RAC Installation Win 32bit

Hello all,
I try to install Oracle Real Application Clusters 10g for Windows 2000 Advanced Server. First i installed the Cluster Ready Services, but there all Configuration Assistants failed.
error message for example: could not locate Service on the other Node.
I think i did my preinstallation confuiguration very well

    one question, has anybody got some good tutorial or book to recommend on how to install RAC on Win Server.
    Everything is on RHL, and is there some difference.
    Thank you in advance.

  • VM, RAC on Win XP

    I created a new thread in Database General forum (VM, LINUX RAC on Win XP before I found this forum. Admin, please excuse the double post; but, I figure I will get more appropriate response here.
    As mentioned in that thread, I'm a newbie and I'm trying to learn and install a 2 node VM RAC system on my Win XP.
    I am looking for any guidelines, any step by step on how to achieve that.
    What I have done:
    I am downloading files from http://edelivery.oracle.com
    1) Downloaded Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 5 Media Pack for x86 (32 bit)
    2) Downloaded Oracle VM Server 2.2.1
    Now I am wondering
    1) what's the difference between Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0+ and Oracle VM Server 2.2.1+ ??
    2) What's Paravirtualized Drivers for Windows Guests (XP/2003/2008/Vista) 1.0.11 - 32bit/64bit+
    3) What's VM Templates+?
    4) What's the difference between Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2 template - PV Large x86 (32 bit)+ and Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 for x86 (32 bit) with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2+ and Grid Control managed Oracle Database 11.1.0.7 for x86 (32 bit) with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3+
    My guess is VM Template (example: Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 for x86 (32 bit) with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2*) is VM that comes with DB11.1.0.6 on Linux 5.2?? if that's the case, then shouldn't I be able to achieve what I need to do with just installing twice Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 for x86 (32 bit) with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2*??
    Sorry for the long winded question. Truly confused.
    Again, any help or pointers or comments or suggestions are great_.

    Oracle VM Server runs on a bare-metal system: it is the operating system. It most emphatically does not run on top of Linux or Windows or anything else.
    If you are just trying to learn about RAC, RDBMS, and such, go get Oracle (Sun) VirtualBox. VirtualBox runs on top of Windows, so you can create RAC virtual guests using that. This would not be an option if you wanted a production configuration, supported by Oracle.
    There are two tricky points: the VM guests should use the host-only networking feature of vbox for the internode communications. This is mode is easy to configure and may even be the default.
    The other tricky point is to define a separate virtual disk as shared storage. You'll want to do this so there will be common storage between the virtual guests. Again, this is possible but just non-default.
    Google can be your friend on this; there are several step-by-step HOWTO's to get this running last time I looked.

  • Oracle 11gR2 RAC installation with DNS

    Dear Guru's,
    I want to configure RAC on two node cluster with DNS(For SCAN) in my testing server.
    O.S: RHEL5.4(64 bit)
    Oracle Version: 11gR2(11.2.0.2)
    Note: Am creating nodes in VMware ESXi server.
    Just I want to know whether DNS should be configure in any one of those NODES or in separate machine.
    Bala :)

    Hi Bala,
    I want to configure my Database with & without DNS. (Will try both installation in different servers)I think, you have already received a link on very good article about Oracle RAC installation without DNS and DHCP (I mean Jeffrey Hunter's article).
    There is one more about Oracle RAC installation with DNS and DHCP (http://gjilevski.com/2011/10/05/build-two-node-oracle-rac-11gr2-11-2-0-3-with-gns-dns-dhcp-and-haip/).
    And want to know how it forwards the client connection if a node fails.. Can anyone update the URL for this..There are a lot of information about it:

  • Oracle 11gr2 RAC installation

    Hi Gurus,
    In new project we have proposed to have 2 nodes single site RAC database Oracle 11gR2 64 Bit . We are going to have OEL 5.4 64 Bit Linux as OS and IBM as machine .
    We are migrating standalone 10g R2 database to 11r2 Rac and from HP-UX to OEL Linux . We are migrating from different datacenter .
    What would be the pfile configuration (i mean memory size doubles ) in RAC ?
    We are going to use IBM storage . Need light on followings . Pls help me out
    1>Requirements for installation
    2>Grid installation requirements
    3>ASM instance is physical database instance or just service ?
    4>Any oracle document for installation of 11gR2 Grid and RAC?
    If you provide me authorized links of RAC installation that would be better .

