) location showing error
    the location /nfsmounta/crs.configuration is not shared accross all the nodes in the cluster. Specify a shared raw partation or cluster file system file that is visible by the same name on all nodes of the cluster.
    I create shared disks on all nodes as:
    1 First we need to set up some NFS shares. Create shared disks on NAS or a third server if you have one available. Otherwise create the following directories on the RAC1 node.
    mkdir /nfssharea
    mkdir /nfsshareb
    2. Add the following lines to the /etc/exports file. (edit /etc/exports)
    /nfssharea *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)
    /nfsshareb *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)
    3. Run the following command to export the NFS shares.
    chkconfig nfs on
    service nfs restart
    4. On both RAC1 and RAC2 create some mount points to mount the NFS shares to.
    mkdir /nfsmounta
    mkdir /nfsmountb
    5. Add the following lines to the "/etc/fstab" file. The mount options are suggestions from Kevin Closson.
    nas:/nfssharea /nfsmounta nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=300,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
    nas:/nfsshareb /nfsmountb nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,tcp,vers=3,timeo=300,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,actimeo=0 0 0
    6. Mount the NFS shares on both servers.
    mount /mount1
    mount /mount2
    7. Create the shared CRS Configuration and Voting Disk files.
    touch /nfsmounta/crs.configuration
    touch /nfsmountb/voting.disk
    Please guide me what is wrong

    I think you did not really mount it on the second server. what is the output of 'ls /nfsmounta'.
    step 6 should be 'mount /nfsmounta', not 'mount 1'. I also don't know if simply creating a zero-size file is sufficient for ocr (i have always used raw devices, not nfs for this)

  • Need 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using containers and NFS

    I'm looking for an 11gr2 RAC install Guide on Solaris 10 x86 using 2-3 containers. I need to have the NFS server reside in the global zone or on a 3rd container visable to the two rac containers.
    Please share me installation guide!
    Thank you!
    PS - I currently have run into an install issue -
    Can't change ownership on /oracle/products/11.2.0/ocr/: not owner at /oracle/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm line 5014.
    I suspect the NFS share params from the NFS server in the global zone are not 100% correct to the two rac zones/containers.

    Have you visited Oracle Support Services website (formerly metalink) to determine if your desired configuration is supported?
    Last time I looked it was not.
    That said Oracle database installation guides are fully documented online.

  • Oracle database 10g RAc an ASM configuration

    Hi all,
    I want to ask to everybody something about Oracle 10g RAC and ASm configuration. We plan to migrate to Oracle 10g from 9i, and we will begin configuring oracle but we have to decide which configuration are the best.
    Our materials are bellow:
    Hardware: RP 3440 (HP)
    OS : HPUX 11i Ver 1
    Storage: EVA 4000 (eva disk group)
    The problem is:
    Our supplier recommand us to use HP serviguard + HP serviceguard extension for RAC+ RAc and Raw device as configuration.
    But we want to use Oracekl Clusterware + RAC + ASM
    My question is if anybody know what is the best configuration, we want to use ASm.
    Can we use HP serviguard and ASM.
    Some documentations or link explain oracle RAC and ASM configuration will be appreciate.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards.
    raitsarevo

    Hello,
    there's no extra RAC software package, but the option is only offered, if one of the supported cluster layers for the respective OS has been installed before.
    10.1.0.3 looks like a complete redesign, but anyway it is a patch, you have to install 10.1.0.2 first.

  • RAC interconnect cannot configure MTU =  65520

    Oracle RAC install with Infiniband interconnect.
    Cannot get MTU set to 65520.
    I continue to get SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument when starting the ib0 interface.
    Any thoughts or suggestions ?

    check the mode of you ibx device
    cat /sys/class/net/ib0/mode
    datagram
    cat /sys/class/net/ib0/mode
    connected
    If mode is set to datagram you maximum mtu will be limited to 2044, else you can go to 65k -- all this depends on your hardware ofcourse, but these are most common settings.
    you an change it in several ways
    configure /etc/infiniband/openib.conf file
    SET_IPOIB_CM=no / yes depending on your need
    echo connected / datagram > /sys/class/net/ib0/mode
    check you documentation for other ways.

    This might be an issue with the gacutil that you are using. I have used the gacutil that comes with Microsoft SDK.
    You can install Microsoft SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3138

    - Integration Kit
    - Live office 3.1 Upgrade
    - Web Intelligence
    - XCelsius
    By trying to download - Query as a Webservice i saw there were with sequences 1-3. Which one should i donwload?
    1. I would like to know which logic to follow toinstall it.Which one should be the firt and which one the last.
    2. Before installing Query as a webservice i should first install:
        - BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SP2 Enterprise Edition
        - Web Services--> What is that and where could i download it?
        - Tomcat or another supported Web Application and JDK--> where can i download it?

    Hi Pat,
                You can get the guides and Installtion guides from this
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/
    You can download the from
    .subscribenet.com
    you can enter the user name and password then you can download the Business Objects software that can be download.
    "By trying to download - Query as a Webservice i saw there were with sequences 1-3. Which one should i donwload? "
    Sequence 1-3 you will have to download all the 3 as it can be part 1 part 2 and part 3.
    Tomcat .If you are installing for the first time it will automatically install tomcat and JDK if you are connected to the net while installing Business Objects.

    To clarify further....  It is important to note that Forms/Repors 11.1.2.x software (including WLS and JDK) must be of the same archetecture as the machine.  In other words, you cannot use the 32bit Forms/Reports 11.1.2 software on 64bit Windows.  If you are using a 64bit OS, you must install the 64bit software.  Again, this would include Forms/Reports, WLS, and JDK

    Even though you are not about to go into production I think the Production Checklist has some very useful information.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely

    As we all know,
    the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
    Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
    In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
    Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
    Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
    Get-WindowsFeature
    PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
    Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
    Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
    (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
      2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    (1)  In an existing domain environment
    Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
    Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
    Server Essentials:
    Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
    Note: The type of
    Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
    You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.
    By the way, you can use
    Get-WssConfigurationStatus
    PowerShell cmdlet to
    get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
    ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
    Figure 8.
    (2) In a non-domain environment
    Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
    Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
    Figure 9.
    After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
    After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
    After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
    Figure 12.

    Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
    In an existing domain environment
    In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
    Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
    -ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
    Figure 13.
    After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
    Figure 14.
    After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
    Figure 15.
    Next, please use the
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
    Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
    xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
    Figure 16.
    Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
    Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
    Figure 17.
    After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
    Figure 18.
    After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
    Figure 19.
    2. In a non-domain environment
    In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
    below:
    Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
    Server2: 192.168.1.53
    Run
    Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
    Figure 20.
    Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
    to
    add the TrustedHosts entry:
    Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
    (Figure 21)
    Figure 21.
    Next, we can use
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
    Figure 22.
    After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
    Figure 23.
    From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
    Figure 24.
    Then you can use
    Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
    The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
    Figure
    25.
    Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
    Figure 26.