  • Oracle RAC installation failover

    Hi,
    I have an Oracle RAC installation with 2 nodes with the data stored on a shared OCFS partition. I had a client test the connection using jdbc string for RAC failover. I tried shutting down one of the nodes on the RAC installation and the client could not connect to the oracle cluster database for the next 5 to 10mins.
    I understand that the client would failover to the next available listener (On the next retry connection) if the node it is currently listening to has failed. Is there any configuration i should make to increase the failover efficiency?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi,
    Server side failover is arranged by setting the remote_listener parameter.
    Client side failover is set by using T(ransparent) A(pplication) F(ailover) (9i and higher)
    or F(ast)C(onnection)F(ailover). Both are documented in the Net administrators manual for the version you didn't care to mention.
    As far as I know, both TAF and FCF are not supported by the JDBC thin driver.

  • 10gR2 SE RAC installation on Windows 2003

    Hello,
    I want to install RAC on two nodes with Windows 2003 operating system.
    I have the following questions:
    Do I need Windows Clustering Software installed before I go for RAC clusterware installation?
    If not, how do I setup shared drive so that both systems can see and access OCR and voting disks?
    Is there any good documentation for RAC installation on Windows platform?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Do I need Windows Clustering Software installed before I go for RAC clusterware installation? No, you dont need any Windows clustering software for implement Oracle RAC.
    If not, how do I setup shared drive so that both systems can see and access OCR and voting disks?You need install the clusterware pre-requisites before install the Oracle Clusterware, you must see the next documentation. There explain how configure the shared disk and other pre-requisites for Clusterware, for example raw devices and other settings.

    I've two servers in cluster mode with W2K Advanced Server, and a RAID-5 array of 4 disks shared by both of them. My problem is that I've installed The Cluster Service of Windows in order to have an active/passive configuration of my servers, because I have a common directory structure that is accessed by the PC's of the LAN.
    By another hand, I want to install Oracle Real Application Cluster to manage my Oracle database but after create the extended partition and the logical drives when I execute the file \preinstallation_rac\clustersetup\clustersetup.exe to create the cluster, when I select the option Create a cluster the following error message appears me:
    "Any disk Oracle partition has been found. Stop this wizard, create an Oracle partition and try it
    again."
    I'd like to know if it's possible to have the Service Cluster of Windows 2k and the Oracle clusterware?¿ Altough before begining the installation I've stopped my Cluster Service as documentation suggests. If somebody knows what it's happening to me I'd be really very grateful.
    Thanks in advance,
    Isabel

    Hello Joel,
    I've already read all documentation provided by Oracle about Real Application Clusters
    and I've not found anything to solve my problem. Certainly I want to use OCFS but when I
    try to execute preinstall_rac\clustersetup.exe to install CFS the error appear and I can't
    continue with RAC installation.
    Besides I've tried command "lsnodes -v" and got :
    Could not load CM.dll
    Could not initialize cluster
    And when I've tried to run "clustercheck" I've got :
    ** Copy File: Create Directory failed - Error 183
    ** Directory = \\192.168.1.111\Cy$\Temp\opsm
    Created directory \\192.168.1.112\Cy$\Temp\opsm
    Could not copy file to other nodes [error = 183]
    I've read metalink Note 186130.1 Clustercheck Fails with Windows Error 183 and the only
    proof I haven't done is get the clustercheck.exe release1(9.0.1).
    Any suggestion will be very appreciated.Thanks,
    Isabel
